Yeah, I heard lot of times "bitcoin is dead" but it is not though. Bitcoin is here to stay no matter what, it may tumbled but it keep backing up over the years and proving critics wrong. Some "experts" we go down to $10k? Heck no, bitcoin just doesn't care all of it predictions, after all we shattered to $24k this week and will continue to rise up soon.
Opinions from experts can only be read without having to be believed wholeheartedly because for me personally who never imagined about death for Bitcoin will still see Bitcoin as a valuable asset and also as an asset that can still be invested by many people with a specific purpose. And if this week Bitcoin is able to be at $24k, then there is still another possibility in the next week for a higher price than that.
Well, I'd only just listen to these people who think that Bitcoin will die, I hereby respect their wrong opinion and beliefs as I know that they soon realized that they are wrong. So many influential people talking negatively before but guess what, when Bitcoin hits the new ATH they have gathered and talked about how to invest. An absolute change will come and those who say it is dead will invest in the end. We can really hear a lot of drama in market.

It seems to me that these experts all have a good understanding of how bitcoin works. While they are aware that they are wrong, since they are not able to buy bitcoin at a low price, they are envious of those who invest in bitcoin, and they strive to find a way for others like them not to buy bitcoin.

They are stubborn and do not accept the fact that many people will be richer than them because these people are holding a lot of bitcoins.

How can a newbie invest in good altcoins? I know about BTC and ETH but I think I can make more money from altcoins instead of BTC and ETH, I did my research and I have a few projects in mind but I don't know if they are worthy..

Avalanche, Mina protocol, Phala network and Aleph Zero to name a few

Providing that you have done your research and have not listened to anyone's temptation, there is nothing wrong with you. I just want to remind you that investing in altcoins is not a bad thing, but high returns come with high risks. Nothing is absolutely safe in the market, especially with altcoins. Investing is a risky business, so always consider before investing, be ready to take risks with your decisions.
1763  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is the possibility Bitcoin will rise before the end of the year ? on: July 21, 2022, 03:49:14 AM
There is no doubt that Bitcoin is going to go up in the future but not this year. I think there is still a lot of the bear season left to go and bear season will not end so soon. Looking at the chart combined with the world situation there is no indication that bitcoin will grow by the end of the year. If we were to go into a recession, then things would get worse rather quickly.
The bull season will not begin until the halving has taken place, so there will be no bull season. That was my thought.
1764  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hold your bag when you can on: July 21, 2022, 03:38:59 AM

I don't think this is the reason for the bull market of the past few days. News that banks freeze people's assets is nothing new and it has happened many times before. It happens not only in China but also in many other countries.

I bet these people who had money in that Chinese bank are now regretting it and wishing they had bitcoins instead. Bitcoin is the only money that cannot be taken from you. It can be manipulated when it comes to the price but you don't have to sell into the manipulation. You can wait it out like so many bitcoin OGs did in the past.
When all the dust comes down and all the FUD disappears you'll have more value in your portfolio than you had a cycle ago.

Funny thing. In that reddit post someone commented with "Not your tank, not your money" Cheesy
So true.

Unfortunately, that isn't going to happen, since China has banned all things Bitcoin related and it's just not going to happen. There is no way Bitcoin can be there to save everyone from their problems.

1765  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: July 20, 2022, 07:35:01 PM
Having serious trouble in t20i and Test formats but doing amazing job in ODI is surely good from them, but they need to go on grassroots for all formats which will give them better results
A few days ago the enthusiasm of the cricketers that was seen in Bangladesh cricket is disappear. There is some kind of contradiction in the team which will hamper their cricket. They played well in ODIs against West Indies but as the T20 World Cup is around the corner, they should have a quick communication with everyone involved in the team.
Now we have less than three months, and they have no enough time for settling things in this short period, but they can manage for long run because things could be settled properly can give them some better results in future if they want to go ahead as better team in this era where too many associates looking for better place, and they are declined without any solid reason in this format.
As they are having franchise league which is helping many countries for having new and quality talented players they can produce as well but for this surely need better policy and coordination because without team management nothing is possible and without this all they have never been good and strong for this format which is having bright future instead of ODI.

