There is something I understand about trading, that the beginners should not just ruch into trading because they see something on socials, the beginner's should understand how it works first before they start trading, that's why we have the demo account, try it with demo account first with that you will understand how it is, then you can stick any amount of money you want, thank you.
Yeah, most beginners make the mistake of rushing into the market and starting trading without any knowledge or understanding of what they are getting into and what can be the consequences of their actions. They don't understand that knowledge is the first step they need to take before they get their hands into actual trading because you can't achieve success if you don't know something you are getting into.

Demo accounts are useful, especially for those who have already done a lot of research and learning but are still unsure of their skills and understanding of things such as candlesticks, indicators, etc. They can use demo accounts to practice trading before they start trading with real money, this will give them an idea whether they have learned everything and can start trading or they need more practice.

Everything went well for Chelsea yesterday, they were able to beat Brighton, and Newcastle lost to Manchester United at Old Trafford. And now Chelsea, after a disastrous season, loses to Tottenham by only 3 points, although it feels like Tottenham and Chelsea have taken radically different paths. Mudryk suffered a very nasty injury, he was replaced and diagnosed with a concussion, so this season is already over for him.
It's a bitter sweet ending for Chelsea this season, they appear to be the current winner after such a disaster in the earlier part of the season. I feel so happy for the club, especially their young squad who has began to show glimpses of hope. I remember when it was as if this Chelsea side were heading towards the relegation zone, it seems that the patience finally paid off. I just hope they can be able to win their final game of the season to secure the 6th position and have a chance to qualify for Europe if Manchester United can defeat Manchester City in the cup final at Wembley. I was impressed with how things went very smoothly for Chelsea yesterday as well.
After disastrous start of the season now things are turning into good, and we are having Chelsea back into business which is good sign as hard work by the all-stake holders are paying specially here Pochettino done good work even too much criticism about his few things, but his strategy is giving them good reward which is now allowing them to end their season into top six last round is going to be had more entertainment as Tottenham is going to visit Sheffield United and Chelsea is going to host Bournemouth if we have lost for the Tottenham and win for the Chelsea this could be more exciting for the players and fans as well which are looking for the top spots and now things are turning into positive for their performance to be had consistency and improvement in quality.
23  Economy / Speculation / Re: Post halving investing strategy. on: May 15, 2024, 06:15:22 PM
Since the halving is now over, the supply shock should cause the price to increase but traditionally it is a gradual increase.  I believe that historically, there is a steady increase after the halving for about a year but then a more parabolic increase for several months after that before the blow off top.

But of course this cycle could be different than previous cycles.
If you will simply say supply shock, it can also mean an increase in the supply, so it is better to just be more specific and say instead that the reduction of supply due to halving is the real ones that can cause a rise in the price but as the other one that you said, this rise is not instant even though there is a shock there that happened.

When we say gradual I think it does not always means to be consistent because BTC is also not a stable crypto but rather it is a volatile one. The only good thing is that it is not only limited on that time period you mentioned because the adoption does not stop but it only continues to expand from time to time.

Lyon won away to Clermont and increased their points to 50. Clermont's chances of staying in the league were already over in my opinion and this match becomes even more important for Lyon. With this win, Lyon is now level on points with Lens going into the last week on equal points. It will be interesting to see who will finish 6th in the league. With 2 teams guaranteed to stay in the league, it will be interesting to see who will lose points or finish 6th in the league.
Yeah there is a huge opportunity for Lyon to qualify for the Conference League now.  Smiley  The thing is that Lyon and Lens' opponents on the final week are both aimless. Both of these games are at home for Lyon - Lens too.

Considering this Lyon have a really difficult job to do. Goal difference advantage is on Lens now and there is no way Lyon are getting better at that (the gap is 15 goals). Lyon will just win and hope for Montpellier to do something against Lens. I hope to see Lyon making it to the Conference League honestly. Because there is a huge effort there. They have reached this point from the last position in the standings. This is a huge progress you know.
No doubt Lyon done historic comeback after having disastrous start of the season and staying into relegation zone for the first half of the season now things are right path for them with they are having chance for jumping into sixth spot even this is not easy because currently Lens is also having same points with goal difference is into their favour, but tonight we are having another game which is going to play between Reims vs Marseille with in case of win for the Marseille they can jump at the sixth spot and their last game is against Le Havre which is weak side so they can also win and having fair chance of ending at the sixth spot which could be good for them as they are having terrible season and drop too many points into important games and their journey into Europa League was also ended not good as they lost against Atlanta into semifinal.
25  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: April 2024 recorded the lowest amount lost to hack. on: May 15, 2024, 07:24:04 AM
It is becoming very good news for crypto as people will be able to maintain their security easily which will further increase the demand of crypto. People are becoming more aware about hackers with the advancement of technology. Most people are anticipating the market by doing well research which makes it less vulnerable to hackers and 2024 recorded the lowest rate of hacking. It will reach further improvements in the future.
Yes, they need to maintain the security practices they are making despite of this positive news because it's always better to be preventive than be confident and careless this time because hackers can also bounce back.

