21  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: IS IT SAFE TO INVEST PENSION FUNDS IN BITCOIN? on: May 03, 2023, 11:14:18 PM

I spoke to a friend about Bitcoin and he asked if it is safe to invest Pension funds in Bitcoin considering the fact that this is a retirement saving. I am skeptical of investing people's funds in this coin because it can't be predicted also we cannot overlook the fact that Bitcoin may enhance investment returns at retirement.
However, my findings from people that work in these organizations say contributor's funds in some categories can be invested in risky investments because of the high return on investment and contributors have the option to opt for this option but with the exception of the soon-to-retiree.
As you noted, pension funds typically have a fiduciary responsibility to safeguard their contributors' retirement savings and ensure their long-term financial security. This means that pension funds must balance the potential risks and rewards of different investment options, taking into account factors such as volatility, liquidity, and regulatory oversight. Pension funds are often subject to strict investment guidelines and regulations that limit their exposure to risky assets, including cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

Therefore, invest within your means and do not let it affect your quality of life.

Analysing the trend of the crypto market can be very complicated, base on the fact that their are two major deciding factor in price analysis when trading, which are the technical indicators an news about a project.
  I have not been in the crypto space for not too long but I have come to the conclusion that the news is more influential in the trend of the market than the technical indicators, guys what do you think?

This is mostly because the cryptocurency market is filled with lots of emotional traders, they buy or sell a project because of how their emotions tell them to. This is very common because we have lots of inexperienced trader's and investors in the market. Basically anybody can pick up their phone, register on an exchange and start calling themselves traders or investors

Only the professional traders make use of technical analysis, majority of the other traders don't even analyze the market before the buy a project. The cryptocurrency market is very unprofessional and that's why we have lots of failed traders and only a very few percentage of traders get success.
I agree with your observations about the cryptocurrency market. It's true that the market can be highly emotional, and many inexperienced traders and investors can fall prey to FOMO (fear of missing out) or panic selling during periods of high volatility.

Professional traders typically use technical analysis and other analytical tools to make informed trading decisions. They have a good understanding of market trends and price movements, and they use this knowledge to develop trading strategies that can minimize risk and maximize profit.

However, as you pointed out, the cryptocurrency market is highly unprofessional, and this can make it difficult for new traders and investors to succeed. It's important to do thorough research and analysis before investing in any cryptocurrency, as well as to develop a clear trading plan and risk management strategy.
23  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Taking loan for investment can be life threatening on: April 30, 2023, 07:41:56 PM
It was an uncle of mine who took a loan on his name and sent it to a childhood friend living in America, he knew I was a crypto enthusiast and he never asked me to help him. I asked him why he took the loan for this, and he replied that the person is reliable, and his friend is a crypto trader, but he doesn't even know how crypto works.

I find out that his friend is focusing on meme coins only, he invested in crypto projects on pink sale, and the names are the type that you will laugh at when you hear them, I later told my uncle to keep praying that things go his way, he still believes that his friend is better than me and I am not trying to prove that I am better.

I hope things go well like they hope, but this is a very big concern for me, because if anything happens, he will be left alone to pay back the loan, this can be life threatening because he is old and the loan amount is a lot, or do you have any better idea about this? What would you have done if you are in my shoes?
I completely understand your concern about the situation with your uncle and his friend. It's always risky to invest in any asset, including cryptocurrencies, and it's especially concerning that your uncle took out a loan to invest in a market he doesn't understand.

If I were in your shoes, I would try to advise your uncle on the risk of investing in cryptocurrencies, especially meme coins and other projects that do not have a solid track record or strong fundamentals. I would recommend that he seek unbiased advice from a financial planner or advisor before investing any more money.

Staking when price fall you just buy more and put in to staking once price goes up you don't need to sell it you continue to staking so after u earn more.
The new feature on exchangers the EARN could be one of the best ways to earn income some of them Even no lock up or little as 14 days.
No liquitation risk and you sleep well newbie friendly method..instead of trading off course If you know what you doing trading good Also but staking Are great one.
Staking offers a great way to earn passive income in the cryptocurrency market. Staking allows users to participate in the network's consensus mechanism and earn rewards for validating transactions. Even in times of market volatility or price decline, stakers can continue earning rewards by adding more coins to their staking pool.

