1601  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins That Go Up When Whole Crypto Market Goes Down? on: August 11, 2022, 08:27:30 PM
When this happens it is because obviously the currencies become a game of Pump and Dump, there are many who are dedicated to this type of trading but I think it is a very complicated and difficult game or trading, it is almost trying to guess which currency will rise and when they do, it is abrupt and almost 30% onwards, but it doesn't last long, because they are very square movements that occur at a given moment, those pump and dump are sometimes managed from telegram groups that are dedicated to this and they seek investors who give their money to make the movements and thus earn with them.

Difficult type of trading and at the same time this is more riskier because you are playing on something which arent really totally having those potential or just simply be good for

pump and dump scheme.We do have different types of coins in the market which you could play and invest on long term and it would really be just common sense and you could
really able to make yourself aware in regarding with movements and stuffs.No one could ever predict on what would be the next movement when the market tends to be bearish since we know that whenever everything is on reds then expect that every coins or majority in the market would really be heading on the same path. Bitcoin is the main setter
and basing on the condition you would really see that it would be following most of the time.

Stay alert and stay calm Wink
You'll still be able to witness the same market situation in the future so, in this stage, you have to take it as a lesson and learn from the possible market movements that you'll observe. You can't do nothing about the bearish season since it's basically the part of the cycle. You better buy good coins than stare at the price movements so you'll have good preparations for the future bull run.
Try to read up real experiences and decisions made by the public or most people and then trying out to snip out and apply it to yours and learn something from it then you would be finding for it to be beneficial.

For first timers then observing is relevant but reading up more real time experiences from other people does really fasten up things a little bit and that what makes you a little bit aware on how this market works.

Dont rush up on learning something and make up decisions according on what you had learned although it wont be simple but it is really just part of investment.

6. Ignore personal bias

I have seen fan addict who still bet in favour of their team despite knowing the opponent is better in form, stronger and we'll coordinated from proof of previous match winnings, they bet and lose with the proud feeling of going down with their team. The Manchester fans are the most culprit of this in my area. They usually include man u in their slip and they lose the bet at the end, sometimes it is only the Manchester United game that stop them from winning the bet. Like during last season between the Liverpool and Manchester, this happened despite knowing Liverpool was going to defeat their team.
I never consider personal bias in placing my bet, I am an Arsenal fan and last season the club had been very inconsistent in their performances thus I placed my bet based their present form and past records, imagine placing a bet that Arsenal will win against Liverpool that is absolutely unrealistic last season, rather I placed my bet that they will lose and won, it's unfortunate that those Man Utd fans prefers personal bias against reality, money is involved in gambling thus it's so important to place a bet on sure bets based on the past statistics and records of the participating teams irrespective of being the fan club or not.
You know that there are die hard fans and supporters and making theirselves blind and would make out those biased betting which i would say that it isnt really that worth but if you are prepared on losing your money

just because you do show up some support into your favorite team then go ahead but if you do give out importance into your money and bet then you would really be still having those reconsiderations and wont

really be that forcing yourself to bet into a team even if you do know that have least chance of winning but well its a personal choice because we do have different way of betting and consideration and criterias
when choosing up a particular team to bet.

Yeah, imagine when BTC will crash from $200,000 to $100,000: run for your lives, sell everything and forget about it  Cheesy

Such drama in this world. This is why HODLing and relaxing is the best way to handle these things. 1 BTC = 1 BTC even in 2140.
Bitcoin has been dead a lot of times, and that’s what most of the people believe. When the whole market is crashing, bitcoin drastically drops its price and settle into a new low price. And from there, criticisms arise that bitcoin won’t no longer recover again and eventually die. However, only fools believed in it including those weak hands that eventually sell their bitcoin immediately. While strong hands remain firm and continue to buy and hold, as the price will eventually rise again and reach its new all time high.
Whenever there's a headline about bitcoin is being dead then it is really a good opportunity to buy specially if uncertainty and fear could really be seen around but we know that making out decisions on times like this

would never be easy but to those who do see this as an opportunity are the ones who do able to make profits once the market would make out some u-turn or would really be changing trend.

Its up to someones choice and knowledge on how they would really be dealing with this volatility but it is really needed on the first place once you do step
your foot into this market where you should familiarize or get used to this volatility and unpredictability.

