1601  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Good idea how to make profit on: August 14, 2022, 08:14:29 PM
I'm more interested on how to make that $500,000 and keeping that to myself that I'm gonna use in trading just myself. Why bother on whales if you could make your own profits. The problem here is that most of the newbie traders wants an instant millionaire life overnight, there's no such thing. Trading is about commitment, dedication, and perseverance, if you don't have those, for sure you'll just burn your money in trading.
No, you are not going to make that alone but like he said you will be needing the help of other people. They will gave their own contribution until you made that amount and then that will be used as a payment to the whales but the only problem is how can people trust you that you won't scam them? Sorry but the op seems to be not trusted because most of his threads are not serious. Plus I don't think his idea will work. Never heard before that a whale can negotiate on a normal person. They can maybe if you are in the same level as them.

The reason why he needs the help of the whale is because the market is unpredictable and he thinks whales can predict it.

Leverkusen 1-2 Augsburg

Leverkusen did not win the second match after the defeat in the first match. Leverkusen lost 2-1 against Augsburg. But Leverkusen's dominance in today's match was palpable. They made 24 total shots, while Augsburg made just 6. On the other hand the ball possession Leverkusen 68% and Augsburg only 32%. There is no doubt that Leverkusen played well, but they should be more tactical. Instead of playing only attacking tactics, efforts should be made to strengthen the attacks.
Leverkusen is failing and they are sitting in the last rank. I could understand a defeat vs Dortmund, but Augsburg too..
Leipzig isn't better at all, 2 points in 2 games.. Frankfurt didn't recover yet getting a draw vs Hertha and so far Schalke is leading vs M'Gladbach!
We are in second round of this season, but still few results are shocking as Leverkusen lost second game at home against Augsburg and Leipzig also fail to have their first win of this season which is surely not good sign, but good thing happen Werner start his magic and done first goal for his team.

Frankfurt is also another poor start and have just one point from two games which is surely not good start for them Schalke is also now back in Bundesliga, and they were in good but suddenly B. Mönchengladbach fights back in last twenty minutes we have three goals and first point for Schalke in this new season in Bundesliga.

Now, we have two exciting matches one is going to be one-sided as Bayern Munich is going to hammer Wolfsburg.

I don’t see here any trap, if your willpower is strong enough.
Just remember the thing that Bitcoins are “limited” in supply.
So a time will come when the demand of the coin will be sky rocketing, and at that time you will regret that not buying or holding any Bitcoins.
I guess it won’t be any late or any harm if we buy the Bitcoins at 30k usd also. As after 2 to 3 months you will see the real value of Bitcoins.
Just be patient and hold your coins.
People are not the same but some are scared and think there's still a trap because this is what they observe last time but some think's this time will be different. Well that can be true because bitcoin can't be like this forever but we will come to a point where its value can fully recover and make new all time highs again. Buying bitcoins at 30k is late but not totally because that was only half of what btc have lost.

Remember its last highest price was over 60k so it's still possible for us to times two our invest in case it returns on that price but there is no way to tell if the recovery will happen around 2 or 3 months. It can be longer or shorter than that.
1604  Economy / Economics / Re: Why aren't people utilising cryptocurrency payment methods? on: August 13, 2022, 11:42:19 AM
I have seen multiple websites start to accept bitcoin payments. Heck, even Tesla did it at one point. But if you're referring to day to-day trade like buying a coffee, I don't think the bitcoin blockchian is even capable of handling that number of transactions. The lightning network does provide a workaround to this problem tho, so we'll see.
I think he is referring to both online and offline use of crypto as a currency and not as an asset. Buying coffee with btc is possible and in fact it is happening already. Some threads here before shows that. It's not that btc cant handle much of a transaction because there's also a lot of btc sellers and buyers every single day but what can discourage people to do it is because of the high fee.

