I never think November is the worst month for crypto newbies especially if they want to invest in crypto. I mean they came at the right time as the price of crypto has dip a lot over the last 1 year, in fact it is very possible they could make a lot of profit in the long term if they started investing during last November.

But of course there is a valuable lesson to be learned from this mess especially they need to keep their eyes open about the risks that exist in the crypto space especially when they trust a centralized exchange 100% without a doubt of the bad possibilities. Of course they will learn and then they will also know that a centralized exchange is not a safe depository wallet in the long term. Luna and FTX should be the reason why they can't 100% believe in crypto and something centralized. There is always a risk even if they invest in bitcoin but don't know how to store it safely.

It's true that there were some duplicates on the same topic and discussion during the World Cup, but if you think it's a problem and a moderator needs to act on it, please report the thread. Let the moderators decide, but I think it's actually very possible the moderators have noticed even without this thread in the meta.

In this case, not all threads with the same topic are needed. Everyone can concentrate on one thread for discussing the World Cup, but for thread like thread owned by hilariousandco, it can be excluded.

But will that solve the problem? No, there are always problems especially regarding spam.

Don't be in a hurry to come to a conclusion because it is very possible that what you think is actually not what is the fact.
Indeed, there are some traders or investors who are unable to do analysis or research before investing, but by having basic knowledge about trading and investing, they are also said to have something to strive for. Buy low and sell high is the foundation of successful trading and investing, especially if they are confident and willing to invest in bitcoin instead of altcoin.

My one thought on investing and trading, investors and traders just need to know how the market works and how they can make a profit. One fact is that if they want to be long-term holders then maybe a really detailed analysis is not really needed, especially if the asset of choice is bitcoin.

Newcastle still has to struggle to maintain their good performance considering they still seem to have many weaknesses compared to other competitors. Newcastle are more likely to drop points against top teams due to quality factors and technical strategy, but if the players play very well together then they are sure to get a good result.

Beating a top team is not an easy task, but it is very possible with good teamwork and a solid defense. I still have a lot of doubts about Newcastle, they just don't seem ready for a perfect season.

I don't think so, Morocco have some good stats compared to Portugal and that is when they make counter attack. It's just that Morocco failed to take every opportunity there was to score a goal, but that's normal because the game's tension was very high and the focus was tight on defense.

Morocco were very brave in the first half before they scored. Their performances were good and they didn't do much wrong. Their strategy is to score goals and defend and counterattack to threaten the opponent's defense or add more goals. Luckily Morocco managed to score first and they started to switch to defense because Portugal pressed very hard. The Moroccan defense is really good and difficult to penetrate, but Portugal with the quality of their players also came close to scoring quite often but unfortunately Yassine Bounou really saved them all very well.

It makes more sense to expect a profitable investment to change living standards in 5 to 10 years than to work your whole life in a job that is increasingly hated because of its ridiculously low salary. Most people can afford to work 20 to 30 years for a company that pays them a subpar salary, but it would be very strange for them not to be able to wait for their investment to provide a commensurate return in 10 years.

Many people complain about the low salary they get from real jobs, but unfortunately they never find a way to change their economic status to become more prosperous with investment. I'm talking about a lot of people outside the forum or other than the crypto community, which makes no sense when I have to hear their complaints day after day while they have no choice but to endure and accept reality.

So far I am really grateful for what I have earned and invested. I haven't come to the conclusion that status is to damn to think about, but the more I ignore it and enjoy whatever I get today the more enjoyable life becomes. So maybe in the end status is bullshit, but I think a lot of people have gone crazy chasing a better status.

There is no mystique, no absolute luck, trading and investing is something that should be based on your knowledge, analysis and strength of funds. The more knowledge you have about investing, know how the market works, know how to do analysis, then everything is very possible to get. After all, the price of this crypto asset is very volatile, so this can be both profitable and detrimental, so there is no certainty whether this investment will make you a billionaire or even go bankrupt.

Investment and trading should also be something that should not be forced. You can't invest blindly without being able to have good emotional control when the market doesn't match your expectations. Patience and emotional management are two important things that can really help you get good returns when your investment assets become more valuable.

I hope I understood something from the quote above, especially about the time it takes to achieve success in investing. Not everyone will succeed from their investment within 1-5 years, most require a longer time, namely 10-30 years. However things can be different when we invest in bitcoin especially when they invest heavily on down cycles. I would think investors do well to earn good returns if they are willing to be long term holders or when they are taking advantage of price cycles.

I believe bitcoin investing will provide good returns if we take advantage of down cycles. I mean when the correction has reached 70% since ATH, then this is the best time for investors to take profits by investing more. Accumulation can be thought, buy on the dip and obviously these are the best of times.

If Spain's defeat in the round of 16 against Morocco is called a coach's mistake, then whose fault is Portugal's defeat to Morocco in the quarter-finals? Is it because of the coach's mistake for not trusting Ronaldo in the main line-up or because Morocco is better?

Again and again, Yasin Bounou is one of the best goalkeepers in the World Cup and he really has to win the golden gloves this time. His composure, confidence, mentality and skills really need to be appreciated. There have been a lot of saves from him in this match, of course I think he is the best in his position, no two.

