Good that a Bitcoin supporter/lover won the presidential run off but I think he will be keeping his personal interests aside and will be doing what's best for his nation and people. It's not as easy as we think to support crypto alin front of assembly as he should be ready to convince other stakeholders if he has to make any crypto or Bitcoin friendly initiatives and to be honest Bitcoin will continue thriving even without government's support but it would be really nice if he don't create hurdles for crypto. If he remains neutral that would be more than enough for us.
1482  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there an option for automatic conversion of a coin if we set fluctuation ? on: November 20, 2023, 06:30:30 PM
The auto conversion on fluctuations are not possible at any exchange, If you will be actively monitoring the market then you can use OCO order in Binance by calculating the target yourself or simply by using stop limit orders by calculating the percentage at which you want to buy/sell. But the automation is only possible if you have a trading bot through API. But need to choose the trading bot very carefully as there are so many available in the market and most of them have failed. If you are good at logics and statistics then you can build the logic. Else try grid sop trading as well. I have answered as per my understanding of your question and if this doesn't makes sense let me know.
1483  Economy / Economics / Re: when the rich say 'ill give 95% of my billion away over my lifetime' explained on: November 20, 2023, 04:44:47 PM
Yes that's how ultra rich people gain the Messiah sort of image by statements as such which a common person fails to understand and beyond understanding of average person.

But I have never seen any billionaire or businessman keep such a huge amount in their bank account as they usually diversify their investment into different verticals because the interest rate which they get from banks are peanuts and don't catch up with the kind of inflation we are getting to see. Maybe they have much more than that and it's just a part which they hold in their bank account.
1484  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin Bear Market over? on: November 20, 2023, 03:30:38 PM
It's been a while since Bitcoin bear market has passed else we wouldn't have seen the surge in value of Bitcoin and it would had been struggling between $15k to $20k.But those who had invested when the Bitcoin was above $40k will still feel like bearish market. But for majority who has not invested or invested at the bottom they have already achieved more than 100% profit.But in general some will describe that bullrun has already started while some will say value will go down. My instinct says that this is not a bull run like we had in the past it's bit different and there are fears of market correction as well.
1485  Economy / Speculation / Re: What did you think will happen to Bitcoin before January? on: November 20, 2023, 01:34:28 PM
That True. BTC can easily do it all. However, the main problem is that we are often pressed by unexpected needs even though we have prepared well. Did you know that every month there are things that are unexpected and beyond our wishes, even though there is spare money to cover these needs, these needs are very urgent and important, right? we have to get out of the market. On average, this is the obstacle why many people are not optimal in implementing the BTC HODL pattern.
When you have spare money for life or to face unexpected things in your own life, actually that is good enough because there is no longer any interference from you to implement the BTC HODL pattern. Because usually those who experience problems like that very often are people who don't have spare money in their lives so when there are difficulties, they often take it from the investment capital that has been provided for Bitcoin. So you shouldn't experience any pressure in life if you have prepared everything well to face unexpected things in your life.

Hey that's so true as there are some unexpected expenses which will come up in form of medical exigency or be it expenses like something gets broken down for example unexpected sickness, car needs to be serviced or even dropping out mobile/laptop by mistake. We always need additional bucks in our coffee but that's next to impossible with just single source of income as we need multiple stream of income to tackle all these unplanned expenses but it's not everyone's cup of tea to have multiple stream of income and I belong to the later category hence I usually buy BTC during bear run and hold it and I have set a fixed amount from my monthly paycheck which goes towards BTC to accumulate it and occasionally I use the profits for unexpected expenses. This may sound easy but it's really difficult to set the right pattern and follow it. If we do then we will have some sort of security and back up for unplanned expenses.
1486  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is Islamic Coin? A Muslim Community Coin 🔥 on: November 20, 2023, 02:15:09 AM
I do not quite understand this project, to be honest.
What would be the appeal of this alternative coin to those who live in Islamic countries when all of them can use Bitcoin or other more established coin instead?
This is one of the problems I have seen in many alt coins, they are created with a purpose which does not exclude or represent an improvement over existing Coins.

There is no reasonable point for someone who is Muslim to avoid using Bitcoin and use Islamic coin instead. Actually, there are a lot of Muslims in this forum who actively trade and hold Bitcoin. Anyways, regardless of my opinion, I hope you can make something out this idea you have.
Good luck.

