1861  Economy / Speculation / Re: Btc ath february 2022 on: April 01, 2022, 08:42:11 AM
in looking at the market we must be realistic, but the fact is that lately the price of bitcoin has gone up very drastically. To be honest this situation is quite confusing to me because lately the price of bitcoin has gone up drastically while the war in Ukraine which has had a huge impact on the world economy has not ended. I don't know if the recent price hikes are the end of a bear market or just a temporary price hike that the whales are deliberately trying to create a bull trap.
Correction to this huge increase could be coming up, or maybe it won't but people are afraid of that. I get it though; I mean we have seen it both go up a lot and go down a lot in its history which is why we are always worried and I understand it.

This is why I believe that we should not really be shocked at the current situation, just focus on what you could do with what you are given and do not get worried about the future. In the end if you have enough money in crypto, then whatever happens will be a good result for you in the long run when the bitcoin goes up. That would be a lot better situation for people who are having hard time making a decision.
There was no huge increase that happened but what we felt recently is just a simple recovery. Correction has also been felt last few months so I don't think we will have it again because we have been in a bull.

Only newbies and those that are unprepared of what to do are afraid of correction but for those who are experienced and prepared, they will not be afraid with it or complain but they will only use it for their own good. They can buy more and after that they will play the hodling game again. Although a correction is essential but I don't consider it as a good result. A good result is when it bulls and then you sold for a massive profit.
1862  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is this true? on: March 31, 2022, 09:20:26 PM
Even if it is true, Because most altcoin projects are scams. A few days ago, a friend of mine was the victim of a scam like one and a half thousand dollars. However, it is heard that the reputation of the altcion that the bear market is releasing is looking good. Even then, I would say from my personal opinion, look carefully before investing in altcion
Investing our money in cryptocurrency is risky indeed, but we can get decent profit if we put our money properly.
The amount of due diligence and research is affects our success when we want to choose the project.
If we want to play safe, just put our money on bitcoin, not on altcoins especially on the new one.
It could be risky, but it is also the only way to store your wealth as well. That is what people are forgetting about when investing into crypto. What you need to realize is that crypto is pegged against the dollar and that means we are talking about inflation saving. If the inflation is bad in your country (which is bad in nearly every country right now) that means that we could save our money in crypto and fight against that inflation. This is of course helping the people who like to invest for the long term, if you are just a trader who buys and sells daily, then that means you are trying to get rich with the volatility of the market.
1863  Economy / Economics / Re: One Alternative To High Gas Prices, The Electric Scooter on: March 31, 2022, 08:43:36 PM
This became a thing in Turkey these days. There is a company called "martı" that has been around for a few years now, like maybe 2-3 years at most but they grew insanely bigger and bigger during the pandemic. Nowadays I am seeing them putting electric type of bikes everywhere as well. Not those huge motorcycle things, just small tiny things that you can sit on and go. I believe that that will grow super insanely high as well. I do not know how you get licenses for that, but they probably spent millions upon millions of dollars to just get those vehicles, both the scooters and the electric mini bikes as well. Its really growing exponentially.
That has existed in my nation for years. It is not really a bad idea, I like riding those things because it is insanely cheap, it is like 10 cents per kilometre if you calculate it, which means that if you go to work 20 km away, that is 2 dollars per day spent on the ride. Even taking the bus could be more expensive then that, so you spend like 4 bucks per day on your travels to and from your work.

Not really a big amount of money and you could rent them everywhere and there is usually an app for it and you could see where is the closest one. The only problem is that sometimes there isn't any close one so you have to walk a lot, or you just use alternative ways. It is never really a good thing to open it up in the morning and finding none in your area.
1864  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Are we going to see a new altcoin boom soon on: March 31, 2022, 06:44:26 PM
Most of the market is beginning to pick up in recent times and altcoin look left behind in the recent market boom.

What are we going to expect from the altcoin market with this new market boom will altcoin see a new phase in the market or Bitcoin will continue with the market trend?
When you say most of the market, that simply means that there is already an altcoin included on it because the market is composed mostly of altcoins if not tokens and there is only one bitcoin. You need to be specific and say the name of that altcoin that have been left behind in the recent boom because most of the top altcoins are performing better now together with their master bitcoin.

