21  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How can I get into trading on: May 16, 2024, 12:38:17 PM
Starting one way or another is the most important part. Some say get a mentor, some say learn from youtube, some say learn from reading books, some say learn from doing it, there will be a lot of ways that people will suggest, and most of them are free so just do all of them if you can but the most important thing is to be 100% in it mentally.

I myself initially always relied on the opinions of others other than myself, but for now it is no longer and time to be independent and when we are too dependent on people's opinions, we often think badly later if at any time the suggested advice is executed but fails miserably.

For now. I try to be independent and learn from previous experiences and even if it is wrong and lost, it will be an additional reference and self-study where it must be addressed as soon as possible.

You want to be independent without depending on other people if you won't always be at that point.

We never improve if we keep on relying on others and success seems to be impossible. Standing on our feet should be in our mind but this is not possible if we never trust ourselves and of course, if we don't have the right knowledge about trading. Mentorship is designed to help newbies and it is not wrong in the sense that we really need help from someone who have the capability to teach and shorten our learning process. As we can make decisions alone and already build some confidence, this simply means that we are ready enough to take responsibility for our trading future and are willing to accept whatever happens.

Cleveland was trash, the Celtics should've swept this team but glad Celtics now get time to rest and now it's on to the next road.

I wouldn't say trash but it's just unfortunate that their best player good injured and so when Mitchell went down, it's obvious that they will not go and win the series and as you have said, the Celtics should have swept them. And as expected, the Boston Celtics is already in the Eastern conference finals again, and waiting for their opponents, either the Knicks or Pacers.
I guess even if Mitchell played the result is still the same, but who knows the series will be extended. Cavaliers playing undermanned or missing their best player knows already that the end is near for them, and just what most of us predicted, it ended in the home court of the Celtics.

As to their opponent, it's not certain yet because if the Pacers will take this to game 7, I'd say it's 50-50 even if the pacers are playing on the road.

On the West side, Mavs looking good and as we have seen Jokic and Doncic elevated their games in game 5 to push their team to a commanding 3-2 lead.

Mavs steal another win on the road, it's time to close the game in 6. Actually, Mavs could have ended the series already if they were more careful in game 4.

Well, I hope that people understand that there is no perfect time to buy but there is the right time to do it and for me, that is when the price to cheap.
If we just imagine to person buying Bitcoin at $60k versus buying at $55k, it is obvious to see who will earn more if they sell together at the same price. That is why I say that every dip is another buying opportunity and every pump is always a selling opportunity. But if you are a long-term holder, it doesn't matter at least we buy Bitcoin during the bear season, not like this time. Because even though we believe that Bitcoin price will continue to increase but we don't have such assurance, it is better to act cleverly and cautiously.
24  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If all your wages were paid in USDT, would you accept it? on: May 15, 2024, 11:16:05 AM
I would love that to happen, but if it does that only means that most people already accepts crypto as a payment method.
I also think that it would help me save and invest more, I could avoid the transaction fee when converting my Fiat into crypto, it would also help me spend less, I have a tendency to overspend when I have cash, I would spend more than what I needed (e.g when buying groceries or going out).

It was not because of fiat, you will spend more, and crypto you will spend less. No, it was your spending habit that was wrong.
The main reason why the majority choose fiat money instead of receiving salary in terms of BTC is due to the community is not yet ready to accept BTC payment. Of course, it makes no sense to have it if you can't spend it directly when you go around and buy stuff. If you are not a techy person, that will be a sacrifice on yourself since you need to convert it into fiat money and the chance is paying for extra fees. In the end, the use of fiat money is still comfortable and we need not worry about how to keep safe our funds.

But still, I encourage people to slowly adapt this technology because sooner or later, this will play a big role in the community and might give us no other option.
25  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Going all in and losing the bet on: May 15, 2024, 07:52:59 AM
This is one of the reasons I don't like playing certain games on online casinos.  I mean there are online casinos that I certainly trust more than others, but over all making sure they are "provably fair" seems a little difficult to verify with certain casinos.  I myself like playing games against other IRL people (not an automated bot of whatever) or just doing sports betting, which of course is provably fair.
Obviously if the game is playing with humans again or sports betting is fairer because there is no bot system in it that accompanies our game, justice in a game like that is very biased and we will not be able to guess whether it is fair or not, most people think that when they lose and feel something is wrong like consecutive games in a game based on the bot system, they will think that the casino is behaving unfairly, but who knows about it.

