2021  Economy / Economics / Re: A steady source of income is a man's bottom line to support his family on: February 09, 2023, 07:26:50 AM
The interviewers would just say the job is not entitled to any insurance or benefits, what they can offer is a very low base salary and the commission part would be subject to how many sales the employee can bring to their company. My friend was not willing to take any of them because he has a family to feed and his wife's condition is unstable which could need a lot of money for surgery at any time.
It is even because of that bolded part that your friend should take the job. I am talking from a personal experience here, my wife did not need any surgery but I too turned down job offers because I mostly thought they were not willing to pay me what is desirable based on my previous jobs and experience and it was a difficult time caring for the family. I believe you should advise him like someone also mentioned earlier, it is better to take small than not to have at all.
I agree, it is important to take the smaller but guaranteed one for now, but it is also important to make sure that you have a place to grow. I think that is why I love my job, I could make this much money, but I could make more as well, depending on how life turns out.

Sometimes I feel like there is ALWAYS something going on in my life, sometimes it's not just me but like disasters and pandemic, sometimes it's just me like sickness and all, but there is always something. So if you could make sure that you could make some sort of money no matter where you are, then you will be doing fine and that is the important part, find something but also keep on looking for something bigger.

Lol this pitch giving nightmares to Australian media and fans. They already started saying that this is an unfair pitch as the Australian team has 5 left-handers in their top 7 lmao.
I have feeling Aussies are playing mind games as this is their usual business specially while they are going to visit England or India as right now these two teams are well settled and have ability to beat them at any venue, so their media is also giving them good coverage for this hype which is not going to help them for having any positive impact from this all because things looking good and most chances both teams batters will struggle here even Aussies are without any quality spinners, but things can go into any teams way.

No doubt everyone loves this hype about cricket from Aussies as they are on big tour and most chances they are going to lose BGT fourth time in a row which is also humiliated for them.
2023  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Polygon (MATIC) to $20? on: February 08, 2023, 03:54:41 PM
Well bitcoin is also in that high for the last couple of weeks and also ethereum has this so it means this is not new to expect because Matic is a good and potential coins that of course I also trust.
so lets see what comes next for this coin as we as Polygon supporters? may not expect that high but at least to see it go above 5$.
BTC and ETH isn’t comparable with Matic because both of these coins position is number 1 & 2 in crypto market. Today Matic hit 1.26$ i think which is a new ATH in the last a few months. Yeah, i don’t expect 20$ but i of course hoping that it can be hit at least $5 in the next bull run.
No, he didn't compare that two big coins to Matic but he was only saying that these two coins are also rising and we know what can happen when these two giants rose. Yes that's right, other coins can follow up as well, and the reason why Matic's percentage gain looks higher is because matic is much smaller but we shouldn't only focus on the gain. When matic or other smaller coins dump, their dumps are also huge.

Anyway, That's great if matic is the first to hit its ATH. That is still commendable even if it can not reach 20 dollars for now or on the next few months/years. $20 for Matic might still take time and its devs will need to improve their coin more.
2024  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Fake paid promotions on Twitter on: February 08, 2023, 09:19:24 AM
Here is one example of kind of string operation done

https://twitter.com/coffeebreak_YT/status/1621581040539033603?t=Vy7hWZYrxK4mob8EeFMeHw&s=19

It amplifies the need for investors to do their complete research before investing in newly launched projects. Even the person you had been admiring or following on social media platforms can be just promoting a scam. So apply some common sense next time instead of blindly following the expert financial advice of these gurus. Another platform, where this abuse frequently happens is YouTube where creators promote number of fake projects.
I don't understand. Is it not a widely known fact that Tik-tok, instagram, youtube and Twitter influencers are getting paid for tweeting?
I am not sure if i am more surprised about the fact that his promotions are so cheap or that anyone listens financial advices from someone whose job is to be choked, kicked and hit in the head.
"Must be a financial genius. Take my money!"
It is common knowledge at this point, people who think that they unearth some amazing new information are people who have been here for not so long or people who have been here long enough but want to warn newbies.

