1881  Economy / Exchanges / Re: SEC sues Coinbase on: June 06, 2023, 12:39:45 PM
Interesting days ahead and I can see bitcoin price going even more down.
An opportunity to buy more.

Bitcoin falled to $25388 yesterday. It falled to $25351 today. No big difference yet. I noticed a big dropped in 30 minutes ago but not that falled more below yesterday's lowest price.
1882  Economy / Speculation / Re: SEC Lawsuit Against Binance Is Likely To Hit Bitcoin Price on: June 06, 2023, 11:14:30 AM
At the end of the day Binance is primarily an altcoin exchange and whatever happens to it should affect the altcoin market significantly not bitcoin's. But realistically speaking the FUD always finds its way to the bitcoin market and affects the weak hands hence causing the drops like we've seen too many times in the past.
Besides, what SEC does to Binance is not the issue here, what the FUD is going to be and how it will affect the market is the only thing that matters.
I just want to say that bitcoin is the most traded coin on Binance. I checked spot trading for bitcoin, ether and Binance coin on Binance, Binance coin is not near the trading volume of ether, while bitcoin trading volume is higher than ether which I think is the second most traded coin on Binance.

Let me use yesterday trading volume as examples:

Using bitcoin price of $26770
Ether price of $1818

Spot market:
BTC/USDT: 65805 = $1.76 billion
ETH/USDT: 555361 = $1 billion

USDT-M futures:
BTCUSDT: 700502 = $18.75 billion
ETHUSDT: 4260000 = $7.74 billion

Coin-M:
BTCUSD: 111834 = $2.99 billion
ETHUSD: 714927 = $1.3 billion

Binance coin is very low. Also other coins are lower to both bitcoin and ether, but ether is still almost 2 times or more than 2 times lower in trading volume than bitcoin on Binance. Binance is truly an altcoin exchange as it encourages many altcoins, but bitcoin is the most traded coin on the exchange.

What is affecting the crypto market is also affecting bitcoin too, but just that altcoins are more volatile and riskier.
1883  Economy / Speculation / Re: Time to Hodl or buy the Dip? on: June 06, 2023, 10:32:32 AM
I have said this before, that I am not buy much until bitcoin gets to $20000. But if it is a month to halving and that has not yet happened, I will buy more.

My advice for now is to continue to DCA.

For people that are holding already, they should not sell, bitcoin all-time-high is coming, which would be after halving. For people that wants to buy the deep, they should be patient, or they can DCA, or they can do that now because the profit is coming. The best period to buy bitcoin is not yet over.
1884  Economy / Economics / Re: Binance crisis - how will it affect the crypto market? on: June 06, 2023, 10:09:32 AM
- In your opinion, is this a consequence of increased pressure on China by the U.S.?
This has nothing to do with China.

Binance is the largest exchange, and the lawsuit by the US's SEC would surely affect the crypto space, but this effect is expected to douse over time as this is still an allegation, and it will remain as such until the court delivers its verdict.
After the news, bitcoin fall from over $27000, down to almost $25000. Some people like to panic or to make use of such market situation to sell. SEC sued Binance, but not that Binance is closing down, or Binance go hacked, but which could have caused more downtrend.
1885  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin(BTC) vs wrappedBitcoin(wBTC) on: June 05, 2023, 11:03:05 PM
3. Wrapped bitcoin can only be traded on decentralized exchanges, liquidity was added by some persons, if those persons who added the liquidity decide to withdraw it, you are completely locked in and no way to sell your supposed bitcoin..
Wrapped bitcoin can be traded too on centralized exchanges. It is not bitcoin though.

It was a lengthy discussion, but in the end, he asked what to do, I advised him to unstake his wrapped bitcoin and sell it immediately, then use the money to buy the real Bitcoin and hold on a good and trusted non custodial wallet like the one I'm currently using(mycelium), though not particular the best, but very trust worthy.
He did not tell you the amount he is staking, It could be a big amount of bitcoin. You should let him know the differences between hot and cold wallets and why cold wallets are important.
1886  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which League Makes Sports Betting Easy to Win? on: June 05, 2023, 07:32:25 PM
There are many leagues in the world and going for the highest league in each country is good. Like in Africa, I prefer to go for Egypt and Tunisia highest leagues. Morrocco too sometimes.

I like South American leagues, most especially Brazil Seria A and B. Argentina too, but not all the time. I do not use to bet on these leagues but the few I bet, I win than lose.

But I prefer EPL more than any league and also European football generally.

