181  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Memecoins on the Solana Chain are still thriving. on: April 08, 2024, 02:45:55 PM
What are your thoughts on this? Do you believe this trend will continue to grow, or is it just overhyped speculation?
While there's the trend, savor it while it lasts. We know that the crypto market is speculative and whichever is currently trending, you should just stay on it until it becomes less trendy. But this seems to be a long bull run for those meme coins and solana is no doubt becoming the winner on this pace. If the majority are still thinking of them being overhyped, I am one of them but can't be denied that this overhype is bringing such profits to those that have risked a lot.
Indeed, nothing's permanent if you mind the hype, you can actually make use of this opportunity to milk those cows for a while. However, you have to be careful; indeed there are many coins which are having a huge rate of increase and having an early entry would give you big advantage and profit but keep in mind of sudden rugpull with these projects. Saw some news recently and that should be an enough warning for investors who plans to ride those tides. Never hold for that long and avoid being too greedy of profit. A x10 of capital would be big already; don't wait for them to pull the coin down and be left with nothing.
Like it or not, on-chain gambling won't go away; especially knowing that it runs under a guise making a lot of people think they're "investors" but really they're just gambling.

Yea of course things will die down a bit in the future, but overall, I don't think it's going anywhere.
You can't pull out your bet in gambling unlike with these projects at least, in an instant. It will just be a gamble on the extent of seeking for a jackpot token that would give you x100, which is a bit rare. Memetokens might not have utility in most instances but as long as there is a demand for it then why not make use of such opportunity right? But of course wisely.
182  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is a best way of taking advantage of BTC dips when away? on: April 08, 2024, 01:24:57 PM
If you have someone you can trust, by all means, then try contacting them to buy for you and tell them that you'd pay once you comeback on when you are again available. This is not to give them your private keys, they may store it on their wallet and just note the amount. If you don't have such friend they forget the dip and wait for your availability to invest. When it comes on dip, it won't be lasting for only a few seconds sometimes it would go for a week or longer and there's no need to rush given that the market won't recover in an instant. Always plan your entry and avoid FOMO to get rid of unwanted loss.
Call me an idiot, I don't care but I believe that this question deserves some answer.

I have been hearing about the importance of buying Bitcoin at the dip and something good strikes my heart.

What if I can't be available when Bitcoin is dumping? What if I am away because in reality I am always busy, you can tell how epileptic my activeness on this forum have become.

Is there anyway to buy Bitcoin dips when I am not available? So this come to my mind straight away.

A bitcoin buy the dip bot, that can trigger a certain price when I am away, is this possible?

Don't tell me to use a centralized exchange, been not active in crypto space means that a centralized exchange can collapse before you come back, I want something in my control.

If you have a better option, don't hesitate to share.
Well, you can use the DCA method to buy the dip, you just have to have a certain investment plan with a capital in place for let's say six months. There are trusted centralised exchange like Binance, because most of the possibilities of what you want can actually be done with bot using CEX. However your not an idiot, your just an investor looking for flexible method to suit your investment schedule, which is quite
 understandable.
Well DCAs would really work such as placing a certain amount that would trigger your purchase in particular qith buy orders. If it would be bots then you are the one to do it or to pay someone to do it for you. However, by experience it would still be better to have your presence whenever there's a sudden deep 'coz the price is so unpredictable tht mighy fall lower than what you have expected qhich could either trigger your stoploss or eat up your margin.
183  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you advise a friend in the same way? on: April 07, 2024, 11:17:38 PM
Well, given that we are in this industry, we know how profitable Bitcoin is as a digital currency and how profitable it is especially during bull market. However, running a company is just different and that funds of it should be properly alloted. Obviously, Bitcoin's market price is volatile; if the company will be in a sudden in need of money for maintenance and other necessities, and the price of Bitcoin  happened to be down by that moment, How would he resolve the situation? It is good that you give him an advice or suggestion because that's his primary need based on the scenario. It will still depend into him whether he would choose to do so or not to. He should just take consideration that he is running a business and adding a risk to a risk will be tricky on his end.
Is this the wrong advice? A friend of mine took over his father's company because he is so old already and he told me about the money thats available doing nothing in the bank.

I told him to think about investing that money if he wants to keep the company growing, I told him about how MicroStrategy is doing so well using Bitcoin as a strong backbone of the company, I believe that even a small company can turn big if they use Bitcoin as their main investment.

