2001  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it advisable to invest on Solana? on: April 24, 2023, 07:07:41 PM
Lots of users here are still cautious about Solana because FTX are involved with it and they are planning to restart their crypto exchange again. Where do you think they will get the money? People suspects from their Solana investment but it was still up to you if you will invest on it because it was your money not ours.
Not just that, several news reports plenty of times that its network was suspended. As for USDC and USDT transfers, in some exchanges withdrawals and deposits were halted but only for the Solana chain. This was quite a long time ago but can still be used as a reference for those who think of investing in it.

Who here thinks the BRICS new world order is the wrong direction for that part of the world to move in?
There really are some democracy concerns on this yet these countries are more or less selling off their freedoms of the people in the name of economy

thoughts anyone?

and yes BRICs will impact crypto as well
How does this is going to impact crypto? You should give some idea on how exactly it will.

I think people might be over-estimating the capacity BRICS have to become a new weight in the balance of power around the world. There are still many things they have to solve so they can become more efficient in achieving mutual economic objectives.
This is what I'm saying. It shows that many don't like the reigning of the US dollar for how many years and its supremacy. And when this news came out, many thought to be optimistic about BRICS.
But, it's still in its early stage despite that many have heard of it years ago but it just come to pass on its reality this year. I agree that there's still a lot for them to solve but then, we will have to wait how both of these superpowers will react to each other as US isn't alone, it's got its subordinates as well.

Not that hard enough to teach if it's Ryan Garcia because he's still young, I mean I know he can, it's just that he was too confident of his talent which is the lethal left hook because that is what made him reach this far until Gervonta Davis came to teach him some lesson that it's not all about talent. Boxers are expected to improve every fight but Ryan didn't, on purpose.

As saying goes, "hard work beats talent if talent doesn't work hard" and that's what happened to him on that fight.
When it's already inside the ring, no one can expect what's next to happen. Being confident is helping these fighters to step up their game but it's true that being confident isn't enough and it should be done with hard work. We saw it from the greatest that they're not just confident and it's just all talk but they're also working hard to improve and strengthen themselves. Now, this is going to make themselves also more matches to come and with Ryan Garcia, he'd crave to win for his next match whoever it will be.

A person's mindset is very instrumental in seeing how efficient he is in thinking about a goal in the future, and of course this mindset involves knowledge, education is an important factor in making them gain knowledge and a good mindset, and from here most people fail to gain knowledge from education, either they cannot continue their education or they are not interested.
Influencers that I do get to watch their motivational videos, and they're all telling me that if you want to succeed you need to first change your mindset. And you're right that it's very important for someone who foresees something in the future with what he does. If his visions and mindsets are contradicting each other, then we know where it's heading. With what you're saying about education, honestly, they're almost everywhere now. The motivations are there and it should start with your own situation, the tools, and resources are also there. They are just needed to be used properly.

Not only mindset but the way of living.  There is nothing worth noting that if someone wanted to change he needs to changes the way he do things.  Mindset is just a generalized vague word.  Let us say the person wanted to get out of poverty that is his plan and his mind is set on that plan.  Doesn't change their mindset defeat their purpose of getting out of poverty?  At most the best advice is to change his way of living.  If he is lazy then be hard working.  If he lacks knowledge then strive to learn.  If he is shy then be confident.  It is much better to list the things need to do than just saying vague stuff like changing your mindset.
It all starts with having the proper mindset. When you've got that right mindset thinking that you'll be able to get out of poverty with the things you've learned from various people that you've met and those that have inspired you then that's where the way of living is about to change.
There are people that are hardworking and no doubt that they're putting the best that they can but it seems not enough because it's not just all about hardworking but also working smartly and at the same time the right mindset.
2005  Economy / Gambling / Re: No bet is a waste on: April 24, 2023, 10:10:53 AM
No bet is a waste when someone bet in their favorite team/player.
Yes, when you bet for your favorite team and player and you think that they're about to win but then it turns out that they've lost. That's not really a problem for you to be thinking about. That's gambling, we either win or lose and that's it. We just have to move on with our bets and enough is enough. We have to try again and be better with our next bets and who knows with that next bet, either with our favorite teams/players or not, as long as you think that you've got a chance to win then that's all about the phase in gambling. We win, we lose, we bet again and do analysis again if it's ever needed but then if you're not the yolo type of bettor then you won't be compromising your money by doing bets without any analysis.
2006  Economy / Economics / Re: marry rich: marry fiat rich or crypto rich, which is better? on: April 24, 2023, 09:14:32 AM
In life you have to be rich of something, or nobody want to marry to you, and have build a family with you, you would be foreveralone
I don't think so, with my experiences with past relationships. I'm not rich and I have nothing to boast about and even employed somehow but then, there were some of them that have been willing to settle with me and build our dreams together on our journey. There are women that are for the money and riches and that's normal for them to think about their security and future. But then, not all of them can be classified to have that standard. There are women that are for the attitude and how eager you are in reaching your goals, there are people that are also intelligent but still not yet on the peak of their riches and that's sexy on them.