Additionally, the new EARN feature on exchanges provides an even easier way for users to earn income through staking without the need to set up a separate staking wallet or deal with network requirements. This makes staking more accessible to newcomers and helps diversify investment portfolios.

Staking also offers advantages over other methods of passive income, such as mining, which requires expensive equipment and consumes significant energy costs. Unlike mining, staking requires minimal equipment and energy consumption, making it a more environmentally friendly option.

*Are there other investment strategies you know or have explored to the best benefit?

Let's discuss!

In addition to "stacking Sats" and "HODLing," there are other investment strategies people can explore, such as:

Swing Trading: This strategy involves buying and holding assets for a few days or weeks to take advantage of short-term price movements. It requires close monitoring of market trends and quick decision-making to maximize profits.

Day Trading: This strategy involves buying and selling assets within a single day to take advantage of intraday price movements. It requires significant knowledge of the market, quick reactions, and a tolerance for high levels of risk.

Value Investing: This strategy involves identifying undervalued assets and making long-term investments based on this assessment. It requires in-depth research and a long-term perspective, but can lead to significant returns over time.
26  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is Technical analysis a must know in crypto trading? on: April 30, 2023, 06:05:29 PM
Hello everyone am new here, more like a trader that got by with a bit of knowledge through personal experience (success and failure's) since 2020 but got introduced to this forum by a friend,pointing out that I can find information's and be able to communicate with other enthusiast in the crypto market. I look forward to my experience here.
P.S I have really poor knowledge on bitcoin technicalities, am more of the chart reading and gut feeling type. so I hope am not breaking any of the rules posting here.
Was really curious to understand if technical analysis is vital or just a means to reduce risk. Thanks in advance
Technical analysis is an important tool for traders as it helps identify trends in the market and potential entry and exit points for trades. While not everyone uses technical analysis as their primary means of making trading decisions, it can provide valuable insights and help reduce risks by providing a clearer picture of market movements.

However, it's important to remember that technical analysis is not foolproof and can only provide a guide for trading decisions. Other factors such as fundamental analysis and news events can also influence the market and affect your trades.
27  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Know it that market is speculative on: April 30, 2023, 05:48:21 PM
For newbies in trading, you need to understand that the crypto market is a speculative and not stagnant. It moves up and down known as bull and bear respectively. Incase you don't know, now, how trade happens is when one buyer is speculating up another can speculate down and the exchange happens on the trading platform. For example when the price of btc is $28,000, someone is speculating it further to buy to $29,500 and another can speculate it to sell to $26,000. So depending on your chart and analysis, that determines your winning strength if you speculate rightly. Trading is speculative based on your technical analysis, indicators and fundamentals (news).

What do you think?
I think that this is an accurate description of the crypto market and trading in general. It's important for newcomers to understand the speculative nature of the market and the potential for both gains and losses.

Technical analysis, indicators, and keeping up with news and market trends are all important factors that can help traders make informed decisions. Successful traders have a deep understanding of these factors and use them to develop well-informed strategies.

However, it's crucial to remember that trading always comes with inherent risks. No matter how sophisticated your trading strategy is, there is always the possibility of sustained losses. It's essential to manage risk wisely and have a well-thought-out plan in place for managing losses.
28  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Market Maker Action Analyzer on: April 30, 2023, 04:57:09 PM
Hi all. Many will not believe it, but I was able to unravel the MM algorithms on the binance exchange in ETH-USDT trading and based on this I created an MM action analyzer that helps to ideally find the entry point for short and long. The algorithm was tested at a distance of 6 months, if you do not violate the rules of trading and remove emotions, then you can take from 2-3 x per month on 10 leverage.

My goal is to create a precedent in the crypto world and show how MM makes money by manipulating the market in the right direction long before the news background.

