Do you think it is convenient to buy bitcoin now according to your predictions? Or wait for its value to drop further?
Of course, Bitcoin traders can continue to buy and sell at their convenience depending on the type of trader they are. But for the investors of the coin, I mean those who will buy and keep it for a reasonable period of time, they may DCA. This is because there is still FUD in the market, and this could cause issues like fear and regrets if such buys the coin with all his money from a high and it starts falling. This means that there can't be perfect advice for you, but with DCA, you will at least not miss out on whatever the market does, and with time, Bitcoin will move higher and everyone will be happy. Nonetheless, the painful part is when you see it hit $35,000 for example but you'd bought it at about $43,000. This is why the DCA approach is the most accurate now.

However, if I must interpret the market better for you, in summary, it might be hovering between a tight bound of about $42,000 and $43,700. Also, holding above $40,243 means that the market will not fall further, but might only be indecisive. It is a breach of the latter level that can cause determined bullish movements that could see it launching further towards the ATH.
1542  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence? on: February 06, 2024, 08:18:17 PM

Cases of domestic violence certainly start from a lack of economic stability in the household and the main cause is not being able to manage the budget well, especially if the husband is addicted to gambling, the family's financial problems are definitely disrupted. Making the wife fed up and the husband unable to accept defeat and committing violence against his wife and a wife who does not accept it will sue her husband for divorce because of domestic violence. No wife wants her husband to experience a gambling addiction or any other type of addiction because what they worry about is that this could happen in their household.

The gambling loss will give more pressure on the gambler and his family.Because the loss will affect the financial stability of the gamblers family,So they suffer with no money for the basic need expenses.Apart from the basic needs,the gamblers should take care of the health expenses of their entire family members.Surely their will be the old people in the gambler family,they will take care by the tablet on daily basis.So the gamblers should take care of the medical expenses in the weekly basics.How the gamblers will manage all this expenses after the loss in the gambling site.So the gambler will show the emotion on their family which leads to the domestic violence.
We are humans and we can control ourselves differently, some can't just hide their feelings and will not be able to restrain themselves, they will let them out in violence or otherwise depending on the situation we are talking about. All still buttress on responsible gambling, we do not just look for trouble unnecessarily simply because we want to gamble, we must be accountable and thoughtful before doing silly things. We must think beyond ourselves, we must think of our spouses and children, even as we think of the responsibilities we have before we are risking foolishly. Because it could only be foolish if we are risking what was meant for other better purposes for gambling thinking that we can outsmart the system.

I mean the system that will always be siding more in the favour of the house, one should not be so naive in this regard, and this alone is an important consideration for us to gamble responsibly so that a ripple effect will not cause unforeseen issues that could lead to domestic violence, if not worse. It gets aggravated if the family is facing financial challenges and I do not even know how it will be right at that time for either of the spouses to make plans and decisions in isolation. This can cause a lot of issues, but if they agree together to make the issue, this is better. But still, it could cause aggression and a shift of blame, which is why I advise that only the money that can be afforded to lose should be committed to gambling. Anything other than this might be an invitation to "anarchy."
1543  Economy / Gambling / Re: Does anyone find the spate of online casinos a bit uninspired? on: February 06, 2024, 07:38:02 PM
First things first, casinos have the right to improve their user interface and the overall functionality of the casino because that is what will attract players to such casinos and at some point one needs to build all the necessary information and awareness of what the casino is and how they operate and for sure we have to put up with alot of research about then to be able to come up with the reality of things and making sure not to be making the wrong choice by selecting them as our preferred choice.
Most of the time, we need to put extra effort into making out facts about the casino and how they treat their clients, and at some point also we need to check what are the maximum payments ever recorded on the casino, all this will help us to know how and where exactly to rank the casino.

We have our choices make, when we discover that a gambling casino is not giving us what we want, we have the right of trying other ones leaving that first one, this is one of the advantage of the online platforms,  not like the physical gambling casinos where you may be left without a choice, if we are ready to make search about the things we want, we cannot forces those casinos against their wishes.
Even in physical casinos, you still have a choice, only that it is not in all cases, not to mention the online casinos that we have a whole lot of them which we can choose from. No wonder they are sitting tighter and being up and doing so that they can attract customers and also make them stay. But still, one must be very careful with the spate of how they are now, there are too many of them which is why I love to stick to my old casinos. As long as they do not deny me the good services needed from them but also fast in the process of my withdrawals, then it is all good for me.