But if they win, will they assume that there is a wrong system in our game.

But mind you, there's still a huge number of people losing in sports betting, in fact even bigger than what we can lose in a casino because we think the game is fair that's why we tend to do it regularly. I myself believe that it's possible to succeed in sports betting, but until now it's still that believe that I have in me as I have not succeeded in sports betting yet. Anyway, if i would choose on my favorite type of gambling, I'll always choose sports betting.

The Denver Nuggets held on for the victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Nuggets were eating them up on both ends of the floor. Their defense was all over Anthony Edwards all night long doubling him on the perimeter and not letting him get up shots. On the other end they were making Gobert look like he couldn’t guard anyone, embarrassing the defensive player of the year.

Looks like Gobert was just exposed as he cannot guard Jokic. The fact that Gobert as a DPOY, Towns, and Reid who take turns in guarding Jokic, but still they cant stop him, just put an exclamation mark on the MVP debate and doubts against Jokic this year.
I was seriously thinking the Nuggets are the next dynasty. This Minnesota team got exposed as the Nuggets are about to make their 4th consecutive win against them.
I haven't watch the post game interview, but I'm not sure what Antman has to say about his trash performance and now they are on the verge of elimination. I think this Nuggets win will somehow humble him down, probably.

That was very obvious, Jokic might be laughing at him as Gobert cannot stop him when challenging him one on one. Now, we saw that they cannot double Jokic anymore as Gordon is just waiting to be open and he can easily take his shot near the rim. I think the Wolves needs to move the ball very well, sometimes ANT man is holding the ball too much and just drive to the paint which is very predictable. What's lacking here also is the 3 point shooting of wolves, as they seem to loss their confidence already.
27  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Israil Madrimov vs Terrence Crawford on: May 14, 2024, 12:57:59 PM
Crawford has much more experience, better score, more to lose. Madrimov is still a newcomer when it comes to pro fights.
IMO Crawford is going to be very well prepared and harder to counter since he's a southpaw and you don't get a lot of good sparing opponents who excel in this stance, so Madrimov is going to have much less experience in fighting southpaws than Crawford vs orthodox fighters.

Whatever Madrimov does in the ring Crawford is ready for that, you're not an elite if you do not have multiple plans or the ability to shift in the fight, after the Spence fight I consider Crawford a flawless fighter, can you imagine a fighter who was considered his co-equal getting knockdown by his jab.

Madrimov is not better than Spence so we can conclude that it will be a much easier fight for Crawford, Crawford needs to fight level-A fighters now after the Spence fight fighting other unknown names is not attractive anymore, so I expect him to fight any of the Charlo or Canelo, so let's see.

Yes, if we have look at the previous fights of Madrimov, he is more of a powerful puncher and I think Crawford had deal a lot of this type of boxers in his career and he was able to adjust in the middle of the fight to even win by knockout himself.

I read some interview of him that when he was caught by Spence with that right hand, and he said in the line like "is that it", meaning he was able to take the best punch of Spence and he was not affected or even get wobbled by it. What I'm trying to say is that I think Crawford can take the best punch of his opponent and he can also dish one as well to stop or knock them down.

Spence is a more powerful puncher than Madrimov based on his record, so if he could absorb the punches of Spence, then I guess Madrimov has no chance of knocking out Crawford here. Honestly, I was surprise that Crawford would fight this guy, I mean after beating Spence, the hype is high for him, so he shoudl be pursuing for a bigger fight so he'll continue to soar. No offense to the fans, but this one looks like a tune up fight IMO.
28  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does trading belongs to everyone? on: May 14, 2024, 12:04:02 PM
... if you want to start trading you must first develop yourself as a skilled trader. To be a skilled trader you need to have a thorough understanding of the trade. Trading is a risky business here the amount of loss will be more than profit if you are experienced in trading and can analyze the market properly then you will be successful only. So expecting profit from trading without experience is nothing but foolishness.
Likely, it takes time to know if trading is meant for us or not. That is why we can't just say we become a trader, a successful trader if we don't try. But not just trying, we also have to spend money and possibly lose it.

