1901  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Lost 17500$ during recent downswing, Now completely broke. on: May 20, 2021, 11:52:52 PM
Sorry for your loss, but maybe you learned something especially you can achieve $17500 from $350 maybe you already good in trading and only need to maintain emotion. Maybe with this you can know how to be patient and took a right moment so you not do same mistake again. Hope you can get your profit back soon.
right, psychology plays the most important role in trade. although in practice it is always contrary to conscience. controlling emotions when we are floating minus or floating plus until we reach the target is not easy, and we are required to master it

As I have often said, trading is not an easy thing to do, we can make big profits and can also experience big losses too. It depends on how we control
our emotions when trading, because I agree with you that psychology is the most important part of trading. Therefore, for those who can control
their emotions well when trading, 70% of success should be obtained, maybe the rest is related to technical problems.

it's not human nature, greed in trading there is a ridiculous thing that must be eliminated,
I'm sure everyone has their own way, because if we are greedy in trading we always do that, then you will never win,
I always remind everyone , that greed is the key to trading
Greed is part of human nature. But we all have our own ways of dealing with it. Good and experienced traders, are fine to take profits around 10%-20% and that would have it a safe profit taking.

While the newbies that just got in because of FOMO, they'll think of more than 100% profit and that leads them to lose even their own capital. It's true that it must be eliminated but it should start on our own.

I really agree that greed should be eliminated when trading, but the problem is not that easy to get rid of greed in us. It takes a long process,
because we have different abilities to be able to control the greed within us. Even professional traders often get out of control and end up
experiencing losses when trading. Actually, in my opinion, greed doesn't need to be eliminated 100%, but just minimizing it is enough.
Indeed, starting from ourselves to overcome greed is something that must be done, before we advise others.

Well, I find this campaign hilarious! Is this how hard to convince people to have themselves vaccinated that you had to give them hopes to win prized after being vaccinated? I think it would be better to fix their behavior first and teach/let them know the consequences of them not being vaccinated and the pro sequences when they are. They would only make the people feel that they aren’t trustworthy enough to have the vaccination to the mass executed.

I agree with this lottery offering proving that it is indeed very difficult to convince people to want a vaccine. Maybe in addition to this lottery offering,
more education should be made to many people about the importance of vaccines. But the idea of offering a lottery for people willing to get a vaccine is
a brilliant idea not many other governments are doing. Perhaps what the Ohio government is doing is starting to be followed by other regions in America,
if it can be followed by other countries as well.
1904  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: May 20, 2021, 03:43:22 AM
Yep, in that match, Osasuna was leading the score first and Atletico almost got defeated or got a draw result. They were lucky having Suarez who can score on the minute 88' to make Atletico got 3 points.

What did you say? Lucky? I Think It's Scoring, Even though I'm an Atletico Madrid fan, I don't like it when they win like that.

It seems they are stalling for time in the first half because I am very confident that with ball possession above 70% they should have scored 2 goals in the first half.

There is no such thing as a coincidence.

Actually, if we look at the data of the Atletico vs Osasuna match, it is very clear that Atletico deserve to win, and I agree that Atletico's victory
cannot be called coincidence or luck. In fact, Atletico should have scored a goal first through Stefan Savic in the 59th minute, unfortunately
the goal was annulled by the referee. Throughout the match there were not many chances that Osasuna could make, it should have been
if Sergio Herrera didn't play well, Osasuna can concede at least 5 goals. Since the beginning of the match Atletico continued to dominate the match,
There are lots of opportunities created for Atletico, so Atletico have shown that they are serious about winning the Champions trophy.

https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/bitcoin-plunges-17-after-elon-musk-tweet-on-tesla-not-accepting-cryptocurrency-11620873189800.html

"We are concerned about rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels for Bitcoin mining and transactions, especially coal, which has the worst emissions of any fuel," Musk wrote.