Except that people at times like to have alternatives, and in some cases, the alternative could be up to 2 or 3, which is why many are considering other casinos. They will now be going for the ones with the best bonuses and perks, but this might be a trap in most cases. Even if they leave it over time as you suggested due to a bad experience, what about the time, energy and money they've wasted with them? I don't think that would go down with some people, especially someone like me. That is why I do my best research before I finally choose my casinos and no matter what you are advertising, it is only for hearsay until I certify you are truly worthy of my money.
1544  Economy / Gambling / Re: tell me the best online casino on: February 06, 2024, 07:01:06 PM
~Snip
You have collaborated two different things regarding the best casinos and gambling behavior, we should share tips for the best casinos with various reliable information support references and reputable casinos, every gambler should always update information regarding feedback from reviews that have been shared on gambling boards because of the casino's reputation not permanent depending on the service and fair gambling, so increase vigilance not to keep a lot of funds in the gambling account and I suggest every gambler only leave a balance according to the daily gambling budget.
I think some of the posters above have recommended casinos based on the category OP needs, but it's best to test them yourself. Each of us is not responsible for what is recommended, including referring certain casinos to them, so they should be able to test and carry out their own analysis.

Of course every gambler must know the limitations that need to be considered, including the amount of budget they keep at the casino. Basically a casino is not a depository that will guarantee the budget remains safe forever, so there are risks that they need to consider in any decision regardless of the casino's reputation.
We are never the same person so we can't think the same way or have the same preferences, we can only continue to go for what we like and review it as such. That is more reason I like to carefully read reviews and also make my tests so that it will not be as if someone is influencing me but to have a personal user experience. Many would mostly be tempted by the bonus, they regard that as the best thing that casinos could have for them to follow it, but for me, that is the least consideration, I don't even use it in my sports betting since that one is for serious business. But for casino sections, yes of course, and it is important this way for my betting to be elongated even as I have the fun I need from it.

For this, I think it is all about what the individual users want and their personal rating, it is better that we test whatever is being recommended for us. This is important for us to ascertain the security, budget, plans, best experience, bonus, reputations etc which are often used to secure the best possible casinos.
1545  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casino vs. Stoc,Forex&Crypto Broker: Who's Really Playing You in the Money Game on: February 06, 2024, 06:37:50 PM
You know how casinos lay it all out, they're taking a gamble just like us? But get this, brokers might just be outdoing them in their own sly way. I’m saying brokers might actually be worse. Why? They’ve got this neat, little setup where they rake in their shares through bid-offer spreads and commissions, all while carrying zero market risk.
I believe you got this broker thing all wrong!!

From my experience from using different brokers, if you looking for tight spreads when it comes to executing trades..most likely you will encounter commissions which will be higher as a service for executing a trade or using their  platform, and btw depends on what assets you trade, but it doesn't cost an arm and a leg and if you don't want to miss trades, or not tagged into a trade better pay these small fees!!!

As for gambling, it's usually based on what you see is what you get but unfortunately the risk here is high but at the end of the day pick something that works for you!!!
It is obvious that this guy knows so little or nothing about brokers and it seems you know quite better. I even wonder why he is comparing them together as they are not the same business models, they do not just relate. Only that if you trade, you can lose but this doesn't automatically translate to the fact that you will lose into the pocket of the broker. But when you lose gambling, it is sure that you lose to the pocket of the house, and if you gain as well, you gain from the pocket of the house. I wonder what this guy would say of the prime and ECN brokers and many others, they are always channelling your orders into the raw market pool, they do not influence anything but rely on the Spread, Swap and Commission they charge you when you open the trade.

You will therefore lose to the market and gain from the market without them having the dealing desk arrangement or influencing your decision. I wonder how they will get to be comparable to the way the guy makes it look. It's only the market maker type of broker that does otherwise, but such is not common these days in my experience, and it is just to avoid the issues associated with payments which they might not be able to fulfil in some cases. They therefore prefer to direct the whole risk to the raw market pool.
1546  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Help me understand this apparent contradiction between bitcoin and inflation on: February 06, 2024, 01:51:48 PM
You always hear the pundits saying that the rise of inflation suppresses the price of risk assets such as stocks and bitcoin, as interest rates are pushed up in an attempt to control inflation.