It's not only because of the advancement of technology that made people aware about the hackers but it's also because of the information that are now well spread because cryptos are now popular and it's possible because it's now accepted by the majority. By there, it is true that things ' might ' only improve. I say 'might' because like I said earlier, hackers can bounce back with another method but that is only short-living.

Pakistan team performed poorly in the first match but performed well in the second match. And Ireland beat the team by a wide margin, but today's match will see both teams perform equally well. As both the teams have won once in the previous two matches, so both the teams will try to give maximum performance to win this match today. Among them, Pakistan team players Rizwan and Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman can definitely win if they can perform well from the beginning. Because the bowling line and batting line of the Pakistan team are very strong.
Pakistan team which is on tour of the Ireland and England for their preparation for the next world cup having not good time specially after having 2–2 against New Zealand b team at home as they lost their first game of this tour as well and then fight back into second match thanks to Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman now in third and final game of this tour they won toss and invite Ireland for the bat first which is doing good job and 95 runs after 10 overs which is indicating now they can score another big target for the Pakistan team.

Bowling was lethal for the Pakistan which is now turned into weak point as they are conceding too many runs and also fail to create problems for the opponents they need to be fixed this before it's going to be worst for them in coming months because right now situation is not good, and their technique is also not good for this format.
27  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what things can do if i hodle for long time crypto on: May 14, 2024, 01:51:23 PM

what are methods you used to forget the market conditions and keep hodl?

In my story , i always log to twitter and see what is happing , see coinmarketcap always, see youtube videos related to crypto. so this makes me sometimes panic , fear. 

please update what things you do
Stop doing things that make you feel that way, and that's it Smiley.

When you fear something, you stay away from it as much as possible, so if you think staying aware of the market and staying up to date with news and stuff makes you panic or have fear, you should stay away from these things to see how it goes.

I wouldn't suggest anyone that by the way, because I believe one should stay updated at all times, and if you think you panic because of this, you need to increase your knowledge about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and understand how things work before you feel that way and exit the market.
28  Economy / Economics / Re: Take care of your money and learn to save. on: May 14, 2024, 08:55:03 AM
As a financial guy I tell all my clients that you should try and save at least 15-20% of your earned income towards retirement.  If you can save more, than certainly do so.  Run a monthly budget AT LEAST once a year, making sure you're saving as much as you potentially could be.  Then make sure to do everything you can to be saving money (cut coupons, sign up for rewards apps, and things of this nature..it can go a LONG way).
If only everyone could do that. The amount of money one can save depends on how much one earns minus how much one spends each month, and based on the economic conditions all over the world nowadays, one can barely be able to have a lot of money left by the end of the month even if they have made a budget and are spending money accordingly. Inflation keeps increasing over time and most governments seem to not care about it at all.

15-20% is a lot, I would say one would do great if they can manage to save at least 8-10% of their earnings each month for their future because if they have some years to go for them to retire, they can save a good amount by that time which will surely help them with the time after their retirement.

Do you guys believe Liverpool is seriously looking for a replacement for Salah after klopp will not in the club again? Is now the time to cash in on him? Antony Gordon has been heavily linked to Liverpool as a replacement for Salah and many news were also saying the same thing. Liverpool put gordon as its priority target since club needs also to think about regeneration to the its players. This appears to be a signal that Liverpool is looking to cash in on Salah for $100 million or more and im hoping salah to leave from there and go to the saudi pro league.