When btc is rising, we can expect that altcoins will do the same thing but they can't cross over bitcoin. It should be btc that must first take the lead before them. They need to give way to the king. In terms of a new altcoin, a new altcoin can always boom but that can be for short term only.
The three that I could clearly see is XRP, BCH, BSV. Remember that these were all high level coins, two of them top 10 at one point and not out of sight, XRP is not doing horrible but at the same time it is not doing that bad neither. So, we have seen all these three not do well during the 2020-2021 bull run, and not doing that great right now neither.

I am not so sure if you would be interested in that or consider that as "left behind" but there are certainly some projects that go up with the bull run, go down during the bear run and never come back up no matter how much you try. These were done after the 2018 bear run and will stay that way forever most probably.
1865  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How safe it is to invest in cryptocurrency on: March 31, 2022, 11:09:46 AM
Of course, every investment has its own risks, such as investing in the world of cryptocurrency, of course, there will also be loopholes to break into or we lose assets in bitcoin if we are not careful in carrying out intensive supervision at all times, for example, bitcoin security against cross-sectional assets is also closely monitored. by the bitcoin itself but if there is a scam then we also can't do much about the assets we have, but this is very rare in the world of Cryptocurrency
And the risk can vary, they can be low, medium, and high. Investing in cryptocurrencies can be rated as a high-risk investment, it is because they are highly volatile but on top of that, the rewards that you can expect are also higher than other investments.

There is no problem with bitcoin itself but the problem is in the exchanges, wallets and other platforms because they can sometimes be exploited however scams can be easily avoidable if you have already have an experience on this field. They are not deadly as the hacks but both hacking and scamming are not a rare thing in the crypto world but they actually happen all the time.
1866  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is Russia brewing? on: March 31, 2022, 09:14:20 AM
For now, Russia has legalized crypto, and this all certainly has big plans to deal with their economic situation that is not good because of sanctions from various countries, maybe by legalizing crypto they can get a way out of the problems they are facing, so now indeed cryptocurrencies have become a way for countries that are in the midst of economic damage, and they can come out by legalizing crypto like Venezuela and Iran.
That is not really a bad idea when you think about it. Crypto is decentralized, which means that if you are using bitcoin to deal with the rest of the world, anyone who wants to deal with you will do that. This will result with you getting a great reserve currency which could help you get as much power as you want economically.

I am sure that they would rather dealing regularly like they have been for a while, but if that is not possible then in that case they will end up dealing with bitcoin obviously. This is basically a "they left us no other choice" solution for Russia and I do not think that it is a bad one neither. They will surely benefit from this in the long run.
1867  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is this a start of bull rally in ALTCOIN? on: March 31, 2022, 08:09:19 AM
A pumping process that has reached 90% in altcoins has begun. The stability in the main cryptos is reflected in the altcoins and they are experiencing the recovery process. With the right research and close follow-up, the doors of a period in which a lot of profit can be made are opened.
What are you talking? 90% increase in altcoins has begun? from what perspective ? in which market are you referring ? because I cannot see such reason for the market as climbing 90% for altcoins , sorry but this sounds not true for me.
maybe the idea of altcoin pumping is because the price and the capitalization rose up but that is not enough to reach that high as 90%?
sounds exaggerating .
I agree, I couldn't find too many with 90% increase. If we look at the past 7 days, there are 2 projects in the top 100 that passed the 90%+ mark on increases which are Ziliqa and GMT. I would have to say that this doesn't mean that the market is super high. I would put the average on 10% weekly which is not bad at all. I wish we had weekly 10% increases all the time, that could be considered a big bull run.

In the end, this was a good increase week, but if it was only that and we won't have any follow up this week, then I do not think that we could consider that as a big deal. Hopefully it will continue to keep going high like this, and doesn't start dropping lower.
1868  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Btc and usdt people trust on: March 30, 2022, 07:24:36 PM
As far as I know investors don't have two things in trading, what they have is two ways investors trade.
1. Bitcoin
2. USDT.

Speaking of trust, what is certain is that investors have their own beliefs to trade Bitcoin of their choice and usdt as well as their choice, fact, if rich investors already know about Bitcoin they will leave usdt.

