I am not discouraging you to hold long term in hotbit, but be very careful investing in exchanges.
My confidence in terms of earning interest via savings is on binance only, even if they have relatively low APR.
Remember, once the exchange is attacked or something, would be hard to get your money back.
But with binance, if anything happens, they have insurance called SAFU to protect their customers.
I visited their socials, and it doesn't look professionally managed, in my opinion. I don't trust most exchanges. Some of them are just used by projects to list their coins to gain attention and a positive reputation, they pay them a considerable amount of funds as payment. It's also alarming how many exchanges were hacked, or they use it as an excuse to hide the fact that they run away with the money.

Do not be careless in choosing exchanges, because only exchanges that are popular and have a good reputation are the exchanges that
we should use. The problem is that many exchanges end up being scams, so don't let us lose money because we choose the wrong exchanges
for investment. Moreover, there are many incidents where exchanges are hacked and the exchanges fail to return investors money. I highly
recommend Binance as  the best exchange, besides having good security, Binance has always maintained its reputation. So far I've never had
any serious problems using Binance.

In the new match week, we are going to start with the Dortmund vs Hoffenheim game.

Dortmund had a really good start against Frankfurt with a 5-2 score. But they surprised everyone by losing to Freiburg 2-1. Haaland can't save the team all the time. They should make a much bigger effort as a team. Otherwise, they won't be able to fight for the title again. When it comes to Hoffenheim, they had a little better start. They demolished Augsburg 4-0 and drew with Union Berlin 2-2. When it comes to the head-to-heads, Dortmund couldn't beat them home for 3 games. This means Hoffenheim have a psychological advantage. But still, I believe in Dortmund to win this game as long as they have a good teamplay.

I am quite disappointed with Dortmund's defeat against Freiburg, this shows Dortmund have not played consistently. And if Dortmund fail to win
the next game against Hoffenheim, it is increasingly doubtful that Dortmund can become Bayern's competitors to get the Bundesliga trophy.
Moreover, as you said Dortmund several times failed to win when dealing with Hoffenheim when playing at home, this proves Hoffenheim is not
a team that can be defeated easily. But in terms of quality Dortmund players are much better than Hoffenheim, Dortmund should be able to
beat Hoffenheim.

Everyone who trades crypto must be stressed, so am I. Crypto prices are volatile and difficult to predict always stress me out, but I have my own
way of dealing with the stress I experience. Usually I stop trading for a few days and do what I like. Like watching movies or playing gambling,
the way I do it can make me come back refreshed and ready to trade again.
1544  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum Price Prediction – Will ETH Hit $5,000 Soon? on: August 24, 2021, 11:49:21 PM
I'm willing to wait for 3 or more years to see those prices for Ethereum. The current price is high but I'm all set with another price and aim higher.

It isn't greed that's in me and I understand that I'm already in profit but I'm willing to go more and wait some more time to see what's with Ethereum and how high it can bring itself for the next years.
Even i do not mind waiting for the next few years to see the price of Ethereum cross over $5000, it all depends upon how the recent upgrade and the sensitive changes in the algorithm will solve any existing issues including higher transaction charges and it all depends upon the hype the shift of POS has garnered even though i felt like a move to attract the environmentalist and not necessarily having solutions to sort the issue in POW.
$5k level is actually achievable for eth in short period of time. I don't think we will wait for another 3 years or so just to see this price level. If we will see the impact of this London hard fork and finally see cheaper fees in eth network, maybe, we will see the price of eth rising at a very good rate. As of this moment, the fees are quite expensive according to eth gas tracker - https://etherscan.io/gastracker.