I smell shenanigans.
a strange statement indeed. because when compared to the system from banks and gold,
of course Bitcoin is the cheapest and most efficient, this is a fact and cannot be denied, for whatever reason Elon made FUD like this and dumped prices,
then made a statement about Tesla not selling Bitcoin? haha very funny game he does

These are just scenarios that Elon Musk created in order to manipulate the Bitcoin market, I hope the crypto community will soon be aware of
the game Elon Musk is doing to get personal benefits. Therefore we should immediately move on from Elon Musk, because don't let us become
weak hand who are affected by what Elon Musk said. It is very visible from all the statements made by Elon Musk on twitter to make the price of
Bitcoin fall. In the end, it will also reveal that all this Elon Musk is doing is just for his own benefit.
1906  Economy / Speculation / Re: new tax rumor on crypto on: May 19, 2021, 11:19:00 PM
with the tax news flying around , the crypto market was really hit hard and still crawling from recovery. if finally validated, what effects will it have on crypto markets and its traders. please share your views and thoughts.
There are countries that taxed their users, but so far here in our country, we are not, maybe the regulators have overlooked us or they think that we are a small community that they need not tax us, but with Cryptocurrency a growing community and an advancing industry here in our country, they will one day caught us and make us pay taxes, I should be prepared for this.

At the end of the day every country has different rules regarding taxes on crypto. There are countries that impose taxes every time we make profit
from crypto, other country do not impose taxes at all. Depending on which country we live in, in my country the government has not yet taxed
income earned from cryptocurrency. Likewise in your country, maybe the crypto community is still considered small. So the government hasn't
imposed taxes yet, but I agree with you, someday in the end if the crypto community is getting bigger surely the government will impose taxes.

With Haaland's price being so high I also doubt any club can afford to pay in the current financial crisis situation. Indeed, my prediction is
the possibility that Haaland will stay at Dortmund at least for one season. Who knows in the next season the pandemic is over and the finances of big clubs are back to normal again, so Dortmund can sell Haaland at a good price.
When big clubs fall in love with one player, and if they have huge budget from corporations like PSG or Manchester City, they can make surprising big transfers. I agree the financial crisis will make them to think more carefully, think twice but it won't restrict their ability to do big transfers.

Haaland is a young player and he has a long career ahead. He is worth for big transfer.

I agree that sometimes clubs with big budgets like PSG and Manchester City often give surprises, but now in a situation of financial crisis,
I think PSG and Manchester City will definitely consider bringing in another attacker who may be cheaper. There are several names of other
attackers such as Harry Kane and Lewandowski who are other alternatives if they fail to meet  an agreement regarding Haaland's transfer fee.
The latest news regarding Haaland, Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said that because Dortmund qualified for the Champions League
next season, Dortmund will try to keep Erling Haaland for at least one more season. Still a puzzle for Haaland's future, we'll see what
the ending looks like.
1908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2020/2021 on: May 19, 2021, 08:17:00 AM
In fact, teams that are definitely relegated sometimes they make a surprise that basically the top team is sure to win, but in the end it's just a draw or even a defeat for the top team. Entering the final minutes of the match to be 1-1 and at least there is still time left now, maybe United can score a goal in the extra time because I also bet on United and once again, the teams who are relegated play carefree or the top teams are not focused. still hard to predict! Cry
You lost your bet unfortunately. Manchester Utd could have won this if they wanted but it ended 1-1. Fulham had nothing to lose like you said and they managed to get a draw in this. This kind of games are always risky to bet on. So, I preferred not betting on it.  Grin

You are absolutely right, better off not betting on formality matches like the Manchester United vs Fulham match. Because whatever the result of
the match does not change anything, so both teams will play carefree, and the match will be more difficult to predict. And it's proven that
Manchester United are not trying to win the match, it will be a disappointing match for those betting to win Manchester United.
1909  Economy / Speculation / Re: What make people panic sell? on: May 18, 2021, 11:47:56 PM
There are still many people who continue to compare the increase this year with what happened in 2017, as well as when the Bitcoin price
suddenly dumped. Many people end up comparing what happened in 2018, which is why the current Bitcoin price has dropped below $ 50k.
Quite a number of people panic selling, they are afraid that the events of 2018 will happen again, when at that time Bitcoin fell very deeply.
Even though if we do research and analysis properly, we should be aware that the events in 2018 are very different from today's events.
Moreover, this year there are several institutions that are still holding Bitcoin, the price of Bitcoin shouldn't go down too far. I am sure the Bitcoin
price will recover very soon in the next few days, and the Bitcoin price will again rise above the $ 50k price tag.
Considering relative price movements I can understand the panic because if the price falls a lot there is also more money needed to bring it back to where it was. Yes there are more players involved now but it is still all relative. Bringing it back to $60k isn't just guaranteed to be happening within no time. It is a more difficult decision to get into Bitcoin today than it was in 2017 when it was relatively cheap and it felt like there was a lot of potential.