Because if you are not a newbie, you know the fact that people get paid for these things, hell Kim Kardashian was just punished for exactly this recently and it is definitely a bad situation because it means there are so many people who gets paid for these things. In any case, I believe that we shouldn't be really worried about it at all and we should be focusing on something much better which is the fact that you could make a profit yourself, without needing these people.
2025  Economy / Economics / Re: The journey of Bitcoin. on: February 07, 2023, 09:52:02 PM
bitcoin is an investment that will be very profitable for anyone, and if more and more investors are looking at bitcoin as their long-term investment asset, you can be sure that the price of bitcoin will boom. the formula is very simple, the more bitcoins are sought, the rarer they are, and the rarer bitcoin, the value goes up.
Are you sure about this formula? by looking for Bitcoin all prices will go back up and you don't think about how much the transaction fee will be every time you buy and sell Bitcoin in the crypto world. I think more factors that make changes in the price of each virtual currency at this time. I'm more waiting for the price of Bitcoin to decrease very far to be able to buy in large quantities.
I think it's definitely the right formula, after all if you keep buying and everyone keeps buying and nobody is willing to sell it cheap, then it must go up. I agree that there are some costs involved, but that doesn't mean that it will be as high as the buyers, the moment we are talking about is billions bought and not sold, that's how it goes up.

Long term is the way to go if you want the best for bitcoin and for yourself, if you buy and not sell for years and if enough people do so, then the price of bitcoin will go up. This is not happening right now of course, or at least not happening in general, just few of us, but that is the path to having bitcoin higher.
2026  Economy / Economics / Re: Is bitcoin inflation wilder than fiat? on: February 07, 2023, 09:29:22 PM
The second country which accept Bitcoin as legal tender is Central African Republic, Panama is just friendly to Bitcoin, they have a plan to legalize Bitcoin but the president reject it [1]. There are a lot countries which want to legalizing Bitcoin as legal tender, the strong contenders are: Venezuela, Paraguay and Anguilla.
I don't know what they're afraid to take the time to make a decision. Libya plans to create a single African currency because use gold where USA don't have much. If bitcoin, we know USA is 1 the most bitcoin holder in the world, they'll just agree if Venezuela, Paraguay and Anguilla use it for currency.
I think those smaller nations with not so great economy should turn to legal tender crypto so that they could end up with a lot more money in the country. Not only they would be able to tell their citizens to go make money that way, but they would be able to actually do something about it as well. That way they could tax the people in bitcoin, and use that to keep it in the books and that way treasury would grow whenever bitcoin goes up.

I get that when it goes down that looks bad, but nations do not need to cash out too quickly anyway, so they could just keep holding longer than any other person, in fact they could never cash out and just keep holding it forever.
2027  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Any new development in bitcoin since it existence? on: February 07, 2023, 08:21:32 PM
Bitcoin is obviously a very active open source project. So yes, as other have said, it is being worked on all the time and has gone through several major upgrades over the past decade since it became a more mature project and more stable.

It's not like Ethereum or altcoins where a company is in charge and can make any changes they want and they constantly hard fork it for upgrades and everyone just has to go along with it. Bitcoin is decentralized so it is a slower and safer process because it is so much more important to do everything right and with community consensus because Bitcoin is so much larger and more important than any other cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is the one cryptocurrency that can't be replaced if its development were somehow screwed up. So its only every few years there is a major upgrade to the protocol to expand its abilities, while in between there are always smaller updates to wallet software and stuff to make it a bit friendlier/easier to use.
I agree that there is a big difference between bitcoins upgrades and others, but I would also like to point out that ETH has a similar one. I mean sure Bitcoin is decentralized and ETH has Vitalik if we look at it that way, but Vitalik doesn't have any kind of extra power if we look at it technically, he could have some influence over people and convince people but he doesn't have a right to change it himself, he has to still convince people for any upgrade.

This is why I like to say that it's also decentralized. But all the others? I have seen some where there are "owners" of projects, thousands of them and that is definitely not something similar at all.
2028  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The best time to buy bitcoin. on: February 07, 2023, 06:28:22 PM
The best time would be;

1.Everything is red
2.Everyone is on fear and freaking out
3.We are seeing fuds everywhere
4. Everything is negative
5. When there's blood on the streets (not literally)  Cheesy
Which actually, if you think about it, is 80% of the time in crypto lol. Which actually also makes the longterm DCA strategy accurate in this measure, and the best strategy of all.

If you are buying all the time, you ensure you are buying 80% of times when everything is red and low. And only 20% in the time markets is green and everyone is positive.

Agree, agree, agree!
Lol, that's basically what I did with the recent drop. All through 2022 I bought bitcoin whenever I had the money for it, of course I had to cash out some and spend something etc etc, but basically my idea and mindset was similar to this. Everyone was afraid that it's going down, and yeah, it dropped more after I bought on early 2022, but by the end I was just collecting free cash if you ask me.

