Before all do you know John McAfee?
Do you know who this person is and you believe what it says.

Such high predictions we should not expect because they will only cause us failure. It is better for us to have a bit of a study on the price of bitcoin and let us not rely on those who claim to be the prophet to predict the price of bitcoin with no basis. Huh
Do not rely on other people, rely on yourself instead. Even though McAfee is a very well known tech guy, we should not still trust him in terms of his prediction because most of the predictions doesn't work since they don't have the enough evidences to prove that their prediction has a high probability. I agree that we should undergo self studying in order to make our own analysis and own prediction so if it goes wrong then we don't have anyone to blame but ourselves.
Many people today are so dependent on the predictions of popular personalities that they think there is enough evidence that their prediction is true and will happen. John McAfee also had a lot of predictions that proved wrong. So next year we will look forward to eating his own dick when his prediction will not reach $ 1,000,000 by end of 2020.
Relying on others for decisions of your life is not wise at all. We should listen to everyone but ultimately commit an act on the basis of our own knowledge and analysis. If a person lacks sufficient amount of knowledge then he can also not differentiate between right and wrong suggestions of others. Following others, blaming others will bring nothing. In digital coin market, dependency is prohibited.

women are usually not too quick to understand how to trade in cryptocurrency because he does not have experience about computers and blockchain technology and women prefer to be given money rather than having to find their own ways to make money from trading, women usually do not want to be complicated and want everything to be easy and instant.

It's not that they are too slow to learn trading, but women are normally too emotional, very sensitive with every situation, so sometimes they can't control much their emotion, so their being too emotional leading for them in losing in trading and this should be the one that should be overcome not only women but all traders.
The professional life must be done with brain and intellect, not emotions and I also don't consider women to be too emotional in every matter. Those who are working on field are nowhere less than men in terms of productivity. Trading or any other profession has nothing to do with gender. A person can be highly sensitive but if he or she holds good skill-set and utilizes it well, victory belongs to that guy.

Also you should ignore all the rumors out there it can distract you. A man with a huge patiance can hold for a long time & i think choosing a safe coins is a good option. There are few stable coins right now. If im going to hold i will choose that stable coins.
Or much netter would be to not believe in them and do some research to find the truth on your own. This is the biggest problem of people nowadays. They do not work hard or try to achieve their goals on their own. Relying on others for one’s own success makes no sense at all. Crypto currencies are beneficial when they are unstable. Stability kills their benefit producing trait. Besides, there is no risk in investing in bitcoin.
if you think there is no risk it's wrong !, why? because Bitcoin is still unknown what the future will be like,
we have to prepare for whatever happens, working as a cryptocurrency trader is very fun and I can't leave it behind,
if you intend to make it long-term make sure the money you make investments is meaningless to you
For long term hodl bitcoin is still safer compared to other coins because bitcoin runs in the mouth of the public more and its the grand daddy of crypto, its ATM is all over well known places too, the most successful digital currency till date is bitcoin, hands down
Even after a decade, thinking bitcoin to be some risky investment is like a tasteless joke. The doubt made some sense back in the days when nobody was investing in bitcoin or wanted to hold it. The price was too low, available in pennies. But now, just look at the current price of the coin during the dip. It is still the most expensive asset. Digital currencies are the future of money and top coins are not scam at all.
184  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are you involved with Crypto? on: November 27, 2019, 02:54:32 PM
Certain reasons because the development of increasingly advanced technology.although without encouragement I think everyone is slow or early certainly will join the crypto world.in this case both in the field of trade or in the field of gambling.I joined crypto because I was interested investing in bitcoin
Most of the investor are here for money, not to enjoy the advancement in technology. They want to make money with the help of crypto currencies that have proven to be useful in this case. Becoming a millionaire by doing nothing other than holding a coin for one or two years is like a dream coming true. It is good for you that you discovered market earlier than many other people. Bitcoin has laid the foundation, after all.
185  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Traders who never bother to learn how to trade on: November 27, 2019, 01:33:12 PM
It pains me to watch new traders jump in head first without first learning what to do.