Salah may not be interested in playing for the club again after Klopp leaves Liverpool as soon as possible caused by klopp probably salah's main reason to keep stay on liverpool despite so many rumors that linked him to leave from the club. Is it the right decision to replace him while Salah is still at his peak performance? I think that any of you guys have different opinion regarding this.
There were expectations after exit of Jürgen Klopp Liverpool is going to have big overhauled as many players are ready to leave with foremost Mohammad Salah which is target of Al Ittihad of Saudi League is surely going to leave with he is already in talk about three years contract which is going to be luxurious for him and few more players are also settled for the leave, but currently things are not well prepare about this all because we are having just one or two games left in this season and then all will be appeared in media.

After Jürgen Klopp announcement we have some serious problems in Liverpool specially they down from top and now settle for the third spot now they are targeting Anthony Gordon with things are unstable because we are also having news Darwin Núñez is also leaving the club so we have to wait for the end of the season then all will be clear what is going to happen here.
30  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Going all in and losing the bet on: May 13, 2024, 01:46:58 PM
At times the best response to losing is to leave and let your head cool down a bit then try again it could be that you kept losing cause your mind has gotten clouded by emotions that you ard losing and I can even further make you lose more if you start trying to recover those loses which is the pitfall of gambling.
No matter how much we say that one should keep a cool head after losing in gambling, it is never possible to keep a cool head because if someone loses in a gambling game, his head will be under a lot of stress immediately after losing, due to which he will not be able to cool his head even if he wants to.
If you make small bets aiming for high multiplier, your head won't be under a lot of stress after losing. I mean, it's obvious, innit? If you lose $0.20, you keep hitting the spin button after that, feeling no stress at all. Make smaller bets, guys, that's what I'm always saying to my fellow gamblers. It's much more interesting(and safer) to make bets like 20 cents aiming for 1,000x+ multiplier than making a bet of $200 aiming for 1.1x. It's such a tragedy when you lose your $200 bet in that case, and it's really nothing when you lose several bets of 20 cents.
Exactly, and some people make the mistake of thinking that the odds are higher for them to win when they reduce the multiplier so it's a clear shot and they can get good returns if they bet with all their bankroll or 50% of it having 1.1x odds or even lower, but they forget that one can lose a bet even with those low multipliers.

I remember when there was a discussion on this board where a guy had lost $1.4m in a bet having 1.01x as the multiplier which gives the gambler more than a 98% chance of winning, but is there any guarantee? No, it's gambling, for god's sake, and you can't expect yourself to win all the time. Imagine aiming to get some profit with such a large amount with such a low multiplier and losing it, that ruins you.

As someone who’s new to this space and wants to start trading, what are the steps I can take to start and how much of fund do I need to start?.
What wallet is best for me? Can I use meta trader?
As someone new to this space, you should start learning about this space Smiley. Learn as much as possible before you take a step towards trading because it's knowledge that will help you succeed, and without it, you will fail and then blame the space for that. So I wouldn't suggest that you create a wallet, top it up with money, and then start trading right away because that wouldn't be the correct advice and I don't want to misguide you like that.

Start by learning about Bitcoin, do your research about it, check its history, check the chart, play with it a little by changing the candles and timeframes, once you have learned everything about it, move to learning about wallets, once done, move to the next topic. You will see doors opening one by one, get into trading only when you feel you are ready for it, when you wouldn't need to ask such basic questions in a public forum.
32  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will this stack make me a USD millionaire? on: May 12, 2024, 08:33:40 PM
Isn't this a gamble when you also expect bitcoin to reach $100k? Because there is no 100% certainty that bitcoin will reach 100k USD during this bull season. Regarding bitcoin making ATH before halving comes from the approval of ETFs, and let's not forget that ETH ETF is also being proposed and its approval is only a matter of time. And if you can be sure that bitcoin will touch $100k this bull season, I also bet you that ETH will give better returns than bitcoin in this bull season.

Eth is the leading altcoin, second only to bitcoin, and it has also proven to be the king of altcoins and queen of the market over the years. Therefore, investing in it is no worse than bitcoin and is no less safe than bitcoin. There are a lot of bitcoin maximalists on the forum and it's understandable that they hate ETH or shitcoin. But that doesn't mean their assessment is right when it comes to ETH and altcoins. Maximalist bitcoin investors are not representative of this market and if you participate in other social networks you will see that the ETH community is not inferior to the BTC community.
I don't see any reason for a person to hate ETH if they love Bitcoin, can't one like both of them simultaneously, knowing that one doesn't harm the other? ETH's growth has never been a problem for Bitcoin its growth is connected with Bitcoin's growth just like any other altcoin in the market because when Bitcoin goes up, altcoins, including ETH, go up as well, and vice versa. So, a Bitcoin lover should have no problems with ETH at all.