I am quite sure that Bangladesh is not going to do very well in this T20 World Cup. T20 has never been one of the strong points of Bangladesh. They have always been better in the one-day international format compared to the T20 and test format. And one thing that causes problems for the Bangladesh team is that whenever a player is playing better in one format, the selectors seem to give him the chance in the other two formats quite quickly. And then, obviously, sometimes that player cannot perform as well in the other two formats. This also ends up hurting his form in that one format, which he was skilled. So that over-eagerness must be avoided. But that’s the problem for long-term selection and they don’t have enough time for that anyway.
1766  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin may have bottomed out – The worst may be over for the Crypto markets on: July 20, 2022, 03:02:18 AM
Bitcoin has dropped from $69k to $20k and now bitcoin is only up to $22k. People have started saying that the downtrend is over and the uptrend is coming. Many people have mistakenly thought and will pay a very heavy price if they are not sober at this time.

I will not be convinced that the worst is over and that the bottom is at 17K unless we return to levels above $32,000, which has been a strong resistance level for a long time, any level lower than that means we are below 20K.

The recent rise will not be positive unless it breaks 23800 and the price continues to rise to break 28k dollars.
Unless we break through the $30k resistance, we have every right to believe the worst of the bear season has passed, and everyone can think of something brighter.
Bitcoin is trading at $23k and it could still drop back below $20k anytime, the gap is not too far away.
1767  Economy / Economics / Re: Remain decentralized with crypto or centralized with banks. on: July 20, 2022, 02:46:42 AM
We have bitcoin on our side but we can't deny the comfortability that banks gives us on our daily lives. I myself have some money on my bank but it isn't that much since I don't fully trust them, It's just the life would be easier.
Yes, we still need their services and we can't deny that. In my opinion even though bitcoin is better adopted but basically bitcoin is not to replace this fiat system. Bitcoin will also not be a competitor but the advantages it has will be an alternative choice for us.
The cryptocurrency is an added service to give comfort and trust for the users against the traditional banking system. However the independent usage of bitcoin for now is low as known people accept it. The usage of having a wallet to hold bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is more secure than having our funds in bank, but to make cash in our hands to bitcoin we are in need of bank. This makes decentralised crypto and centralized banks a needed one.

It is a bit of a problem that the bank is pretty bad at protecting our privacy or that the storage of our assets won't be safe because we don't keep the key but banks are indispensable in our lives. We still need it, if your business is in trouble no one will be able to lend you bitcoin to overcome the difficulty but the bank can be the place for you to mortgage the property and solve that problem.

I will store my assets in crypto and the bank will still be a tool for us to convert assets to fiat money for the convenience of daily life.
1768  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you look down on Bushy or undeveloped areas? on: July 20, 2022, 02:29:21 AM
Have you ever or come across friends/ family members feel regretting of not buying land property in an undeveloped area that later turned  a city after some years, houses/land property becomes very expensive.  Time without numbers of have always heard many people how they gave histories about some areas when it was coming up land was sold for a very little amount of money,  then they had opportunity to get land for a penny but not interested of it because it was bushy and not developed.  

After some years the place gets developed  by people who endured and quickly moved in no matter how it was bushy and undevelope. Most of the people I meet making complain like this never had opportunity again to afford a piece of small land again because of much responsibility of life.

It seems very painful because of the amount of money spent for renting a house annually.  Do you think buying your first landed property in a bushy area is a good investment for the future.

We should never look down on an undeveloped area, because a few years later the situation will definitely change. My own parents regret that
when they had a large income they were never interested in buying property in an undeveloped area. Even though as time goes by, one by one
the areas that have not developed are developing very rapidly,  and even the increase in property prices was very significant. After all, investing
in property is very profitable, especially buying property in undeveloped areas is much more recommended. Besides the price is usually more
affordable, the profit generated can also be very large, the most important thing is to be patient waiting  for the price of the property to rise.
This is actually a lesson for all of us, if our finances are limited and do not have the ability to buy property in developing areas, then consider
buying a property in an undeveloped area. It will make our future better, because property prices will always go up.