Bitcoin trading is much more profitable than USDT, in the current situation, I think investors trust Bitcoin more than USDT, If it is explained here why they believe in Bitcoin, it may take two pages, the point is: investors believe in Bitcoin more, usdt only as a means or bridge to cross.
I disagree with this, people trust way more than just btc and usdt, they trust altcoins as well. By the looks of it they unfortunately trust in wrong things as well, they are trusting like apecoin or whatever these days for example, they did that to doge and shiba at one point as well.

I am not saying that they are trusting in the great altcoins and doing awesome, they are sometimes trusting into the horrible stuff as well but that doesn't mean that they do not trust other stuff. Obviously, the most trusted ones are btc and usdt and I agree with that. However "the most trusted" and "only trusting" are different things. They do trust btc and usdt the most, but they also trust other coins as well.
1869  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin - Projected Bottom and Halving on: March 30, 2022, 06:40:31 PM
Almost impossible but quite probable on balance vs actions taken in US dollar which have greatly weakened it and will continue to further based on bond issuance and repayment schedule in future. 
   100 dollar used to buy a car, now its barely anything so the fixed values we view for pricing will change considerably by the time of future BTC cycles; it is possible when considering that entire picture.
Im more bearish then most but I did not think the ATH was the last high price we will see.  Some say it will occur this year, I do not but I would not say thats all in the past till block reward changes again.   The chart is useful for laying out waves and tides to price action and it is transforming not repeating exactly, anyhow the pattern is useful to observe.
Unfortunately the us dollar is not the only currency that would be going down, it is basically the whole fiat world right now. If you think that 68k was not the last ATH we will see, then you are not bearish than most. People keep talking about death of bitcoin eventually, those are the real bearish people, there are idiots out there who are given a microphone in conferences and say that they know who satoshi is and bitcoin will be zero when that comes out.

We all know that he doesn't know but he is just bearish. The price reaching 100k is inevitable to me, maybe not this year, maybe not next year but "some day" it will be 100k, and that makes me feel bullish enough.
1870  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoin market, what to expect I'm this season on: March 30, 2022, 05:48:16 PM
The bull market has just ended so in the near future it is very rare for the season to come again at this close distance.  but don't be afraid the market doesn't always go down, there must be an up movement like what's happening now.  when season for the bear comes, choose the best altcoin because it can affect the upcoming bull season
Bull run ended? How did it end? I mean it wasn't even good enough to call it a bull market if you ask me because it went up like 10-20% and that much increase in just one week doesn't constitute being called bull run to me. However, even if we consider it a bull run, why would you consider that it is over? We are still above 47k and it still looks quite good.

I do agree with the rest of the explanation though, when we are facing stuff like bear markets, all we can do is finding the best altcoins and invest into them. When you do that, then it means when the bull run comes you will be able to make a great profit from those altcoins reaching new highs.
1871  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you spend crypto? If yes, for what? on: March 29, 2022, 07:22:47 PM
I have not bought something with crypto, but when I have to buy something I convert my crypto in fiat and then I buy that thing. Actually there is no one in our country that use cryptocurrency for payment source. So that's why I have not bought anything direct with cryptocurrency.
Adoption isnt still available in every corners of the world which it isnt surprising that there would really be no available on using up directly with your crypto on buying something or getting some service etc.

Therefore, you wont really be having no options but to convert it to fiat first (which is mostly people been doing) before you could buy something that you wished for.
But in most cases on which people dont spend up their crypto because of the potential profits that it could give on future runs or long term thats why its unlikely to be used.
Unfortunately this is true for my nation as well. There aren't many things or places that you could use bitcoin on and that means we have to turn that to fiat first, move that to our bank account, and then use it that way. I am not saying that it is a good idea, but it is certainly not a great idea to keep that going neither.

We need to figure out a way to use crypto, unfortunately there are no visa cards or debit cards and what not that we could use here neither. I have always said that biggest adoption for crypto will come when every part of the world has cards that we can use to pay in crypto, and the shop will get it in fiat instantly, that way we can use our crypto to pay for anything.
1872  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Are we going to see a new altcoin boom soon on: March 29, 2022, 01:32:56 PM
not this soon mate instead in the next couple of years, there is no legit reason why this need to happen , and besides crypto market is still in the verge of dumping if this increase does not continue so never engage yourself in seeking too much increase because in the end of the day you will always fail lol.
try to focus in something worth to invest.
Why not? Bitcoin is now at 47k. That is a legit reason why alt's can boom soon. Dump seasons are over but we are now in the beginning of a bull run. Price can fall anytime of the day but the fall was tiny and it does not mean we are dumping again but dumps are a hard fall and it is consistent but right now what we are seeing is the price is stable with a small fluctuations.

