2041  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC bulls back? on: February 16, 2023, 10:46:01 PM
Today, the bitcoin price has finally broken through the $24k level and is close to reaching $25k. This is sure to make people who take bitcoin for granted regret not having bought bitcoin at yesterday's low price. Hopefully, this price will still increase so much that they will feel more regret for missing a good moment to buy bitcoin.

With the current pump, they should be able to open their eyes to trying to become strong hands in holding bitcoin. They must learn from this experience because they see it in front of them. Even my friends who were left behind buying at $22k and $23k expressed their disappointment at missing out on that great moment.
People who are still taking bitcoin for granted are people who never learn their lessons. I mean it has gone down before and it managed to go back up, and did it many many times in a row, which means that if you are actually involved in bitcoin world, then you should probably know that bitcoin is something that will go up in the long run anyway and should get in when you see it cheap.

People who see it go down and sell their coins instead of buying more should learn their lessons by now, because if the price is going down that means you should buy and hold it until it goes up, and it will go up, it always does. This is why I highly doubt it would be any different this time around.
It is true they should know better but once a pattern is set up in the mind of a trader is very difficult to change it, even if evidence is shown that what they are doing is not working and it will never work very few people can look at their past actions objectively, admit their mistakes and then change their ways, so besides an occasional reminder of the mistakes they are making there is not much we can do to help those which are unwilling to change their ways.
Some do adjust and some who arent on which its up to theirs on whatever decisions that they would be making specially into their trading styles and methods.Mistakes and errors is inevitable and its not

that surprising considering that we are dealing on a market which doesnt precisely follow neither TA or FA.This is why you should really be that versatile and really be that prepared for whatever things that might be encountered ahead.

Bulls back? This is what i had believed on the time the price had touched up 25200+ but we are all wrong.Selling pressure or simply the bears cant really just let it happen.
Now we are back on 24k and might possibly going even lower.
2042  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is risky, be conscious on: February 16, 2023, 09:44:52 PM
Trading is a risky thing, especially if we invest in new projects, price fluctuations can be close to 100% if they drop but can go up thousands of percent in a day, as a trader of course the first and most important thing is to be aware and understand all the risks, don't sell assets which can stress us out when there is a price drop, it's better to use the money in your pocket to trade, and always learn from profit or loss to become a better trader.
People need to realize the risk they are taking when they are trading and most of them don't. This causes a lot of new people to lose money because they are not aware of the risks that they are taking when trading. Investing and trading are not the same, if you trade that means you have to buy and sell, pretty quickly if you can, whereas investing means you could buy, and hold for many years without selling and make a profit.

Trading is risky because of this, it doesn't give you time to right your wrongs, so you need to be a lot more careful and yet many people are not that much careful about it, and this causes them to end up losing a ton of money.
They really need to because if they wont really be seeing the risk about trading then it wont really be that a good thing because it would be basically affecting their risk management specially into finances.
You cant really be able to see for yourself on what would be the possible things that might happen ahead.

Make yourself aware about your actions and be having that realistic approach.Dont make yourself that too hype up and really that in mood that you could make money easily with trading.
This isnt how this thing works or the most common scenario which you could able to experience on.There's always that risks which is really that normal for you to face it on.
2043  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bitcoin gambling problem on: February 15, 2023, 10:24:25 PM
OP Thanks for sharing the site. Anyone can need a site. We have no problem with the online gambling category we are betting on. If there is any problem we can solve it ourselves. And we never bet big money. Bet with a small balance. We have no problem losing there. But there are many people who face problem by betting huge amount of money, maybe this site can solve them. But I don't know how good the solution will be. And my question is if I lose here, how will they help me?

They are helping with gambling problems, so I don't think they will help you financially, when you lose with your gambling.
The services they are offered say its free, so hopefully, they won't ask fees later on, and totally free.
This will be a great help for some gamblers here who want to change for the better of themselves.
Quitting is hard for most gamblers, they need to find a very good motivation why they are changing their path of living.
Free is good and there's no risk for you to deal off with since there's no money getting involved.If there are some addicted gamblers out there who do have huge problems about addiction then this site

or service might help out but of course this isnt something that you could really make yourself that able to solve out your addiction.I agree on what other points on here that self acceptance is the key.
You wont really be needing all of these things if you are really that aware on what you are doing and you do know on how to stop because you are really that wasting too much
money.
2044  Economy / Economics / Re: To cut financial ties with original family benefits you in the long run on: February 15, 2023, 09:32:46 PM