Or am I wrong? I need to know if this advice is a good one or a bad one, I gave him this advice because we are very close and also because I will do the same thing if I am in his shoe, this is the best thing i can think of right now.
In short-term you're probably right about giving that advice but in the long-term, there's a possibility that the business would see some unforeseeable events that could lead to something really bad which would end up with you having nothing but the chances of being blamed. I think that you need a spare money that's never moved or meddled in any way in a business because expenses that aren't expected are expensive especially with business not to mention that the foreseeable things that might happen is even higher because your friend took over a company and we all know how it feels when it comes to changes in the management, a lot of people would have a hard time adjusting and some might not even like the new management that could lead to them quitting which is a big possibility.
If he happened to follow this advice, he could easily do a short term and long term action, however profit will never be assured. But what's best to do is to ask from who he inheritted it from for what's best to do if that person is still alive 'coz for sure he would know what's best for that company.
184  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is all this memecoin hype about? on: April 07, 2024, 10:51:14 PM
Well, memes behind every memecoins are already popularity. And as a cryptocurrency despite of having no ulitity most of the time, its market price movement generates profit to those who can actually ride the tide.There's no other reason; memecoins are also profitable. However, if it is for long term holding then I doubt. Most of the memecoins are having large token pool. Also,  as I mentioned there are no specific usage or in these coins, which makes sense to say that memecoins will find it hard to have a contonuous market price increase in the long run. Nothing's too great actually, but as long as investors are making profit out of its concept then, we cannot blame those who are being interested into it. All I know is to not put that much in any coin there is no matter how huge the hype is, 'coz it is hard to be squeezed once a decline starts on these coins value. Manipulation is also common in these coins which are only dependent with hype so be careful.

$PEPE, SHIB, FLOKI and the likes have impressed investors for having high price increase within a short period of time on its market prices but if you're not new in this industry, you should know that dumps would always be a counterpart. Memecoins are good still, however avoid buying on peak market prices to at least lessen the tendency of huge loss. Don't also bet on it as if this is gambling. Choose still to diversify your capital.
185  Economy / Economics / Re: Business/Entrepreneurship. on: April 07, 2024, 06:12:22 PM
Entrepreneurship is more of using or utilizing resources and coming up with innovation unlike with businesses which are often with existing ideas and improvements. But these are just definitions of the words. A better question is which would work more on your shoe? Well, that depends on your skills and resources as an individual. Nothing's better than the other it is always what would work better if you are to start something.
Although entrepreneur and businessman are not the same, they are compared in the same category.  Entrepreneurs come up with innovative ideas for new business. They express their creativity. They take new initiatives. But after taking the initiative, they trade in the market through that thought. And traders invest their money in a particular business. And trade accordingly.  There is a possibility of loss for both people here.
Another angle I guess is longevity of the 'output'. Businesses are meant to exist on a lifetime while entrepreneurship is understood to be temporary and most of the time, short term due to advancements an entrepreneur will be doing to seek for the best as one's goal. Entrepreneurship is something that would start based on environment and present situations whil with businesses, there are times improving what exists would be enough to have your own pathway.
186  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin to the common man. on: April 07, 2024, 05:07:54 PM
In a realistic point of view, those who you call 'common man' are most of the time not interested with investments because for them it is not practical and they have to deal with more important things on a daily basis such as bills and other daily needs. Many people have the same idea about investment, which has something to do with risk of losing, and unfortunately, they are the ones of the category who cannot afford that tendency because for them that money which has a chance to be turned into a loss, could be more useful with the things a man needs to 'survive'.