When I was still betting daily, I do go through https://www.livescores.com/ and see the better leagues that are playing daily, make some analyses to know the best clubs to take for that day. But that can be a kind of addiction.

If you check the prediction sites and also live score sites, you will definitely see leagues to choose from daily. I am not advising on daily bet though.
1887  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Blockchain Exchange holding my funds (1.25 BTC) hostage for 45 days already on: June 05, 2023, 02:35:25 PM
Is this blockchain.com exchange?

Sorry for the inconveniences.

Only there customer care can help you.

But did you know that you caused this to yourself? You are not exchanging to any coin, why did you transfer your coins to the exchange part which is different from the wallet?

Use a noncustodial wallet for saving your coins. You can use Electrum for that, or a hardware wallet for large amount.
1888  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Beginners Should Avoid Leveraged Tokens Trading on: June 05, 2023, 08:57:48 AM
I have seen this on Kucoin and Bybit. If you want to trade leverage token on both exchanges, you will see a warning, about how it should be used for short time trading and how risky it is.

On Bybit:

 



On Kucoin:



If you click on the product information on Kucoin, you will see better explanation.

Is it not like that on MEXC too?

The exchanges I see such tokens, there are always warning about it.
1889  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: European Sex Championship , Will you Bet? on: June 04, 2023, 12:00:35 PM
Is this for real or rumor?

Quote
Talking about the participants, 20 people from different countries have applied for the Championship now. The winners will be determined through three juries and audience ratings. In each discipline, participants can score between 5 and 10 points. The contestants will compete in 16 disciplines which include seduction, oral sex, penetration, appearance, body massages, exploring erotic zones, position changes, creativity in the positions, number of orgasms and endurance.

You as a gambler..
1. What do you make of this?, is sex truly a sport and is it supposed to be carried out openly?
2. If casinos pick this up and make provisions available to users to bet on this supposed European sex Championship, would you bet?
This is pornography, not sport.

You are only wasting your time. You will use high leverage, but your liquidation price would be very close to the extent of getting your trading fund liquidated.

I'll post here results when i have done this my PNL from binance.
Before you open any position, let us know your entry price. And also let us know your closing price after you close the position.
1891  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bybit is the next to exit Canada, stating regulatory reason on: June 04, 2023, 08:03:18 AM
You can also look at it as a blessing in disguise if you don't want centralization of power. Being reliant on Binance or other exchanges is not really a good idea in the long run IMO. Obviously, people will always want the best service, so I hope there will be competitors that come out of something like this. I guess we need to see if there will be new businesses that follow the regulations or not, or if banks will take the chance to increase their influence on the market.
If you want a decentralized exchanges , you can go for Bisq.

If you want no KYC exchanges, you can go for any of these exchanges: https://kycnot.me

There is a thread on this forum about no KYC exchanges: Current list of exchanges without KYC

There are competitors.

There are almost 700 exchanges in the world now.
1892  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My spot Market trading stradegy what u think on: June 03, 2023, 06:37:08 PM
Somethimes i use hedge with short btc or eth short with 3x leverage no SL but instead of SL I HAVE 5x Lev order added extra on top of the 3x leverage short position just higher then liq price in case the sudden drop of price.
So i will win or at least don't lose my loss is just small profit or brakeven.
I use to use 3x leverage bear/bull tokenz but since FTX case those kind of things can not be trusted anymore Also the NAV issue (balance reset not quite faovoreble 4 me )
This is called martingale strategy as it is gambling too. If you go for 1x and losing, you will go for higher leverage. It is tempting traders to use a higher leverage which makes this kind of strategy to be very dangerous. Averaging is better and make trading or investment to be less risky, unlike the martingale strategy that makes trading and investment to be riskier, making money loss to be more possible.
1893  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My spot Market trading stradegy what u think on: June 03, 2023, 05:29:08 PM
Assuming you have $1000. You invest just $100. If you gain you take your profit. But if you lose, you invest more and more until you invest the $1000.

This is a good strategy and one of the averaging strategies. It makes the risk in your trading or investment to be minimal than to use the $1000 at ones. But also the profit can be minimal.

But it is important you have a better planning of when to invest more and more for it not to be done at the wrong time which may lead to significant loss.
1894  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Committed Suicide After Losing School fees, And That Of Friend To Betting.. on: June 03, 2023, 08:54:04 AM
So sorry to the family of the victim. It is sad to see this.

