It's hard to be a beginner, but that's what people came from. Those experts now came as beginner back a few years ago.
They experienced failing with their investments. They've experienced getting scammed. They've experienced investing into wrong coins etc. etc. I can say that because I also experienced that thing back when I was a newbie (though I'm not an expert).

As a beginner, one mistake to be aware of isn't enough because you need to experience failure in order for you to become a successful investor. I can't say one mistake only because there are lots of mistake that beginners should be aware of. Investing into low market-cap coins, getting attracted by huge returns, picking a wrong exchange, following the wrong person, investing without proper knowledge, and so on, and so forth. I mean there are many mistakes that beginners should be aware of, but a beginner must experience most if not all of these so that, he knows what to do in the future.

When I was a beginner, I'm a bit lucky that I didn't experience getting scammed (because I watched videos before I invested, and I know which are scams and which are not), but I experienced having huge losses in trading, investing into wrong coins, investing into meme coins (which I shouldn't did), following different influences and investing into the coins that they're saying. There's a lot of mistakes that I've did in the past, but I learned from all of that. Though I can't say still that I'm a successful investor right now, but at least I know which are the things that I should avoid now.

This just shows how stupid a person can be while they're living.

TBH, I'm not completely surprised with that. I mean I've also saw people believing that Bitcoin will reach $100,000 in 90 days which is possible, but highly unlikely to happen. I've also saw people believing in the influencers that they're following to the point that they've become blinded already, and not thinking anymore, and just following what the influencer they are following will be saying. No surprise as to how people really thinks when it comes to investment. I find OP's post funny, but at the same time, scary because that shows how close-minded a person can be, and will just follow what they're so-called "GOD" is saying.

I believe in God, but to say that a "God" will tell you something like that? It's stupidity at it's peak TBH.
What's worse is that there are still people who are believing in this "prophecy". Why? Because it has been said by their so-called "God"?

I don't know what words I will be using to these people, but I just hope that they will realize that what they're following is wrong. I just hope that they will learn the reality. What I believe? When it comes to investment? I guess buy dividend stocks, or staking coins only.

Pakistan followed by Saudi Arabia, and Iran. They're the countries that choose to follow the BRICS, and choose to use another currency for their transactions which is the Chinese Yuan.

USD has been the world's reserve currency for over a century already and on average, it lasted an average of 96 years for the 2 past world reserve currency before they are being replaced which means that the USD surpassed the average already. Will it be replaced? I don't think so for a short amount of time, but de-dollarization will happen, but it will take a very long time for it to happen. Right now, there are no signs that BRICS are slowing down the process, and they are always moving forward to achieving their goal. Expect more and more news regarding BRICS, and their plans of ditching the dollar.

TBH, I don't if it's only me, but I want to see our world reserve currency getting changed when I'm still alive. I mean I already experienced a pandemic which happened only twice in my whole life (SARS and COVID pandemic), and now I also saw USD getting replaced.

There was a time that they are 4th on the standings, and there was a time where the Mavericks has a 96% chance that they will clinch the playoffs, but now they only have 6% chance of clinching. A drop of 90% in just a few months (Bleacher Report).

Not getting Brunson, giving away Finney-Smith, and Dinwiddie, and getting Kyrie Irving is their worst decisions that lead to this one. Now as for their remaining games, they will be having a hard time defeating the Kings, and I don't think that the Kings got beaten by a low-seeded team like Spurs will affect them, but they might choose not to play their key player in preparation for the playoffs. Overall, winning all 3 games for the Mavericks will be hard knowing that they only won 1 game out of their last 8 games.

I'm not expecting from them anymore, and Luka will be the only player who averaged 30+ PPG, 6+ RPG, and 6+ APG in a season that will miss the playoffs in NBA history.

That's the good thing about cryptocurrencies right now.

They've added a new source of income for freelancers, and the best part is that we can now work even we are staying at home. Of course not all who knows cryptocurrencies have jobs related to it, but there are still freelancers who wants to work from home, or at least use it as a side job aside from their main day-to-day job. Faucet sucks that's for sure.

Like you, I also broadened my knowledge about cryptocurrencies. Back when I was new to crypto, I always spend more than 5 hours watching documentaries about Bitcoin, and reading some blogs that is related to cryptocurrency. Overtime, I learned the basics of Bitcoin and crypto, how they are moving, how to pick which projects are scam or not etc. Not only that, but crypto is also the reason why I have another source of income today as like you, I'm also accepting online jobs that pays crypto like Bitcoin.