Right now I am already in profit, and I will probably in more profit by the end of the year as well. All I had to do was look at the market and how much people were afraid, when they are afraid then I am happy and buying, because I know that means it's doing badly, and the only way to go is up.
2029  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: ChatGPT and Trading on: February 07, 2023, 11:55:22 AM
Gosh, stop it with the whole AI thing right here right now. I don’t know where the world is going with this but it is going to create lazy quota around the world. It was time when everything was being discussed face to face, man to man and now it’s all about the computers and their language and their actions. Really? Are we going to be that much lazy now that we want a machine to trade for us or do something for us?

At the end of the day when we will sue our brains or on what we are going to use it? Are we loosing the hopes from bright minds or creating one out ourselves with the time? Oh wait I think we should ask this to ChatGPT!
It's basically a "new" technology and that is why it's so much hyped and everyone talks about what AI can do. I understand the hype around it, many people didn't know what it can do, and the previous AI versions weren't as sophisticated as chatgpt, which means that they are seeing something as evolved as this for the first time and they are not entirely sure where else they can use it.

This is why they end up considering if it could trade too, and they ask basically anything about it. But that doesn't mean that it will be true, it just means that they are curious about it and ask futile questions to learn more in depth. It's fine, but it's silly, I know.
2030  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: February 06, 2023, 05:52:35 PM
FIFA rules are pretty clear. They have large number of teams as well as sufficient funds. Moreover, when the whole world is interested in playing football, the organization of football will grow naturally. But there is no doubt that FIFA wants to be free from the political situation. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wanted to give a short speech before the final match at the last World Cup but FIFA rejected his request. This suggests that FIFA generally tries to avoid political issues. There is a vast difference in between ICC and FIFA.
FIFA is one of the toughest sports organization which is having good system to implement their decision, and they never talk about which is the biggest market and how beneficial are things from any country when they decide about their policies these works for all countries and never favor any particular country just because of this FIFA is having amazing success just like we have in Qatar too many rumors and criticism, but they were stick with their decision and at the end we have one of the best event in Qatar2022.

Now if we talk about Cricket here we have biased monopoly which is working for their own sack, and they never respect their own decisions and mostly favoured by three countries which have nothing with cricket just doing their own business just because of this we are unable to have cricket in Olympics and now many other factors which I don't want to write, but this all is just based on personal issues which are not related to security and for the love of this game it's all simple.
2031  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 06, 2023, 06:41:23 AM
Slowly the teams playing test cricket keeps decreasing and the huge money required is a reason for the same. Few countries are in good financial position and the rest are experiencing much difficulty. It is possible to see a big number of application to play IPL. The reason is the money paid to the players which can't be got even playing throughout the year. This is how cricket have turned.
Now ultimately things are changing quickly, so we have to do same here in this game because if we are not going to do few changes quickly then surely we will lose many good opportunities and countries those are currently interested in this game for the entertainment purpose like just cut the teams number in test format with eight and end the ODI format as well with this we have one issue ICC already sell media rights until 2031, so we can keep this until this time and allow franchise leagues and just T20i cricket which is surely future and have better revenue and profit for the all cricketing boards and relative authorities otherwise we will have problems and controversies with this all.

Peoples want some fast entertainment which is only possible in T20i in franchise and bilateral series are all welcome but now other two long formats are already on decrease and have no fair chance to improve their fan base as well.
2032  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Shiba inu get to $1 on: February 04, 2023, 03:28:20 PM
It can be a good choice for generating profit but I don't expect $0.01 from Shiba Inu. It has huge supply but we have to remember it is a meme coin. Besides there is no exceptional use case of Shiba Inu. If team burn tokens and work for different perspective then it can give good amount of profit in future.
for use cases while this is true we haven't seen what shiba inu has, but we also don't know what shiba inu developers have planned for the next few years, hopefully there will be interesting news about shiba inu in the future and it will become Memecoin side by side with Dogecoin in the market
They can plan whatever they want to plan, doesn't change the fact that shiba inu will not get to a dollar, and it is also not a great token as it started, it was just hyped because doge was hyped by Elon for a while and it went up and then shiba was created to use that hype and even Elon tweeted about it I think, that just made it that much more popular for a while and that's it.

