161  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BTC or altcoin on: December 06, 2023, 06:49:57 PM
I think it depends on each of our personalities because both BTC and altcoins can provide profits for their holders, but if you want your funds to be safe I think BTC is the right choice, but if you want to get bigger profits of course altcoin is a good choice but altcoin has a greater risk than BTC,
This is easy to talk about when you have bitcoin that you bought at the bottom. But if for example you bought bitcoin two years ago at 50k and you see altcoins doing x2-3-5-10, it's hard to fight greed. This market is not as simple as it seems. So if you choose the right coin and the right time to buy, any investment will bring profit.

Sometimes watching streamer and being motivated to play unknown games to us brings luck out of nowhere. Keep on trying but just don’t over commit. Trying the unknown and winning big time is really fun experience.
Fortunately there's a good result after you are attracted to play this specific game after watching a streamer. That's their goal anyway, to lure the people to try the game and see for themselves if they can also hit a high multiplier.

What I often heard about those who became motivated to play after seeing a streamer winning huge is, they lost their money for hoping it can happen to them as well. But it's nice knowing that someone got attracted but became lucky to experience winning a decent amount through slot. So, are you thinking to play this game again?
I'm sure streamers or other influencers work for those who pay them to do so. It's an advert they present to the audience. Sure sometimes someone might get lucky, but most lose money. It's like when someone tweets that they need to buy some shitcoin to get rich.
163  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: December 06, 2023, 02:58:53 PM
Many sports analysts and fans saw Bayern Munich and Manchester United as favorites to qualify for the next round, sadly the perceived underdogs like Copenhagen and Galatasaray now has greater chance than one of the best sides in European football. It will be disappointing to see them knocked out of all European competitions, maybe moving to the Europa league will be a suitable consolation.
Of course, anything can happen in football. But the performance from Manchester United is really not good right now. And I do not think that performance is going to improve anytime soon. Consistency is just a little too much to say that Manchester United is going to go through to the next stage of the Champions League. And if it was just consistency, I probably would have given them a chance.  But the performances are bad and the situation of Manchester United club is also not good. A lot of problems going on in the club right now. The players are also not feeling very settled in this club. So it is going to be a problem for them to fix things so quickly. I don't think they are actually going through through the next stage of the Champions League.
As of now, too much talk about Manchester United because of their unpredictable performance and now three matches are important for the ten hag as well because if they fail to bring positive results then surely we are going to have changes in coaching staff specially if they fail to win against Bayern Munich then exit is sure and things can take turn for the ten hag as well which is already under criticism about his strategy and poor performance.

Things are going not to easy for the Manchester United because now they have to win against Bayern Munich and then have to draw match between Copenhagen vs Galatasaray which is more like because most chances Copenhagen will go through with their impressive performance and their spot is also done for the round of 16 with the cost of ten hag jobs which is already under threat.
Out of five games Manchester United could win only one game against Copenhagen, who by the way are currently in second place in the group. I don't believe that Manchester United can beat Bayern. Perhaps it would be good for them to get to the third place in the group, but there are a lot of doubts here too.
164  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP - yes or no? on: December 06, 2023, 02:17:49 PM
Well some 'bullish' news from Ripple CTO David Schwartz. He has said the XRP Ledger is getting alot of attention and investors are not only talking about the XRP token used as gas.

He said the XRP Ledger is first layer 1 blockchain not built from Bitcoin technology. https://thecryptobasic.com/2023/11/18/ripple-cto-says-xrpl-pivoting-to-rwa-tokenization-pursued-by-firms-like-jpmorgan-and-boa/





I think there are so many other tokens than XRP that should be considered, I'm not badmouthing XRP but the performance in the field will show the results.
and I think xrp will be replaced.
I also think there are many other projects better to invest in than xrp. But I'm not sure about it being replaced, at least not in the near future. If xrp was able to counter with sec, it means they have strong backers. That's the only reason why the coin is at the top.

It all depends on your capital. if you use it a lot, buy the cheapest Crypto and that's the first solution, but if you're halfway through it's a good idea to change it again to the same coin so that the quantity increases, if not, as I said earlier, don't forget to be selective and don't get involved. it means being mature quickly in choosing.
If you have a large amount of money to invest, it is better to buy coins in instalments and choose several projects. And of course, you should have free money to buy in case the price drops. Now that the growth has started, it is better to sell gradually to buy again before or after the halving.
166  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Stable Coins ? on: December 05, 2023, 08:28:17 PM
ERC20 and TRC20 are both pretty good. If you're not sending your USDT often, I'd choose ERC20, TRC20 has cheaper fees, but TRX is not as big and trustable as ETH.
I don't think that if trx was not trustworthy, Tether would trust them to create a token. It's just that ethereum blockchain is popular among other projects and trx is popular only because of usdt trc20. Cheap commission is really their advantage.