Also not to mention, Bitcoin is not known by majority of people also the idea that not all people who's aware of its existence, are interested in the first place. Therefore, no matter how good we view Bitcoin is, as an investment, we cannot force the idea to those who are not into it. Wait for them to have the initiative to engage. Sharing to them the idea would help but again, there's no need to things on their end.
187  Other / Off-topic / Re: How you can benefits from your loss ? on: April 07, 2024, 04:30:10 PM
Losing is a part of gambling and will always be. I'd say it is not a good thing to experience but something we won't be able to avoid as long as we gamble. The only thing we could learn from a loss, is to learn from that experience. This doesn't mean that on your next bet, qinning is guaranteed, 'coz there's no such thing. What's best is to learn how to restrict yourself from losing more than what you can really afford to lose. A $500 loss vesus a $100, what's more likely to affect you? Of course that's the bigger amount. If we would make restraining ourselves to bet big or all in, then at least it won't damage us that much to the extent that we'd regret things and will still continue to do so out of frustration. Given that it won't be assured to win, limiting the bets that we engage will at least give us a better margin and will help us avoid the worse. Gambling is really open to everyone but gambling activity isn't for everyone; only to those who knows how it works.
188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stopping the curse of losing streak? on: April 07, 2024, 03:43:46 PM
Taking a pause in gambling would somehow calibrate your luck. Luck is something we have no control of and if we would push our way 'til we win, we'd just suffer from bigger loss and with that, trying on the next day will at least give way for luck to enter although without assurance, but would be worth trying; that's just how luck works. But sometimes, there are peopl who are having a longer losing streak, perhaps a month or more, then in this case what'w the solution? I'd day it should be the same thing or to completely stop gambling. Chasing profit from gambling in the first place, to the extent of you are depending your financial capacity into it, is a bad thing given the lack of assurance with the outcome. It is okay to expect of profit but never rely your fate of getting rich to something which has that much of risk because it is the same as with taking a shortcut to success. In gambling, if it is for you, then it will come to you without the need of forcing it.
189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it right to advice other people against gambling for personal reasons like?? on: April 07, 2024, 03:04:34 PM
It is okay to advice others based on your experience as a caution of how dangerous gambling is. In the first place, that's just an advice or suggestion and not merely a requirement or total restriction; it'll still depend to that individual or listener of him whether he would follow it or not. It would be better to hear such disclaimer than to be surprised of things and to suffer the same fate. Gambling is really risky that no one holds the assurance or guarantee of winning regardless of how much you want it to happen; things will always depend on your luck and your task is to extend that luck as much as possible by means of controlling wager and betting amounts, taking a pause sometimes and knowing when to bet or skip. Greed will always be at the corner waiting for you to get it and that's something you should be cautious of.
190  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to invest 1k in altcoins on: April 06, 2024, 06:28:30 PM
You'd hear this often; diversify it. No one is certain of what's best to invest. If you have high risk appetite then try engaging to meme tokens wherein there are many to choose from, just take note of high market price volatility. If you're into long term holding then of course there will be ETH, SOL, and the likes as options. It is a lazy doing if you will only rely on others' opinion. You can have your own research of the tokens to be suggested in this discussion and decide for yourself which would suit you well. Many people could suggest any token they have invested into but take note of the fact that they have invested earlier than your actual entry, also with differences in capital. You cannot expect the same outcome to be honest so just do you.
Before asking this question you should have enough knowledge about alt coins yourself.  Because you need to research which coin you want to invest in and how safe it is.  Because not all alt coins are safe.  Most of the alt coins are scams. If you invest without doing your research, you are likely to lose. So learn more about the coin yourself and then invest.  So you can invest in BTC instead of investing in alt coin. It's more reliable. It's your personal opinion though.
Frauds are in newly released projects. Tokens which are listed to big exchanges are most likely safe to invest but won't be safe from sudden price decline. Aside from choosing a coin to invest, you should also know what's best to do in any market behavior to avoid loss occurence due to misjudgement on things.
191  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If everyone is holding their bitcoin, will there be a balance? on: April 06, 2024, 04:35:07 PM
As long as there is a buying pressure or demand then yes it would be fine. They won't be holding for no reason, right? New investors or buyers will just continue to enter in such way which will make the market price high and this will be continuous until the last Bitcoin has been mined already. If all people will just continue holding then until when? For sure they won't do it for a lifetime. There will be always people that will choose to sell especially if they are already in need of money for certain reasons. There will always be a point that investors would choose to take profit from holding and that's a normal thing given that it is investment we are talking about. If it is balance then it will still be as long as it circulates, which is something that is exppected.
192  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do we really need to blame fraudsters on: April 05, 2024, 11:55:18 PM
We cannot blame the fraudsters as they are inhumane and lacks the humanity else they won't be cheating and robbing innocent and foolish people. I think we need to be very cautious but still there are chances users can be fooled at least expected platforms I see everyday people are getting scammed through the fake e-commerce sites and all. This has to be stopped which is possible with only harsh punishment for the preparators else they will keep on figuring out new way to fool us. We need strong cybersecurity and anti scan system in place the scammers should be traced and punished.
Ofcourse they are the ones to be blamed; first of all they are the doers of this illegal action. Now the question should be, do we need to blame those who were fooled by these schemes? I am against it. Let's say thet they weren't being careful with their actions but they are just people who are having hopes. As others have mentioned, fraudsters are making these scam related activities, attractive to the eyes of people simply because they want to victimize as many as possible. This simply means they were just fooled by offers but of course if they knew it as a scam, why would they engage in the first place? They might indeed be lacking knowledge of things but in those instances, they just followed instructions turning out to be a fraud. I won't be in accordance to victim blaming. We are not all perfect and we all made mistakes at least once in our lives, making everyone of us prone of such things.
193  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online casino gambling is more of profit chasers while land base is more of fun on: April 05, 2024, 11:14:33 PM
Most of the people who engages in gambling activities are profit chasers regardless of the platform being used. Online gambling sites are just more convenient in terms of accessibility but if it is with gambler's purpose and intention then no one weighs more. Well indeed, interaction and socialization are more evident with landbased casinos however, some people are not into it. This will also boil down to the idea on why does a gambler play on landbased casinos; most likely it is because of personal preference concerning real time transactions, or the experience itself of interacting with other players. However, people on online gambling sites are there because they don't have the time to visit a casino or just their preference of just doing so. Most of the people are again driven to make profit and fun comes in many forms not only with physical interaction.
194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you consider yourself, the family and gambling? on: April 05, 2024, 07:38:15 PM
Lets take a look at the family aspect of everyone gambling and try to give our individual opinions concerning these questions i will like us to discuss from regarding how we are gambling and how that can affect the family for the benefits of those already having one and those that will soon be in the league of a family man, lets make it as simple as possible in giving our earnest contributions on our take from this following questions i have for us.