Simply put, we just have to think like this, the population will keep growing and the land will stay the same and no more can be created. Therefore, investing in real estate will definitely be profitable. The undeveloped areas have not received as much attention as the central areas, but once the central areas run out of space, it is imperative that we have no choice but to move to the bushy areas.

It is natural for them to raise prices but it will take quite a while, you can buy undeveloped areas but should determine it will be a long term investment.
1769  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 19, 2022, 10:39:52 AM
That's certainly true... I don't see Bayern as a favourite for the Champions League either, because there are plenty of other teams that can win... But for the Bundesliga I think they are better than Borussia Dortmund and other clubs... Somehow I have no doubt they will win the new season!
Especially after Lewandoski left Bayern Munich, wouldn't this decrease their performance a bit? Unless they get another new player who is totally worth it although this isn't easy.
To win the UCL in the next season is quite impossible for Bayern, many giant clubs from other leagues have more potential, especially Real Madrid and City. So at least they can defend their Bundesliga title.
Remember Sado mane was signed for Bayern, Lewandoski is a legend no doubt but he can still be done without. It is up to the head coach and the players to decide if lewandoski's transfer to Barcelona will affect their performance next season. It is still too early to predict who wins the Champions league and the Bundle liga title. For now all big clubs including Bayern have equal possibilities but towards the middle of the season we will know which club did the best signings and which club were able to manage the stars they bought.

You are right, It is not possible to predict which team will win the title now. We have seen the PSG team perform erratically despite having many star players in the squad. And so the team should not only have talented players, these players should adapt to the team. Performance must have stability and consistency. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to win the title. To stabilize the team, the coach must play an important role.

At the World Cup, Argentina will be in Group C along with Poland, Mexico and Saudi Arabia. If we see an opponent like this then surely Argentina will go through to the next round, but when I consider winning the title I am not very sure. Because even, representatives from South America in my view Brazil is the best team because even though Brazil and Argentina are both unbeaten but Brazil still has a better winning record than Argentina during the qualifying round. With a record like that, although this is the last chance for Messi but still, Argentina is not the best in this world cup event.
Well... no one claimed that Argentina is the best team at the world cup. Without an argument, Brazil has the highest chances of winning the cup this time around. What favors Argentina is the recent form and presence of Lionel Messi. And since it is probably his last world cup, I am sure that the Argentine team would give their best attempt. Irrespective of the betting odds, this is the best squad Argentina has sent to the world cup ever since 1986. But I don't know whether that is enough to lift the trophy this time.

Brazil team has many star players. And almost all players of the Brazil team are with some renowned club. As a result, their players are becoming more experienced. So Brazil is definitely the favorite for the World Cup. But Argentina's team is not weak. Their forwards are strong. On the other hand, the defense has talented players like Lisandro Martínez. So the possibility of becoming world champions is not low.

Sri Lanka, from a rice exporting country to a country without enough food to live on, just because of the stupid policies of a corrupt and selfish government. I hope the nations of the world and the IMF will support Sri Lanka through this terrible period.

The Sri Lankan government is said to be negotiating with the largest creditor, China, for a support package of 4 billion in the hope that everything will go smoothly and the people of Sri Lanka will overcome this crisis.
1772  Economy / Economics / Re: The fear of Bitcoin monopoly in El Salvador on: July 19, 2022, 04:42:43 AM
I can understand that El Salvador embraced Bitcoin but their way of investing was so haphazard as if they had never consulted anyone who is an expert in financial analysis or good at reading charts.

I remember that there was a chart of the purchase dates and it all seemed random without a solid economic plan as the price collapsed several times after the purchases.

Currently and historically, the price is ideal for investment, but we did not hear more investments, which reflects the economic situation in that country.

I'm sure that the president has access to councilors in regards to managing the country's finances. But you've got to understand that no one can predict what will happen to the price. You can be the biggest financial advisor in the country, you still don't have a crystal ball in your pocket. Anyways, I don't think the 1771 BTC the country owns represent a significant amount in its treasury.