I am also optimistic like you that the target price of $5k can be achieved in the near future, there is no need to wait until the next few years.
Since Ethereum is currently above $3k price, which if the current bullish trend could continue until the end of the year, It is very likely that Ethereum
will go up to $5k by the end of this year. Moreover,  the london hard fork effect did help trigger the price of Ethereum to rise, then related to
Ethereum gas fees have decreased significantly compared to a few months ago. This means that Ethereum will slowly regain investors trust,
and this is a good thing that can trigger the price of Ethereum to rise even higher.
1545  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto vs Fiat on: August 24, 2021, 11:27:36 PM
I make a strong differentiaton between crypto and fiat money. While my monthly income comes from fiat and all my expenses are being paid in fiat, I don't want to hold any excess fist money. The interest rate is 0 and isn't likely to change any time soon. All my excess fiat money I either buy stocks with or convert into crypto currencies. All my savings I am doing now with cryptos.
There's no interest holding it on your own and if you'll put that in the bank, it is the banks that will earn from it and they'll give you a share.

Yeah, a little share from your own money that has been deposited on them and used for loaning their customers. That's why if you have extra cash and you want to grow it, invest in on crypto and if possible, don't go far but buy bitcoin.

Your explanation is correct, our money in the bank will be used by banks to provide loans to their customers. And the bank will impose interest that
must be paid by the borrower of the money, a small portion of the interest earned will be given to us as investors. And that's a very small
percentage compared to what we would get from investing in crypto. Although investing in crypto is risky, but if we have good knowledge and
analytical skills, it is not too difficult to make a profit from crypto. Especially investing in Bitcoin, has been proven in 12 years is very profitable.
A very significant increase in the price of Bitcoin, can provide a very large profit if we can be patient holding Bitcoin in the long term.
1546  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If bitcoin go high the poor will not participate on: August 24, 2021, 10:54:09 PM
I am thinking that if the bitcoin continue to go up to $100,000 and above.  it will be expensive for the poor people to invest. It will be for only rich people. It will be better for bitcoin will not go so much high so that it will be affordable to everybody to invest and have profit.

I will like to read and learn for everyone here.
this in my opinion is not true if you are poor you can still buy according to the poverty rate. For example: you have 10$ you can still buy less than the rich but I think anyone, even if BTC rises to 100k$ or more, anyone can buy it, just a little or a lot.

No matter how high the price of Bitcoin is, it doesn't matter, because poor people can still buy Bitcoin according to their financial capabilities. Because
we don't have to buy 1 BTC to invest in Bitcoin, we can even buy Bitcoin for $10. So the more expensive the price of Bitcoin, don't make Bitcoin just for
the rich. This is what makes Bitcoin more attractive than other assets, like investing in real estate it's only for the rich. Because we can't buy land or
houses with $10, but investing in Bitcoin is for everyone.
1547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sexy casinos on: August 24, 2021, 10:33:26 PM

I also think the casinos provide some sexy women just as an attraction, there is no prostitution service in the casino. So don't think negatively with
casinos employing some sexy women, it doesn't mean there is a prostitution business. I believe the government will also not allow that to happen,
there are laws that prohibit prostitution in casinos. Because the main purpose of the casino is to play gambling, not for anything else.
There're no prostitutions but the possibilities that those girls will be attracted to some indecent proposals coming from those rich gamblers that's still possible to happen, right?

We can say that there are rules that these casinos need to regulate things that the government requires them to follow.

But, if the people that involve are okay dealing in a private conversation, that's something that may happen when both
parties agree with their own terms and conditions.

What you say can happen, especially if there are rich people who often offer some money to have sex. But it happens definitely outside the casinos
and has nothing to do with casinos, because if it did it would be a private deal between a rich gambler and a women. Things like that will not make
the casino violate the rules imposed by the government, because it is no longer the authority of the casino. But there are definitely some casinos
that do it clandestinely, done in a special room and for certain people. It's the government's job to closely monitor casinos, so that they always follow
all the rules that have been set.

I like to buy things easily...but I'm hesitant because of the possibility that items you purchase have issues on Durability and Value for Money.. What can you say about Online Shopping?

Online shopping is a really important platform. but it has some handicaps. It is very open to fake products and fraud.
It's happened to me 3 times from the same site. Fake and damaged product arrived. There are no returns on electronic items. I think the tactic of picking by seeing and touching is still in trend.