Therefore, those who will tend to try must not think of an easy game as it is indeed a big struggle for beginners and those who to stand still become successful. But as we notice, a lot of people have tried and only a few got left and continue their journey. This is because not all of those people who tried are willing to wait and are risk-takers.
29  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where are you hyper focus, online casinos or physical casinos on: May 13, 2024, 04:04:13 PM
When you are in the physical casino and being treated like a VIP you'll likely not gonna stop until you are satisfied or you loss all your money. Imagine, you are getting free drinks, that would lead you to be more aggressive in gambling and you can either win something or loss everything, but most of the time the latter. While when you are gambling online, based on my experience, I could quite anytime I like and not really fun with bonuses as I understand myself it's not design for us to win.

Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ?  What was the final result, did they thank you later for this ?
I could tell people but I'm not obliged to influence them and take responsibility for their investment. I say this because I try to get in touch with someone and my experience is too bad as he came back and blamed me for losing their money after buying Bitcoin. I really don't know the story of why he lost as I don't talk to him back as he never listens to my explanations anymore.

Whether you believe me or not OP, please don't try to talk to people and encourage them to invest in Bitcoin as they will turn you back and blame you. You'd rather spend your time on yourselves rather than bringing someone to the crypto space, especially when we feel they are not interested in this.
31  Economy / Economics / Re: Money is all wealth? on: May 12, 2024, 11:53:42 AM
Now it seems to me that money is all there is to survive in the world.
I agree, because that is also the sentiment of the people around me and we have realized that we need to value our money and spend it wisely as nobody gives us free food now.
Quote
There is a sayingay and at the end of the day it seems to me that studying where there is financial insecurity is also unusual or not worth it.  Because when you see that your father in your family has taken the responsibility of your entire family on his shoulders and it has become much more difficult for him to carry the responsibility of the family, then you will no longer want to do anything other than earning money, then only the sense of responsibility will work in your head. I don't know how accurate my words are but to me it seems right now in this situation.
That is why we should not rely solely on one person to work and find money but together as much as possible. Teaching our kids to save their allowance could help them as well in the sense that they know money is not easy to get.

Living a luxurious lifestyle is not a good idea if we are poor and average people, this is just for rich people to be frank. We don't need to pretend that we can afford that nor say we deserve it even knowing that we are not financially stable.
32  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell? on: May 12, 2024, 10:57:26 AM
People don’t still understand that Accumulating and Holding Bitcoin is the best approach and not Trading. This very point have been over emphasized over and over again. This shades is from panic, emotions, fear and careless about price movements and market fluctuations.
 
Bitcoin is a valuable asset not a Tradable coin to make profit off.

More persons are going to regret, accumulate as much as you can according to your plan. Have a system that pushes and propels you to your set Target in your accumulation journey.

There are indeed many people who still don't understand how to hold Bitcoin, but we shouldn't say that for everyone because at this time there are certainly quite a lot of people who understand how to hold Bitcoin and that is much more feasible than trading it on the market. People who consider Bitcoin as an important asset that must be held for the long term will always make considerations when they want to sell Bitcoin and these people will even prefer to sell something else if there is still an option to keep Bitcoin in their wallet.

Because it is based on their own beliefs and thoughts about Bitcoin, so currently there are still some people who don't understand this. And I think those who still don't understand how to hold Bitcoin for the long term, they are people who only focus on small profits and don't think about how they will regret it when they see Bitcoin at a higher price after selling it.
Gradually, people increase their knowledge about Bitcoin. We committed mistakes before by not buying Bitcoin at a very cheap price, but now, it has changed and we took the chance of buying in every correction we saw. It is accepting the fact that Bitcoin has changed someone's life making other people see its potential revenue. And see what happens to those who ignored Bitcoin before, they are now in regret.