Yes, there is not even a single reason for Muslims to prefer this coin over Bitcoin as this is no different than other coins and I feel this has been created just to deceive Muslims and this was done at a time when crypto friendly policies were taking place in Dubai and it's quite understandable that this has been created to pool in money from Roch gulf Arabs and I have seen few more coins like this and trust me there hasn't been any developments yet.
1487  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Trading vs HODL - Personal Experience for Newbies on: November 19, 2023, 07:40:24 PM
I am not a newbie as you see from profile but I feel like this topic is literally describing what I have been through and yes I agree that hodling is the king when it comes to Bitcoin just like how leverages are enemy for Bitcoin it's vice versa for Altcoins wherein Hodling is enemy when it comes to most of the Altcoins except the top ones. I have lost a huge sum of amount in future trading and got into debt and thankfully I am out of it now but hodling Bitcoin has given me guaranteed profit and the problem with newbie is that they want to become rich overnight and this indulge into Altcoin trading or future trading and end up losing.
1488  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Warning]: Impersonation and spoofing of crypto related companies on Twitter on: November 19, 2023, 06:34:19 PM
This is why we are advised to do our own proper research before engaging so as not to fall victim to scams. It is good one verifies before doing anything further to save themselves of stress and heartbreak.

What annoys me most about these scams of a thing is that newbies are the victims and that makes them have a negative thought and mindset towards crypto as a result of their experience in loosing huge amount of money as it seems to be their first time and in some cases, they are being made to invest in such project by a fellow who have no idea about the project to be a scam and when the unfortunate happens that friend is also termed a scammer. This is why we need to be careful when advising newbies on crypto investment when we too have not done our own due diligence.

This is exactly what creates hatred for crypto in mind of so many people as we think they are jealous because they didn't adopt the crypto at the early day but this remains the hidden secret as most of them would have already tried investing into crypto and ended up on scam or else some of them gets into future trading without knowing the basics just by going through signals provided in Twitter and end up losing which creates negative image in the mind, iAs you mentioned they should do their own research or just get things clarified in this forum before indulging into such act.
1489  Economy / Speculation / What will SEC delay on Spot ETF approval do to Bitcoin's price? on: November 19, 2023, 11:13:32 AM
I am not sure if all of us are aware of not as SEC has delayed their decisions on Spot ETF application but they were supposed to take the decision by now and will this delay cause any set back in price ? People were speculating that there would be a price drop before halving and that didn't happened due to ETF as it helped increasing the value and since it's been delayed now will it cause any impact for the Bitcoin price? if yes then how much would it be and will it be that way till halving?
1490  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcointalk forum a home of solution on: November 19, 2023, 10:39:38 AM
Yeah this forum has answers to all the questions, also helps with suggestions and recommendations let it be for investment or selling or even using a particular exchange for trading you will get experts opinion on any crypto associated topics except the one which are beyond our control like product asks, compatibility issues as mentioned by an user name _act_ in the above response. The thing I like the most about this forum is the fact it has helped so many people from investing into scam projects as well as bot infested exchanges. This forum is a boon to us and all the crypto enthusiasts and I wish people continue to contribute their knowledge with each there so we become a strong close knitted Crypto community.
1491  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Tricky situation for Altcoin investment on: November 19, 2023, 09:50:16 AM
I would just like to make everyone cautious about the current situation as it's a period which can make or break you based on your investment strategy. It's all about Altcoin investment and most of the newbie try their luck by investing into Altcoin whenever there are rumours of bull Run and the reason they prefer Altcoin over bitcoin is that they think Bitcoin is already priced higher and it would not get pumped multiple fold any further and they think Altcoin is price priced at single digit or double digit so they can grown thousand folds but that's not the case as it's a common mistake made by newbies as they just look at the market price instead of looking total supply of Bitcoin and Altcoin, they need to consider total supply of Altcoin and calculate it with the price they expect it to reach and think if it's even possible. I would suggest sticking to top Altcoin and Bitcoin.

Please share your opinions on common mistake newbie makes when market trends upward.