1. At what age will you allow your child to start gambling? that is if you will even allow for that at all?
2. At what age do you see yourself quit gambling? that is also if some of us are going to ever do so?
3. Ever since you have started gambling, have you ever achieve a satisfying level that makes you think it has good impact on you?
4. Would you have missed out on anything if you were not a gambler?



From being years in gambling industry, I never thought of quitting especially when I managed to learn how to control myself with the amount I am betting. I have experienced winning 10x of my bankroll which was my biggest so far but at least I am not in huge loss, which I am most thankful of. And if it is allowing my child or not to gamble, one thing is for sure, I won't be the one to teach them of such activity 'coz it is for them to discover and know why and what's to avoid in gambling. Teaching them would be nonsense if they are seeing you gamble. This is another reason why you shouldn't show them the things you don't want them to be curious of. If it is with the things I might have probably missed from gambling then that's saving for sure. Losing is part of the game and if you regret it then you should not continue gambling afterwards.
195  Other / Off-topic / Re: Gambling problems on different races on: April 05, 2024, 04:48:12 PM
Gambling chooses no age, gender, race, and ethnicity and so is gambling addiction; everyone is prone to it. Reason to this is addiction itself. As long as you're exposed to an activity, you are prone to addiction if things won't be managed and controlled properly. Addiction simply is with the unconscious mind and actions regardless of unwanted outcome, would be done through impulsion and compulsion at the same time.
If countries in Africa have a good economic condition then most likely they will also have a population of gambling addicts. Rich families tend to spoil their family members and let them spend whatever they wanna spend the money on. Since we are talking about the race, look at Drake, who can afford to lose a million in one match.

Therefore it's not really about race, it's just how rich the country is with so many people who could also afford to gamble.
Well indeed financial capability is a factor for gambling exposure. How would someone be able to play that much if he lacks the capacity to do so. But this would be a discussion between one's daily salary and amount we engage right? Perhaps you are only earning $200 a month and still happened to engage more than half of it to a single sitting then that could simply be a symptom of problematic gambling.
196  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is playing poker online better than offline? on: April 04, 2024, 11:19:00 PM
Not that much into poker but I guess if it is between online and offline playing, it will depend on your preference as an individual. Some people want no interaction to other people whenever they are playing because they cannot focus on their decisions while doing it, which is why they'd be better playing online. Some people find it more entertaining to play on landbased casinos due to player interaction. Some tend to read other's facial expressjon limiting 'bluffing' technique. And also, there are people who sometimes prefer a quiet room to do poker but sometimes misses the idea of talking to other people about either loss or profit. If it is convenience on playing then of course online gambling would be at an advantage otherwise it's the opposite set up. Nothing's better in a general perspective I guess; each of the platform has its own pros and cons.
197  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lately I've been thinking about this a lot. on: April 04, 2024, 04:58:45 PM