Whenever you saw a price fall, you should buy immediately because that can give you an instant profit. The situation nowadays mostly favours the traders. Seeking too much increase is not good but we should stay realistic so that we won't disappoint ourselves.
1873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: March 28, 2022, 08:37:36 PM
Nepal vs PNG, Tri- Nation T-20I series 1st T-20 Nepal won by 15 runs.Nepal's played very well overall batting and bowling. PNG did good return but they didn’t do it.Unfortunately Their batsman didn’t finished it properly. But Nepal's have some good T-20 Experienced player. I hope PNG will win their next match.
I saw the first 10 overs batting of Nepal. They played quite well. And averaged more than 10 runs per over. They batted well enough. I thought maybe they could win easily. Papua New Guinea weak team. However, winning this match was not easy for Nepal. Norman Vanua played great. He has scored 52 runs from just 29 balls. However, in this series Nepal will maintain their dominance and win the series. New Guinea and Malaysia are very weak teams.
I am also having feeling about Nepal is improving in quality and doing good for last few years with their own local talent which is good thing for this country on other side we have same things happening in PNG because in last few tournaments they are participating they are also improving their quality and their local players are also having some good talent with they are regularly participating ICC related events.

Even results are not coming good for them but still good thing they are accepting their challenges and improving quality with local players if they keep playing like this no matter they will be good in short format and can enjoy good ride in big ICC tournaments in near future because their consistency will give them some good dividend.
1874  Economy / Economics / Re: What skills should I learn to get freelance work ..?? on: March 28, 2022, 07:25:25 PM
I don't think anybody should suggest the skills you have to learn for you, we are completely different, we all have the aspect which we have passion for, you know the aspect which you are having passion for so the best thing you should do is to learn skill in your place on interest, whenever you are doing work which you are having passion for you will notice you will do the work well and you will be happy whenever you are doing it and not only making money.
There are natural talents but why some can have multiple talents? that means it is truly possible to learn and to master every talents. There is nothing wrong of giving him a suggestion and he can try that out, see if that works for him or not but I like the rest of what you said, indeed it's best to choose the skill that we like the most because this can make use more comfortable.

We cannot feel too much fatigue than when we force ourselves to work on a job that pays high but we don't really have an interest with. Time will come that you will complain for that job and later on you will quit it. At some point of our lives we can realize that money isn't everything.
1875  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: You don't need to hodl a particular coin all your life on: March 27, 2022, 09:33:40 PM
I have loss many of my profit just for holding the coin when they were up and just sold them when they were at the low price, this is my biggest fall in the trading strategies because I didn't have a habit of holding the token for most of the time and I sell them when I need money or when I get frightened about losing the money in that coin which leads me towards the loss in these particular coin.
It's funny how you guys don't have the guts to sell a coin when it's at the top but you don't hesitate selling them once the price is collapsing but there is no problem of selling the coin when you badly need the money like you will be using that money into something else that is more important than hodling the coin. You said you are a trader? then that was fine to not hodl for too long because traders are active in buying and selling.

It's where the volatility that makes them earn a profit but for long term hodlers, it was the stability and the bull run that is important for them. You should not be here if you are afraid to lose. Investing or trading is for the brave guy's only.
1876  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which is better: Ethereum or the Binance Smart Chain? on: March 27, 2022, 06:48:15 PM
I use both. both ethereum and binance smart chain. all are networks that are said to be very popular. especially in the current year most smart chain networks are in use. but the weakness of this network is that there are different scam tokens. especially like me who is engaged in the bounty hunter field.
thank you
Are you a newbie in cryptos aren't you? Obviously because of your rank but if you only knew that eth was the popular coin used by the time ICO boom, you will say that eth or ICO scam tokens is much worst than the scam tokens that you saw today under the binance network.