Most of us are born in a normal family. By normal, I mean we are nurtured and raised by healthy parents and they are still active when we graduate from college and start working. In many countries where economy has been hit by the COVID and affliated incidents, life has been harder than before and many have to choose to live with or at least ask help from their parents. From parents pespective, I believe as long as they are able to help, most likely they will be willing to help, because they love you. From children's perspective, I think this may solve some realistic problems in the short term, but in the long run, this will damage the creativity and motivation to face life challenges and harm the ability to manage finances, especially if you are a man. I say this because a lot of the friends from my generation are struggling financially now because they have been dependent on their parents and even after getting married and establishing a new family, they took a regular amount of money from their parents to pay off mortgages or cover other expenses. They've never thought about having another stream of income or one day their parents may not be making money and instead need money and care from them. A lof of hidden problems are there but just ignored. In my opinion, the earlier you become independent financially, the more likely you will be living a comfortable life with your finances. Better to know this and be prepared, if you are young.
Early or late you would be still end up on the same path which is really that able to realize on how hard would be living specially when you do have your own family on which you would really be needing to

be that thinking independently.Its normal that when we are still young and havent finished schooling then we are really that an obligation by our parents on which it would be normal that they would really

be nurturing us until we do become independent.Somehow those points above are really indeed true and should really be happening in reality but of course its impossible
that you wont really be making some self realizations.
2045  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It is ok to sell your Bitcoin. on: February 15, 2023, 09:20:45 PM
~ Why do people hodl rather than sell and buy again when low
Any BTC price is low. 15k was low, 69k was low; 1m which we haven't seen yet, is low too. And so is 100m.

Those who bought BTC when it was $1 and have held it until now, have probably done much better than anyone trying to time the market.
There are, however, not many such people. Those who bought at $1 sold it at $10, those who bought at $10 sold at $100. Then maybe bought again out of FOMO when it hit $500 and lost by selling on a dip to $50. A nerve-racking game. Meanwhile, those who have held have made a 20000x. It's much easier and less stressful to stop watching the charts and keep holding until you stop DCAing in (a.k.a. retirement), because the ultimate value of BTC is infinity.


Do you realize that in order to reach $1 million market cap should be around 21 000 000 000 000? I can't say that's not possible, but that's a pretty big goal and I'm not sure if we'll ever see that. When people say that BTC's value is infinite it sounds kinda crazy, like you're from a cult.
Being optimistic isnt really that bad but of course it should really be backed up with some realistic approach.Even myself would really say up that 1m/coin isnt really just something that could happen even in our dreams considering on how much recognition and adoption we do really need up before it could reach up huge numbers.Considering on what would be the cap then it is something
that not possible.I cant blame out those people who do make out those kind of hopes or expectations but they should lower their standard and expectations so that they wont get
end up on waiting up like forever. Cheesy

Set out realistic limits so that you wont really be making yourself look like a fool on waiting something that cant happen.
2046  Economy / Speculation / Re: what now ? on: February 14, 2023, 11:22:19 PM
what you guys think , it's a short term rally or beginning of bull market
or I missed the bottom
If you're buying to hodl till 2024 or first quarters of 2025 then you entry price shouldn't be a concern to you. The reason being that Bitcoin is projected to hit a level higher than its previous ATH of $68k+ in 2021. I expect a repeat of that awesome rally in 2025 too. At the current price of $22,240 I think it's still a discount. You don't have to buy all you want at once. You can DCA on it and keep getting more anytime it dips for price correction.
Not all would really be eyeing for the bull run moment but rather they would really be looking after for short term duration and this is why they do really decide to trade up actively.
Getting in with the current price isnt really that a bad idea.Hoard while you still can because we cant be sure if the bull run would really be happening so soon or not.
One things for sure that there's a bull run that would happen.Dont make yourself that too emotional or impulsive when it comes into your portfolio.
Dont tend to see it and check every day or very often so that you wont panic out.
2047  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers theory on BEGINNERS LUCK. on: February 14, 2023, 09:59:26 PM
Beginner's luck is common in stock trading, gambling and investment.

The first wagers and trades a person makes tend to be logical and intelligent. Translating to success.

Then greed and emotion cloud their judgement. They lower their standards and make less rational wagers and trades.