Nowadays online shopping is getting more and more popular because of the current pandemic situation,  people are becoming more comfortable
buying everything from home. But in addition to the positive side, online shopping also has a negative side, like what has happened to you.
Because there are some online sellers who are dishonest, by providing goods that are different from what they display in online stores. Some even
give fake or damaged products, this is very detrimental to buyers who have spent money and hope to get good stuff. So we really have to be careful
when shopping online, we also need to pay attention to reviews from online stores, look for ones that have a good reputation.
1549  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Undervalued Coins on: August 24, 2021, 09:17:00 PM
I want to invest in altcoins, but on undervalued coins, what do you think if I buy XLM, Will it go hight when the market is bullish now? Can XLM rise to $2 by the end of this mont?
XLM is undervalued right now and so is NEAR protocol.
totally agree with you. Now the market is overflowing with shit coins, and real projects that offer fundamental technologies generally remain unnoticed until the moment of their "victory". I mean, many scalpers do not know how to think ahead and learn about gem projects after the fact, so it is definitely worth taking a closer look at Near Protocol.

The many shitcoins circulating make new investors choose the wrong projects for investment, eventually making real projects also be adversely
affected. Some real projects are forgotten, and even undervalued. It is important to have good research and analysis skills in selecting projects
for investment, in order to be able to distinguish which projects are worth buying and which projects should be avoided. XLM is one of the projects
that is undervalued in my opinion, even though if we enter at the right time, it can generate good profits from XLM. Then related to Near Protocol,
I tried to analyze briefly, as the projects are quite promising.
1550  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How many consecutive looses can you handle in trading? on: August 24, 2021, 08:35:47 PM
-snip- So, if you want to be successful in trading, analyze everything first and make sure you have proper knowledge about it and you do a lot of research before entering this kind of platform.
analysis is very important. use technical analysis and also Fundamentals must be considered. Technical Analysis and Fundamental both have a relationship about crypto prices that will move.
not just analysis, capital management and initial strategy must also be determined. do not trade without knowing the direction and without a goal. All should really be considered. consecutive losses because they do not care about the aspects that must be done before starting and when the trade is made.

Consecutive losses will not occur if we do careful planning before trading. Most people think trading is too easy, they think it's just buying coins
at low prices and selling them when prices go up. Even though trading is very complicated, there are many factors that we must prepare for.
So as not to make the wrong decision and make us suffer losses. As you have explained many things that must be prepared before deciding
to trade, we must have good analytical skills, and can also use well-planned strategies. So don't trade without any preparation, it will only
waste our money.
1551  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Accepting bitcoin as payment for my business on: August 24, 2021, 08:07:16 PM
That's a great way of introducing it to them; needs such as clothing items are something normal citizens would buy consistently.
Since buying bitcoin has fees, giving a discount is reasonable to counterbalance with a transaction fee.
Even though it's a challenge for you, Including crypto as a payment method is enough to spark interest and curiosity in your customers.


I always support if there are people who use Bitcoin in their business, because the purpose of Bitcoin was created as an alternative payment.
So accepting Bitcoin payments at our online store is a good thing, besides being able to help introduce Bitcoin to many people. Accepting Bitcoin
payments will make our store traffic more crowded, because it will trigger the curiosity of customers who come. The problem is not many people
can do this related to the rules imposed by their respective countries, because not all countries allow using Bitcoin as payment. So very lucky
for people who live in countries that allow using Bitcoin as payment.
1552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sexy casinos on: August 24, 2021, 01:13:08 PM
Exactly, these are two combinations that are very attractive to males and some females too.
But it's necessary to think that casinos are also frequented by women and this technique can alienate this public.
In any case, I believe that the female sex appeal in a casino is much more intended to distract players than to be an "extra feature" intended to attract them.
I do think too that it's more for the appeal rather than an extra service, as far as I know, casinos can't offer prostitution since there's a statute or a law that prevents them from doing so, unless they call it an escort service then it's probably a different story.