Some are smart enough to go at it with just a tiny amount of money at first...
...but most don't.

Only a tiny portion of new traders actually put in the effort to learn the ropes before they start.

Maybe the thought of having to do all that research themselves is overwhelming, and they’re not interested in investing in their education either.
Whatever it is, they're setting themselves up for failure.

It doesn't matter if you're a natural, if you don't learn about what you're doing, success is a gamble with terrible odds.

My cat is a perfect example of that. Cats are purpose built to be the ultimate killing machines, but my cat has no idea how to hunt.
She tried to chase after a spider this morning, but spent more time dancing around it than actually swiping at it. Plus, she constantly lost track of the thing and would start to wander off.

She's not the smartest cat on the block by any means, but the reason she's a terrible hunter is because she never learned how to do it properly.
If I didn't feed her every day, she'd be toast.

If a cat whose nature it is to hunt can’t do so without being taught, what chance do traders have without solid education?

Statistically, 96% of traders lose money or give up. How many of those never took it seriously enough to truly learn?
The only way to beat those kinds of odds are to give yourself every advantage possible.

That includes taking the time to study and learn.

If you've made it this far, and you haven't been taking trading seriously, remember the old saying, “Time is money, and money buys time.”
Are you maximizing your time?

You're absolutely right - it's crucial that new traders do enough research and educate themselves. Too many people jump in without even knowing the basics, and make huge losses.
Knowledge is power. The saying goes right in every sense. Anyone with knowledge has more opportunity in lives and better skills of survival. The more someone knows the better it is for his own safety and future. Traders of digital coin market should be fully aware with all the rules of this profession. In addition to this, the coin they intend to trade with must be learnt in depth first.
186  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: November 27, 2019, 01:07:47 PM
~ In other words, if you have enough dough, you can run pretty safe martingale strategies. Well, until the casino all of a sudden stop being fair, raises the minimum bet amount, or simply makes bets so agonizingly slow that you lose all interest using these strategies

From my experience, the main problem with martingale strategies is that you are either running it in a safe mode, making less than $0.2 per hour(and still risking to lose like $100 at once), or, if you want to make, say, $5 per hour, and you set your base bet accordingly, you can lose those $100 in a blink of an eye. And yeah, slow bets make the safe mode even less profitable.
Martingale is one of those strategies that bring unbelievable and unexpected pain. It would be much better to not think about any strategy because in the end, it is luck that a gamblers need to hit a win streak.  Doubling your amount after winning wont work for long as the probability of loss with each bet remains same. There is no safe mode here certainly. The right way to gamble is to enjoy bets instead of thinking about bets.
187  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to take advantage BTC Pump and Dump in short period? on: November 25, 2019, 03:07:24 PM
How to take advantage BTC Pump and Dump in short period?
We should not do so because it is a risky action for ordinary speculators. we should only deal with the trend. but a trend reversal will have a low probability of accuracy and we will be more likely to lose. I have tried many times to catch the top or bottom of the BTCUSD pair to execute Short or Long orders, but I have many times failed even though the indicator is very clear. so don't try to be greedy, it just makes us lose more.

You only rely on the trend? what happen if there's no trend for that day? Meaning you will not earn right? So better know how to work with it so that we can earn on the fundamentals if we want to spot the correct dump and pump scheme with bitcoins although the market is unpredictable but still we can earn with it and gain a huge chances since we know how to do a counter action when sudden changes appears.
The sole purpose of following the trend should be just doing a comparison of your own analysis with it. That way, a holder can learn a lot. For traders, it is a must to do their own research first. Read articles and go through predictions of others. Discuss doubts and ask problems in relevant forums. Increase the knowledge of coins and trading. Otherwise, it would become too hard o succeed.
188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Often Do you Bet on Politics? on: November 25, 2019, 02:42:50 PM
I like to bet on political events because I used to have a big interest in politics in the past, and some knowledge still remains. Also, if it's about something almost absolutely new to me, I don't mind learning new facts about other countries. Like it or not, politics is a part of our life, in a sense that it affects our lives directly or indirectly. So, I think if we can learn something from this field, even just in order to have better chances of winning a bet, it won't hurt.