With the current economic situation in my country I can Cather for you and your close ones. I choose to go into entrepreneurship It is much more profitable and self reliance. One has the freedom of when and how to do things instead of always given directions to do things. Things are hard this time one has to always to try his best.
Office job can give you a fixed amount without worrying about anything. But on the other hand - entrepreneurship is a challenge.
YOu have to be vigilant all day all night to take care of your venture. sometime it is not progressive but you have pay salaries and take care of all the expenses.
When it turns out that if the amount you do earn from that stable income from your office job isnt enough anymore then it would really be a stressful type of problem and with just common sense we could really feel

the need of urgency when it comes on finding another source of income which you should really get involved with just for you to break the shackle of that stress on trying out to survive on everyday living with
having shortage of the income you do make.Inflation plus unexpected spendings or expenses then it would really be just hard.

Having side income is a must if you do have that shortage or even have the wish on having a better life in terms of finances which could really be acquire into other source of income.
1606  Economy / Gambling / Re: How do you know how to trust online sportsbooks? on: August 09, 2022, 10:59:02 PM
Google would be always your friend and it doesnt really cost you much time and effort on making some research not only solely for reviews and feedbacks but in almost information that you are seeking for specific thing.
When you are in doubt then you could always search for real time feed backs and experiences from other users because money is important.We cant really just let for us to get scammed just because you are
careless on choosing a site or you are in a rush or you had just missed out because you didnt do your homework. Always stick into those sites where majority of people
do stay or play because you can ensure that you are dealing on the right place.
While true unfortunately this is something that happens over and over again, how many people we see coming to this forum and complain about being scammed by casino,s and the first thing we say to them is that such a casino has had a bad reputation for a very long time and if they had done their due diligence then they will not be in those troubles, then they ask for our help but at the time there is not much to do as an additional negative rating is not going to do much to the reputation of that casino.
Research is the basic but as said they are just neglecting and they would really be doing this after they had been scammed.Sounds dumb right?

If you do just give importance on your money and doesnt really want to lose it easily then first thing you do have in mind if you do deal on the right place.Trusting could be easy because whether someone
wont mind about its reputation as long his mind tells him to deposit then he would definitely do so.

Just like been said that stick on playing into those platforms which does have lots of players or users then you could assure that you are dealing on the right place.
1607  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: You don't need to hodl a particular coin all your life on: August 09, 2022, 10:19:28 PM
How long have you been hodling a particular coin while the coin has been making progress for your profit taking and yet dropping in your eyes ?

Some people don't understand the hodling technique, they are hodling a particular coin and never sell to rebuy again or to sell and buy another coin. You can sell this coin and buy that other coin that is how to turn over your money.

I didn't tell you to sell your bitcoin and not to buy again. I only say you sell the bull and buy the bear  Grin
In order to invest, we must aim to keep the invested profit until we get a profit.If we get enough profit from the investment then we will definitely sell some of them and later feel again and decide to buy them.I have seen many people who invest and after having enough profit on that investment they don't sell it and then it goes down again and then they hold it for a long time.This does not fall into any principle of investment, if profit cannot be achieved by investing, then it is not worth investing.
Try to compound the profits you had made and secure your capital as this is my kind of way when dealing with my investment where i do sell whenever i do see its already right time on selling it out.It doesnt really needfor you to hold like forever which the potential profits that could be made is really just a fraction on the amount that you could potentially get whenever you do make active buy and sells.

Although it wont be that simple because not all would really be that good on playing with market volatility thats why they are deciding to hold instead.
1608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An alternative to gambling with money. on: August 09, 2022, 09:29:53 PM
Since you people can't gamble because of the lack of money, this means that this idea of gambling with fake money suit you the most. If gambling is available to you with fake money, will you people gamble and get some entertainment? Since you will have nothing to lose, you will enjoy gambling the most. However, i wonder what will the gambling casino earn if they allow gambling with fake money:Smiley

Not a good idea to start either, I mean they are doing just fine even without these fake apps with fake amounts of money, and using these kinds of apps will just put fuel in their hidden desires towards where the real gambling is. I understand the motive and what you're trying to say but the solution you're trying to offer will probably destroy their lives if it turns out that they will be curious about gambling.