But if bitcoin is a hedge against inflation then shouldn't the bitcoin price rise when inflation goes up instead of going down?
I'm guessing the answer would be that inflation causes bitcoin price to go down in the short term, but in the long term causes it to go up? If so then why?
I appreciate this question and observation, and the answer is not far-fetched at the same time. What I realise is that people overrate Bitcoin, and this is for obvious reasons, the coin has survived well during thick and thin moments over time and it has moved in thousands from where it started. But people forgot that the Bitcoin of 2010 is not the Bitcoin of now, the price is so high now, that there is no way it can effectively hedge inflation as they say. If you buy your Bitcoin today, you might not see it higher than x2 in the next 2 years. But what if inflation is worse than that in your country? The inflation we talk about too depends on the country we are talking about, and like in my country, inflation is "worst" now. To the extent that if there is anything that can be more qualifiable than worst, that is what I would use it for.

Let me give you a clue. In the last 3 years, the price of commodities has grown between 5-8 times what they used to be due to inflation. Can Bitcoin help me to stabilise it even if I bought the coin 3 years ago? That is not possible. If the inflation is more bitting than how the value of Bitcoin appreciates, it will not be able to hedge anything, though it may try, but it could be futile. This can be worse if it is the bearish season of Bitcoin. You could imagine those who bought Bitcoin when it was at $60,000 in the view that it is a hedge against inflation. By now, it would have been worse for them because, the inflation in their country would be bitting, while again, the Bitcoin they invested in which was supposed to be the hedge against the inflation is still losing their money. What a double punishment!

This means that what people mostly say about Bitcoin is not true, they are only overemphasing on the general saying. This is practical.
1547  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the next step for Solana? on: February 06, 2024, 01:33:18 PM
You know in every project there's something that causes a setback. Just like ETH. Its setback is the high fee rate but that of Solana is always blockchain or something similar. I know most of us have come across the latest news about blockchain being down for over 2 hours or there. My question is, do you think Sol is ready for the next phase with the same issue it faces over again? How can they tackle this because more projects seem to be interested in them but with this ongoing issue of theirs, how often can they keep up?

You know, is not about loving a project but it's also about how long they withstand some circumstances that won't affect their chain.
You have good considerations here, we should always know the pros and cons of the coins/tokens we use, and especially the blockchains they are linked with. Solana, as it is, has done better recently, no wonder that its price moved significantly higher in the recent bull run witnessed across the crypto boards. The trust of people in it has increased, and the fact that it has a better advantage (especially in the areas of fee) than the first two cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin and Ethereum) makes it worthwhile to celebrate it and focus our beam better on it.

It's no news that Solana has a very low fee, and even in addition to that, it has a faster transaction fee. And with the way it's being appreciated across the crypto space, it can solve all the problems that both Bitcoin and Ethereum cannot solve. The scalability is now higher and unique at the same time. But for the cons, I do not see a strong one that is peculiar to it and I do not think it will be a regret to have your SOL stored for a good period of time in order to maximize the potential of earning through it possible. It is also a very good choice for transactions to reduce fees and increase the pace of completion.

This unique feature ensures that you can place your bets without worrying about losing your hard-earned cash. Don't miss out on this opportunity – check out our website today, where you'll find this innovative casino listed as the first entry.

Thank you

https://www.bitcoinsguide.org/betting

there is no gambling without capital. there will still be something to bet on in gambling. Even though we can get it from the faucet on a casino account, but does that provide satisfaction? How much can you earn from the faucet and how much can you bet?
gamblers bet on real games, real money, real wins and losses. all felt by gamblers. because they don't play on a demo account.
I didn't bother to go deeper on my first visit to the website but I think I will do that again since the OP replied after I criticised it. He insisted on the faucet which I will give the benefit of the doubt. But still, no faucets are worth using unless the person is only doing it for fun, not for the priority because the website operating the faucet will also want to gain something about it which in most causes traffic/recognition. It is just a way to encourage people to visit more in order to get what they are selling whether directly or indirectly to be noticed.

And as you said, it is all about the money, no gambling without money, that is the basis of it, but on the other way round, if it could be true that the faucet is working and encouraging, which I do not believe it will be, then it would still yield the money that can be used for the gambling purposes. I only hope that the wagering limit is supportive too. I know that we should expect a small amount in this regard, which will eventually discourage us.