Many gamblers are placing bets on this fighter since its more reliable than you against the casino games, this is all about agility and skills, but the possibility of intent loss to make more money is also possible in this game, what's your take on this?
Still happening I guess especially with small tournaments and leagues. But with mainstream matches, this is still possible to happen given that big money is involved. However, we know how risky it is to do so since their names are on the line; if it would be discovered then their careers will be instantly over. Perhaps in this match, Mike sells it. If he'd be bashed for it, his brands being promoted would be also at risk and that is something he should consider since no amount of money will be equal to such things and privileges. It would be totally unfair for bettors especially those who are fans of them. Disappointment would be on the line as well.

There are bettors who has access with fixed matches. Unbelievable how they set aside their conscience given how many people are losing big amount of money on matches they believed of.
198  Other / Off-topic / Re: Gambling addiction is not about the money you could win; it's about the "win" it on: April 03, 2024, 04:36:29 PM
It simply depends on who you are and what your personality is; things are subjective when it comes to satisfaction. Some people are fine just playing because they are not or no longer in need of big amount of money becaause they have their own wealth outside this industry. But of most the people here for sure are into gambling activities to earn profit. You'd only be engaging on either entertainment or financial satisfaction and rewards. I cannot think of other reason why do people gamble aside from these two. Winning is a part of a person's ego and it could be a drive. However, that drive depends on your needs and desire. If it is winning over opponent then that's valid if that's how you percieve things but more likely there'e a deeper meaning for you to be too eager of things. You can name all of those things but for sure majority of it would fall under monetary needs.
199  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What was your latest big win from gambling? on: April 03, 2024, 03:57:28 PM
About $1.5k from sportsgambling. I tried parlay bets with $100 and happened to win, however, I was down by $1.7 last month, so I'm not still in profit recently. But I'm still happy ofcourse that I got to get back with most of my loss and that's just simply how gambling works; sometimes you win, and there are times you'd be winning the game. What's best is to always manage your bets so that whatever outcome happens, you'd be fine with it and won't be in huge problem afterwards that could lead to frustration and of course bigger loss. Actually my 2nd time winning a value more than a thousand. Most of the time I am only being able to bag a hundred and those weren't even often.
What was your latest big win from gambling? How do you feel after your latest big win?  is $16700 last week and I have lost half of my latest big win cause most times I do chase my loss unconsciously. I really want to know how you do feel after your latest big win. Do you increase your betting stake with mindset( if I lose it’s not my hard earned money) or will you maintain your staking status quo?

You need to work on yourself because that's how addiction normally starts. Whenever you win big, withdraw 70% of the amount immediately and stop playing. If you continue playing and you lose all or most of it, you'll be tempted to chase your loss and you'll be causing yourself more harm.

Back to your question. It's been a while I won a very huge amount and whenever I win big, I don't allow it make me go crazy and start increasing my wager or playing recklessly. I just quit playing.
Depends on what would work best for you. Some are fine taking home 50% of the total profit but once I hit 2x of my capital or bankroll for that day, I would instantly stop and take a rest to avoid losing those profit. Self discipline is not something we can achieve on a single trial. There'll be a lot of realization, and that should be taken noted of.
200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many times all-in save your bankroll? on: April 02, 2024, 11:49:34 PM
Whenever I'm in profit, I now tend to secure it and to take a pause gambling for that day. The reason to this is to avoid being greedy of wanting for more and end up losing everything afterwards. This is not an easy practice, it'll take time for you to realize and actualize that taking profit is important. I do the same thing when I'm continuously losing perhaps 5-8 times of my bet. I am taking a pause and will just accept that I'm unlucky for that day and there is still tomorrow or other day to find my luck and to win back my loss.

But ofcourse I've been before an all-in bettor such that my bankroll for that day should be either lost or in profit so I was betting all of it to wrap the day. And there is only a few times that I won using my last money to a last bet, and if I remembered it correctly those are only 3 times in my whole gambling career. Honestly, it is not a heakthy habit or practice which is why I used taking a pause or stop, as a resolve if things are not going in accordance of my bets.