Trust and reputation.

I think these are the 2 things that making Binance strong and still one of the best centralized exchanges out there. Reputation because they've been one of the best and most popular exchanges right now in crypto space. Trust is I think the main reason why they are still at the top in terms of CEX, and because they're at the top, it's pretty obvious that the authorities will do what they can. If they find a loophole on the exchange, or the owner itself, they will do everything just to put it down. Many users are still using it (including me) because they trusted the exchange more than any exchanges out there. Maybe some find it way more convenient to use than other exchanges.

I watched the video you shared. The reporter is talking a bit exaggerated in the initial seconds of the interview with his words, but the whole interview is still good at least.
He himself was disappointed on his performance because it wasn't a knockout win, and now he wants to match-up against either Fury or Wilder? 3 words for him. Don't do it.

He just came back after a heartbreaking 2 straight loss against Usyk, and then he wants to fight champions like Wilder, and Fury? I mean he's a champion as well, but I doubt that he can defeat either of the 2. Even Wilder who has been known for his strong punches can be defeated against Joshua (at least at this time). Overall, I guess it would be better for him to fight other heavyweight boxers instead of challenging these 2, but if one of them materializes, then I will pick them over Joshua.

Well, they tried to sell the franchise, but no one accepted their offer, and in contrast, the Alaska Aces who just said that they will sell their franchise immediately bought it by the Converge FiberXers. Maybe the Blackwater choose to not sell it at all? It's a rumor, but a few years from now, I will not be surprised if Blackwater as well as other independent teams choose to sell their franchise because of how the PBA is right now, and how these independent teams are getting left behind.

Commissioner Marcial don't want to expand the league and add more teams because he wanted those bottom teams to compete equally with other top teams, but how is it possible if these big companies are milking them and taking their star player, and as an exchange, they will give some role players, draft picks, and cash (only a conspiracy ). If only the league is very transparent in terms of salaries of each player like what the NBA is doing, there's a chance that this might be prevented.

I bolded some of your post, because it might be a typo. Troy Rosario isn't on the TNT anymore, but on the Blackwater like @Sanitough said.

With the beef going on with RHJ and Brownlee, I will not be surprised if they will defend each other for the whole 48 minutes like you said. On CStand, they have Erram like you said, and they also have Chua who can defend the paint as well. As for Brownlee, there's a chance that Oftana, and even Khobuntin might defend him for some minutes because they're good defenders as well.

CStand and Aguilar are twin towers of the TNT and with that, they might be forced to put 2 big to defend the paint. It's good that the TNT has many good players who can just step up offensively when needed.

Speaking of playoffs or play-ins, this news coming from a reliable source is a proof that the Mavericks has a high chance that they will not clinch either of the 2. LINK

You are in the run for clinching the play-in tournament or a chance to at least enter the playoffs, but you are thinking of shutting down your 2 best scorers on your team? I mean why? This just shows that the Mavericks really gave up their chances of clinching the play-in tournament, and wants to move forward, rebuild the team, and remove what they need to remove. I saw a post a while ago saying that, the Mavericks are considering signing Kyrie Irving so that they can build a team around Luka and Kyrie, and for me, it's a good thing that they will. I mean having 2 all-star on your team increases your chances of winning the title instead of only 1. Well, better luck for them this season I guess.

I also saw this scenario for the Mavericks to clinch to the play-in tournament.
Take note that the Mavericks need to win all of their remaining games, then after that, it will all depends on the other teams whether they will enter or not. Just winning 3 straight games is hard for the Mavericks already.

You mean "symptoms of a gambler losing in gambling" right? Just basing on the 5 things that you shared.

Overall, the 5 things you shared might be symptoms of a gambler losing in gambling especially the 4th and the 5th one. The 4th one is just pretty straightforward. You lose in gambling, you might end up using more money to gamble and you lose again. As for the 5th one, obviously we will get frustrated if we incur losses in gambling unless we already accepted right from the start that the money that we used is already a loss money. Worst thing a gambler can do is to take his own life just because of the losses that he got in gambling.

There are many symptoms I guess, like the gambler is depressed, the gambler can't focus on the things that he is doing normally because he's thinking about his losses, etc. etc.

Playing safe often leads to missed opportunities. Remember that.

I'm not against investors who are playing safe, or conservative, but if you are a young investor (like at the 20-30's), you still have a good amount of time to recover your losses if you loss some of it because you still have energy to work. As you go older, that's the time where you will slowly adjust your risk appetite until the time comes that you will be a very conservative one (for me, I will only be a conservative investor when I turn maybe 55-60 years old).