It is not a good way of gambling in politics.
Politics can affect your life based on the elected politician. If you make a bet on someone then you are emotionally bonded with this choice and your brain might be affected and make the wrong choice when you vote because you make the bet on this politician. Those two decisions that you have to do should be separated with each other.

C'mon, you can't be serious. Do you really think that your vote makes a difference? Yes, various political parties say that before every election, but what they want to achieve with that is to attract hundreds of thousands new voters to polling stations, the voters who would otherwise skip the elections. One vote, or even a hundred votes, can hardly make a difference unless it's the election of the school president.

When betting on politics, I prefer the way I've learned from other political bettors: if a politician you don't like has big chances of winning, you bet on him/her, and then you are obviously in a win-win situation. Smiley
In my opinion, each vote counts and we should always give importance to our acts. But this is the case where there is no corruption or manipulation of results. In a space of lies, votes of public do not have any importance. whether someone agrees or not, everything is decided before the elections ever take place. If not all, then most of the countries run on this principle. Politics betting is the easiest one.
189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you use betting tips? on: November 25, 2019, 02:21:45 PM
I may use some bettings tips and predictions to find out news regarding teams and players,
but in the end I make my own choice for betting
We bettors or gamblers need to have proper knowledge or we need to do some background checking of the team we will bet about just for example if all of the players on the team will be able to play or some player will not be able to play because of some injuries and etc.
Sometimes I am following some betting tips of my fellow gamblers and sometimes I am following the prediction of them because sometimes they have the more information on what would may the game may happens, but just like what you have been said at the end of the day we are the one who will decide on which side we will bet.
Better is to bet on those sports that you are already interested and know a lot about. Even if you do last minute research, still the difference between such predictions and those done by the old players will be huge. They know more factors affecting game than a new bettor can ever discover. Listening to others is more preferable than following them. Do your own analysis and compare it with others.
190  Economy / Economics / Re: Top Three Emotions to Check to Succeed! on: November 25, 2019, 01:21:20 PM
focus on greed and confidence. these emotions can indeed be a boomerang for us and make us get a huge loss. but, when we are able to utilize this emotion, I think it can make us successful.