Try it, share your thoughts, and trade with MM who never trades in the lost, which means that by following his actions we earn with him.

https://t.me/+ZW5chvSV4cs3ZmU9
A profit that is 2 to 3 times larger than usual is very enticing. If you are able to develop a trading system like this, you should focus on developing it and earning profits.

You can either sell it or create private groups instead of sharing it for free on forums.

Usually, free sharing does not attract many people.

I'm not looking for profit here, I'm doing well, I just want to show people and create a precedent for how a market maker works. It is very difficult for me to show the whole picture and communicate a lot with an English-speaking audience, so I can only give part of the information in an English-speaking group. Basic information and more deals and profit in my main Russian-speaking group. Sorry if I'm doing something wrong, but I just sincerely want to share this with everyone and show that the market maker knows in advance before the release of news and makes the right trade
Market makers (MMs) are the ones who create market liquidity, and they are the ones who are sure to know about news first.

You may think that the trading volume on exchanges is real. Yes, it is, but 70% of the trading volume comes from market makers.

If you have a good tool, then focus on developing it.

Are there any promotions for spot trading without fees currently?

I think sometimes there are promotions that offer spot trading without commissions for the btc usdt pair or eth usdt pair
Most cryptocurrency exchanges charge transaction fees for both the spot and futures markets. However, there are some exceptions such as Binance, which offers a 0% trading fee for the BTC/TUSD trading pair.

Additionally, exchanges like Bybit, Kucoin, OKX, Mexc, and Bingx ... offer programs that give out tokens or coins that can be used to pay for trading fees.
31  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading not a get rich quick on: April 30, 2023, 03:57:47 PM
This is another sadden story again about someone that just supposed not to trade crypto and meme stocks. Trading and investment is not a get rich quick. Meme stocks trading is like gambling. Coins like bitcoin may be promising, but what if you invested at $50000, bitcoin price now at $30000. Bitcoin will get to all-time-high but not good to use the money that is not yours.

As for trading, not that it is not a get rich quick, but you should use the money that you can afford to lose. The man may wanted to return that money, but crypto and meme stock trading  landed him in prison.

The former chief financial officer of a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) was sentenced to three years in prison after embezzling $5 million, which he used to trade cryptocurrencies and “meme stocks.“

Read further about it: Ex-CFO who stole $5M to trade crypto and ‘meme stocks’ gets 3 years in prison
With $50,000, you can invest in the top 10 coins listed on CoinMarketCap. While there may be losses initially, I believe that investing in these coins now can lead to profits in 3 to 5 years.

Investing in MEME coin may also be a quick way to generate profits if you have extensive knowledge and expertise. However, high returns always come with high risks.
32  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I don't know if am right or wrong about this. on: April 29, 2023, 06:10:10 PM
Trading of bitcoin has been one of my source of income for quite some time now but find it difficult to tell some other persons to engage in trading because of the risk involved.

Last week a friend of mine saw me trading so he tried to know more about it, at first I never wanted to tell him due to the risk involved, but then based of his persistence I first of all explained to him the difference between spot trade and futures, but I told him I do only spot, how  I buy low and sell high, even as I was explaining it to him I was feeling uncomfortable because of the risk.

 I don't want a situation whereby someone will say that I scammed him if there is a sudden dip in the crypto industry, so I just told him to open a binance account and verify it, after then, he should get back to me so I can send him the hard copy of the crypto course I bought.
Uptil now I still feel uncomfortable about it, I don't know if am wrong or right for opening up, even though I told him of the risk involved.
It is essential to educate others who are interested in trading so that they can make informed decisions. You were honest with your friend about the risks and even recommended a course and platform for him to learn more and get started.

It's important to note that you cannot control the fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market, and there is always risk involved in trading. However, by being transparent about the potential risks, you have done your part in ensuring that your friend understands the risks and can make decisions based on that knowledge.