That's the reason why most of the newbie investors are losing because they enter the market when bitcoin price is bullish, and because its quite expensive, resorting into altcoin investing could be their best option. At first, the idea might be working but when the market suddenly crash and altcoins prices have been dropping so badly, that's when they realized that risking their money into altcoins is not worthy and might only put them at the losing end, losing their money that were supposed to risk in bitcoin.

However, we can't blame that as they only invest at a beginner's point of view. Without prior research and making them totally aware how altcoins can be tricky and deceiving, these newbies will definitely end up quitting after losing significant amount.

Yeah it's sad to see so many newbie losing money and i have personally tried stopping few from investing when Bitcoin is at peak but we fail besse of peer pressure and the kind of hype and attention it gets when it's at peak and people anyways end up taking entry at the peak market season, Altcoin I wouldn't recommend newbie unless we are at the rock bottom of bearish market and that too with few conditions. Not all the altcoins are risky there are altcoins that outperforms bitcoin in terms of returns but we need to do our research, for example I entered SOL when it was around $8 not because I though it would cross $250 like it did last time but I knew atleast it would give 3x to 4x and it happened. Newbie just need some more market exposure and how market trend. I am aligned with your response.
1492  Economy / Economics / Re: When Was the Last Time you Came Across a Positive Economic News? on: November 19, 2023, 09:06:58 AM
It's common now a days more than the economical vows what bothers me more is the harsh reality that capitalists keep getting rich and wherein the poora are already been pushed even further into poverty but even the working class or middle clas however you refer them are becoming poor due to inflation, lesser pay, rampant corruption. I would blame capitalism for this mess but our local politicians are no lesser than them. All these are happening due to unequal wealth distribution and lack of transparency and people's whole life has been taken as hostages for mortgage and this applies to developed nations, developing nations and third world countries as well. A radical changes has to be brought it system to bring transparency which should guarantee basic amenities for all.

It's really difficult to get out of this mess almost equals to impossible hence it's better we prepare for our survival the way people did at ancient times.
1493  Economy / Speculation / Re: Timely Halving Event and Bitcoin ETF a Positive Bombshell on: November 19, 2023, 08:20:07 AM
Yes, things are looking good for both events, although without getting pessimistic we cannot rule out that something will happen in the next few months that will push the price down. But the way things are going I think that even if the first spot ETF is not approved in the next few months, the trend will be to go up a little more before halving, to pass $100,000 next cycle. The question is what will be the maximum peak of that cycle, since this one was already disappointing and with the maximum peak of the next one we will be able to draw more conclusions.

I would be more optimistic on Bitcoin halving because that's something which is a sure sure process and it will send price of Bitcoin higer after the possible correction we might see in early 2024 which you are referring as something will happen in next few months which will push down the price, I think this cycle we are yet to see actual bull run because the value of Bitcoin has already crossed $30k twice this year once in April and another instance was in July. Indeed next cycle will see new high and Bitcoin has higher possibility of breaching $100k

As far as Spot ETF is concerned it has definitely given a boost to the value of Bitcoin, But as per the latest news the SEC were supposed to make a call by now but it has postponed the result on Spot ETF approval till early next year.

1494  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs Altcoins on: November 18, 2023, 10:06:41 PM
These are temporary fluctuations and wont hodl on for longer period of time and yeah I agree these have reached ATH when Bitcoin is stagnant between $35k and $38k, But that doesn't give these coins an upper hand as these are new altcoins an same thing happened with other established altcoins when they were new.

I would say the major difference between Altcoin and Bitcoin is one give quick returns with high risk while other give guaranteed return, one has sustained numerous challenges and roadblock while other is yet to be test at such level.

we cannot compare new altcoins with Bitcoin as it will lead us nowhere, But to further confusion and wrong decision making.
1495  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin really too Expensive? Then Buy Satoshis on: November 18, 2023, 09:12:40 PM
First for those who don't know what is Satoshi, it's a smallest denomination of Bitcoin and 1 Satoshi = 0.00000001 BTC

Mate, I find this conflicting as it would create even more confusion if you keep referring to Satoshi as something different than Bitcoin as people will think of it as a parallel project of Bitcoin. There is a Stigma which has been attached like you need to hodl atleast 1 BTC to be considered as an investment but we need to understand it's not possible for everyone to have 1 bitcoin and rather they can accumulate how much ever they can based on their financial capacity. Ther figures mentioned for Satoshi to reach $0.2 sounds too overestimated as it would take decades if Crypto era lasts till that time. Instead of segregating Bitcoin and Satoshi let's put it across in simple words.
1496  Economy / Economics / Re: Imaginary Future on: November 18, 2023, 08:27:23 PM
We do, sometime we over imagine our future and starts saving everything for our future without understanding that's we are not sure whether we will live up to see the next minute or not. I think we should be reasonable to our present as well without overspending or wasting money in something without which we can still have a comfortable life.