As for borrowing money to invest into Bitcoin, I'm not saying that there's nothing wrong with like what most others are thinking because after all, it all depends on when you borrowed a loan and invest into Bitcoin. I'll give 2 scenarios.
1. If you borrowed when Bitcoin is at it's peak, and you immediately bought it, there's a high chance that you will lose your money into it therefore, you will have more problems because you are at a loss in investing into Bitcoin, but at the same time, you need to pay your loans + the interest of it.
2. If you borrowed when we are in a bear market, that would be better because there's a high chance that you bought Bitcoin at the bottom or near of it, and the upside to it is really high therefore, you can get profit in just holding it.

Having a loan to invest into Bitcoin isn't really a good thing at least for me because it all depends on when you bought Bitcoin.

Can I ask you OP? Did you experience trading already? Did you tried quitting your job, and invested a thousand dollar just to trade? Because from the looks of your post, I don't think that you've ever did it because you are saying things that realistically impossible.

Day trading is perfect for jobless people? How do you say so? Remember that even the experts aren't 100% winning on their trades, and their are still times that they're losing money. Just imagine you are a jobless person right now, tried to invest money into trading without proper experience, and all of a sudden you lost? What will you do after that? You will go again and find a job just to recover your losses in trading?

I'm not saying that the subject topic is wrong, but it's irrelevant at least for me. I mean why a jobless person prefer being jobless, and instead go day trading? Trading while having a main income is possible, so why not find a job while doing trading. After all, you aren't watching the charts 24/7 right?

Well, it's obvious that they are a business because if they're not, I mean how would large banks survive without any revenue at all. I did a quick search on how they are earning, and base on one website, I saw this: LINK

It's almost the same as those lending applications that we are seeing in the crypto space like Celsius, NEXO, etc. but the interest there is just way higher.

The problem right now is that, people have been taught that the best way to save their money is thru putting it in a bank. These banks taught those people to save their money in them because it's the safest way of saving money. People in the past are the ones who had this thinking of the best way of saving money is to put it into banks, and it has been passed from other people. TBH, most of the people who are using banks don't know that they are being used as a "cash cow" because why will the banks teach it to them that they will use their money to lend it out to borrowers.

I don't know if there's any solution to it, but it's good that I saved money in a different way, and for a different reason because I'm not saving just for the sake of saving, but I'm saving so I have money to invest with, and I will never put any money on banks unless it's an emergency funds. On the other hand, I think there's still good things that banks are providing to their customers. I just don't know what they are because I'm not using banks that much. Maybe the fact that you can get a loan from them as long as you have good credit is considered a benefit for the customer.

We already knew that Davis is capable of giving his team these kind of numbers. It's just that most of us forget that he is doing it because in our my mind, what we often thinks about him is his injuries. He's the main guy back when he is on the Pelicans and carried his team to the 8th seeded a few years ago, but got swept in the first round.

He got 40 points while Lebron got a triple double. It's good that Lebron isn't focusing that much on scoring anymore because he doesn't need to TBH. He has reliable team members who can step up when needed. Players like Reaves, Russell, and even Schroeder, Beasley, and Hachimura can step up offensively especially Rui on this game where he got a double-double 20 points and 12 rebounds.

Right now, they're at the 7th seed, but only 0.5 games behind the 5th seeded Clippers. Their remaining four games will be against Utah (twice), Clippers, and Phoenix. I'm pretty sure that they can beat the Jazz twice, but they might be having a hard time beating Clippers and Phoenix, but if they manage to win on them, I think there's a chance that they can get the 5th seed. Of course it will all depend on the remaining games of the Clippers and the Warriors.

According to some TA experts, the 200 EMA really is one of the indicators that they are using whether a particular market or coin really did change it's price movement, and in this case, it's above it already, so I expect that there is a trend reversal. Now you have lots of questions TBH, but I'll try to answer it (take note that I'm not an expert, but just an Average user here trying to share his opinions ).

Is it a good price to invest? Yes I think if you will hold it for 6 months to 1 year.
You can make a profit? I guess so. I mean we don't have any crystal ball to say it accurately because even though we've seen a trend reversal on the price movement of Bitcoin, we might see it go down anytime.

I'd still prefer Dollar-Cost Average than going at once.
What if you don't have enough money left, and all of the sudden the price of Bitcoin went down. What will you do? I already tried that days before WHO announced the pandemic last March 2020. We know what happened to Bitcoin at that time. It went from $8k to $4k in just a matter of days. I missed that opportunity bigtime.