This is the whole point of this token, "the thing that used the hype to get here" and nothing more, I still can't believe that people would really end up using this as an excuse or a way to make it work and I believe it shouldn't really be that important at all, it should be a lot better.
2033  Economy / Economics / Re: What do you think will happen if... on: February 04, 2023, 03:06:09 PM
What do you think will happen to crypto if institutional investors all decide to stay away from crypto investment this time around? Do you think crypto can surge of it's own especially Bitcoin without the help of institutional investors money
Yes, bitcoin can remain ever valuable and cherished without any institution, this is one of the ways to proof to you that bitcoin is actually a decentralized network and currency, it does bot rely on anyone, be it person or place to create value, as long as it maintain it protocols that guide the network people will always key into it adoption and invest because what triggered them from the first instance is the financial freedom from this institutional bodies.
It relies on everyone, and that's a bit different than relying on someone. It is not relying on "no one", that would mean that we do not matter, but we do, but we matter in a much larger capacity, there is no single person that could make it work, it's basically everyone at the same time and that's an important thing, because it means that we all matter at the same time in the same way.

However, we need to also realize that we are herded a bit as well whenever big names do something. Like look at ethereum and proof of stake, everyone talked about how great it was, and we believed, but how many really knew how well it would work? It was just said to be good and that's it, nothing more.
2034  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What makes a crypto project reliable and trustworthy ? on: February 04, 2023, 01:52:23 PM
Bitcoin is the King of cryptocurrency and most altcoins are way less qualified in terms of credibility, fanbase, high returns with minimal risks etc. I am trying my best to analyze altcoin projects but the results are not pleasant. What makes an altcoin really trustworthy ? And why ? Please let me know your opinions.                                                                           
Always research the team behind it first. That's the best you could do to check whether they will continue their project or not. Someone who has a reputation for whatever service they are providing.
An example would be Gala Games which has the head of EA Sports gaming development.
They are focusing on games so it would be best to have someone like him in their midst. Connect the dots. It's not like a gaming developer would be in a project in an exchange service or other non-related to it.
I think that's one of the most important parts of examining the legitimacy of a certain project. The rest will follow. I've already experienced a lot of rug pulls on the NFT days, and that's because of not checking that side of the project. Joined the hype and it's a failure.
To be fair, we do not know everyone in the crypto world, which means that the team could be people who are amazing at what they do or could be people who have no idea about it and we would still not have any clue why and how it would do good.

This is mainly because if someone tells you "X person is leading the team", if you do not know that X person, then you have no idea if the team is any good or not, you could look at their linkedin and hope that it says something, but it rarely does because even if you worked at the best places, you could be a moron as well, I have seen plenty of moron Google workers too, doesn't mean they will be smart, there is a reason why they no longer work there.
2035  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting strategy question on: February 04, 2023, 10:18:52 AM
Every winning in gambling is all dependent on luck, this has been the case for decades whether online or physical gambling.

  When you find that you are lucky on the day you play, for sure no matter what games you play in the casino you will win and you will go home with money, the question of luck is that there will be no problem when you take out the money you won in gambling platform you played on? because this is where there are often issues, to be honest.
yes indeed in the science of gambling, luck is the main thing and the strategy that brings us closer to that luck.
sometimes a gambler forgets this knowledge and just bets without thinking about the strategy he has to calculate with mathematics. but almost all gamblers always use a strategy to gamble in one of the games to get profit or victory. although in the end it is luck that decides, but if you are good at calculating betting strategies, it will be closer to the luck you will get.
I agree about the luck but for the strategy? I think it depends only on certain games. It can be applied on poker, blackjack, on some other card games and also in sports betting. For someone who is serious about winning and making a profit then there is no way they can forget adding a strategy to each of their games but there are some who just wants to test if how lucky they are, and there are newbies who don't know if what strategy is good to use so they just play the game directly.

Other than calculating the strategy, I think it's best to also calculate the odds or our chances of winning, so that we can decide if it's worth the risk or not.
2036  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Tools for analysis on: February 04, 2023, 09:59:59 AM
Tell us your experience with different tools and services to analyze the cryptocurrency market

Which ones helped and which ones,on the contrary,made the situation with trading worse
Few of basics like pattern recognition in line chart and candlesticks always proved as a better one in higher time frames. But, we need multiple confirmations to take any trading decisions which is the reason I always go with pivot point analysis along with RSI oscillator. These are all more effective when combined and for higher time frames. If you want to use these for day-trading signals then you may end up losing for sure.