Indeed, learning about Bitcoin has changed people, and think that investing in this stuff would give them a fortune. May the ROI is not instant but we are positive about it. Just to imagine that holding for at least 3 years will possibly triple our money, that is a lot.
33  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: May 10, 2024, 01:11:15 PM
Let's discuss about the Cavaliers too. How good they are with Mitchell? They steal game 2 on the road and now the series is even. I don't know, but this looks like a good series and Celtics are quite overrated. Mitchell is unstoppable as they win even without their starting forward. When Allen will return, their lineup will be more deadly, so to make sure that the Celtics can still gain advantage in the series, they need to win game 3 because if not, the pressure will be too high for them to come back.

Just imagine if the Cavaliers will win game 3 and 4, then in game 5 the series will be 3-1, that's a do or die game for the Celtics, and they are not good at that high pressure game.

It turns out to be a good series now with the Cavs stealing game 2 from the Celtics and the crowd was quiet because of that big game the Cavs shows. And as much as they cheer their Celtics, they can't seem to get over the hump as the Cavs limited them with just 94 points. The Celtics though have been in this kind of situation before with the Heat when we thought that they are going to sweep them as well. So we will see what the Celtics is made of in game 3 in the road against the Cavs, I'm still seeing them though still winning this series but it might be a little bit harder that the 4-1 series win against the Miami Heat.

I would expect a game 7 in this series  as Mitchell is just unstoppable, as long as he keeps producing, his teammates will be confident, he is their leader and he is just leading them how to win. Celtics really aren't a good defender, I mean they might not continue to double Mitchell, and with that I think the Cavaliers have a great chance of winning.

I think the Celtics aren't really good in 3 point shooting, just like the Miami heat in game 2, Miami shoot over 50%, here, Cavaliers shoot    46% but the Celtics are shooting very poorly with 23% only, something they really need to improve if they want to lead again.
34  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2023-2024 betting on: May 10, 2024, 11:57:34 AM

Donovan Mitchell managed to get 29 pts and 5-7 3 pointers from what I recall.
I too had the Celtics on my betslip so literally tuned out once they were down by double digits early in the 4th quarter.
Now only have the Pacers and Timberwolves to look forward too for tonight before the weekend comes.

I guess after game 1 most of us think that the Celtics will manage to beat the Cavaliers and probably sweep them, but it was a different story came in game 2 as the Cavaliers have dominated the home team. This isn't the same team they face in the first round where their main player was out, we are talking of the cavaliers with a complete line up.

Game 3 odds is quite interesting for the Cavaliers, they are given +7.5 at home after winning, damn, I think I like to take that without a doubt.
35  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is there strategy to make profit daily future trade on: May 10, 2024, 10:12:27 AM
I have good knowledge with crypto future
I get signals from groups on telegram

But i got idea to make profit daily

I choose some coins potential raise and open long  positions on them and hold

For day until i get profit.. Is this good idea or let me know if there better idea
If you already have it all and then you are quite sure, why should you doubt again?
Oh yeah, actually, the future market is very risky, right? Indeed, the results sometimes double and make us feel very happy with these profits. but otherwise we could also experience a very sad liquidation. So, will betting with traditional signals really work? Maybe it's because you already have your own understanding of future trading so that these signals can be used to optimize your analysis.

The important thing is that you understand what you want to do, you do the analysis, and you are confident in the strategy you have been implementing so far. As long as it works, then continue, but if not, at least make modifications.


Knowledge gives us confidence but most of all, having a working strategy will lead us to success which I don't think OP has. And I'm sure that OP is not aware of how the signal groups scam people, and innocent individuals because if he/she just knows it, I'm certain he/she won't mention it. But as usual, many people got tricked by these groups of scammers, they promise daily profit and huge gains but it is far from the real thing. Knowing more about the market is very important as this will be our tool for reaching our goal. And the thing we can do is trust no other but just ourselves alone, not these signal groups.