I think the fee of a normal btc transaction is almost a dollar which can be more than the price of your coffee but if it's on a high end coffee shop and what you are ordering is a premium/special coffee then I think you won't feel bad of using your btc to pay it but like you said there's also lightning network which fees are much cheaper.
1605  Other / Archival / Re: Entrepreneurship or Office job? on: August 12, 2022, 06:40:43 PM
Everyone wants to be their own boss because no-one likes taking orders from someone senior - normal human nature, and that is why such contexts come into play.
One must remember that being an entrepreneur is not a cakewalk and neither is it possible by any common man. One may dream of being one but in reality people get squeezed out of that in short time periods.

So have that mindset but don't try to gamble your life and savings on such an idea. The few people whom you see as successful in such startups and all are only a small fraction of the actually huge number.

Don't be angry on your current job, who knows what life may have in store for you. For those who are in studying phase, try to get into a job that you enjoy, don't go in for the money right away.
Making your own business may not be easy, but at the very least you are in control and you decide what you should do, and if you fail at least you know that you failed yourself and not because of anyone else. Whereas, when you are working for someone else, you see all these wrong things going on, and you keep on thinking that you should be in charge because you would do it a better way.

On top of that, they pay you just peanuts compared to what you earn them, and they will keep on making sure that they are the ones who gets the profit first. While they are in shopping spree at Milano, you will be having hard time paying your debts off. Hence, having your own is hard work, harder than working for someone else, but it's much better when it comes to getting paid.
1606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: August 12, 2022, 08:04:33 AM
I'm impress with Freiburg performance last week because they can able to win 4-0 from Augsburg and today they will faced strong opponent which is different from their latest opponent so this is hard match for them on the other hand seems Dortmund faced tight schedule for two weeks in a row because after beat Leverkusen they have to fight against dark horse team Freiburg and during last season Freiburg is one of the team who hard to defeated by Dortmund so possibly Freiburg can showed unpredictable performance in this match and regarding bet option although this is risky but Dortmund win might be good to be considered
In their first match against Augsburg they have done amazing job and win by 0 - 4 is a big alarm for many other teams, and now they are going to face Borussia Dortmund which is also in good shape but due to some injuries now having trouble, but this match is surely going to give a better picture how things will go for these two teams in this season because with this first win they already announce they will be a good unit for having good results until end of this season and Borussia Dortmund is surely needed to do hard work for win.

Freiburg were in good position in last season but sadly in last few matches they lost their rhythm and dropped to sixth but now as they started most chances they could be team to watch for having top four spots with their quality which is right now good.
1607  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to know a good bounty on: August 11, 2022, 08:36:53 PM
Nowadays it is very hard to differentiate between a good bounty and a bad bounty, Sometimes the bad ones pays hunters their dues while the good ones refuse to pay. It is hardly to know which one is good considering the situation we are in ,market has not been bearish for long so it is hardly to find a bounty that pays that much.
I think it was the opposite. This new generation is supposed to be better because there are now lots of information scattered online to know if a project is a scam or not. If they did pay then they aren't really that bad but bad bounties are those who are scams and doesn't pay anything to their workers while it's not possible for a good bounty to not pay their participants because the reputation that they already built are going to be affected.

They won't sacrifice it for some amount because they can always recover soon what they have paid for. We are now in a bear market but the one that is affected is only the price and should not be the rate of the hunters and the quality of the project.
1608  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Tips for newbie to long-term investing on: August 11, 2022, 06:45:50 PM
First off, it’s good to see that you have a job and is now interested in investing in the crypto market. I’m happy to see you’ve got a job cause I’m my opinion, it isn’t advisable to put all your funds into believing you’re going to make a huge profit from investments. You should only invest with spare money and I’m glad you aren’t using all your fiat into investing.
If you’re interested in investing into coins, I think it’s obvious you should invest in the more stable coin (bitcoin). You say you already have a fair amount of ethereum saved. That’s fairly good. Now you could save up on your btc as well and in the long run, you’re sure to have some good return on investment
Having a job first before investing is necessary so that we have a sufficient capital of course and then we won't hurry to sell only to have a cash because we already have some (thanks or our job) but even if we already have a job, it is still not advisable to put all your funds or your salary in cryptos because how you are going to pay your bills and how you are going to eat if you do that?