Usually all trading tools are too good for decision making in long term trading. I am always preferring holding still I do risk on riding on trends in long term and for this I go with larger time framed signals which are comparatively effective to get me better results.
2037  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how to trade short term in crypto,, on: February 04, 2023, 09:30:22 AM
trading will likely cause you more harm than good, given that you are new to cryptocurrency, unless you have prior experience trading forex, stocks, or other speculative markets.
Yeah, this is in mind whenever someone wants to make fortune out of cryopto in short term. Especially bitcoin requires at least 4 year of patience to see the maximum benefit. If we want to reduce those waiting period then we need to sacrifice significant amount of benefits. When people try to reduce that 4 year waiting into few hours then the risk will explode exponentially which might end up losing. Short term is gambling in my opinion and if you understand the risks then you may go for it.

It takes days sometimes months for someone to want to learn and do short term crypto trading, in short trading the risk of loss is huge, remember, trading knowledge is very important.
Instead of spending time and efforts on learning the skills on effective trading, I guess it would be better going for holding for years to get maximum benefit with bitcoin. Even in current bullish trend, I guess making profits in bitcoin market is not easier for all traders; so, avoiding short term trades must be a good idea in my experiences.
2038  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: February 03, 2023, 06:19:23 PM
The second major ICC tournament of this year will start by next week. 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup will witness the participation from 10 countries, and will be played in South Africa from 10th to 26th February 2023 (the same venue where U-19 Women's world cup was held a few weeks back). India and Australia are the favorites to win the trophy this time, with England and South Africa also in contention. Bangladesh and Ireland have progressed from the qualifier tournament (which saw participation from 8 teams).
Ten teams and same pattern look like we are not going to have any changes in this world cup as well because from these two pools Australia, New Zealand and then England and India will be in last four others will be suffered badly against the quality of these big-4 because no other country is having better domestic set up for the women's cricket just few are now on the way for the better future but it's never been easy and also time-consuming as well.

But I am happy now we have ICC-19 women's event which is surely going to help them for increasing quality and brining better players from early ages as well in group a with New Zealand and South Africa we can expect some fight otherwise things are not good for having any good entertainment.
2039  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin - take profits or continue to DCA? on: February 03, 2023, 02:46:58 PM
The final decision is yours! But if I were you, I would continue holding it and keep on buying in small quantities. Bitcoin has just started showing an uptrend. It's just the beginning and it won't stop here. So I would keep on buying at the current level.

I would generally avoid altcoins except ETH. But don't sell your bitcoins to buy into altcoins. Invest additional money into it. But again that's my personal take on the situation.
I would also say that if you are not in need of money and have faith in BTC then hold it for long term to take out profits but if you want short term gains then you can also sell it but doing DCA is your wish and how much you want to invest in it.The amount should be invested which is surplus with you and not taking too much risk in it as one loss can turn you down but there's high chances of getting profits from bitcoin in the long run.
Serious investors are well planned and don't put all their money in one basket so that they still have something to get in tough times and there is no need for them to sell their Bitcoin. They can also use some of their pocket money to do a DCA but I know many are not organized as that so they can't help it but to sell some of their Bitcoins only to have money to survive.

This isn't wrong as long as they will buy back again after some time. Losses (especially bigger ones) can indeed turn us down but this wasn't the end. As long as we try to divert our attention to positive things again and prevent ourselves from selling at a loss then there is still a chance that we can recover.
2040  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: NFT/METAVERSE price movement, prediction and discussion on: February 02, 2023, 08:52:12 PM
Sorare NFT continues to spread their wings and leagues in Europe will be their target. With their consistency, Sorare has a great chance to become one of the biggest NFT platforms in the world.
Some crypto exchanges are already cooperating with some of the biggest sports names and encourage them to create their own NFT's but this Sorare is I think bigger than them because they don't only focus on one sport. This was a proof that NFT's aren't dead yet and maybe there are still other areas out there or fields which haven't been explored yet to join the NFT mania.

Currently, if you analyze transactions, you can observe a large number of price manipulations for NFT tokens. This is done in order to show how expensive the sales were and what a cool project during the next bull run. Most NFT projects will not survive this crypto winter. However, TOP projects and NFT blue chips will develop the community more and attract new followers.
That's no surprise and most of it are not only due to manipulation to take advantage of those who FOMO but it was also caused by those who launder money. Cases like that are said to be rampant now here in the world of NFT's but i hope more regulations can come so that this can be lessened at least and then the reputation of the NFT's won't be totally damaged.