There were still 45 minutes left in the second half and it looked like Portugal would make the difference. Portugal are statistically superior to Morocco, especially in possession, but Morocco excel with the chances they create to score.

Actually, Portugal had to avoid conceding first tby Morocco, but it was very difficult because Morocco kept pressing them. I was looking forward to the second half, but it looks like Morocco will be more defensive than the first half.

Of course, I know that nothing is impossible in football and no matter how low Morocco's ranking on FIFA is, they also have a chance to win.

Football is a team game, so when the team works well together and plays well they have a chance to win. However, the probability of victory will be predictable based on the quality of the players they have, and here Portugal clearly has a high advantage in terms of the quality of its players. But I don't think Portugal will underestimate Morocco, they shouldn't especially after Morocco knocked out Spain.

After Spain was eliminated in a penalty, all other teams including Brazil and the Netherlands also had to be eliminated in a penalty shootout. The difference is that Spain was eliminated in the round of 16, while Brazil and the Netherlands were eliminated in the quarter-finals.

So of course the next two matches between Portugal vs Morocco and England vs France are really difficult to predict. There is a possibility of the same scenario, but I don't expect it in Portugal vs Morocco.

The Netherlands struggle ended, Argentina won and qualified for the semi-finals against Croatia. Congratulations to Argentina, I appreciate their hard work in this match. This match really drained a lot of energy because the winner must be determined until the penalty shootout. Emiliano Martínez is the savior with his 2 penalty saves, he is really living the Argentine dream at this time. I hope they will reach the final in this World Cup, anything is possible.

I will try not to fall for futures trading although some strategies can be profitable too. Right now I tend to focus on long term investing rather than trading, but I can still take advantage of trading something if I have good momentum. Futures trading is indeed profitable, but the risk will be very high for those who do not know how to control their emotions and are too greedy. Ignore futures trading, this is my current way of staying focused on long term goals.

The world cup is getting crazier in the quarter-finals especially because there are many matches to be decided by penalties. Brazil lost on penalties against Croatia, and now the same scenario is very likely for Argentina against the Netherlands.

I think Argentina will also be out today following Brazil. The two teams drew each other and haven't scored a goal in extra time at the moment, so now there's only 15 minutes left before going into the penalty shoot-out. If it comes to the penalty round, then I think the Netherlands will win.

It's not as bad as it sounds, and you have been honest about what your goals really are. I never thought that you would be blamed for trying to get merit to qualify applying for signature campaign, but you may want to review the thread rules before submitting your application.

You will get merit if the quality of your post is really decent, meaning that without applying anywhere you will also get it because people will appreciate your quality, not your wishes. The merit system is useful for assessing the quality of user posts, but not all posts will be rewarded with merit because the distribution of merit is very subjective among users. So you just need to try to post something quality, and I think only that will help you get merit.

As a Real Madrid fan I can truly say that Barcelona's attempt to compete in Laliga is neither coincidence nor luck. Barcelona has proven that they are better than Real Madrid at the moment and that is proven by the points they have earned in their last 14 matches.

In Laliga there is no stronger team than Barcelona especially after they only conceded 5 goals in 14 matches, that is Barcelona's good record at the moment. I admit that Barcelona have improved a lot this season, but unfortunately they fell short in the Champions League. Barcelona is a strong team right now based on these statistics, they hold a good record so far especially regarding the number of goals per game, ball possession, shots on target, lowest conceded and so on. Player statistics are also amazing, I must admit that.

If previously Chelsea could consider Aubameyang whose quality is not comparable to Ronaldo's, then I think Chelsea can also consider Ronaldo for at least 2 seasons. Short-term contract shouldn't be much of a problem for Chelsea and Ronaldo so I think he's still good for the Premier League especially for teams that need a striker.

But I don't know if Chelsea are interested in signing Ronaldo or not, but his attitude with Manchester United at the end of his contract seems to have been Chelsea's consideration before offering him a contract. So Ronaldo's current situation is really difficult, but he's still a striker worth relying on.

Price volatility is a dynamic for bitcoin, and it's important because that's the only way traders and investors make profits. I can't imagine bitcoin being a stable asset in the future even if adoption becomes widespread, and I don't think that stability will be with bitcoin but its volatility is very likely to decrease.

Price volatility cannot be eliminated in bitcoin because bitcoin is a decentralized asset. No one can control the price in the market but manipulation is possible by those with strong financial power. But that's not a problem for bitcoin as a whole because bitcoin is basically freedom.

OP, you should know that bitcoin was created as a currency or means of payment. Bitcoin is a new currency that you can use for unlimited transactions, it is not controlled by any government and authority and is completely decentralized. If you don't agree to recognize it as currency, that's fine because you may have other options for making transactions. The fact is bitcoin is not the only currency accepted in this world and bitcoin is not the main currency, so bitcoin should be an alternative currency for anyone who needs it and supports it.

Governments can certainly consider bitcoin as a currency and adopt it, that's because they know what its advantages and advantages are over fiat. Even if they will never do away with fiat, then they know what bitcoin's economic value is.