That appears to be the most common cycle for most.
Common cycle indeed and when things turns out to touch up the reality then this is where self realization do kicks in that it was never been easy.You would say that you had been lucky on the first time you had tested or tried it out.On the time that you had been making money on your first try then you would really be having that motivation and positivity that you could really do this all day and making yourself that rich in a short span of time.Its true that this is where standards would be lessen out and ending up on messing around which is really that a very  common ending.
Self realizations do always come in the end which is normal.
2048  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Holding could be better on: February 14, 2023, 08:57:30 PM
Waiting for the proper moment to acquire bitcoin will be wonderful because the price of bitcoin has increased recently. Although I am aware that no one will be able to recognize the bull market since it is unknown, it is still feasible that a bull run will start when there is a bull market because the price will benefit you. Making poor decisions will be a major contributor to crypto trading failure.
And it's down again. Coming from $24k, it's like $21k-$22k as of this moment. And that's the moment that others might be waiting for but it's on them whether they'll be obliged or not.
Because even if we tell them how cheap it was before, many won't take action and telling that they should go for more dips before they entirely buy a few bits that will be part of their holding.

That's how some traders/investors deal with it,

they are afraid of taking the risk while the market is still down, but for those wise traders, they will take that risk and buy more as
they understand the cycle.

Buy and hold for the best interest for your investment, not all can patiently wait as most of the time traders are aiming for a
quick money that they can earn from the market.
There are different types of investors in this crypto market, many of them are interested in short term profit and there are many who want to stay away from it all. They are long term believers. A holder always get the highest advantage from all the aspects in crypto currency investment. But for this, he has to be patient enough. Holdings are relatively low risk and hassle free investment method. A large part of crypto investors are just trust holdings. Those who hold the appropriate coins will be benefited. But as easy as it seems to hold, it is not easy.
But if we do make out  some comparison in between those holders and active traders when it comes to profit then there's no doubt that those who deal up in short term are the ones who would be tending to hold because not all could really be able to withstand the risk of this volatile and unpredictable market and this is why they do decide to hold instead on trading it up actively.
There are two types of investors on which the ones who do actively trades and the one who hold no matter what.Its true that holding might sound simply but its not because you would really
be that affected by lots of things along the way which would really be putting you in doubt whether you should hold or sell early or cut loss.
2049  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How does regulation affect the future of cryptocurrency? on: February 12, 2023, 09:55:24 PM
It's a make or break thing for crypto. If the regulation is in favor of cryptocurrencies, it can attract a lot of new people that have always wanted to try cryptocurrencies but never did because they're uncertain of its legality. If it's the opposite, it will drive away those who wanted to try it, while some hardcore users will likely still use it albeit being put into danger for their disobedience of the said regulation. Regulation, unfortunately, is what decides whether things will flourish or not. Same goes to crypto although it has somewhat existed without any regulations applied to it whatsoever but it still is deterring people to use it because of the uncertainty.
We know that each corners of the world or simply speaking about government wouldn't really be seeing that crypto is something that they could easily accept.We do know on what are their main concerns if we do speak about being decentralized or something that cant really be controlled.

Regulation does really affect out and we've seen that it gets becomes tighter as the years passing which they are really that trying to touch up those platforms and services who do really get involved
with crypto. Yes, it could affect but still we do have some markets that cant really be touched up by the government no matter what.
2050  Economy / Economics / Re: Can one achieve financial independence through crypto currency? on: February 12, 2023, 04:24:23 PM
The popularity of crypto currencies has been on the rise in recent years and many people are drawn to them as a means to achieveing goal of financial freedom.
Additionally, the decentralization and global nature of crypto currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum and others, have made them an attractive option for those who want to take control their financial future and want to avoid traditional banks and financial institutions. They can also provide hedge against inflation and currency devaluation.

Given these factors, the dream of financial freedom can come true by using crypto currency?
If you've done it on the right way and a little bit mix of luck when it comes on buying some hidden gem that could potentially hit up 100-1000x of your investment then that would be a good headsup.

You could make use of those profits whether to invest into real world investment or would be scattering out also in crypto as well.If you are wise on how to diversify your money through investment
and able to sustain out then you could achieve this state.

Of course this wont really be a smooth sail ride and not something simple that you could deal with since baring up the risks is much more higher
compared into those traditional investment that we do know.
2051  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL] Using AI to predict outcomes on: February 11, 2023, 08:19:20 PM

Gamblers will definitely be able to adapt to the current situation because if there are already a lot of gamblers who use AI well and can benefit from using AI, they should also find a way to try it. AI is a tool to help us do something so that we can do it properly and quickly, and using AI to get information about the teams that will compete will give us a faster time in collecting the data. And we can also find out how much the percentage of each team is.