I personally think that if a person is gambling with fake money then he won't be so addicted to gambling at first place.
Why I am saying this is because when you gamble with real money it gives you a thrill which in turn gives you the adrenaline rush which fake money cannot provide.
So the probability of addiction through gambling with fake money is really low. The human mind only produces dopamine when we are getting a reward out of something.
Money is the reward in gambling. If there's no real money then there's not enough dopamine to get us into the addiction stage.
Most probably after one point we will get bored by playing the games.

Yes, that is also possible and yes it's true that only real gambling can only give us the thrill we seek as it's where we can make real money despite of odds that are against us. But there's also a big possibility that a person will be tempted to go where the real deal is because he or she will start to believe that if he can win in fake gambling, then he or she can also have the same win in the real gambling with the same technique.
And come to think that you would really be having those mad or sick type of betting when you do know  that you do have fake funds which it would really be having no emotions attached and when you do win or

hit big multipliers then the main thing that would come up into your mind is that you should really be doing this in real funds and would expect that it would be ending up on the same results and making your hell of

a rich guy.Am i  right? We are naturally born greedy deep inside but there are ones who do able to control and there are ones who arent thats why ending up on bad decisions and outcomes.
1609  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ignore the dip and Invest in Bitcoin for long term on: August 08, 2022, 11:59:32 PM
The dip have been a big distraction to many young investors, many young investors think that they don't deserve a dip, but they don't have knowledge that the dip is as important as the bull , every dip comes with a bull. When I started investing bitcoin the dip was a distraction,  but when I got understanding of everything  I don't get panic in the dip.
So you say that old investors should deserve a dip? You should bare up into your mind that it doesnt matter whether you are new or old, young or old, you would definitely able to experience market dips and corrections because this is how this market works or simply this is an inevitable thing.Whether you are experienced or not you are prone to this.It does vary on what actions you would made basing up
with your knowledge and awareness into this market.Instead on freaking out whenever a market dip you should instead see this as an opportunity to buy cheap because
you could utilize these movements for your advantage because you could make profits with that.
1610  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you look down on Bushy or undeveloped areas? on: August 08, 2022, 10:25:44 PM
Do you think buying your first landed property in a bushy area is a good investment for the future.

Buying a property in an undeveloped place or let's say like a rural area can still be a good investment depending on your plan on it. Even if it will never become a city or a crowded place, you can still build a farm there like livestock or have your own fish pond. You can freely develop the area without bothering some establishments. If your plan is to build your house or have a store business there then it would be better to make sure it's near on a well-developed area so your investment won't go to waste.
Mate you are saying the real thing, firstly it only depends only what the person wants to do with land. Land can be use for farming that can generate money,  their are many things land can be used to make money. Some people believe the only way to make money from land is build houses and rent it out.
Depends whether it would be a potential commercial lot space or would be agricultural lot which it is really true that making money would be totally depending on what type of lot you are owning or you had purchased

Its up to someones consideration whether you do have long term purpose for such purpose or just simply you do really like to make money out of agricultural which had been said that it does really depend on what

type of land but there are some spaces or lots which it could be altered out but it would be entirely depending if the owner would decide and it all talks about money making.  Cheesy
1611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you stop gamble if your girl friend insists ? on: August 08, 2022, 09:37:26 PM
Many people obey their girl friends more than anyone else.

What if their girl friend insists you to stop gambling  Huh Will you Stop  Tongue
If the moment has come when your girlfriend insists that you stop gambling, you must have crossed a dangerous line. Often, the players themselves do not see this when they should stop and cannot objectively assess the situation, being thirsty "just about, just a little bit" to grab the long-awaited big win. In pursuit of this, money can be lost, a lot of money, and just at such moments, a friend can prove herself as a guardian angel and help stop. Then you need to take a break from gambling, come to your senses and soberly assess the situation. Sometimes it is better to stop at a loss of 10% than 100%, 200% or more and not try to win back.
Depends on the situation because there are some girlfriends who doesnt really like for other things to get the attention of their boyfriends.  Cheesy Even though spending money isnt that much
but still she insist for you to stop then you wont really be having no choice because if you do insist then it might result to break up but its up all to you because if you do see that
there's nothing wrong with your gambling activity then i dont see for it to be that necessary to stop but in most case people will surely stop because they dont want
for them to loseo their gf's even myself would definitely be ending up on quitting decision. hehe
1612  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Eth could take over BTC or not on: August 08, 2022, 08:35:30 PM
With PoS coming and Gas fee finally getting fixed do you think that Ethereum is capable of overtaking bitcoin? Oh also there will be max supply for Ethereum finally too, or is this expectation of mine way too high.
No one knows if ETH would able to manage on overtaking BTC in terms of overall marketcap and dominance in the market but to know that btc is the king of crypto then it would really be that hard to believe that