But if the platform is good and one is used to it already, I know that to continue betting will be appealing. You can later deposit your own money which is what I believe is the motive of all these. This is still a gimmick, but a well-planned one.
1549  Economy / Gambling / Re: How to self exclude from anonymous gambling sites on: February 06, 2024, 01:02:02 PM
I can`t agree that gambling addiction is a physiological thing. It is only in the head. He need to understand that gambling gives nothing positive to him first of all. I can suppose that later he can even gamble without any problems with addiction.
I was smoking for 20 years and stopped it about 15 years ago. Today i can to smoke with my friends during the party but it is about 1-2 times a year. The problem was only in the head.
But the question or main difference on here is that not all people would be having on the same mind when it comes on dealing up with things on which there are ones who do
have that good self control and there are ones who do really have that main problem on trying out to get rid of it., Its true that it is really that on our heads but there are
ones who do just simply tolerate it out and dont bother about the risks involved into it and they would rather just continue on the things that they are doing.
Its true that self exclusions doesnt mean a shit because you would really be just playing again once you do have the opportunity on doing so.
I think that there is no only decision how to stop and how to help. I always say that there are no even two same situations and the way that was correct for one situation can`t help in the another.
But anyway i`m sure that the first thing we have to see is that the addict decided to stop gambling. It must be only his decision, not because someone`s asked him.
Situations could be the same at times, but they could be different at times too, which is why it has to be differently viewed and investigated before the proffered solutions can be accurate. As good as that is, I like to say that whether you are not the one who noticed the issue or even the one willing to change, it is possible that you still change due to the advice and influence of others. We see cases like that very often, only that it is better and faster if it is the person affected such that is willing to change by himself. The Willpower is there in this case, and when the Willpower is there, the process is fast because the person would have passed through the stages of admittance and will be ready to give it a fight even without any external help or interference. This is not the case for the person who doesn't even know that something is wrong with him, while others would know but will not just care about it. That's why I said initially that cases are different, and for this, we treat them differently. Even what the guys said is cool enough, it could still work for some set of gamblers. But working for all gamblers is the issue.
1550  Economy / Speculation / Re: Who is buying like me on: February 06, 2024, 12:37:12 PM
Bitcoin Etf approval brought joy to our faces, yes another win for bitcoin, then how much more would the next halving bring,  right now all I'm doing Is buying, I was DCAING gently before, but right now no one hold me, no more gentle buys, cause right now I'm pumped, I'm dancing for the bull run, I wasn't part of the last halving cause just recently started my bitcoin journey and I can't wait to brag about beign one of the next bull run partakers. Start buying 🦾
I can see the joy in you, friend, that is good but be careful and ensure that you are more vigilant than being excited. And by what you have described as what you did about your investment in the coin, I can say that you might have been wise to DCA judging by the time you wrote this topic. If not, you would have regretted buying at a higher price which Bitcoin has moved lower from and we do not certainly know the fate of it in the next months. Regardless, DCAing means that you must have been buying it at some random levels that can't be an issue again, especially if you bought at around $40,000 before it made some significant rebounds, then you are doing well, bro.

Besides, Bitcoin is an asset that we can trust over a long period of time, it has its bullish seasons, which is why everyone is so confident of it that if it falls at times, it will rise back. You can also hold on to that as it has never failed. This is especially true as you bought the coin at this time when FOMO is trying to return back to the market due to halving. It will certainly move higher, it is only a matter of time. Bitcoin is so good to the point that if you are conversant with it, you can buy at any time and will still be assured that you make your money. But the smartness there is that we should not be blind buyers or followers of the coin, but should be wise and use analytical means to guide ourselves effectively.
1551  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The best decision you can take on: February 06, 2024, 11:14:17 AM
That will be a good decision if you are new to trading or basically a newbie. But a skilled trader is the one who analyses all the possibilities and trade in whatever the condition of the market is. Yes as you trade more, you will gain more experience and hence you will be more confident. For this reason, I always advise people to trade with demo account in order to get acquainted with the market conditions. Once you feel confident and learn various strategies on various situations, trade in the real market and make profit.
Trading is only good if we are good at it, and could be so frustrating if we are not good at it. What makes the difference is how we are inclined to it. Some will not know about trading at all or much but would want to make the best out of it which I see as not possible. That is why te first thing to do by any newbie in trading or the traders facing challenges is to learn, and this takes time. It requires much training and persistence of the trader, and this could even take years. And just like you said, good demo training is very important, this is not always available in crypto exchanges for bad reasons, but still, we should find a way to use it as it is the best in making sure that we learn any strategy possible, build our trading system and plans, and afterwards move to a live trading account.