If only the price can pump the next day after we put our money then why not? But in reality, that's not how things work here but investing usually takes time for your money to grow. Bitcoin is not a stable coin but eth and alts are although btc still can work well in a long term investment.
1609  Economy / Economics / Re: The BTC price must stabilize in the long run. on: August 11, 2022, 08:39:11 AM
I congratulate you on making profits with investing in USDT, but how it's different from simply investing in USD then?
Because, it's not available in my nation to buy any amount you want, and sell any amount you want. There are regulations and people who do not have a license to trade, could do so with a limited amount of money, well I am already under that limit, so it wouldn't have mattered to me to be fair, but many people prefer USDT in my nation because of this, many also moved from USDT to BUSD instead, because Binance is bigger and better.

Long story short, USDT is still better because it's still crypto, we could also go into crypto from there easier as well. I have to say, the regulations mean nothing when you are in crypto and you know what you are doing.
1610  Economy / Speculation / Re: Realist World of Crypto Space on: August 10, 2022, 08:26:19 PM
People like them are just trying to get attention with those predictions based on nothing, its hard to see still people are giving attention to them even though if it supports cryptocurrency still why we have to follow them and expect their prediction to come true?

Probably the tweet was made when the person is high, ETH will surpass bitcoin first then BTC will reach 1 million rlvery soon after that but then after few decades bitcoin will become the reserve currency looks too contrary right?

They are just predictions that also give courage to the crypto users. It is not necessarily that it must come to pass but if it comes to pass his predictions have come to reality.
Not just the price that we have to monitor but the groups of our coins too, to see their plans and future updates if this is good or if this will affect the coin in a bad way. Watching the news not only in cryptos do also help because certain events can have an impact on cryptos.

If we hold a coin and we think it's risky and then its price is also dropping, we don't need to wait longer before we do the right actions because there's a chance that the dump can go bad like price will drop really fast. On the other hand, predictions made by someone else can give encouragement only if it's positive and also it has to be realistic.
1611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: August 10, 2022, 06:56:31 PM
Players with incredible intent just have a general understanding of the game that is way beyond the average player. Best example I like to prefer to is Spain during their prime. They didn't meet more often than others, they just had 11 outstanding superstars who exactly knew where to run, when to run, where to play and when to play. Sure many of them played in the same club like Real Madrid or Barcelona, but that is actually the same for some national teams like Germany (Bayern Munich).

I still think that it is completely open who is going to take it home this year. Messi wants to know what's possible, most likely his last World Cup. Same for Ronaldo. Apart from the fact that it takes place in Qatar, I hope for some dramatically close games!
World cup is always having some shocking results and many other entertaining aspects which give good fun to fans because they wait for this event desperately right now predicting about results is not easy because many teams are preparing good for this event and want to have better result and many players are going to play their last mega event specially two legendary players of this era Messi and Ronaldo are at the top.

Just because of this many fans are having something special feelings about this World Cup which is going to play first time in the Middle East here most chances Argentina and Brazil are hot for this event, and they are looking for challenging European dominance which is having big impact and strong hold for last two decades.
1612  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The US government is targeting mixers. Are BTC mixers next? on: August 09, 2022, 07:24:12 PM
Mixers are made to increase privacy and keep the transaction anonymous to keep them away from getting tracked by the governments, so, that's very normal to see the governments and not only the US government targeting mixers, because they want to track people as much as they can and mixers are agaist it, that's why it's not surprising to see governments are trying to shut down the bitcoin mixers soon. Generally, it's not new to see the government of the USA is against the mixers.
Not only to avoid getting tracked by the governments but also by some people and companies especially if they did something shady. This news is not new but there are other countries before U.S that did the same thing to the mixers.