it could happen easily considering the community that mainly supports bitcoin is vast and big which it would really be hard that it would really be getting lesser support once ETH would becoming POS nor does fix
its gas fee issue.
I could say that it is really a very big improvement for ETH but i dont think that this would really be enough for it to replace bitcoin into its throne but well everything is a possibility
but this is something hard or almost impossible to happen though.
1613  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to know a good bounty on: August 07, 2022, 07:16:36 PM
I heard that some bounties fail to pay participants at the end of work. Considering this senerio, how can one know which bounty is a good to participate in?
very easy, there are many good bounty managers here, HHampuz, Julers, One Nuts, Brainboss,
and a few more, you can follow their bounty and analyze the project first,
but I'm sure 80% of their projects are successful and always pay, good luck
One of the most best things about joining up a bounty is on getting paid but the ones what matter most is that the token/coin would really be having some value in the end because it wont really be that worth the

effort and time if you do end up on having those no value coins in the end of the line which is really very common when doing bounty hunting thing but its true that sticking with known or good managers

does increase the odds on hitting up a good project since they do make out some initial research and approval that this is a good project for them to run into but well its not an assurance.
1614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rise of Streamers in Online Gambling on: August 05, 2022, 07:11:12 PM
If they advertise it, the obvious is there and they're doing it for the sake of the payment that they've got to introduce and give exposure to that casino.
You'll see them telling that they're encouraging people to gamble there because that's how it should work because that's the main reason on why they get paid and why they're playing there.
Typical job right? Its normal that they would really be doing things on whats been asked and mandated and as showing off their good performance or results then they would be trying out their best on hooking up new

players to the platform or site and does really make that payment to be worth and this is also some good portfolio building too which would really be helpful for their future projects to get if they do have
that good record and recommendations.

The only thing here is that people should be wise and be wary of their decisions that had been made.
The decision is free for everyone of us and those that follow these streamers. They're aware about those sponsorships and they're also given that disclaimer that if they're going to gamble, they should do it only with the amount that they afford to lose.
The others won't listen to that sound advice but those that are know it and yet not following it, they just accept whatever outcome they get as they gamble.
When you are complete noob or doesnt really have experience on things specially on gambling field then you wont really be that too sensitive about other things like sponsorship or those  streamers had been

funded by the company even though those streamers do really give out some warning into their viewers but nothing beats out on the influence that they could give while they are playing which

it would really be that normal that they would really be still playing or making deposits in the end of the day except into those people who are experienced and able to see something odd or different
on early basis.
1615  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! on: August 04, 2022, 10:19:02 PM
I saw this picture of a mobile miner wearing this mini mining machine on his shoulder, I kind of thought where in the world this can be achieved without fear of being harassed by authorities, and the thought of El  Salvador who happen to be the first country to make Bitcoin a legal tender. I guess El Salvadorans who can afford this mining equipment can wear it anywhere within the country this enhances productivity as there can easily move around with the device.
What do you guys think about this?
Hope the electricity generated to power the miner can not electrocute him? It does not look right to me, there is a lot of free space he can put that miner. To let people know more about bitcoin, he can have a bitcoin t-shirt and other things that bitcoin is written, not to be risking his life. What if something accidental happens that can make him to suddenly fall and cause the electricity to pass into his body, is that not death or won't him be hospitalized? Not advisable.

hahahaha

I agree with the lack of necessity of the whole matter in terms of lugging around a miner in the form of a backpack, but I doubt that it would be as risky as you are making it out to be - even though surely you may well be correct that he has to be more careful in terms of walking up and down stairs or maybe going hiking close to cliffs, but at the same time, people take various kinds of risks all of the time - especially when they are engaged in a kind of publicity campaign to attempt to make some points that might related to portability of bitcoin mining.economic attacks towards its citizens) into a better safety/security/confidence position). 
Could be done but it is way too exaggerated or coming into a point that someone had put up his life at risk just to have that kind of publicity? We do know that being positive towards bitcoin and mining isnt really

that bad but we shouldnt really come into this kind of certain extent where we do make ourselves dumb which we could really find out other ways or alternatives on doing this without putting harm into ourselves.