How did you guys invest in bitcoin as beginners. What was your experience with the market volatility? A lot of people talk how investing in Bitcoin is good but risky, i don't want to rush to invest  bitcoin. I need to be very sure of what I'm planning to go into. I don't know if I am making the right decision or I'm too sluggish to invest. I'm not really convinced maybe because I don't know much. Do you think this delay is good for me? I believe it is good for one to be  sure and understand anything that involves money.
Perhaps, you did it right mate. And what you hear is true as Bitcoin investment is risky due to the volatility and unpredictable market direction. That is why before you make the final decision to buy, you must be sure that you are mentally aware of it and fully understand how it works. Understanding the market situation helps you stay strong despite unexpected dumps and remain trusting. There are a lot of BTC left so therefore we don't need to rush and think we are too late as we still have a lot to buy with.

Knowledge, interest, and faith are things we need in order to succeed.

What can I say? 0.05 BTC is a reasonable amount of money, and you went ahead and bet half of that in your first bet. It seems that this challenge hasn't started out the best. Although it'd be best to judge when and if the OP ends up losing all his bankroll, until then, everything is possible. Your expectations are too high, and you're already halfway through losing your money. I'd probably be a little more careful if I were you. I personally wouldn't go ahead and bet such amounts, nor would I expect gambling to be my investment, but that's your call.

Nonetheless, I wish you good luck.

The next bet is crucial as losing another bet would wipe out the entire bankroll.

@Op, if you want a tip, I think it's fine but only if you are helping us here win, but based on your bet, it seems like you don't have a good start which doesn't impress us here. I hope you'll win your next bet so you can start with your goal to turn this amount to 1.7 btc.

He needs to see that, as Brunson will keep attacking them and without a good role player to play tight defense for sure Brunson will always take that shots,

Brunson is not the only player doing very well for Knicks. It’s always a team effort that makes them win as you can see on the stats board. Knicks will never beat Pacers twice in a row if they will show same performance in the first round which Brunson do most of the scoring.
That's what I also saw, Brunson although he is the main man of the team but he trust his teammates, that's why they are successful. The pacers are good as well they are trusting each other but they lack the hunger the Knicks has because if we review the highlights, you can see how the knicks played hard, they dive just to get the ball, so they really deserve that big win.


Quote
it's more on the adjustment side as they see how tough the NYK, they need to play together not just for the offense but more on their defense, playing at home might give them good inspiration to win a game, or better to tie it up and make it a raise to 3 games do-or-die series finals. Let see how Rick Carlisle will adjust to avoid a possible sweep.

Knicks are doing this already. All of them is taking the and not only Brunson. I believe Brunson only step up when they are facing an opponent that focus on isolation which is not the case with Pacers since Haliburton is a great playmaker. Let’s see if they can keep up when the home court changed.

I'm seeing the series to be an interesting one, with that, I expect that the Pacers will be able to even the series by winning the two games on their homecourt. I think the Pacers are really good at home, as just like their series with the Bucks, they win all the home games, so I expect that it will happen with the Knicks.
39  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2023-2024 betting on: May 09, 2024, 07:40:30 AM
I got my bet live after the firs half, I had -7 Pacers, damn, wrong move.

Maybe you thought that Brunson is not coming back, I would say it was the right bet, you got confidence betting on the road team with that -7 spread. Unfortunately, Knicks is not a kind of team that easily give up, you see they loss OG and yet they still know how to win games. As per stats, Knicks are good in winning games when the game is close, and that's what happen in that game after the Knicks run. IMO, if the Pacers want to win in game 3, they should dominate the Knicks and don't allow them to come back.

To become successful investors you need to have huge funds and able to hold Bitcoin for long term, while trading need to have a good skill about it, not everyone can mastering trading.

Not everyone has the ability to invest huge funds into crypto but this does not mean that they should end their journey here. I think one of the most important skills in life is being able to make the most out of nothing. Making more money when you started with not much is something impressive and I believe a characteristic a lot of us investors has to have.

When you have this characteristic, I believe that you can learn trading swiftly as possible.
Well, I see money is a reasonable reason to become successful in investing as it indeed needs money, and having a huge amount is somewhat advantageous compared to small capital. But this is not the main reason, it is also our knowledge acquired and investment strategies.

Where both trading and investing need money, it is very important to feel which one we are at best and we are certain that we can do it well. Many people try trading and still fail, it is the same as investing. That is why knowing our interests is important in order to decide what option we take first.