Even if you are having issues later, you might still abandon the live account and move back to the demo to train better. Or at times when you want to just practice a new strategy, you can use the demo as it is virtual and you will lose nothing training with it. But one must be sure to train their psychology in trading too, this is what the demo account is lacking to teach you as it is such that is technically risk-free, which is why we should find a way to be serious with it and also train in that regard. And if the experience is fully gained, no one will tell you, you will know through your trading handling, but if you are still lacking, just move straight back to the training as this is important before more money is lost easily.
1552  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How can we understand market going to be Bear? on: February 06, 2024, 10:39:09 AM
We know better cryptocurrency market always unpredictable. Yet we invest in the cryptocurrency market. Sometimes the market gradually turns to bear.
My question is how do we know if the market will go bearish.
First, I disagree with you, the market is highly predictable, and it all depends on your expertise and experience about it. Needless to say, some have a high record of good accuracy in this regard. But what is true is that the market is highly uncertain, and because you know how to predict it well doesn't mean that you will not lose a particular prediction (be it current or later). This is why one should always have an understanding of it before they dare to use their prediction to trade/invest, or else, they will fail woefully. However, the market can be bullish or bearish, it all depends on the prevailing conditions as many economic and technical factors could cause it to make a decision, which is why you have to learn how to follow and read the market with both the economic data and happenings around it and with technical analysis.

Still, I prefer you to major in technical analysis, and if you could learn it well and know it better, there is nothing happening in the market that will be missed by your analytical radar.
1553  Economy / Speculation / Re: Has anybody expected this? on: February 06, 2024, 10:27:39 AM
I also believe December could being us to $40k. One of the reason why, is that people tend to have money during Christmas season. I mean most of us receives bonuses from our companies, so this extra money everyone will have might get a portion for bitcoin accumulation.
We're currently sitting at $38,700+, very close to 40k and we are only at the beginning of the month. If it cross 40k in the next couple of weeks, there will be a good chance it would close out around 43-45k before we enter 2024.

There's still hope if it's getting to $40k and that could happen this week and from the looks of things I feel we might achieve that. If care is not taken the market price could start moving very fast to get to $45k before the next 5 days, who knows, Bitcoin price could follow up the way November did or a little bit better and we might be landing on $50k before getting to the 3rd week.


because the market has been rising for quite a long time, I think we will see a correction first, after that we will see whether the market provides positive conditions for it or not.
You are right, let me say that there is no market that will be moving in a straight slope forever, that can't just be possible, not with Bitcoin or any other best assets. The market has its principles and characteristics of moving up and down and even if it is a bullish market, for instance, it will still find its way to branch downwards once in a while towards the lower prices before going back to the main trend. This is what makes trading better and unique, and if not, it will be so easy to predict the market and nothing will be dynamic in it. At this time, Bitcoin had done the needed correction, though not so satisfactory for many but moving down from $49,000 to about $40,000 is adequate enough in my opinion.

This is almost a $10,000 movement, and this happened within 2 weeks which is why I know that Bitcoin can be rising any moment from now. I expected the correction made but I knew it couldn't hit the $35,000 not to talk of breaching it lower. That was what it actually did, and will preserve over time. However it does not have much power to move higher anymore, and the reason is because of the resistance it met at $43,606. This level is too strong for it and I know that it can only continue the bullish movement after breaching it. However, if it is successful in this quest, it might hit $50,000 speedily, or even breach it to record a new high for the year.
1554  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I don’t think bitcoin is now decentralized on: February 06, 2024, 10:06:52 AM
BTC is still decentralized in my opinion
You have the same view as mine, Bitcoin is decentralised and what the OP is trying to explain is a different issue entirely. Bitcoin is and remains the most decentralised cryptocurrency in the world and has been able to preserve it for years. That is why people and developers are always careful of scaling it better like what other altcoins are doing for better purposes and functions. They believe that leaving it as it is in most cases is the best answer to preserve its decentralization nature which is one of the core goals of Satoshi in creating the coin.