That being said, I don't think that ETH is going to perform better than Bitcoin because we can't expect ETH to have more trading volume than Bitcoin, and we know that the coin that is the most demanded one will perform the best, and no altcoin can beat Bitcoin in that despite their gradual growth or popularity.

Thinking about the future is the work of the wise, every conscious person is always eager to reach his ultimate goal.
The main topic here is investing in Bitcoin. Here you have to make a decision using conscience and sense, no person or organization has the power to interfere with your decision.
It's fine if you sell your property and invest in Bitcoin, but don't let that property be your only means of living.
Yes, if the individual needs special money, then 50 to 60% of bitcoin canbe invested and the rest of the money can be used as part of the future.
No matter what, it is never a good thing to sell an asset that isn't deflationary and tends to provide a good profit over time only to invest the money in something that tends to be extremely volatile which can make the money lose value over time as well. I know that Bitcoin is considered to be one of the most profitable investment assets of this era, but that doesn't mean one should sell their lands or properties and invest the money in Bitcoin.

When making investments in Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, one should only use the money that they know is spare and won't be needed any time soon because there is no guarantee that you are going to get profit or not and even if you do, you can't know how much time it is going to take for your investment to turn profitable.

I think Lewandowski will be more successful than Nunez next year. I don't think they even need to add Darwin Nunez to the team. Barcelona is a team struggling financially and I do not think they will want to pay very high prices for Nunez's transfer. The priority for them may be players who are in free agency.
There is no doubt about Robert Lewandowski success here at Barcelona but now as they are heading for the new season we are going to have few changes with Xavi Hernandez extension is also settled on this Barcelona will bring new players which will be able to helpful for them, and they also give them good results so now we are having this rumour around Darwin Núñez is having their target for the next season with they are also wanted to take good advantage of Liverpool internal problems which are creating mess-up and few players are looking for the possible move.

Here this is also important most chance Barcelona is looking for the players which are having not high price, or mostly they will go for the free players due to their financial problems which are preventing them from having top players which are having high prices in market.
35  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What you think about Casinos rewards? on: May 11, 2024, 08:59:22 PM
I'd say it depends on what kind of rewards are offered by the casinos. If it is limited to something like welcome bonus or deposit bonus where players need to deposit and it comes with so big wagering requirement, it is quite common rewards but less attractive. Nowadays most casinos prefer to offer VIP rewards and it can be found almost in all casinos.
I think that a welcome bonus is different from a deposit bonus. A deposit bonus says it all and that is, the person must deposit first in order for them to avail it but a welcome bonus rewards newly signed up players with a free credit or free spins. If the casino is generous, they won't require a wagering requirements for this and we can be able to withdraw no matter how big the money that we won. The reason why many casinos now offers VIP rewards is because they can earn better here, as we know that reaching a VIP status requires a huge wager and/or deposits.

Now the question for players is, which casino offer the best VIP rewards? The answer will be something subjective obviously because player may have different preference when it comes to VIP rewards.
For me, there are no casinos that are better when it comes to VIP rewards.
36  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: FED action against bitcoin & crypto on: May 11, 2024, 06:39:42 PM
It's weird that FUD spreaders aren't celebrating with all these negative news, I guess there's not a lot of people out there that's taking them seriously nowadays that it's not worth their time to be a hater of bitcoin anymore. It's such a surprising thing too that they're actively moving against crypto again, really crazy that they're suddenly hostile with bitcoin and crypto again, I do hope though that this will only strengthen the community though. The arrest of Roger Ver is one of the biggest one in my opinion, $48m alleged fraud? Wow! Suddenly they're doing all of this now? They really must need Ver's wealth.
But, are they celebrating publicly even before? I didn't feel that. Maybe they are not only showing it publicly but deep inside them, they are very happy when their plans of destroying Bitcoin are happening successfully. As they say, 'once a hater will always be a hater' so they will remain as is, even if people won't take them seriously anymore and in fact their force will get stronger this time.