I also think the casinos provide some sexy women just as an attraction, there is no prostitution service in the casino. So don't think negatively with
casinos employing some sexy women, it doesn't mean there is a prostitution business. I believe the government will also not allow that to happen,
there are laws that prohibit prostitution in casinos. Because the main purpose of the casino is to play gambling, not for anything else.

Exercise is good for the body, it contributes good movement of blood in the body. It also makes muscles and bone flexible when ageing

There are so many benefits of exercise for our bodies, some of the benefits of exercise you have mentioned, but what I feel the most is that I feel
lighter when moving and also I sleep more soundly. That's why I always insist on exercising every morning, even if it's only for a short time,
but it's not enough to exercise so that we are healthy. We also need to regulate our diet, because eating healthy foods regularly can make our

1554  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BNB price on: August 23, 2021, 11:43:58 PM
Indeed, the popularity of BNB has increased since the price of BNB reached the ATH price 3 months ago, unfortunately the Bitcoin price has been
corrected. Making the price of BNB also affected, and finally the price of BNB fell. But now BNB price is recovering, soon BNB will return to ATH
price again. If it is achieved, it will make the demand for BNB will continue to increase, so the target price of $ 1000 can be achieved this year.
So what we need to do now is hold the BNB that we have patiently, and we can buy more BNB if we have extra money. Because BNB,
like ETH, is great for long-term investments. Moreover, BNB is known to have a solid development team.
besides that bnb has real products that are needed by many new projects today, moreover bnb has a trusted exchange, which is recognized by everyone, so that its products are certainly used and needed by many people. therefore it is not surprising that investors trust it for long-term investments, and I personally trust binance when the exchange is hacked, and they are fully responsible

This is all because of Changpeng Zhao's long experience in the crypto world,  so he was able to create a BNB and Binance exchange according
to many people's expectations. Therefore, the popularity of BNB continues to increase and is starting to be trusted by many investors,
which is what has finally made BNB able to rise so far. I am very optimistic that the future of BNB will be bright, so I never hesitate to invest
long term in BNB, because I believe BNB can provide big profits in the future.
1555  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin @ $50k on: August 23, 2021, 11:02:52 PM
Bitcoin back above $50K once again. I would have stuck with BTC, but i only regret that it's a little bit. It's king and all eyes were on $50K. Indeed, this is just the beginning of a huge breakout. Let's hope it keeps pumping and pumping. Better to fill your bags and lets hit the moon together. Let's stop $64K

And back down again... It is not really the powerful push yet that we are looking for. Maybe the news about institutional investors signing up for ETFs or something that I read might help. But it is still not the real momentum that it sometimes has and it also doesn't feel like that.

I think that the way bak to the former all time high will be a bit more cumbersome. Everybody is cautious and doesn't really know, huge news are also not available.

It seems that the Bitcoin price push is not strong enough to rise above the $50k price, because the Bitcoin price corrected back to the $49k price.
But because the price drop is not too far away, it looks like in the near future the price of Bitcoin will go back above the $50k price. To go up to
the previous ATH price is still difficult to be sure, because indeed to be able to return to that price, a large amount of good news is needed. Which is
able to convince many investors, especially big companies to invest in Bitcoin. For now we only need to monitor Bitcoin price developments,
so we can predict where Bitcoin will move. But if we are patient in Bitcoin investment, everything should be fine.
1556  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Currency is not the same price, you can buy low and sell high profit? on: August 23, 2021, 10:35:55 PM
Recently, the price of Bitcoin has fluctuated sharply, and arbitrage windows have appeared on many exchanges. The price of Bitcoin on Binance is US$47,000, while on some exchanges in South Korea, the price of Bitcoin is US$51,000. If you buy in Binance and then sell in South Korea, you can make a profit of $4,000. I am considering doing this. I want to hear your opinion. Huh
This ironical and the difference in price usually balance within minutes, and I don't think Binance could stand that low to allow such thing to happen to them when they know that they are the best. Even though it's not on Binance it's happening, please don't waste your time cause this might be a trick especially to those exchanges that has no worth and does not k ow there right from there left. This might be a means to stock investors who are greedy into there shity exchange entrapping funds inside there exchange.