The price drop below $ 50k is actually still reasonable, because Bitcoin price now at $ 45k is still very high when compared to Bitcoin price in 2020.
But still a lot of people panic, because maybe they are panicking because they bought Bitcoin at the price of $ 60k, and there is no guarantee that
Bitcoin will return to a price of $ 60k anytime soon. But actually what many Bitcoin holders should know, Bitcoin is the best performing asset this
year and its movement since it was created has continued to increase. So if the price of Bitcoin goes down, we don't need to panic, because I think
the future for Bitcoin is very bright. This means that no matter how deep the Bitcoin price falls, sooner or later the price will definitely go up even
higher. So investing in Bitcoin does require trust and patience.
1910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: May 18, 2021, 10:55:23 PM
The pandemic and financial crisis in football clubs will help Dortmund to have Erling Haaland one or two more seasons. I think Dortmund will let him go in the next summer season. It will help them to avoid risk if Haaland rejects to sign a new contract when his current contract has only 2 seasons left.

One more season in Dortmund might help Haaland grows up more as a key striker. It will help Dortmund to have better deal on the transfer deal. One more year can help nations and football clubs recover financially. It is a win win situation for all.
Yes, winning the cup and qualifying for the Champions League will probably mean they can keep Haaland for at least another year. In addition, no top club will be able or willing to pay 100+ million for Haaland at the moment. However, it looks different with Sancho. I think he will leave Dortmund for England this year. Since his performance this season was not as good as last season, his market value has also dropped. Therefore, Dortmund could sell him at offers of 70-80 Mio +.

With Haaland's price being so high I also doubt any club can afford to pay in the current financial crisis situation. Indeed, my prediction is
the possibility that Haaland will stay at Dortmund at least for one season. Who knows in the next season the pandemic is over and the finances of
big clubs are back to normal again, so Dortmund can sell Haaland at a good price.

Regarding Jadon Sancho, whose appearance has decreased significantly compared to the previous season, it seems like Manchester United are
no longer interested in buying him, even though the price has decreased considerably. Because according to the Manchester United legend,
Lee Sharpe suggested that Man United buy Jack Grealish, who has performed much better this season than Sancho. And it's possible that
Grealish's price won't be as expensive as Sancho.

I also see that the development of online gambling has increased since last year, especially since many traditional casinos have closed in 2020.
This is what triggers gamblers to finally choose to play online gambling. This year more increasing number of online gambling users, because
the pandemic has not ended, many people have visited online gambling sites. Moreover,  the current situation of many people is experiencing
a financial crisis, finally there are those who argue that online gambling can be a source of income. It's such a wrong thought, because after all
online gambling should be just entertainment. Because the more often we play online gambling, the greater our losses will be.
I hope they can manage their money while still playing online gambling because they need to think about their lives and survive in this pandemic. No one knows when the pandemic is over and if they still use their money to playing gambling to make money, it will difficult to survive and buy the food. There is no guarantee to win from offline and online gambling, so they need to aware of that. The financial crisis is the next problem that people faced after the virus because they need to survive.

We really have to be wise in managing our finances in a pandemic situation like now, do not use money to buy food to use for play gambling.
Indeed, our problem is not only facing a pandemic that has not ended, but almost everyone experiences financial problems. The main priority is
to buy daily necessities, after that if there is extra money left, we can use it to play gambling. Therefore, if we want to play gambling, my advice is
that we have to find a permanent job, so we can have a steady income. So from the salary we get, we can separate budget for playing gambling,
such a way is better to do.
1912  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it risky to invest in new crytpo coin/tokens??? on: May 17, 2021, 11:52:33 PM
Many of us were well known the Coinmarketcap from where we receive all cryptocurrency like coins and tokens details like on which exchange they listed, what is the 24-hour treading volume, or which platform they based on, etc. These days many new crypto coins and tokens was introducing and listing on many exchanges and It makes a very difficult decision for the investor to choose which coins or tokens should they invest to make some good profit. Many of the new cryptocurrency was makes a good pump in their stating days and after they dump in a very dramatic way. This cause a big loss to the investors and the trust in these types to new coins and tokens was finished. So, the main question is that Is it risky to invest in new crypto coins/tokens? or it is good for a very certain time of investment?
All must be at risk, sometimes the coins that we hold and believe have a good price potential but sometimes our research misses and we lose.
Investing in cryptocurrency must be a big risk.
Gaining profits and losses is part of our life with cryptocurrencies.