If they could be determined this much despite all the flaws noticed and what altcoins are enjoying with their upgrades, I think it's rather worth celebrating and not ridiculed.
1555  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin be trusted? on: February 06, 2024, 09:45:54 AM
A friend of mine came to me and we were having a conversation and I was trying to introduce he to the forum,but he turns out that I was asked if I really trust and believe in bitcoin it will never crash like other cypto industry.

I want know if it will not crash and I need help to convince him about it that it will not crash because am a beginner and I haven't know much about bitcoin so I guess been here I will fine help to assist my friend to join the forum.
If you cannot depend bitcoin then how can you lure people inside it? you have been here in the forum for quite a long now yet know nothing about bitcoin? sounds not legit mate because I believe that engaging in this forum will at least give you enough understanding about what and how good bitcoin is.
Luring people to Bitcoin? That is just unnecessary, Bitcoin is not a must asset you should invest in, it is just a matter of choice. But if it is to convince people you wanted to say, that is good and very necessary in case you do not want the person to miss out. But still, it is the choice of the person in this regard and even as Bitcoin speaks for itself, but the people who thought contrarily to invest in it will lose. This is unless they invest in altcoins and other investments which serve as an alternative to it. Nonetheless, I share in your view that the guy is not new, and what I see in his activity is more than enough to learn and know everything needed about the coin and not pretend this way.

By the way, on second thought, we have different reasons to join the forum and embrace Bitcoin, so he might not be paying attention to the seriousness of this forum and the Bitcoin that brought it close to us for some reason. For this, he might not be convinced really about Bitcoin, and I do not think that it can be so hurt to ask for genuity's sake.
1556  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Time to be cautious: Everyone is not market expert on: February 06, 2024, 09:24:07 AM
The phrase 'Everyone is not an expert' holds true, especially in the crypto space, where predicting movements is at another level of complexity. Our best approach is to conduct thorough research, empowering us to take responsibility for our decisions. This way, we avoid blaming others for failures and save time, money, and effort. Entering the crypto space requires preparation for encounters with scammers, manipulators, and other malicious individuals seeking to exploit or drain your funds. Stay vigilant, as the crypto space demands a keen eye for potential threats and a commitment to protecting yourself from the ever-present risks.



Sure, no one is an expert or an island of knowledge, beside the market is all about predictions, even experienced crypto holders/trading tends to get the timing wrong and personally, I believe no news hype is better than your own research about a project. Because, after your research that is when the news hype becomes clear to you. Mark these words, there is no  crypto expert who makes prediction that haven't made wrong predictions before. Sometimes we just put in too much trust on things that are not reliable, even close to 50% accuracy just because of the enticing words used by the predictor.
I think you are mixing these points here, my friend, and I must tell you that I share in most of your views but for some. Let me take it one after the other and be so summarily as possible.

It is true that no one knows it all, but when it comes to predictions, there are still better predictors, and you might be surprised that some would have as much as 95% prediction accuracy. That is too high, right? But that is the truth, you hardly see some market forecasters wrong and even if they are wrong at times, they have the managerial plans ready to cover up for the shortcomings. Now tell me, if you are opportune to be a friend of such a person or he is your tutor/mentor, won't you be happy and learn from him?

The only set of people I can't deal with are those who are just making noise despite being empty in knowledge. Such are many on the internet, and such are the ones I will always advise people to be wary of. But this shouldn't stop us from being open if we are lucky to meet some random individual gurus. They are such that will not even be making mouths with what they know, but indeed, they are so good in trading and investments, but without giving them the opportunity to prove themselves, you will never know. That is why I do not always totally buy the idea that we should be on our own when it comes to trading and investment, we may never know the best ways, and that's the truth. But when we are open but have the mind to refine what we hear and see, it might go a long way to help us. For this, you are so insincere to limit predictive accuracy to 50%, you might be a frustrated predictor but some know it better and will be surprised about your position here, just as I am.