So back to question. which is preferred? Married to fiat rich or crypto rich? Although crypto can be created at the comfort of your basement, also the value would plummet quickly to near zero too. Do you think in your life, you would ever see someone marry to crypto rich? btw recent news about ftx being rejected to sponsor a superstar due to it is unregistered tell me marry crypto rich might be a distance dream. Also there would be only 21m bitcoin existed, only 21m couples would be able to married rich. When there is billions of population, a lot of couples may not marry rich, due to unequal distribution, some of the crypto super rich would married hundreds of thousand more.
To classify the difference of the two, I think as long as there's the description of "rich", it will be chosen.
2007  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Family first.. on: April 24, 2023, 08:20:52 AM
Cheating is a choice and I understand where the man has come from on why he did that to cheat on his wife's friend. But then, it's a matter of personal choice and he should have talked again to his wife before committing cheating. Going with the family, it's true that we should value our family, we do work hard for them but also need to remember that work isn't everything but family is. As long as you get to survive and have your basic needs with your salary or from your business, don't forget to give the attention that your children and your spouse need.
It wouldn't make you late to work if you spend a couple of minutes cuddling your with your spouse, talking about the weekend and places that you want to visit during your rest days.
2008  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Looking a partner on: April 24, 2023, 07:47:10 AM
With that amount and you being new to the forum, you may attract a lot of scammers. But if you're legitimate, you can start out with your local community from there in Miami, I'm sure that you'll get to find genuine people that will help you do what you wanna do.
But that won't except you from being scammed locally so you got to filter all of those people that might approach you. The other way of doing this is to learn on your own, with that money, I wouldn't entrust it to anyone as if it's going to be easy trusting random people with that amount and tell them to grow that money through trading. With the hardship of life these days, people can do almost anything up to the point of crumpling their reputation as a person whether you knew them or not. Before you find a partner, you better inform yourself and study how to trade first. A few bucks won't hurt that amount from learning lessons and getting mistakes.
2009  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Losses Equal Operational Costs on: April 23, 2023, 11:53:28 PM
We truly don't have control over the market and that's why everyone is eager to do every strategy that we found and we think might work for us. But just as the thing that works for others, they may not work for us. The here is that we need to look at our losses and in which part we think we've done wrong. Being disciplined and strategic with our trades should always be accompanied by being patient.
That's where every trader is losing control when we think that we've done that much and yet the results aren't impressive because we keep on losing our trades and by that case, it only means that there's something wrong.
2010  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Fight against corruption on: April 23, 2023, 11:23:50 PM
It's possible, but it will be more than his position that he needs to stop corruption. He needs the help of other people in the position of greater public posts to support him against this action.
When we're talking about corruption, it's already a business that's being passed on and making many more people involved because there's a huge chunk of the pie that needs to be shared. It won't be that easy and it will take a lot of years and terms before a genuine president annihilates all of the corrupt authorities in the public position. I don't want to lose hope that these corrupt people in the public post will be gone because they must be gone as they're like an obstacle to a country's progress and better lives for constituents.
2011  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: April 23, 2023, 09:57:46 PM
There might be no risk of losing here since there’s no money involve, I still consider this as gambling as you play with the casinos games, because for me it looks like you are just learning how the site works and you will try it with real money sooner or later.
I also think it's gambling. It's being done inside a casino and even without the need to stake money, still that may be taken as a gambling because you might be able to win.

This could be just a marketing strategy, which played on your emotion and making you feel the excitement of gambling, better to be careful with this.
Right, when you've lost to the free they've given. That won't suffice you and you may want to take another bet and by that time, you need to use your own money and deposit rightafter that lost.
2012  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: If I have $40,000 to invest in one #cryptocurrency. on: April 23, 2023, 09:28:00 PM
I think it’s too risky to invest in one coin, so i would like to prefer for several coins, as like Matic,Sol,Doge, and Shib. Doge & Shib both of small coins and if those will big increase then your target will be easy
The risk is even greater if you're more with the meme coins. But then, with those successful people that have been into that venture will do approve that everyone should do it.
But investing only to one coin has an exemption and that goes with bitcoin. If you invest only with bitcoin, it's risky but it's not as risky as diversifying with several altcoins.

but i don’t think 40k$ will turn into billion it’s never possible, it can be million if will huge increase.
It's hard to imagine that but those that have made fortune and became millionaires probably has a say to this but then, we've got the same opinion that it's unlikely to happen even if you get lucky with meme coins.