Ultimately, it is up to your friend to decide whether or not to engage in trading Bitcoin. As long as you have been honest and transparent throughout the process, you have done your part in educating your friend, and he can make a decision based on the information provided.
33  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is there any point to start trading with 20$? on: April 29, 2023, 05:45:01 PM
Hello everyone,

I’ve lately been trying alot of different ways to start making money but something in me tells me trading could be really fun and exciting to get into. Unfortunately I can’t afford to invest much right now so I’ve managed to invest around 20$ to get started. I’d really appreciate if you all could let me know if what i am doing is worth it or am I just wasting time?

Kind regards,
Human
The starting amount is crucial, as $20 or $100 is much more significant than $1.

I remember taking three months to earn my first $1 from Paid to Click.

With $20, you can start day trading.

Hi All,

I'm brand new here, I just wondered if many people trade Crypto in the 1 Minute time zone? what is the preferred time zone, for most traders?

Thank you

CookyTrades
If you are a day trader, then it is possible to choose to trade with a 1-minute time frame. However, this requires making quick decisions because the 1-minute time frame is very fast and very risky.

For me personally, I use a 4-hour trading time frame.
35  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The America and the Crypto - Getting on wrong foot on: April 28, 2023, 07:05:14 PM
I don't think anyone would deny the fact that the title mentions it here. Read an article that depicts the thoughts of Bitcoin bull Chamath Palihapitiya from the U.S.

The guy has outplayed in the bitcoin investments during his career and has time to time believed that bitcoin is worth $100K or followed by a $200K benchmark in the future. However, with ever-increasing regulatory constructions over crypto and that too in the most promising country like America, things are going south now.

Crypto is dead in America. That's what Mr. Chamath said in a podcast interview. All the blame is be put on both sides which are Security Exchange Commission as well as Crypto Exchanges/banks which are being operated with malpractices all the time.

However, various exchangers stated clearly that if the crypto regulations are not plotted properly then how could they understand what is to be expected from their accounts? This is also true on one note while SEC and FED are just shooting in the air without any professional outline of the crypto laws.

They are being very spurious about the crypto laws and that is one of the reasons Silicone Valley Bank failed. That is the reason why exchangers like Bittrex and Coinbase are already on the verge of shifting their offices to other viable countries.

Has the American government taken any sort of oath to put down Bitcoin?

My thought is, US legislation is brutally scared about bitcoin. They definitely thinking it could misplaced the American Dollar position from the market and give rise to another era of economics. They might be thinking they are losing the dollar value and it's world domination slowly. THese could be real aggreavitng factors. I am not sure what is the truth but such aggression was not expected from the top developed country like America.


Quote
KEY POINTS
Tech investor Chamath Palihapitiya, who previously claimed bitcoin has replaced gold and would eventually get to $200,000, now says “crypto is dead in America.”
“The United States authorities have firmly pointed their guns at crypto,” Palihapitiya said on the latest episode of the All-In podcast.
The SEC has ramped up its enforcement of the crypto industry, bearing down on companies and projects that were allegedly selling unregistered securities.


Tech investor Chamath Palihapitiya, who said two years ago that bitcoin has replaced gold and predicted the digital currency would climb to $200,000, has a much more cautious view on cryptocurrencies these days.

“Crypto is dead in America,” Palihapitiya said in the latest episode of the All-In podcast.

Palihapitiya blamed crypto’s demise largely on regulators, who have gotten much more aggressive in their pursuit of bad actors in the industry. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler has said crypto trading platforms should abide by strict U.S. securities laws.

In answering questions in front of lawmakers recently, Gensler connected the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank with the crypto industry.

“You had Gensler even blaming the banking crisis on crypto,” Palihapitiya said. “The United States authorities have firmly pointed their guns at crypto.”

The SEC has ramped up its enforcement of the crypto industry, bearing down on companies and projects that the regulator alleges were selling unregistered securities.

In February, the agency proposed rules that would change which crypto firms can custody customer assets. In March, the SEC issued crypto exchange Coinbase a Wells notice — typically one of the final steps before it files charges — warning the company that it identified potential violations of U.S. securities law. Last week, the SEC charged the crypto asset trading platform Bittrex and its ex-CEO with operating an unregistered exchange.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong told CNBC that his company is preparing for a yearslong court battle with the commission, and is also considering relocating outside the U.S. if it doesn’t get improved regulatory clarity. Meanwhile, Bittrex has already announced it would wind down U.S. operations specifically due to “continued regulatory uncertainty.”