I remember some users are worried that popular mixers such as chipmixer are now going to be next but luckily they have survived but I don't know about this one. Maybe they still can since the one that U.S ban there are eth based mixers but mixers like chipmixer are I think for bitcoin. We can add another question and that is; will the privacy coins' next? Their brand name which is "privacy" says it all.
1613  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Avalanche [AVAX] can really get a famous platform for DeFi, store of value + NFT on: August 09, 2022, 03:26:00 PM
Avax has a great potential but you can go so far with just potential, they need to find a way to attract a ton of projects under their chain. I am not saying there are none, because there are a lot of them in small caps, but look at ethereum, there are literally tokens over a dozen of them in top 100 with ethereum blockchain.
Potential projects with me are in bear market, at bottom price, I consider them as potential ones for my portfolio. I don't care much about how their team will develop new technologies in future. It is not necessary for my decision. I don't speculate what they can achieve in future.

Price falls deep enough and is in accumulation phase that is where I will consider to participate in. I don't wait for their technology upgrades to take profit. Just news or whatever that can bring the price up, I will exit and it is enough for me.

I don't hold it too long and feel headache with it.
If you don't care about the coin's development then you are presenting yourself as a bad investor but you still have a taste despite that because you pick the coins which has a potential already. Those coins can recover and do better for some time but if they don't try hard and develop then their value can't go higher or there is a chance that they will collapse.

@el kaka what you mean is potential alone is not enough but they need to show that the people that choose them are right for choosing them. I wouldn't wonder why many top projects choose eth. It is because it's more secure and advanced so don't compare avax to it but avax can surely compete with other altcoins.
1614  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you assess the value of Bitcoin? on: August 09, 2022, 08:55:42 AM
Hi all,

How do you (personally) decide when Bitcoins are a buy?
when I decided to buy bitcoin where when my finances were ready, like now I think it's the right time to pay for buying bitcoin in a month I set aside funds to buy bitcoin even though it's only 20$ but I'm sure when the market improves I can benefit from my investment
Yes of course, because you can't possibly buy a bitcoin without a money with you but first you gotta have them in your hands. Better if we buy btc once we still have a money and we shouldn't say that we will only invest later because we can use the money in other things which aren't that beneficial for you in the long run. Anyway, what you are doing there is called dca.

It's when someone allocates some money per month without really minding if what is the price of bitcoin is, because their only aim is to stack more bitcoin and then sell them one bitcoin reach a really high price like 100k or more. You shouldn't under estimate 20 usd but that's already a good amount and there are even some that invest lower than that.
1615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Think New Casino Should Partnered With Bounty Managers To Gain Trust? on: August 08, 2022, 08:51:41 PM
Some form of promotion done by a casino/sports betting platform gives more visibility and trust. This trust can be seen even high when the promotion is done through a trusted manager of the community. When the participants were paid in their own gambling site account, these users will initially give a try and further spread the word if they feel satisfied with the performance.
The gambling casino's can hire trusted members here to start their signature campaign but i will not trust that the casino is a good one based on only this factor. For me, if a trusted campaign manager manages a gambling site campaign, i will be sure that the funds are escrowed and there will be no problem in the management of the campaign , however to trust the gambling site, we need the feedback from the players and their experience playing on the site.
This is true. Remember rose? A long time and trusted member here. He/she manage a new casino and then it turned out to be a scam later on. On your second sentence, you are saying that funds for the campaign must be escrowed by another member and not by a reputable manager?

Maybe that's better since not all trusted managers are clean but I think some are exposed here already that they are doing some shady acts in the background. Not all feedback are accurate so if I were you I will also try the gambling site myself and compare my reviews to the others but if we aren't totally sure on how to judge the site then waiting for more feedback can help.
1616  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bullish VS Bearish on: August 08, 2022, 08:33:13 PM
Perhaps, we don't know which I agree this might happen, but that was the worse scenario ever and when people are hopeless about Bitcoin. But as to see that the interest of the crowd is growing, adoption is increasing, and more development, it was very unlikely to see Bitcoin will fall that bad.
Well, optimistic people will keep positive about the future of Bitcoin but those who live in doubt will remain doubtful forever.
Bitcoin will definitely stay high now, and I do not think that it will drop that badly at all. People who think that there is a chance bitcoin drop badly are the people who do not trust bitcoin and not fully understand it. I personally do understand it and I think it is going to be doing just fine.