Some people do not think about the consequences of using high amount of money on gambling, but when they lose the huge amount of money, they will be depressed and some people will feel like killing themselves. He is young, but he supposed to have faced what comes after and change for good. If there is life there is hope.

Supposing he knows about this forum, maybe he would have learned some lessons from what we are posting.
1895  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: One or more trading strategies, which one do you prefer? on: June 03, 2023, 08:08:15 AM
Personally, I don't have issues with that, many of my trading strategies can stand alone. But experience chose for me over time. I now combine trading strategies and it has helped me to better filter my trading signals for greater performance. And if any of that strategies did not confirm the same signal, I do not go for it.
Do you mean trading indicators? Becuase it is indicators that can be pointing to one direction.

Using little amount of money, stop loss, take profit, martingale (very risky), the type of trading (like swing, day trading and scalping), the leverage used, how you analyse market with indicators, the type of mode used and everything you are doing to make profit from trading can be regarded as strategy.

Everything a trader did to make profit, or that result to loss is called trading strategy. So it would be good to specific on one part, like the indicators used, the trading type and the likes instead of generalizing on the strategies used.

In trading, most traders naturally developed different strategies as one is not working, the trader move to another to see if it would works. Traders prefer to focus on the one that best worked for them to achieve the profit they want from trading.
1896  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 7 tips to know about crypto trading on: June 02, 2023, 09:11:51 AM
The more money you put into crypto trading the more money you get and also there is a high risk losses without proper risk management in place.
This may be true but it is not entirely true because trading profitability also depends on a trader itself. The more money used can result to more losses for most common traders.

Determination, consistency and practice makes you a better trader.
If you are trading and continue to fail and lose for a very long time, it is better to leave your determination and find other ways to make money like holding or going for swing trading. But determination can truly help.
1897  Economy / Exchanges / Coinbase Derivatives Exchange set to roll out BTC and ETH futures on: June 02, 2023, 08:28:15 AM
I have read about Coinbase plan to establish a derivative exchange outside of US some weeks ago but now I know the company mean business. It is what Coinbase was not thinking about until the tough regulation from United States regulators. In United States, you can not even leverage.

On June 1, Coinbase revealed its plans to introduce Bitcoin and Ether futures contracts on June 5 through its Commodity Futures Trading Commission-regulated derivatives exchange. The futures contracts will be targeted toward institutional investors.

Position that can be opened will be up to 5x and it is in BTCUSDC and ETHUSDC. Probably other trading pairs would be added later. Using USDC for it can be enough, as I know Coinbase to have been only supporting USDC stable coin.

But why Coinbase not going for BTCUSDT and ETHUSDT contracts too? On some exchanges that I am using, like Bybit and OKX, you can see both USDT and USDC contract. While on others that I am using like Binance, Kucoin and Huobi Global, only USDT is there because it is the most stablecoin with the highest liquidity. Why Coinbase do not like USDT future contracts?
1898  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Risk management on: June 02, 2023, 07:50:00 AM
When trading there are rules to observe in other to protect your margin
To protect your margin? What do you mean by margin? Or you mean too protect the trading fund?

Focus on the risk not rewards.
A good trader will focus on both risk and reward.

Reacting to risk, use stop loss and always take profit.
This is correct. There are times I waited to gain more and the price reversed and no more favour me. Sometimes, it can correct itself back while sometimes, especially if I use high leverage, it might lead to money loss.
1899  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you use a VPN on a casino, even if it is not allowed in their ToS? on: June 01, 2023, 03:49:58 PM
Online gambling is legal in my country, but sometimes I have to travel to a country where it is illegal. I then use a VPN to be able to access the site. This is one of the reasons why some casinos allow people to use VPNs..... but you are still taking a huge risk.
Best to first contact the gambling site customers care to know about the country that you are going to, to know if they will allow you to use VPN. If they said no, better not to gamble in the country until you go back to your country. I will expect the customer care to say no though.

Now, the question is.... Will you still use a VPN, if it is not allowed by the ToS on the site. What will you do if they "block" your account and take your balance?
VPN is not allowed according to the gambling site TOS, then why using it. Do not use VPN if stated on the TOS.
1900  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC/LTC pair. Buying LTC Halving on: June 01, 2023, 03:22:25 PM
So you don't expect the LTC vs BTC price to increase during or after the LTC halving? Shall I keep my savings in BTC?
Yes, you can. After bitcoin halving, the price of cryptocurrencies do increase, I do not think that will not still happen again after bitcoin halving which would be around March or April next year.