there's no harm in being greedy, but we need to have information for that. some successful traders reach their targets by selling their highest assets. but, this excess emotion will certainly have a negative impact.
in addition, we also need to believe in the principles that we have. not having principles will only follow people's opinions, and sometimes it will end in regret. In this case, I think these emotions should not be avoided but should be utilized as well as possible, and not to exceed the limits.
Every negative emotion can become a powerful tool if utilized in right way. Greed, arrogance or hate; these all are elusive because when a person wears them, they feel like power. This are the triggers and resources that keep us pushing forward. Still not recommended as it hurts the bearer mentally and emotionally. The best is to dream high and achieve goals with right methods and attitude. Becoming rich is possible by bitcoin and criminal activities, but former is respectable one.
191  Economy / Economics / Re: Who is the richest person? on: November 25, 2019, 01:03:38 PM
I am waiting top ten richest person in the world want to adopt and invest with bitcoin, maybe giving announcement about bitcoin on their social media account is enough how to make bitcoin on higher price, I think on of richest person in the world is microsoft owner because he get nominate on forbase become richest person in the world last year update about who richest person.
The rich people of the world are mostly owners or co-founders of giant tech companies. Blockchain and digital currencies are basically an innovation in technology so these companies are definitely going to support bitcoin and the concept of digital currencies. Lets talk about the rich people of future too. Whoever will hold more bitcoin, will be richer than others. This is more important.
That cannot be denied certainly. If we put aside the criminals of underground world who make money by evil methods and talk about Forbes top tens, Jeff Bezos who is the CEO of Amazon is the richest person. Amazon is a world inside this world. Then come Bill Gates that we all know about. If ever Larry Page was still the CEO of Google, most probably his worth would have been more than the present one. Anyway, future matters more and bitcoiners are the new billionaires.
192  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why Create a Cryptocurrency in 2019? on: November 24, 2019, 05:57:37 PM
If you have an idea about something that can help to change the world then you should create a cryptocurrency. You should do it without basing on the date because as long as it can help to make the life of humans easier then it would get a lot of attention. Just focus on your craft and the profit will follow since cryptocurrency is always at the internet, it is so accessible.
Now it makes no sense to create another new cryptocurrency to change the world. It’s best to join existing projects and help them develop if you have any professional skills.
creating new projects only make failed possibility bigger . and ofcourse shitcoin will added again in cryptocurrency market. And maybe there are many inventors will be the victim from this projects too.there are many projects that actually need our help, if we have no skill in developting we could help to promote this projects so more people will know about this projects.
Investors having no good amount of knowledge are easy victims of scam projects and this is why it is recommended to learn about the coins and market first. This will give pretty much good idea about how system works. The most important is to develop sound understanding of bitcoin as all altcoins and projects depend on it. Scams are not only problem of digital coin market but all domains.
193  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Your best investment in crypto since 2018 on: November 24, 2019, 05:43:15 PM
That project brings a lots of benefits to those who able to ride the bull, but like what you have said almost everything inside the market are
dumping better to observe first and not to rush with your investment, there's chances that you'll be trapped and waste your funds, try to
think deeper and keep assessing the situations before trying to invest back.
I invested in Utrust when they launched ICO and  sold all the tokens i bought. Now i just hold the token that got from the Utrust bounty campaign and intend to invest long-term hoping the price returns to touch 1$ Grin
Selling all the tokens is never suggested, even during the highest pumps. More accurately, it is unwise to sell without a plan of getting them back for free. I hope things turn out to be good for you and you make some good profit from the digital coin market. Though all these new coins and token do not appear to be very beneficial, but having something is better than nothing.
194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with Fiat or Crypto? on: November 24, 2019, 05:21:35 PM
Exactly and this makes the casinos a win win situation because not only they are gonna win in the long run, in long run, Bitcoin prices may double or even reach moon, and that can easily make the casino owners billionaires Cheesy

They have a double chance to increase their money as they can win and increase their btc and increase its value at the same time in the future.
However, I think they are also employing a risk management program to to avoid volatility on the portion of their coins they are holding, they maybe from time to time convert it to stable coin so the business would really last long.

What we are thinking is the positive scenario only, what if BTC will drop 10x and that would hurt the bankroll of the gambling sites as gamblers are still gambling based on its fiat value although they are using btc as a tool to gamble.
Gambling with crypto currencies is an attractive experience to feel. Indeed, winning in such bets will not only give double amount but huge profits with the passage f time because digital assets are the best investments too. If bitcoin will drop ten times its value, then it will be rising twenty times afterwards. That is the nature of this coin. No holder of bitcoin can ever suffer loss until he makes some blunders.
195  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble with a controlled mindset on: November 24, 2019, 05:08:07 PM
The lucky things, i always have my own midset "Never doing a gamble using your own pocket" most of the money i used only from the payment freelance like Signature Campaign/Bounty. The reason i never using my own money, i don't want to get a crisis financial for my life because doing a gamble went i lose doing a gamble using my money (Payment from freelance) just feel i was really wasting my time.
So I would say your mindset is quite poor because this is in fact, your own money. Store it for a year and than try to waste it in gambling, you will see how hard it will be, just like "using your own pocket". I would advise you to stop lying to yourself. This is the exact reason why people develop problems with gambling. Honesty with thyself is the most important thing.
Fun and profits combined with the honest attitude that is, hard erned money wasting, is the best. Rationalising will only get you in trouble.
Every money is hard earned certainly. There is nothing wrong with gambling but no penny should be considered as free one because this is impossible to get cash without working hard for it. Most probably he earns through bounties for the sole purpose of using it in entertainment. I liked the division because he does not play with the other income source. So he is safe but must look for not becoming an addict.
196  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Prehistory on: November 24, 2019, 04:55:02 PM
Yesterday, gmaxwell published a thread with excellent information where it highlights some very interesting records to know a little more about the history of Bitcointalk.