Not all the results of the research and analysis that we do are accurate, as you say, sometimes the potential coins that we expect will go up in price,
moving down and making us lose. It's a common thing in the crypto world, therefore always use money that we can afford to lose. So when
the market changes not according to what we predict we will not panic, and can hold until the price goes up again. So investing in cryptocurrency is
indeed very risky, we must be diligent in learning how to predict price movements and also be able to control emotions when investing in crypto.
Because it is not easy to become a successful investor in the crypto world.
1913  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What if Elon musk launches his own coin? on: May 17, 2021, 11:19:48 PM
Do you think an altcoin created by Elon musk will do well in the market?
Elon Musk recent activities indicate that he will open his own project or pump coin doge for planned purposes, it is very easy for him to make a bullish tweet just need to tag Tesla and it is also easy for him to burn crypto prices with bad tweets.

It must be admitted that Elon Musk has quite a large influence in the crypto world, everything he said on Twitter has influenced many people.
Dogecoin could experience a very significant increase this year because Elon Musk continues to promote Dogecoin through his twitter.
Then recently Elon Musk said bad things about Bitcoin and finally made the Bitcoin price fall. So if Elon Musk makes altcoins, I believe his own
coin development can be very good in the market, so maybe Elon Musk's next plan will be to make his own coin.
1914  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online gambling becomes popular on: May 17, 2021, 10:19:27 PM
The pandemic gives a chance for online gambling to grows and since the last year, I think the number of people who visit online gambling has increased. That can increase more this year since we are still in the pandemic. We do not know when it will over. Even if the vaccine is now available in many countries, that does not mean people can go out for free because they still need to be careful and it is better to stay at home for more. So that can make not just online gambling but the other business can grow because people tend to use online to communicate or do their works and playing gambling.

I also see that the development of online gambling has increased since last year, especially since many traditional casinos have closed in 2020.
This is what triggers gamblers to finally choose to play online gambling. This year more increasing number of online gambling users, because

1915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 17, 2021, 10:13:41 AM
there are speculations that fc liverpool would rather sign the defender Ibrahima Konate from leipzig instead of Ozan Kabak
I'm pretty sure we will not be signing Kabak. We were ready to walk away from that deal in the winter when Schalke wanted a loan deal with an obligation to buy in the summer.
He has potential, but I feel he will never be on a level good enough for Liverpool.

To be fair, I don't like Konate as well - but can understand the logic behind that deal. From what I understand Liverpool is willing to meet the release clause but is trying to agree multiple payments instead of paying the whole amount upfront - something you have to do when triggering the release clause.

I'm sure they will reach an agreement soon, maybe Liverpool is also waiting to see if they will get the CL spot or not. Money will be an issue again this season.

It looks like Liverpool are getting closer to getting Ibrahima Konate, especially since Konate's release clause is quite affordable.
Most likely this Konate move would happen, I think Liverpool need Konate's presence to fix Liverpool's weaknesses in defense.
Because Ozan Kabak's appearance was not what Klopp expected, therefore Liverpool will not buy Kabak. Because the pandemic
hasn't ended, so Liverpool also don't have a large budget to buy players, so they have to buy players who are affordable.
Konate is the right choice in my opinion, I hope Konate's appearance doesn't disappoint like Ozan Kabak.
1916  Economy / Economics / Re: Binance under investigation on: May 16, 2021, 10:50:25 PM
Binance.com has been one of the world's largest exchanges by trading volume for a long time. Altcoins on Binance have been over-pumped recently and they have fake volume.
I am not surprised that Binance.com has been investigated because, in the past major exchanges such as Bifinex, Huobi or Okex have been investigated. Bitmex CEO Arthur Hayes has also been sued and jailed for money laundering. It is normal and necessary to investigate an exchange. If Binance.com makes a mistake they are responsible for their actions.