Those coins that has a low market cap tends to give more than what Bitcoin can give in terms of profitability. I mean I don't want to recommend a particular altcoin, but in a bull run, we always see coins going x2 or x3 or even x5 or x10 depending on the situation. Overall, altcoins can give more profit, but more risky.

It might be. After all, this is also what happened after the 2018 "Year of Hell". Don't ask questions like this because we don't know the accurate answer for that. We are also waiting for it to happen, but like you we don't know when it will happen too.

Now what's the use case of that coin OP if you can share what's on your mind?

I mean if you will create a coin, you must know what's the purpose of that coin right? I can't think of any use case of that coin at all. If for some reasons, they will really create a coin, how will it benefit the forum? Who will be the team behind it? Will our administrators have time to manage that coin? You said that you will ask the moderators and admins about it? Well, good luck I guess.

Whenever I see the word "guarantee" in every investment, I always think that it's a scam because that's the word most of the scammers are using.
I'm not saying that Howeycoins is a scam just because they used the word "guarantee", but I'm just pertaining to that word.

Do you think that the experts now, those who have lots of knowledge with regards to Bitcoin now, didn't start as a beginner?

All of us started as a beginner. Yes it will take time for an average person to learn Bitcoin, but as a beginner, the only thing that you can do is to learn, learn and learn. There are so many information online that can help you. Just do it step-by-step because you might get overwhelmed with lots of information that you can see in the internet. I got overwhelmed one time when I was studying because of so many information, so many terms and so many words that I don't know, but I took time to learn. Cut the story short, I learned the basics now, and I'm just happy that I learned it.

Where can you get information? I think many users here already sent some links that will help you, so I will not add anymore. What I can only say is that, watch Bitcoin documentaries on Youtube. That's what helped me back when I'm starting aside from the fact that I'm reading as well. Just take your time, don't think that there will be a faster learning curve unless you have a mentor that will spoon-feed you with information.

Well, many of the boxing fans are waiting for this fight to happen for a long time, so I guess people will save money just to watch this fight.

I'm pretty sure that this will be an exciting match knowing that both of them are undefeated, and at the same time, they are rising stars on the own weight class. At the same time, it hasn't started yet, but many are already saying that this fight would be a candidate for a battle of year, and I guess I might agree with them just by looking on how they fight in their careers. As of this moment, Davis is the -240 favorite, while Garcia is the +200 underdog.

For sure, I will put a bet on this one, but TBH I'm having a hard time picking which one should I put my money with because both of them really can just knock their opponents out.

I also watched the game, and after that game, one of the cameraman focused the camera on Curry, and he is obviously feeling frustrated because of what happened, and knowing that he is free from the side, I would rather give the last shot to Curry than Thompson, and Curry has a faster release than him as well, so I expect that the remaining time is enough for him to make a final shot.

The Warriors are leading for most of the first half, and there was a time where they had a double-digit lead, but they can't hold that lead, and the Nuggets took advantage of it, got the lead, and winning the game eventually. One Nuggets player that stood out on this game was a rookie named Peyton Watson who only has 8 points & 5 rebounds, but his 3 blocks and some defensive stops against the Warriors was a big factor especially in the crucial minutes of the game.

Anyway, Splash Brothers only has a combined FG of 17/56, and only has 46 points. That's too bad knowing how good at them especially from threes where they only shot a combined 7/30. Well, it is what it is. Nuggets got their first win without Jokic. With how close the standings now in the West, I think I'll agree with you that there might be a tiebreaker in the 5th to 8th seed, but still it will depend on the outcome of their remaining games.

Looks like the Mavericks lost again in overtime on a close one. If only McGee sank those 2 free throws in with 0.4 seconds left in the game, that would've give them the victory, but instead, it went to overtime, and eventually lost the game.

On other games, the Grizzlies destroyed my parlay as they lost to the Bulls 128-107. The Bulls just outscored them in the 2nd half 75-39 after being down 15 at the end of the first half. DeRozan and Lavine lead their team scoring 77 of the total 128 points, and on the other hand, JJJ lead the Grizzlies with 31 points while Morant got 17 point triple-double.

2 teams got disappointed tonight. Spurs winning on the road against the top seeded Kings, and the Trail Blazers manage to win on the road as well against the Timberwolves. Both Kings and Grizzlies lost tonight while the top-seeded got their first win without Jokic against the Warriors.

Anyway, I got 2/3 on my bets, and I hope that all of us won their bets as well.