For example, mobile phone is a necessity but having a gold covered or diamond studded mobile phone is something which is waste of money and doesn't serve any purpose.

It should be a calculated approach between present and future as we need to have enough to lead a dignified life which can be achieved only if we think about future and plan about it in the present. It should be a balanced approach without ruining our present.
1497  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why alt is important on: November 18, 2023, 07:56:07 PM
Altcoins are important because every market needs competition to overdo their competitors or market leaders by providing better technology or services which will attract the crowd but I am saddened to saw we look at crypto just as an investment and fails to utilise what it has to offer and even Altcoin developers are also just showcasing about APY instead of what it has to offer.

Another issue with Altcoins are it's volatility which makes bitcoin looks less volatile. But altcoin's volatility is a boon for experienced day traders and Bane for naive investors.

Altcoins needs to focus more on development than marketing it's APY. I am aligned about your thoughts on Solona but skeptical about other coins which you have mentioned as it's too early to comment on them.
1498  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is there so much interest in popular cryptocurrencies? on: November 18, 2023, 06:04:03 PM
I would breakdown my answer into two parts:

1. Reputation and tested:
Established coins like Bitcoin has been tested on numerous occasions with whales cashing, government calling to ban Bitcoin, Restrictions on usage and trading in selected countries but still Bitcoin is there in the market for over an decade despite facing all these challenges and bear markets and sort of gained the reputation as most trusted coin and it has the power to swing the market as per it's price. If Bitcoin goes down then entire crypto goes down and if Bitcoin pump then the rippling effect is felt across all the altcoins.

2. Project roadmap and white paper matters:
Regardless of its a small project or big but people will be interested into it only if it has promising features and if it's solving the burning issue of current time as well as how their development is progressing. If a project is already involved in real life services and if it shares their work then definitely it will have user base and investment will flow to them as work needs to happen on ground instead of just mentioning in website or whitepaper but this rarely happens a most of the new project fails to convert their roadmap into reality.
1499  Economy / Economics / Re: Life is cheaper with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general on: November 18, 2023, 12:29:13 PM
Bitcoin do beat inflation and fiat is no match to that considering the interest we earn from banks. We need to understand one thing that never go with a single asset for all your investments I would rather put 50% or 40% of my investments into Bitcoin followed by a mix of startups,  real estate and stocks. But never with Altcoins on a longer run as you mentioned even if Altcoin reaches ATH it will eventually drop and there is no guarantee that it will pump back hence I would skip Altcoin and yeah hodling fiat is one of the biggest blunders one can make. I would choose Bitcoin over Fiat anyday but need to take entry at the right moment it should be the peak of Bitcoin you invest your funds and wait for years to even make a break even, and occasionally you may convert your hodling to fiat whenever it's at peak of you have invested during bearish market.
1500  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is the minimum amount of bitcoin or satoshi should hold for poor? on: November 18, 2023, 08:42:38 AM
There is nothing like minimum or maximum and even if you hodl one bitcoin but don't know how to utilise it or when to cashout you will end up selling at bearish vice versa if you hodl even 0.1 Bitcoin and cashout at the peak you will be richer than the one sold 1 BTC at bearish. 

This question seems not valid and rather it should be like what's the minimum amount of Bitcoin one should be hodling as an asset as per their age just like how we do investment planning for other assets like stocks and shares like at 30 one should try to accomplish certain things and have a saving of xxx amount. Similarly concept should apply to Bitcoin.

Here poor will be termed based on the knowledge and wisdom because it doesn't take much time for financial situations to change. Just like hundreds and thousands of us went from having good amount saving in from of FTX to almost zero.