They “were probably the ones that were the most threatening to the establishment,” said Palihapitiya, referring to crypto companies. “And they were the ones that, in fairness to the regulators, did push the boundaries more than any other sector of the startup economy.”

“Now they’re paying the price for that,” he said. “The bill has come due for them.”

Gensler faced similar criticism from House Republicans over the agency’s crackdown on cryptocurrency platforms during four hours of congressional testimony last week.

“Regulation by enforcement is not sufficient nor sustainable,” said House Financial Services Committee Chairman Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C. “You’re punishing digital asset firms for allegedly not adhering to the law when they don’t know it will apply to them.”

McHenry said the SEC’s approach was “driving innovation overseas and endangering American competitiveness.”

Gensler defended the agency’s actions.

“We have a clear regulatory framework built up over 90 years,” he said, adding that the exchanges “are “noncompliant generally, and they need to come into compliance.”

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency, reached a record of about $69,000 in November 2021, when the Federal Reserve’s benchmark interest rate was near zero and investors were flooding into risk. The market changed in a hurry last year, as the Fed began steadily raising rates to fight inflation.

In early 2021, Palihapitiya predicted on CNBC that bitcoin would rise from $39,000 at the time to $100,000 and then up to $200,000.

“In what period, I don’t know,” he said. “Five years, 10 years, but it’s going there. And the reason is because every time you see all of this stuff happening, it just reminds you that, wow, our leaders are not as trustworthy and reliable as they used to be.”

Later in 2021, just before the peak, he said bitcoin had “effectively replaced gold.”

Bitcoin is currently trading at just over $27,300, down 60% from its all-time high.

‘Crypto is dead in America,’ says longtime bitcoin bull Chamath Palihapitiya
The speculation that the American government is scared about Bitcoin and is taking aggressive actions against it is concerning. It is essential for the government to work with the industry and create a clear and consistent framework for cryptocurrencies. Without proper regulations, businesses are at risk, and the industry may not achieve its full potential. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop, but there is an urgent need for clearer guidelines and regulations to ensure the positive growth and sustainability of cryptocurrency in America.
36  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: US Congress Meeting On Bitcoin Adoption on: April 27, 2023, 06:25:34 PM
The involvement of individuals like Senator Indira and Samson Mow in the conversation also highlights the potential for Bitcoin to be adopted beyond just the United States and Mexico. It's exciting to think about the possibility of more countries joining El Salvador and the Central African Republic in adopting Bitcoin as a legal currency.

However, it's important that these discussions also take into consideration the potential risks and challenges associated with Bitcoin adoption, including issues related to regulation, security, and volatility. By working together to address these challenges, we can create a more stable and secure environment for Bitcoin adoption to thrive.

Dev Update

We restarted the Pre-Release of Hosted Elemental Chat yesterday and it is going well so far. We have over 50 new people in the chat app! We're continuing to add more people every day to this test. Our goal is to have 200+ users within the next week.

We want to restate the importance of the Hosted Elemental Chat as a milestone for Holo. This release is testing the end to end hosting infrastructure

This is the first larger test with real people of a peer-to-peer Holochain application being hosted by the peer-to-peer Holo hosting network.

Each user when they create their credentials are creating the cryptographic keys for their instance of the application. Holo cannot write chats on their behalf... ever. Holo cannot remove an entry for a user... ever.

The only thing Holo can do - as the infrastructure provider that bridges the connection to the centralised Internet - is prevent an application from being hosted on the platform.

Applications of course have their own sets of rules and the creators and developers of those applications will design those.

Congrats to the Holo dev team and our tireless delivery team for getting this out to our Pre-Release community. And huge thanks to everyone in the Pre-Release community who is either volunteering your port for hosting or joining in the chat environment and giving feedback!