ICO have died down and with the unexpected rise fees in eth that's the time most of the coin devs migrated on a cheaper option. That was also the time where binance smart chain have created. Your into bounty? why try joining bounties managed by reputable managers because they are doing measures to prevent handling scam bounties. You will have a higher chance to get paid that way.
1877  Economy / Economics / Re: Ukraine has legalized the cryptosector on: March 26, 2022, 09:18:15 PM
Open information is still playing against Ukraine. The other day in Kyiv, a shopping center near my house was destroyed by rockets, because some idiot posted a photo of vehicles passing by. But when it comes to cryptocurrency, I don't think it's so critical that information can be tracked. It will still be more quantitative than qualitative information and it is unlikely to reveal key positions. Cryptocurrency is not transferred directly to the final wallet, there are ways to hide some moments. Of course, they can also be revealed, but it takes time. And it is this time that we can win and use to our advantage.
Of course they do, but the point is that if they did it before the war started, they could have bought like hundreds of the same weapons, and get ready a lot better. I am not saying that they are too late, they were not, the donations certainly helped and building one drone warplane or whatever they are called does take a bit of time, so even if you paid Bayraktar company 100 billion dollars, which it wouldn't cost that much, you wouldn't be able to get them all in the same day, this is not Amazon order.

Donations in crypto allowed Ukraine to buy drones that blow up tanks, just imagine that for a second, we are REALLY living in the future right now and it is not looking good.
1878  Economy / Speculation / Re: Expect Bullrun this year again! on: March 26, 2022, 03:56:50 PM
This week the price of Bitcoin has risen more than 8%, I will be increasingly optimistic that Bull Run will soon occur, and soon the FIFA World Cup will soon be a lot of Cryptocurrencies into an official sponsor and currently there is Crypto.com which will soon be followed by Cryptocurrencies other. Maybe Bull Run happens in August or 4 months again.
what does FIFA did in the past that helps boosting crypto market? for how many years of this market yet i remember nothing that FIFA BRINGS BEST RESULT.

so i think i will close my beliefs in this part and will expect nothing in effect.
FIFA just agreed that world cup official sponsor will be crypto.com, which means that the worlds most watched sports event will have crypto.com written every single place. It is just surreal to imagine so many people seeing crypto.com all the time. It is not like we are talking about some weird name like kraken, or binance, which people may not know what it is all about.

But, crypto.com says crypto in the name and people will see that. You have no idea how many people views those games and that means there will be maybe a billion people checking something with crypto ad. I am bullish on it for sure, do not like the app myself, but definitely bullish on bitcoin.
1879  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Donating With Bitcoin on: March 25, 2022, 09:56:29 AM
Yeah sure why not, you can try but as others have stated, i doubt that too many people here would be interested outside of those whom share the same faith as you do. I think personally that a lot of “bitcoiners” don’t tend to be very religious, so you might not find too much support here but why not try.

I have hosted several charity auctions here with great success, so it’s worth giving it a shot.
Well, I think it all depends. If people are able to verify that what you’re actually saying is truth then there is the possibility that they will like to donate to it. But, if there isn’t any way at all for them to really prove that what you are talking about is true, then most people are going to have doubt about donating to you because they don’t know if you are being honest with them or not.

Although I don’t think the OP is looking for donation on this forum, I think he’s just saying that he would like to start up a crypto donation and refer his friends who are into cryptocurrency to also make donation to the mosque by using Bitcoin or maybe any other cryptocurrency of their choice.
1880  Economy / Economics / Re: Ukraine has legalized the cryptosector on: March 25, 2022, 06:33:15 AM
I think you might be overestimating how much money they "could have made" with Bitcoin. In fact you are severly underestimating the amount of money countries deal with. A few billion is just a drop of water on the hot pan. In the end, it won't have as great of an effect as you think. Yes, they could have bought weapons with that money, but not enough to make a significant difference.

But you are right in saying they should have adopted Bitcoin a long time ago. It would have definitely benefited their economy.
A few billion dollars is not drop in a pan for many nations. It could be for the USA, or UK, or even Russia/China duo. But when we are talking about Ukraine, that amount is a lot of money. You know all those bayraktar drones that they are using right now and how they have been defeating many Russians using those drones?

It costs less than 10 million dollars to buy one. You could literally order 100 of those for a billion dollars. Do you realize how much power 100 drones gives you? They have done this with like a dozen, add in 100 on top of that and they would have already beaten Russia right now and kicked them out of the Kiev region and everywhere else with that much drones. So yes, 1 billion is a lot, at least for a war torn Ukraine.