[BCT FACT] Bitcointalk was originally on Bitcoin.org but ... drama

Quote
Bitcointalk was originally a forum under www.bitcoin.org/smf/ and then later on a subdomain at forums.bitcoin.org but it isn't anymore.

Here is the 2011 announcement, but it doesn't give the backstory.

It seems like people have been systematically nuking logs of Bitcoin's history off the Internet for whatever reason, so many of you who weren't personally there and involved in 2011 probably have not seen this bit of history.

I'll just let the chat logs tell the story of why it was moved and how it got the name bitcointalk.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5203621.0

It is a must-read thread if you want to know more about the forum.
That was very informative. They were under a situation where no other good solution was possible. Not Making the bitcoin.org site official had its own reason certainly. Besides, the matter of illegal activities could not be avoided either. That was actually a bit rough and happy to see such topics are no more promoted. At present, it is the best forum for tuning with digital currencies market, specially bitcoin. They wanted development to be a separate organization from forum.
197  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: No good projects from a long time on: November 23, 2019, 03:08:11 PM
There had come many ICOs in 2017 and a good number of STOs in 2018 and many IEOs in 2019 but hardly a few have made it to 'relatively better than others' list.
I wonder why haven't there come potential coins like ether. The only project that looked promising to me this year was bittorrent which was lauched on binance launchpad.
But even that is not going so well these days.

Is the world out of ideas or solutions?

the world will never run out of ideas or solutions because the world is inhabited by long-term thinkers. Although at this time a lot of altcoins have been created, only a few altcoins have the potential to be able to survive in the long term, and in my opinion there will be a time for altcoin to grow well in the future. and I strongly believe that all will return to normal as we all expect in cryptocurency.
Due to the competition in the market and the problem of scams, indeed it has become difficult for new projects to grab attention of customers. It has become hard to trust any new offers as mostly turn out just to be promising words. Nothing is perfect in the beginning. Every leaders of the market starts from one small thing. Teams who are serious about their projects will definitely learn with time.
198  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 4 reasons why Bitcoin has bottomed out on: November 23, 2019, 02:39:21 PM
Looks like the statement that BTC has bottomed out had made people's confidence shoot up for BTC and then suddenly crash down all to scare them once again. Its not just $7k, its not good to small time traders but for the big whales its a does make sense to buy more. The poor becomes poorer and richer becomes richer still applies in crypto.
If you are born poor, that was your luck but if you stay poor for the rest of your life, it would be your own decision. let’s just look at example of Eric, he became rich by investing in bitcoin at the time when no one was willing to. So he deserves this reward. Look at Mark, Steve Jobs, Larry Page or Bill Gates, they were not as rich at their birth time as they are now. Crypto currencies give a way to become rich.
199  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you use betting tips? on: November 23, 2019, 02:21:12 PM
Stop paying mate. You better try looking for some tipsters online for free. Even in this forum you can have some free clues from good bettors by following specific sports threads like soccer, basketball, football, etc. If you are busy but love betting then I recommend following some good bettors here and then compare it with your own analysis.

As for me, I am more confident analyzing my own bets,even when there are times i'm in a losing streak. I don't want my picks influenced by other bettors predictions as it can only distract my analysis.     
Good to hear that you do your work on your own. The guy is at a whole different level. Paying others to get some useful tips when a lot of free information is available either means he is innocent not or does not want to do a lot of analysis on his own. No tips are going to work. What is the guarantee that the other person is not a scammer? None at all. He should bet on those sports he watches.
200  Economy / Economics / Re: Negative interest rates in Germany on: November 22, 2019, 04:40:22 PM
I don't understand why they didn't rename it as a 'service fee'. Free banking isn't a thing at all in quite a few places.

I have a bit of money in the bank. It's not there for investment purposes. It's there to be spent. I'd shop around if one place implemented this but wouldn't bust a gut doing it.

Maybe Because the customers are already paying the service fee and it from no angle, can be named that. Banks are Just trying to keep the excess Reserves while paying the negative interest with help of its customers. That is actually very clever of them. It would have been much better if people start investing in cryptocurrencies. This way, they will stay away from all such tricks. They are also the future currency.