Anyways El Salvador is not in a 'rosy' situation having 82.6% of GDP in debt. For every $1 of GDP they have to pay around 5 cents just to cover the interest (~5%). In comparison, the United States only pays ~1.6% of GDP in interest expenses.

Bitcoin is unpredictable, it can be said that they are unlucky to buy at higher than current prices and i also believe they have a plan for the current market situation. We are retail investors and we are aware of the volatility of bitcoin, then as president and have a financial advisory board El Salvador will definitely do better than us.

This is an ideal time to buy more bitcoins but given the world situation, I think countries will focus their resources on solving upcoming difficulties rather than investing. Like us, things are very difficult so everyone will limit their investments during this period and will focus on dealing with daily difficulties.

Hello guys
Are you guys really getting paid from the Bounty campaigns these days? What are you earning on an average per week? How many campaigns are you working in?
I think alot of changed since 2018.
You are absolutely right, many of the bounty campaigns that I participated in from last 2019 until now have not paid. counted only 2 who have paid from the 5 campaigns that I follow. for today and so on, I don't know whether I'm paid or not, but I will still follow the bounty campaign.

Not all bounty campaigns will pay you, choosing bounty campaigns is like researching new projects to join. There will be real projects and scam projects so when participating in a bounty campaign you should also do your research. My recommendation is to only join the campaigns managed by the reputation managers on the forum, limit participating in too many campaigns at once, it will not help you get more rewards.
1774  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: FUD Has Finally Taken Its Toll on Me on: July 18, 2022, 02:29:56 AM
Three weeks ago, I liquidated 10k from my stock portfolio into my bank account. My plan was to dump it into Bitcoin as soon as it dipped under 17k. But now, for the first time since I got into crypto investing in 2017, I'm having major doubts.

I'm beginning to wonder whether Bitcoin has a long-term future, now that much of the world's nations are caught up in this 'climate' hysteria, and want to ban proof-of-work protocols, like Bitcoin, which they claim is harmful to the environment.

For example, the EU recently held a vote to ban proof-of-work mining across member nations*. Thankfully, the vote failed, but this wasn't the first time they attempted it, and I don't think it'll be the last. Eventually, as younger and more 'progressive' individuals enter positions of political power in Europe, my guess is that they'll succeed. And, once they do, the other chimpanzees in countries around the world will follow them, potentially causing the demise of our beloved cryptocurrency.

Thoughts?

Assuming bitcoin will be banned from mining in EU it doesn't mean bitcoin will also be banned from mining in other countries. EU is only part of the world not the world is part of EU, you are overestimating EU.

Like China before, once the country with the largest number of miners in the world, after the ban was issued, the miners moved to other countries and the mining did not stop. There will always be countries that see the potential of bitcoin and they are ready to welcome it like El Salvador.

To start my dream of becoming a blockchain developer, I think it's best to sign up for a class at the center or an online course in programming languages. From the basics as a programmer, you can develop yourself on the path you choose as a blockchain developer.

You will have a hard time becoming a blockchain developer if you start with bitcoin and blockchain while you do not know anything about programming languages such as C, Python...

It's hard to understand Sterling's departure from City. I'm talking about a football player who has won four League titles, an FA Cup Cup and a Champions League runner-up. These are from City time. Just when he's approaching the top of his game. City got a good transfer fee with one year left on the player's contract. But that cannot be reason enough. Because they lost a very good football player. I admit he has been unhappy lately but he would have stayed with the team if he had been given more time. I hope his new team gets a good career at Chelsea.
Rahim Sterling has served his purpose at Manchester City, and now is the time to leave and accept a new challenge since there is no point in remaining in a place where your service is no longer valued. Sterling departed for a fresh challenge because Manchester City had recently made new signings and all of those players needed playing time. I wish him nothing but success in his career.