And also considering that Barcelona will be playing from home is surely going to be an added advantage for them because it will be very difficult for Girona to win Barcelona on there home.
If Barcelona wants to win the title this season, they have to be able to beat Girona in this week's match, I know it may be difficult for Barcelona but it seems like there is no other way to catch up, they can steal full points in the match later even if they only win At least Barcelona can keep the points gap with Girona from being too far away and can get rid of Girona and then Madrid.

I know that Girona has played very consistently so far but sometimes they never manage to face the strongest teams in Laliga like Madrid and Barcelona, playing away from home it will certainly be difficult to beat Barcelona, I think they will probably play as hard as possible to not lose points, my prediction the result will be a draw or Barcelona will win narrowly 2 - 1  Wink
This match is equally important for Barcelona and Girona. But I think it could be a draw. Both teams have lost once each this season. It's hard to say who will win, but it will be a very interesting match. Girona should not be underestimated.

If Atalanta win against Torino now, they can move Napoli in the standings. This is a very important game for Atalanta. They are in first place in the Europa League, so now they can concentrate on Serie A. But Torino is not an easy opponent, especially when they play at home.
169  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investing altcoins now or during halving? on: December 04, 2023, 04:45:50 PM
I would wait until Bitcoin giving a certain bullish signal, because as far as I know, until now most altcoin are still depends on Bitcoin in term of price movement. Currently, Bitcoin price is moving in a good way, but I haven't see an assuring bullish signal. Tho there are some people that just speculate on altcoin even before the Bitcoin halving has effect on Bitcoin itself, but I think it's very risky.
Usually after bitcoin rises, altcoins rise. Especially since there has been an extended bear season for altcoins. Right now, most coins are at the bottom and I would buy it now. Because there will come a point where buying may be too late. Especially since there's not much time left before the halving.
170  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to identify shitcoins? on: December 04, 2023, 03:09:50 PM
I am sorry to hear that you have a bad experience with investing in altcoins It is really  disappointing when your investments do not work like you hope.The cryptocurrency market is known for having some scams.... So it is important to do your research before investing in any altcoin.

Sometimes we saw that a project may look really promising at first with a good team and lot of people supporting it (like Luna and FTT).But remember one thing it is important to think first and never fall in scam quickly do a proper research.

And It is also a good idea to spread your investments and never put all your money into one cryptocurrency. If you get any loss from one side so... definitely you will get some benifits from other side. And it is better if you will concern to any experienced people they will give you a better idea(and I really hope they will give you Idea to invest in Bitcoin).

But keep in mind that investing in cryptocurrencies is risky so it is important to be careful. Any project can scam or collapse and you have some examples like Luna and FTT.

And in my recommendation only one coin in which you can believe that is Bitcoin and just Bitcoin.
Yes, in reality it is like that. I have owned many altcoins that I thought would have high prices in the future, but the CEO was suspected of fraud and scam. It's not just one altcoin that is like that if we look into the past, but many altcoins are like that. The OP is not the only victim, but there are a lot of people who used to think that the few altcoins they held could make them rich, and now think that bitcoin is the only profitable crypto. However, I don't blame people who have views like that, because I have felt that way too. However, I still believe that some popular altcoins could have high prices in the future.
Probably some people are contraindicated in investing, because for them it is only a bad experience. But still, if you look at most of the old projects, you will see that they have shown growth no worse than bitcoin. It's just that altcoins don't have a long lifespan, because new and new projects are constantly appearing to replace the old ones. But nothing can replace bitcoin.
171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 04, 2023, 02:03:11 PM
For Napoli to get into the top 4 is indeed a difficult thing, but this season is still very long and they still have a chance to do that.
Napoli's next match, which will play at Juventus' headquarters, will also be difficult, especially as Juventus is in good form at the moment so there is very little chance that Napoli will win.
I think the opportunity for Napoli to return to the top four is wide open because what they get is when they face a team that is stronger than them unless they get bad results when facing a weak team like they got against Empoli so the owner decides to replace their coach with the current one.
Their points with AS Roma are the same and only behind by goal difference, so Napoli may still get a place to continue playing in the champions league next season because Roma is also not a consistent team, they still often get random results, only in the last four matches Roma is quite got a lot of points because they only had 1 draw, the rest were wins, but against Fiorentina next week it might be different because this is quite a difficult match in my opinion.
Yes, I agree that Napoli's chances of being in the top 4 are still very wide open with many matches remaining in this Serie A. It's just that their journey to be able to do that will not be as smooth as last season, yes there will be a lot of obstacles they will face to make it happen. Last season, we saw their striking differences and can be the toughest club in Serie A. But this season is much different, they are still struggling and they have to change coaches when their new coach has not passed the half of the season. But then again, their chances of being in the top 4 are still wide open.
I also think Napoli has the possibility to be in the top 4 of the standings. But there is a lot of competition for it now. If you look not at points in the standings but at the number of games won, there are at least six clubs fighting for this spot. That's if you don't take into account Inter, Juventus and Milan. So Napoli will definitely have a tough season.
172  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do You trust Tether (USDT) Stablecoin? on: December 03, 2023, 08:40:03 PM
USDT is indeed a stablecoin designed to maintain the US dollar peg. However, there are several concerns that arise in my mind regarding USDT, including, because USDT lacks transparency regarding its reserves. Apart from that, there are also concerns that USDT might be used to manipulate the cryptocurrency market. However, my concerns are based on accusations and controversies surrounding USDT circulating in various news, although this does not mean that all my concerns are valid or that USDT has fundamental weaknesses. However, a lack of transparency and regulatory oversight has contributed to doubts and questions surrounding USDT operations.