If you just go for cheap project then you might not get good one because project value is not determined by project price, project value is determined by what the project works on, their future plans, whether they list them on good exchange.
The best coins/tokens with the best potential to move higher are the new ones. We can see a similar situation in the last mini-bull run, once they are not dead, they can still surprise everyone even after a while of being neglected. Except that the person should be careful in researching and sorting for them to avoid mistakes. Also, a lot of criteria are involved in here, and this includes the luck of the person as well because some just bought some coins/tokens even out of fear and doubts, but they moved over x100 in a few weeks after buying them.

These cryptos are mostly not popular but would get to the limelight after the movement that gives them relevance. While some will not be popular all the same because they could move so significantly up and later drop in the same manner. So it is all about luck in most cases and not the expertise or know-how that many people will be preaching.

But still, it is fine that we are patient in sorting for the coins/tokens we want to invest our money in, we should learn the project, the community base and the blockchain used for the same among others.

Hello, Everyone

I'll keep this short.

What does BTC mean to you?

Some may say freedom others  say hope in a world of restriction, love to hear your responses.
Bitcoin, no doubt has brought joy and happiness to the financial institution and payment industry. It reduced the excessiveness and oversight of the government and put almost an end to the disparities that we often experience with countries in terms of payments and transfers where some countries like the US will have all the opportunities of financial transactions while many others will be disenfranchised in this. We are all one before Bitcoin and that singular fact can't just be substituted for anything.

However, the following few points are the reasons why Bitcoin is important to me.

1. It is decentralised.
2. It brought a better means for ordinary people to earn easily and in big ways.
3. It gives you the opportunity to be your asset manager all by yourself.
4. It puts an end to the segregation in the payment industry (across the border).
5. Low and faster means of sending money across borders in comparison to the old known ways like Wire transfer, Wester Union, Money Gram, and the like.

More are to be done though.

2. diaper rash - parents wouldn't mind if their kid's diapers are already full during an economic crisis and are not neglectful when it comes to the diaper turning yellow during an economic upturn.
I must say that you have good points there, many strange things might be happening during time of economic woes. But at times, it is not strange per se, only that they are managing their lives within their means so that they will not be more burdened with financial difficulties. Also, I agree with most of what you wrote in this regard, but for a few, and one of those I do not agree with, though countries vary, is the number 2 as quoted above. I only see this as the irresponsibility of parents if their children's diapers could not be changed as and when due, that is not speaking well of such parents that would do that.

I can't imagine the diaper of my child giving him rashes due to my negligence or the uncared attitude due to economic issues, it shouldn't get to that unless the parents are just bad. They can change the diaper and let the child walk freely at home. Even with another cloth, if the child messes up with it, it is their duty to change it again. After all, it is not a big deal to wash the child's clothes over and over again unless they are just lazy. Rash is not good for little children, and some could be painfully itching, it is certainly inhumane to let that happen to a child due to economic issues. If you can't afford the quality ones or you can't have many of them, then you do it the old way, after all, that might be the way the parents of the child's parent brought them up.
1560  Economy / Exchanges / Re: All my savings on BKEX are gone. on: February 05, 2024, 12:25:51 PM
Hello everyone, since May 29th, 2023 I have not been able to access my account in BKEX Exchange because the exchange has blocked all trading for all customers. To date there is no information or update about what is happening with our money and whether we will get it back one day or not. I think we would be cheated. There are supposedly companies on Twitter that can restore the coins and transfer them back to the responsible victims. My wife is it possible and can these people be trusted? Has anyone ever heard of this company TECHGUARDFORT SERVICES (Twitter: @Techguardfort3)?
I feel sorry for you reading this, but at the same time, I guess you put this upon yourself. Aside from the fact that it is not so good to trust any centralised arrangement, which includes exchanges, it is even worse to deal with an exchange that is not really recognised. I wouldn't want to exonerate you on whether you are new to the system or not, you should have asked questions before now or even done the necessary research by yourself to know the best-rated ones or the top 5 ones which you can choose from. This will still not totally save anyone from cheating but will limit the possibility to the bearest minimum.

Sorry about that, but next time, if you want to keep your crypto assets, use non-custodial wallets. You can search for it if you are not familiar with it.

Regarding your question, I warn you not to make the matter worse, for this, I advise you not to trust any service recovering money, they are liars. I do not think such exists truly unless you contact a lawyer directly who can contact them in case you have big money there and you really want to take the matter up. But in the absence of this, it should be another fraud. The internet is so porous and susceptible to anything these days. Don't do it unless they will recover it for free and you pay them later. Be wise!