It is not surprising that Binance was investigated by the American government in the end. because the US government has been investigating
exchanges for a long time. As you said it is not only Binance that is investigated by the American government. Since several other exchanges
have been investigated, the US government just wants to make sure that Binance is not carrying out any illegal activities. As long as Binance
hasn't done anything wrong, there shouldn't be any worries about the investigations the American government is carrying out.
1917  Economy / Economics / Re: Will China take over the world with the Digital Yuan? on: May 16, 2021, 09:31:35 PM
Chinese Yuan is one of the most manipulated currencies in the world and there is no reason for anyone to suspect that the Digital Yuan will be any better. Within China, there will be some acceptability for this new CBDC, but why should anyone outside China use this currency? And there is zero chance that any of the Bitcoin users in China or in other countries would shift to Digital Yuan, since Bitcoin is much superior in comparison.

It really doesn't make sense that Bitcoin users will switch to using Digital Yuan, because in fact there is no strong reason why everyone outside
China should use Digital Yuan. But if many Chinese citizens use Digital Yuan I can still understand. Even though China is a big country, I don't believe
China can make the Digital Yuan for international transactions. So it is impossible that China will rule the world with Digital Yuan.
1918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: May 16, 2021, 03:22:40 PM
They may not have wanted to get tired because they guaranteed the championship. Because they have the strength to beat Freiburg comfortably.  
  
  Lewandowski, who reached 40 goals scored by Gerd Müller in the 1971-72 season, became a partner in this record. If he can score against Augsburg in the last Bundesliga match, he will make Germany Football history as the only player to score more than 40 goals in a season.
Probably so, Bayern they played football for fun and did not think about the result. Lewandowski scored, but I would not say that he really wanted to do it, he just had a penalty and he was given the opportunity to do it. There may be a penalty kick in the last match too. Wink
I think the Bayern Munich's players are neglected smaller teams. But Bayern Munich's players play with their full strength against the big teams. Bayern Munich's win against Gladbach was needed. And Bayern's players have done a great job against Gladbach. But Bayern's players did not perform as expected against Feriburg.

It was a little disappointing for the Freiburg vs Bayern match which ended in a draw, very far compared to when Bayern beat Monchengladbach
with a score of 6-0. Even though Bayern dominated the match, and also the players who are deployed are also the main team. But I don't see
Bayern's attacks as effective, too many shots off target. In contrast to Freiburg, they play very effectively and take full advantage of
the opportunities. Hopefully the last game against Augsburg, Bayern's game could be much better.
1919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online gambling risks during coronavirus pandemic on: May 16, 2021, 12:44:00 PM
Usually people start to mess their lives after playing gambling using borrowed money, because gambling is not used as a source of income.
So it is very dangerous if someone forces to play gambling using borrowed money, I make sure that the person in the future will experience
very severe financial problems. Moreover, the person is addicted to gambling, using borrowed money will only make his life ruined, and it could
end that all his assets are used up to pay off debts. That's why playing gambling must have a separate budget and it comes from the extra
money we have.
We already see many examples of people who borrow money and use it to gamble. They think that the money can help them to make money but they are wrong. Even if you borrow the money for other things, it could still be dangerous for you because you need to repay it. If you do not have a source income or do not have a job, you will confuse about how you can pay the money back. If the addicted person borrows the money, that will not take too long to see if he will lose that money unless he can get lucky to win from the game to repay the money and take the rest of the money.

It is true that we do not recommend using borrowed money for anything, because we will bear the burden of paying installments.
It will make us become depressed in living life, it is better if we use the money according to our respective abilities. But indeed many
people find playing gambling using borrowed money, and I have not found anyone who is lucky to win gambling with borrowed money.
Although there is definitely a very small percentage. Especially in a pandemic situation like now, which is very difficult to make money.
So don't try to borrow money to play gambling.

Do people really still think it goes to 0?
There are a huge number of people in the world who bought bitcoins in 2018 and failed when the rate fell. Moreover, he fell much more than they expected. Perhaps they think the next fall is coming soon ...