It's true that each exchange usually has a different Bitcoin price, but doing arbitrage trading is not an easy thing to do. We have to take into account
many factors when we are going to do arbitrage, starting from the withdrawal fee and also the estimated time needed. Because usually the price
difference between one exchange and another exchanges moves very quickly, don't let our Bitcoin price drop to no different from the previous exchanges.
Moreover, we move our Bitcoin to exchanges that do not have a good reputation, it will be very risky. I do not recommend making a profit through
arbitrage trading, because the risk that will be faced is too big.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/08/22/harry-kane-makes-cameo-tottenhams-narrow-win-against-wolves/

Tottenham are planning to offer £40m for Wolves right winger Adama Traore. The 25-year-old player is really special I think. He is very quick first of all. And his physique is also very good. Other players have a really tough time while defending him. But he is not very capable of finishing. He gets many chances to score but wastes nearly all of them. Maybe he can be better if he goes to Tottenham.

Adama Traore does have the advantage of speed in dribbling, but unfortunately his finishing is very bad, need a lot of chances to score goals.
Tottenham are planning to buy Adama Traore, apparently the desire of Nuno Espirito Santo, who was previously coach of Wolves, So Nuno Espirito
Santo already knows the strengths that Adama Traore has that can be used to perfect his strategy at Tottenham. Hopefully the purchase of
Adama Traore can be realized soon and can make Tottenham's game more attractive, so far Nuno Espirito Santo has managed to make Tottenham
win 2 matches in a row in the Premier League.

Forgiveness is a powerful tool. If you allow anger and other negative feelings to crowd out positive feelings, you might find yourself swallowed up by your own bitterness or sense of injustice. But if you can forgive her, you might both learn from the situation and strengthen your relationship.
Forgiveness can help us to feel better. But when we anger, that will not be easy as our emotions become higher and many of us hard to control the emotion. Maybe we need to calm down and think more to see what is behind that thing that we got so we can analyze what is wrong and right. After that, if other people do something wrong to us, we can forgive them and try to forget because we do not want that thing to be beside us for some time.

Everyone must have been angry, but we must be able to control our anger, because it can have a bad effect on our mentality. One of the teachings of
my religion is forgiveness can make us a good person. People who dare to apologize first are brave in my opinion, because giving forgiveness to
others is very difficult to do that. Forgiving each other has been proven to reduce the emotions of both parties who are in dispute, many things
can make us angry. Therefore it is necessary to practice our patience and also make forgiveness as a habit. If we can do this, we will get used to
controlling our anger.
1559  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is EOS dead? on: August 23, 2021, 11:30:03 AM
EOS could have been the ETH killer, assuming they maintained the same spead and ambition which they started with, their dream could have been achieved long time ago. But they allowed the launch of Bsc ( Binance Smart Chain) to silent their own blockchain which I believe has been the reason why the coin has been on this state which it is, no much going forward because their is no new update and potential to back it up and bring in more serious investors, which will trigger marketing management and strategy.
As this new BSC platform gaining strong momentum, investors are leaving EOS, even in Ethereum. But the most affected one is EOS.
I was expecting for them to bounce back after the launch of BSC but to hear nothing, no update yet. As of these days, EOS still on the top altcoins but it feels that sooner or later it get a move to the lower position. If they never find a way to anticipate such a situation, I'm not sure how this project could able to survive.

It's very difficult for EOS to compete with ETH and BSC, but that doesn't mean EOS will die. Because I think EOS is still a potential altcoins, even still
in the top 30. This means that the demand for EOS is quite high, what EOS needs is an update that can attract investors attention. But indeed until
now there has been no update from EOS, if there is no significant development from EOS,  the popularity of EOS will continue to decline and it is
not impossible that it will fall to a lower position. I have not been interested in investing in EOS right now, because there are still many better altcoins
than EOS.

Human nature is never satisfied, so many people live in greed. Indeed, we should be very grateful for what we have now, because there are still