Yup, gamblers who are keen to find ways to have some decent advantages will try to explore and use it to make a good analysis when picking the right game to bet, I'm sure there's people who already exploring and trying the opportunity that this AI is now providing not an assurance but some data that can be usable to analyze well.

This data is worthy if ever you are aiming to pick games and see if which team/player do have a decent advantaged in winning the game.
For some information which we do need then it would really be that considerable on picking up some information but on the time that you are fully relying on what this AI is really telling you then i dont see

for it to be that recommended on doing so.We do all know that informations given are those info's that been fed up into its library or something that had been stored and accumulated which it would be a continous learning which we do know about AI's where it do pertains on past events and it is really just not bad to think off that tending to ask out on things which we know that it is really
that speculative and there's no way that we could rely on that.
2052  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoiners are not friendly physical? on: February 10, 2023, 11:55:13 PM
Being a bitcoiner is a pride, but people never want the same to be exposed for different reasons. Just my personal experience, I'm from a country where cryptocurrency isn't regulated and the government haven't revealed any official announcement on usage. Just the taxation on cryptocurrency have made people to consider it as legal and use it. In such situation exposing myself as a cryptocurrency user could direct me towards issues if someone is with vengeance with me.
We love and became a supporter of bitcoin not only into its earning opportunity but also it does possess that anonymity and decentralized feature on which we do really see this as one of the reasons

on why we are involving with this thing but it doesnt always mean that every believer would really be have that confidence on showing up themselves face to face considering that we do know on what are
the impose or possible risk that might lie ahead and waiting considering that when it comes to money then you are sure no safety.

This is why we a re really that paranoid on trying to make yourself that known as a bitcoiner on physical appearances or what but here on online then
we wont really be having doubts.
2053  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading addiction, are you coping? on: February 10, 2023, 10:55:12 PM
What are you doing naturally to stay away from trading addiction?
To stay away from trading addiction, I set clear trading goals for why I am trading and what I hope to achieve. Doing this, helps me stay focused and avoid getting caught up in the excitement of the market. I endeavor to have a set limit on the amount of time and money I will spend on trading. My mentor has counseled me on the importance of taking breaks, so whenever I am feeling stressed or experiencing burnout, I engage in other hobbies and activities to maintain a healthy balance.
Why stay away if you could make up money? Yes, we can lose money in trading but in exchange you would really be able to gain up experience and learning which you could really be able to make use later

on and this is why it would really be that better to stick and not to quit up.Just like the rest been saying about comparing trading and gambling addiction is different thing.We do kow on which one is worth and we know on which one is really that dangerous.So via with our own common sense then you could be able to point out on which one is really good for long term.
There's no need for us to mind off about coping up or trying to get rid.Why would try to get rid on something that you could potentially earn?
2054  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What most gamblers do. on: February 10, 2023, 09:59:10 PM
...
I will like to ask OP have you done an analysis on this matter before coming to this strong conclusion. The fact the few persons you know as gamblers find it difficult to save isn't enough reason to generalise that all gamblers find it difficult to save. Saving is a thing of personal discipline, Even business gurus can become victims too. I believe gamblers like everyother person do save except i see a proven analysis from a large gambling sample to prove otherwise.

As regards gamblers helping their families i will still say it is based on discipline. Giving is a gift irrespective of how the money is gotten. I think gamblers who finds it difficult to help their families most times are addicts who gamble all they have and at the end of the day they lose everything and nothing to remit to their families. But for responsible gamblers majority of them take their families in high esteem.
Doesnt need some analysis because it is really just a common sense approach on where presuming out that most gamblers doesnt really have a savings.We do know that we cant just make out some conclusions without any basis in regarding on how much money they do own and saving up.Its a personal thing that cant really be known since its internal. Thing here that as a gambler you should
really know your limits.

Most likely people would be affecting out their savings on the time that they had get addicted with gambling.This is where people do usually fall downon doing so.
This is why its always recommendable that you should be sensible towards your actions.

Addiction from trading or more like treating depression from losing a lot of money? I would choose the latter as a more valid reason to be confined or rehabilitated hehe. They just needed to put a new name to it for distinction and it's probably the same how they came up with the term "gambling addiction".