Tether's unwillingness to provide proof of USD reserves, should be a huge red flag for anyone considering investing into it for the long haul. We should seek alternatives that are regulatory-compliant for complete peace of mind. I believe USD Coin and Paxos USD are much safer options. USDT may be the biggest stablecoin on the market, but that doesn't mean it's "safe". It may've reached that position due to market manipulation by the issuing company. Constant "printing" of new USDT, tells us exactly that.

The crypto market often behaves in many strange and bizarre ways, so it's best to diversify just in case. I can see how negatively the market will react after a USDT collapse. Who knows how much time there is left before this happens? Just my thoughts Grin
The market is only going up because of Tether printing usdt. I don't know what could happen to the whole industry if something happens to Tether. It seems to me that no alternatives will be able to help. Trust in any stablecoins will be lost forever. So I guess there is no big difference in trust in different projects.
173  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Not all new Projects are bad, So take the Risk on: December 03, 2023, 05:57:33 PM
You can't do anything from the crypto market without risk but the amount of risk can be minimized by using your own experience. Like you can invest in top coin and it is long time no problem. Again you bought an unless coin and it died in a short period of time. Also there are many new projects which are getting success in pre sales, ido sales. Even after end all sales then soon they are entering good exchange so those projects can give really good profits.
This is called experience. Sometimes you have to lose your deposit or even do it several times before you learn how to choose the right projects and invest in them. I think that without experience it is better to invest in time-tested projects and learn how to profit from them. And only then try to look for something new.
174  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coin is more profitable? on: December 03, 2023, 04:05:07 PM
In my opinion the most profitable coin is BTC. Apart from that, BTC does not have a big risk, but we have to have large enough funds to buy it, if your funds are limited then altcoins are the right solution even though they have high risks, but have the potential to provide big profits, you have to choose the right altcoin so that the risk is not too big.
Bitcoin has 8 decimal points, which means that a person doesn't have to buy a whole Bitcoin to invest money in Bitcoin. You can buy for as low as $10 because that's mostly what exchanges allow being the minimum purchase amount. So, one shouldn't ignore Bitcoin only for the fact that it's expensive and they can't afford to buy it because they can buy with anything they have, it's just that their profits will be based on how much they are investing and the price of Bitcoin at the moment.

Therefore, people often choose altcoins because they think they can get better profits for their investment amount if they buy certain altcoins. If you invest $1000 in Bitcoin, and if it goes up $500, you won't get a lot of profit on that. However, if you invest the same on ETH, and if it goes up $500, you will get a lot more.
I guess eth is not a good example either. People invest in altcoins because in a bull market it usually shows more growth than bitcoin. If you successfully invest $1000, you can make $10k out of it. Which is very difficult if you buy bitcoin or eth. But buying top coins is less risky. However, you should not expect that you will get super profits either.
175  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 03, 2023, 03:31:04 PM
Bayern Munich match was postponed due to heavy snow. Like that Bayern Munich will remain second until the end of 2023 thought and Union Berlin will remain the last team in the ranking. It is hard to reschedule it before 2024 unless they want to cut holidays?

I know that Leverkusen's current performance is good, it's just that in terms of conditions, Bayern is still an unchangeable favorite, especially with the hegemony they always create in every season they always run, so indeed Bayern remains the main favorite to win the Bundesliga.
Bayer Leverkusen has to win the hardest games in Bundesliga if they want to finish first. By these matches, I mean Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Leipzig mainly. Bayer Leverkusen is playing home and they are favourite according to bookies. It will be interesting to see them winning this match and continue to challenge Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga title Wink
Bayern Munich's proposed home game against Union Berlin yesterday was postponed because of the extreme level of snow falling in Munich overnight. But that can be an opportunity for Bayer Leverkusen to capitalize on and extend their lead at the top of the table to five points. The league leaders host fifth placed Borussia Dortmund this evening and a win for Xabi Alonso's men will further increase their chances of finishing the year at the top of the league table, a prediction that very few persons would've predicted at the start of the season.