Just let recognition and awareness do spread out gradually and normally which it is really impossible for these things or ideas not to scatter around at least.
1616  Economy / Economics / Re: The BTC price must stabilize in the long run. on: August 04, 2022, 09:07:53 PM
Introducing gradually to the journey of a coin is the right promotion step, Bitcoin takes the step to find the right format, so that today we can see how strong this coin survives in the market. Unlike Altcoin, they only pursue votality and temporary strength, but in the long run they cannot maintain, there are only two that are still strong for now, Ethereum with BNB
Bitcoin does not need any promotion, it get promoted on its own. Cheesy

The popularity of one coin does not lead to a bad outcome even when its price fluctuates, like I said the yearly volatility remains within controlled limits.

Though altcoins also see pump and dump they too remain close to this when seen on a long term scale like a year or a half. Specific altcoins might be doing better on their creators promotions, still bitcoin remains the big one.

Price remains stable in the long run, if you know how to take advantage of it. Besides without the price changes we would not have any trading happening.

When you do step your foot into crypto market then you should be aware on market price conditions.

1. Bear
2. Bull
3. Ranging/Sideways

We know that #3 would be the most hardest part on making up a decision whether you do buy or sell specially if this condition or situation had lasted
for a couple of months which it is really hard to determine on what step you would really be doing in order to maximize possible profitability.
It doesnt really need to  stabilize and it doesnt really need to be promoted because everything would come normally just like on what you said which is definitely true.

1618  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC Ever Reach $100k? on: August 03, 2022, 10:59:32 PM
I've got a feeling that BTC is going to pump soon. Some facts back that up, like the fact that on the carts we bottomed and the US will pump the market before mid-term elections, which will also pump BTC. They have an anti-inflation inflationary bill of half a trillion dollars about to be released. There may even be more stimulus checks. Some altcoins have already started pumping. ICP is already up 25% over the last week for example. Most other major alts are up at least 10%.
I hope August is the beginning of a good month for price pumps in the market because last July, bitcoin went up by 17% even though this still can't be said to be something positive because we are still careful whether it will be bullish or bearish? pumps or dumps?

We do have some topics on this forum or in overall market sayings that month of August is a ghost month
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4906970.0

Therefore, i dont really believe that much that there would be some good pumps or increase for this month,although it doesnt really assure
that these kind of sentiments do really affect crypto market but it would be better if you dont make yourself expect these things to be that accurate most of the time.
1619  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How diversified are you with your investment, crypto aside? on: August 03, 2022, 09:29:38 PM
Most staking platforms that do have stablecoins on their assets are likely giving 10% APY. For you have that various choice, check the assets of mycointainer and you'll see the APY of the assets that they support.
Many are not that much but it's better than to be gullible of those high APYs but too good to be true. Read their terms and be guided.
Based up on experience 10% APY is standard for most staking platforms but still not enough for me to trust up but if i do see that you could withdraw anytime without having that much big charge or reduction then

i might consider such option but if not then i would simply skip.If you do have money to spare then it isnt really bad to take or touch up staking but of course you should mind off about the certain risk.

Not all projects do end up on good fate but rather declining and even dying when the time comes thats why you should be careful on choosing which one.

Well, if you think that 10% isn't enough then find other platforms that will give you more than that. The banks are even giving 1%-3% and that's likely the highest. Although some digital banks are also in existence today and can give as high as 7%.
Yes, flexible savings is what we want so that we can pull out our money so quick and that's why you have to choose a platform like mycointainer that don't require assets to be locked as you stake.
So anytime you would able to pull those assets you have staked? If thats the case then it would be on lesser risk compared into those who do have 1 year locked before you could able to get those amounts you

had invested.Its true that those percentages are really on point on what banks do give out and since we do have platforms offering staking which give as much as 30%+ then this is where people do become

too much interested on it thats why they do make out some consideration on touching up this area but of course we should be mindful about the risk lies ahead which is more than
on what we do saw into those banks that we've been get used to.

Its your choice whether you do like or want to see these kind of exhibition matches yet we know that this wont really be having out that official record that would be set and just trying out to include boxing sport