2014  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: newbie invest on: April 23, 2023, 08:27:19 PM
the coin in your hand is right for profit, don't exchange it with another coin bnb coin is one of the coins that you can potentially even hold in the long term,
One mistake that I did in the past is to convert my Bitcoin into some altcoins that I think were good to invest in. And this is still applicable to these days that one shouldn't do it without thinking first.
But I think if it's with BNB and looking for some other investments, it's manageable as long as you know what you're doing. This is the kind of diversification that everybody does.
You think that there's a need to extend that amount so that you'll earn more but you'll never know if it's going to be worth it or not until you test it.
2015  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Social vices; unhealthy society. on: April 23, 2023, 07:58:04 PM
But if you have no option where you're living then you have to decide to leave and go somewhere else that you think is the right place for you to keep on living.
These social vices are contagious. If you're in the wrong hood or being with the wrong people then you're likely to be one of them as soon as possible. That's why you need to take action for yourself and that doesn't mean that they will do that forever but it's more likely that it will make your life have more problems if you're with those people because those vices will also be transferred to you.
2016  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Martingale strategy in casinos on: April 23, 2023, 07:26:58 PM
Any strategy in gambling cannot be justified even though it is a martingale strategy that really requires a large bankroll and sometimes gamblers who have large bankrolls will still lose with the martingale strategy.
It's all because the casino knows how to win and any strategy we use will be useless unless we are lucky.
So there is truth in what you say that the best choice to win is to gamble for fun.
Yes, even with larger bankrolls, that's not going to guarantee that they'll leave the casino happily. It's more of an emotional battle and no one knows if that's going to be a good sign for them to stay because they've been winning. But the thought of having a large pool of funds and bankrolls will make them stay confident that they'll not go out of the casino sad but instead, with some huge money from their winnings. And if it is with this strategy, take all of those people that have said that it didn't work for them because it didn't.
Maybe once in 100 tries Martingale strategy works but mostly it fails. Trying over and over but getting same loss streaks aka busting all balance at the end means something is wrong that has been explained on this thread. Leaving casino happy means strategy by gambler has worked somehow no matter it was Martingale or different money management method. Regardless of bankroll, player can't keep doubling each loss bet, it is recipe for failure, IMHO.
Yes, we have all proven that it doesn't really work for most. There could be a few times that it will but for our lifetime, it's just going to give us the most losses.
If someone wealthy is having fun with that and that doesn't look at big problem to him then he may do it anytime he may want for a long period of time.
That's if he's got almost unlimited money but even I've got unli money, I would be wise on how I'll spend that properly.
2017  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Keep hodling your Bitcoin on: April 23, 2023, 06:57:25 PM
Holding your bitcoin is like keep the treasure in your old house at un identify place for your future.One day that treasure will help you a lot.Even it will clear your medical bills at the old ages.Mnay old people not getting the support from their old children and siblings. Because their children will concentrate on their children and leave their parents which is not a good one.So it's better to hold some money for the savings at least for the medical expenses at your old ages, keeping at bitcoin will add your additional dollars in the long run.Since you are planned to hold for the old ages medical treatment.
I saw people that even if they want to hold for longer time, they have no option but to sell because of those unforeseen situations just like what you've mentioned.
And one of it is all about paying medical bills. We can see that a person who sold his bitcoins in need of cash for that purpose of paying hospital bills.
That's already a good purpose to be considered and when those people that have held for long, they've now seen the importance of having bitcoin that they can use in any time that the time may ask.
2018  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: IS IT SAFE TO INVEST PENSION FUNDS IN BITCOIN? on: April 22, 2023, 09:50:21 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.
With the risk of bitcoin, I'd be happy to put a portion of it but it's for my own and my own money. If it's others, I'll not rethink if I'll tell the same say but will say to study it first. The risk that bitcoin has got to offer might not be able to take by that person who's ready to take his/her pension. It's too risky for them, the old ones to have that vibe of roller coaster ride on this market. Give them time to study and learn bitcoin's volatility and from there, they'll see if they can take the ride and invest not all of their retirement funds but maybe 5%-10% of it.
That's what I think because it's better for someone who's taking a pension to just be content with it unless he'd be willing to go that far but with extra risk.

2020  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 22, 2023, 09:43:12 AM
I'm still waiting for some news on who's in and out for their 4th game. And we've got some other interesting news, I guess this is still connected to Kawhi since he played for Toronto before but it's not about him but their coach.
Coach Nurse is fired by Toronto Raptors.
(https://www.sportsnet.ca/nba/article/reports-toronto-raptors-fire-head-coach-nick-nurse/)
You want news. I'll give some news regarding who's in and who's out.

Kawhi Leonard will be out in Game 4 because of the same injury. When the time comes that they needed him the most, he can't contribute to the team. PG13 is out, now he is out. There might be a chance that the Clippers might be losing in 5 games. Yes they played well in Game 3 without Kawhi, but can they do it again in Game 4? Take note that they're up against a team who has 4 all-star players. I don't know, but I've got a feeling that they will lost in 5 games. Kawhi is a very unreliable superstar.

Joel Embiid will be out as well in Game 4 because of an injury. The reason that I've seen in the internet is that he fell so many times in that Game 3 win against the Nets that he got injured. Well, they're up 3-0 so losing in Game 4 wouldn't hurt them that much so... yeah maybe giving him time to rest as well.

As for the Raptors, after giving them one title, they're firing him. Well, I don't know who will they pick as their next coach as there are no candidates yet.
Thanks mate!
Those are big news for these teams. Kawhi needs to take rest for a while and let's see if they can do it without him on the game 4.
It's most likely that it's not going to be a win for them but then, they need to overcome this challenge or else they'll give Suns the momentum. However, it's expected that Suns will take this series.