The away team Borussia Dortmund are a very good side who are capable of beating the league leaders if they play to their full strength but considering the performance of the two teams since the start of the season, I'll be banking in Bayer Leverkusen to win the game or at worst share points with Borussia Dortmund.
Bayer and Dortmund in my opinion have equal chances to win today's game. Both teams will play after matches in European Cups, but Dortmund had more time to rest their players. I think it could be a draw. Although Bayer's stats are very good. They had only one draw and won all other matches.
176  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investing altcoins now or during halving? on: December 03, 2023, 09:27:50 AM
Don't forget about "buy the rumor, sell the news". There will be lot of people anticipating a price increase during the halving. They will all start investing as much as they can before the halving. The price will start going up. And when finally the halving happens, there will be people selling their coins to take their profit, cause the price to go down. So yeah, in the short run, there is a chance the price might go down a little after the halving, but in the long run, it will cause the price to go up. Same goes for altcoins, but in this case the altcoins are more volatile and riskier. Go for the top altcoins that are well known if you want to risk less and always invest what you can afford to lose. Don't get greedy and spread your investments!
You have an interesting point of view on a possible halving scenario. But for example, last time the price fell before the halving and then started to rise. Not necessarily that it will happen again this time, but usually altcoins started to rise when bitcoin was already finishing its growth.
177  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: So we got new CEO of Binance on: December 03, 2023, 08:55:56 AM
The new CEO Richard Teng says Binance will now act different then when CZ was in charge. This means there will be a board of directors, physical address, and financial transparency.
These are all things that Binance never did have with CZ as the CEO. He says there is a 'robust timeline' in place for it to happen.
https://www.binance.com/en/feed/post/2023-11-27-richard-teng-transitioning-binance-into-a-conventional-financial-company-with-increased-regulation-and-transparency-612563312369

I guess that's what would be good for all the users. It don't mean CZ and the leadership were harming its users but more transparency and regulation are always favorable to the users on the long term. Even though we might have to trade of some perks and probably a higher fees as their operation cost and taxes increases. It may seem counterintuitive at first but it may prevent any large mishandling of Binance like the one done in FTX, where people lost huge amount of money trying to save a fraction of the fees.
And aside from that Binance did this to give way for the investigation where CZ can focus on the case. Of course, we all can't forget all the good things and exchange improvements during his time but still, we are not sure about the transparency he did and this is what the issue has been called. It is a good decision for the Binance team and the transition is needed knowing that CZ can no longer hold and work on his position as the issue continues. And with the experience of the new CEO (Richard Teng), we believe and expect something new with Binance and can protect its reputation.
I don't know how good his reputation was. I think he was often talked about negatively in the crypto community. To be honest, I'm even surprised that the investigation into him started recently and not a few years ago. But I guess that doesn't matter. What's important is that the government is taking steps to regulate crypto.
178  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are altcoins important? on: December 02, 2023, 06:48:54 PM
if you can afford to purchase right altcoins, then you don't need to worry about dead or scam, rather you can make health amount from your invested capital which might be more than you could from Bitcoin. That's why altcoins is important. But if you don't follow rules and invest your Capital with random altcoins then literally you lost your money. This is why you need to learn and pick Potential altcoins only by doing deep investigation before buy. Cause your investment is alway your own responsibility
If altcoins were not in the market, investing in only Bitcoin will not be as much profitable like putting our funds on altcoins.
There are huge profits to be made from alcoins if we invested at the right time and we don't hesitate to utilize the opportunity to make profits from the market. By the time the bull is here, making profits will be everyone's interest because the market would be very volatile and those that were able to invest on good altcoins would make the best profits.
I think you're wrong. If there were no altcoins, the rest of the capitalisation of the entire crypto market would be in bitcoin. So bitcoin would be a lot more expensive than it is now. But there would probably be a lot less interest in cryptocurrencies. So altcoins are like a lure for new investors.

Girona was able to beat Valencia and picked up three points. But Real Madrid managed to score a goal so far and nominally have three points, but the match is not over yet. Although I don't believe Granada will be able to beat Real Madrid away.
180  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: We should start looking into Altcoins on: December 02, 2023, 01:05:49 PM
While historical patterns show Bitcoin pumps often followed by altcoin pumps, it's crucial to acknowledge the inherent risk. Making informed decisions involves understanding when and which altcoin to leverage. Mistakes can happen, such as anticipating the end of a Bitcoin pump, investing in an altcoin, only to see Bitcoin continue its rise, causing the altcoin to decline.
If you look at the charts of altcoins and bitcoin, you can see that bitcoin grew first, and altcoins started to grow a bit later. But there are some coins that have shown very good growth, such as solana. Even Ripple was able to grow despite their difficulties. I think that soon the other altcoins will start to grow too.