But gambling addiction is real, and trading is, to some degree, the same as gambling because you need to take monetary risks in each trade just like you're betting in something like a dice game. It's that feature in both gambling and trading that makes it feel exciting, and the excitement comes when dopmaines are released in our brains. The dopamine release, to have the same feeling when you're used to it, you're required to gamble/trade more and more with larger amounts. Don't treat "gambling addiction" like something fake. It's very real.
Lol,well I have been a victim to one,I don't think I will be a victim to both gambling and trading,because if one should be a victim to the two,that will be the worst state of a man,and if he is in that kind of state,I don't think it will be easy to get out.I know what gambling addiction has don't to my life,and the kind of stigma it has given to me,so I cannot add that of trading too.I trade only when I see that I might be on the safer side,and what ever thing that makes me loose money for once,I hold on for a while,to avoid excessive waiste of money especially when the luck is not on my side.
You could be having multiple addictions which it would really be costing up you more money but we know that trading addiction is something more worth of your money since you could really potentially
make out some money out of it on the time that you do able to get used to it or having a good grasps.

There's no limitation on things that you would really be getting involved since not all would really be that confident or does have the money on doing so.
I would rather stick into trading addiction as long it does benefit me then i dont see any problems.
2057  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Favourite MEME COINS? on: February 09, 2023, 09:59:39 PM

SHIB has gotten attention again because of its Shibarium. The ones who believe in this meme coin actually will get serious about buying more as people did with Doge.

We didn't take Doge seriously back when it was less than a cent and gamblers bet 100K of Doge in dice and continue the martingale system but now, they have become precious. Time to pick one to take it seriously and wait for more than 5 years.
And its trying out to get out with that Meme coin reputation considering that it is already having that real use case which i could say that it wasn't really that bad at all.
As of being a fan of meme coins then i cant really take off my eyes on SHIB which is totally that different if we do speak about Doge and other meme coins in the market.
Somehow we do know on where its been tied up or where it is really that getting that attention when it was just starting. Accumulating for long term
isnt really that a bad idea either.
2058  Economy / Speculation / Re: My fear in fall of Bitcoin. on: February 09, 2023, 08:53:56 PM
For sure when Bitcoin make another all time high, your doubt will have a friend, and that is regret. I can't imagine myself regretting something that I could have done while it's not too late. Risking is a part of success, because that's how you're gonna find out if it's worth it or not. Trying is a part of growing, even if you failed, at least you've tried and learned something from it, rather than living all your life from what if(s).
Yes for sure to succeed in life one must take a risk, that why I have fully involved in to Bitcoin.
If you do want at least having some changes in your life when it comes to finances then of course you would really be needing to have a further step when it comes to taking risk via investment.

You wont be able to progress out when you are just sitting and just watching those opportunities passing by.It is really just that ideal that you should take action although it might be imposing some
risks but its part of investing which you do also have the chance to lose.

So its your take whether you could bare it out or not.It does really vary honestly and falling in price is really just normal i would say.
2059  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: High Roller Tailing on: February 08, 2023, 11:57:12 PM
I have not tried such thing and I don't think I would, even if there were some good results at first, just because some user is a high roller does not mean they are always right. I would rather to be fully in control and have knowledge on where I putting my money.

That is only my personal opinion, of course.
They do have just the money that they could spend up big which its not usual for every time that you do gamble but we know that there are people who do put up huge amount on each bet.

You would really be having thoughts or feelings that they might really be that so sure in regarding into their bet and why they had bet out such huge amount which this is the
common thing that you would really be having in mind on where you do assume out that they are really that sure.

High roller doesnt mean that they are really that right and it is really just that they are really that having the money or deep wallet for them to do so.
2060  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving is Wasting? on: February 08, 2023, 10:57:19 PM
Being a student is so hard nowadays. I've been spending a lot for school requirements and different activities related to education. I'm stuck with this saying "SAVING IS WASTING", thinking that with the little amount of money I have, should I put it on an investment or should I just save it for my future expenses or emergencies. I'm also living in a country in which there are limited side hustles I could do to earn extra for investment, so I'm troubled somehow.

Its not waste of time if you cannot afford to lose it yet since you are still student and yet still learning many things. Maybe its good for you to study first how the market first before testing out the waters since its really bad if you rush things because you could lose everything you have.

So if you are not confident yet better save and also try to learn many things since once you are sure what you are doing then that's the time you can spend your saving on investments.
It is really that understandable that there are people even if they are just still young but already have the plans into their mind on where they could really be that able to earn some income.
Saving isnt wasting but it would be depending on how you would be able to act out or have plans on how you would do it.Its true that being a student or simply you are still dependent
on your parents which there's nothing you can do much when it comes to finances because you arent that earning which means that it is really hard
for you to save up.How much more if you are a breadwinner or simply you are the ones who do make yourself at school or the one who spend on?