I am thinking the same way. Rahim Sterling has been at Manchester City for 7 seasons. And he won several titles with Manchester City. And he is now 27 years old. This is the perfect time to take on new challenges. If he was older, he could not have gone to any good team. I hope he will adapt quickly to the new team Chelsea. And will improve his performance with the experienced Tuchel.
1777  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: July 17, 2022, 08:17:44 PM
Barcelona are probably trending everywhere. Its still a shock to me personally as the Bluagrana president, Joan Laporta have bring in vital players despite their pending debts. The team is currently down with financial instability and it's a censorious problem for the team. However, the president is proving beyond doubt that he's capable to manage the club and the Coach, Xavi is still fighting for a place to retain Frankie De Jong in his squad. Nevertheless, United have already reached agreement with the price tag but the former Ajax Midfielder might as well be staying in the team for another season.

It was really surprising to see Barcelona pulling off this transfer come true. No one in their right mind thought that Barcelona was able to get Robert Lewandowski especially after they had just executed a transfer worth probably 60 million for Raphinha. So Barcelona has spent 110 million euros on the transfer window in a matter of days. That's a luxury a lot of clubs with healthy financial situations cannot afford. Barcelona is making these transfers despite having debts worth billions of dollars. Now the only way Barcelona is able to make a substantial amount of money is they will have to win almost everything that there is to be won in the next season.
1778  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: July 17, 2022, 04:49:27 PM
How can you forget Nepal who is another good cricket side but never received icc attention just because they can't buy expats players ? ICC clearly is giving more preference to teams like Oman and UAE rather then focusing on such teams that are build completely from native players.
There is no doubt ICC current policies are killing teams which are going with their native countries, and they are completely failure to bring any solid policy for them which is never been ideal for spots authority like ICC they need to encourage these countries which are surely having better future in this game instead of favouring those are coming in game with adopted players and have no better infrastructure.

If they want to favour them then surely allow nearly five or six players but going with all 11 players from other countries and having status of adopted country is never been ideal situation which is surely bringing bad image and having negative impact on countries like PNG, Nepal and Kenya. In last few years now players from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are enjoying good in these adopted countries because they have good benefits from them just because of their better resources and native country players are going down.

Does Nepal hold talent hunts quite frequently? I don't think they do. Otherwise, they should have had a lot more players. A lot of young talented players in the pipeline. Nepal was a team that had a lot of potential if we just looked at it a few years ago. Nepal was playing quite competitively and it also was giving a lot of trouble to teams like Bangladesh, West Indies, Ireland, etc. But suddenly they just got lost in time. 

I think they will have to show a good performance again if they want to get noticed by the ICC and also have a little more funding. And they will not be able to perform well as long as they don't have good players of their own. And let's be honest, the people of the country are not going to let their kids play cricket as a profession if the money is not good.
1779  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin hit 100k or more in 2022? on: July 17, 2022, 02:43:01 PM
seeing the movement from the beginning of the year only once in March bitcoin can and is able to increase more, after that it doesn't look at all that bitcoin can increase and I am pessimistic that it will improve quickly especially to be able to reach $100K.
It's too hard $100K will be reached in 2022, I wouldn't really believe in that but always feel optimistic that good things will still happen for the bitcoin price this year. I have no doubts about bitcoin's future potential over the long term, but for the rest of the year I seriously doubt $50K or anywhere near the previous ATH will be achieved.

So $100K in 2022 still doesn't make much sense to me, but really no one knows for sure when $100K will be reached. I'm sure the next halving will have an impact on price increases, but at the moment the selling pressure is still very strong making it difficult to break the new resistance.

As far as we can tell, there is nothing we can do to predict when bitcoin will reach $100k, but we are only certain that bitcoin will reach 100k$ in the future. Honestly, I'm not optimistic at the moment, bitcoin won't rise anytime soon as bitcoin shows the possibility of a drop still happening this year. What I am waiting for will be a new bitcoin bottom rather than a bull run this year, I am waiting for bitcoin to drop in price to accumulate more of my bitcoin.
1780  Economy / Speculation / Re: How do we spot the crypto bottom? on: July 17, 2022, 02:34:07 PM
Where will be the bottom and where will be the highest, everyone wants to know this, but unfortunately no one can know. All are just predictions based on each investor's experience and knowledge. You shouldn't waste time looking for the bottom of bitcoin,  it will not give accurate results but just waste your time and miss the opportunity to buy bitcoins at a good price. Buy when you feel it's the right price for you and your goals.