Yeah, there are some drops time to time but realize that all those big drops always comes after a huge increase. We were at around 7k at the start of 2020, and peaked at 68k during 2021, so what if we dropped to 18k at bottom? That's fine, it is still 2.5x bigger than where we were just 2 years ago, if you invested during that time, you should be fine. Just as you would be fine if you invest right now.
1617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: August 08, 2022, 08:18:08 PM
Let's just hope that this doesn't happen for Barcelona. Otherwise not much thing will chance for the La Liga. This would be like a hindrance ahead of them for reaching the title a little easier than before. Barcelona and Xavi must have already thought about this. I think they would solve this likely problem for this league. Because they must be targeting to be very successful in not only the Champions League but also the La Liga. They can't make simple mistakes now.
It will happen. Think about how much la liga would be hated as a management if they declined it, they would be losing a lot of teams a lot of money as well. Barcelona fighting for a title means that general la liga tv rights income will be higher, and when it is higher that means we are going to see every team get some money. Sure Real Madrid wouldn't want them to be good, but everyone else would want them to be good for sure.

This is why I do not think that it will change to any better or worse, I think they will be accepted into the team and registered, so that they will fight for a title and make the whole league even more fun to watch globally all around the world.
1618  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador claim bitcoin attracts tourists right or wrong? on: August 08, 2022, 07:49:05 PM
There might be a boom in the tourism sector of El Salvador because of bitcoin being legal tender over there as people from across the globe wants to test this up like paying at street foods and big restaurants with just one scan and use of LN walllets.Frankly saying then btc has helped El Salvador recovered in many ways and making progress in economy section also as you see tourism boost foreign reserves of the country.
I think they didn't expect that this can happen. It's amazing how they benefit in bitcoin, not only from making their lives more easier but also from this.

If only some countries know this earlier then I think they will also rush to be the first that will make btc a legal tender but it's not too late yet because there are countries that are too far from El Salvador and even if people are itchy to visit them and try this new trend, they will doubt and end up not doing it but if there are countries that does the same thing and are closer to them then they will surely go for that instead to lessen the travel cost but it would be better if their own country join this trend too.
1619  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which one do you think its more healthy for a project on: August 08, 2022, 09:02:29 AM
Most especially new projects do you think its healthy to rush things up or take a lot of time and gradually release updates and follow roadmaps slowly? There are some complains that most projects aren't following the exact timing on their roadmap and some even takes this is Red Flag.
I think that the dates seen on the road maps are only an estimation but they can't be accurate. This is the reason why sometimes we are seeing delays and there are times when the development seems to be fast. It's hard to judge if you are only focusing on these things.

For me, as long as the team members are honest and dedicated for the success of their project, I will understand if there are delays but I will be glad if the developments are fast enough. I won't think negatively. For some, maybe they can see delays as a red flag and then when the developments are too fast, they think the teams are rushing their work and this affects the quality of the project.
1620  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Ravencoin - is there a future in this? on: August 07, 2022, 08:02:00 PM
There is one thing I know about ravencoin and that's the ability to follow bitcoin price as it moves up, so if you can get some ravencoin at 0.02$ or 0.03$ and bitcoin goes to 100k in future your ravencoin will also surge a lot, this is why I like ravencoin.
I think that wasn't a secret anymore. Bitcoin is the main controller of all cryptos in the market so whatever happens to its price, others can also follow with it. I do believe that btc can soon reach 100k so buying and then mining some raven coin is a good idea to do.

@OP that's a sad story, missing a good opportunity but don't worry because a lot of us here do also experience that but maybe not specifically in raven coin but on bitcoins and other top cryptos. All I can say is don't give up and don't down yourself too much because this wasn't the end. I think that raven coin isn't a bad coin like meme coins and other hyped coins so there's still a chance that it can recover and pump up.