The reason on why they are active again is because we are in the bull run and this makes people go crazy towards it. I don't think they will act nicely without a return but you already said the reason for their appearance here. They need more money as much we can.
37  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 5 Coins to buy - good selection? on: May 11, 2024, 05:58:22 PM
Not much idea about Render. I'd say absolutely no to Moonbeam and Near protocol. I've used Moonbeam in past and it's not an improvement to popular L2 in any sense. Just used it for higher staking rewards on USDT. Near is nearing death before even having real test on market. It's already outdated.
Solana is a good investment at least for near term. They are the leader in L1 and would be the driving force for next bull. Even in a pessimistic outlook, the coin is going to double in a year. Shiba, though not the best memecoin to invest, surely is a safer bet. That too could easily atleast double your investment next year.
But did Render said that they are an improvement to the popular Layer 2 solutions? Maybe not, and maybe the people's expectations about them are only high and maybe their true purpose is really like that (to give stakers a higher rewards). That's already better than nothing and besides, what matters to most of us here are only the profit and not really the technology behind a cryptocurrency, am i right or left?

Moving on to Near protocol, it looks like its name is fit for its situation now haha. About Solana and Shiba inu, I quite agree with that, so OP should replace GLMR with SOL. In this situation, we can say that 2 is better than 5.
38  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you feel that the global economy is declining? on: May 11, 2024, 09:33:53 AM
One of my colleagues told me that his salary is lower now than it was five years ago. Sadly, the price of goods is rising.
that is why it's not good to depend on monthly salary if you are working and you are earning money monthly you have to diversify your source of income so that when economy of your country is rough you can survive through different ways because many people who depend on monthly salary do suffer when they country is not balanced myself I have different investment have that used to sustain me since I was born I've not done a government work before or based on monthly salary to take care of my needs and want.
I think it's not the fault of our salary or not having a multiple income stream but the problem is about the inflation and its rising rates. We don't want this to happen either because we know that it will only going to affect us negatively but it can be the result of greedy actions made by the people who are more higher than us. You know, the banks and governments for example. But since it is already there and it seems there is no stopping them anymore, the only thing that we can do is to follow your suggestion there. The last thing that you have said is only a bit exaggerated to me and it already sounded like you are boasting already. Sorry about that.
39  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Some topics to look for when starting trading on: May 10, 2024, 08:22:33 PM
It will be really difficult for a newbie to trade immediately on an exchange platform, whether it is CEX or DEX, when he has no understanding of trading.
It is always going to be difficult for someone to begin trading when they haven't done it before. The online trading especially crypto trading is much different than trading of goods. That's why someone should first learn trading by reading trading related books, watching trading related videos, and observing the market's ups and downs.

Once someone understands that how the trading thing works then he/she should begin trading with small amounts. I know some people suggest newbies to start trading with demo accounts but I don't prefer demo accounts as they aren't helpful to make profits as a trader. Many of the traders who mastered trading with demo accounts have lost money when they begin trading with actual money.
Even though trading of goods is still a kind of trading, I think yeah I can agree with you that crypto trading is still different. It is because they are currencies and the more they depend on price. That is why we have extensive charts and market analysis for them. Doesn't matter what type of trading we pick up, learning is always a must and the basic, before we start on the actual thing.

Demo accounts are fine for a newbie but it can be optional once you already gained enough experience. Crypto markets are very volatile. This might be the reason on why we can master the demo trade but when it comes to the real trade the results changes quickly or vice versa.

From the results of this week's matches we can see that Al Nassr's defense is very fragile, they were already 2 goals ahead and in the second half the score was equal after Al Akhdoud was able to equalize. In fact, if you look at the quality of the players, those 2 goals should not have happened to them in this match, which in the end made them have to work even harder to win the match. Luckily they were able to score them in the final minutes of the match so they were able to win this match.

Al Nassr must really improve their defense, otherwise they will always suffer the same fate every season. Their attack line is very good, but they cannot balance it with a solid defense line, so several times they have had to accept unsatisfactory results. They can take advantage of the upcoming transfer market to bring in players who are more trustworthy to guard their defensive area, because they cannot continue like this.
Their defense problem was highlighted in early half of the season, but sadly they fail to fix this which create problems for them throughout season, and now they are going end their season with second spot and concede most goals in top four teams even their attack is also most effective with having 93 goals in 31 matches is impressive from them, but now they need to work on their defense before next season started because this could be key for their success.

We have two teams are spotted for the AFC Champions League with Al Hilal and Al Nassr but for third spot we are having three teams in race with Al Ahli is favorite because Al Ittihad is lost their chances and can stay at the fourth spot which is surely not ideal end for the titleholder in last season.
