2121  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Still haven't sold a bit of BTC since 2013... if I can do it you can do it too! on: January 27, 2022, 10:37:31 PM
Hi everyone, it's been awhile, just wanted to tell you that I still haven't sold a bit of BTC since 2013... if I can do it you can do it too!

Some of you may say it's a dumb decision or risky, but I'm all for BTC and positive about it. To the Moon!

It seems to me that you either A) Don't have a big holding of Bitcoin or B) You have a privileged enough lifestyle that your Bitcoin holdings are relatively insignificant within your overall asset portfolio. You certainly passed up on the opportunity to sell at all time high, or even in the $50-60k range which held for quite some time. If Bitcoin did make up a bit portion of your wealth, which is highly unlikely considering your flippant approach, then you have wasted a lot of opportunity. Diversification is a solid strategy and what the richest people in the world do to maintain their wealth levels. Periodic rebalancing and taking sensible profits while the opportunities are their make a good invester, rather than someone bragging that they left a lot of money on the table.
More likely, OP has a gold spoon on his table and he's lucky enough not to experience financial problems that almost all of us are struggling to survive. But on the other hand, i can sense that he's posting this just to inspire others to do as well, not really on bragging himself. One thing is certain, he can make more profits if he was able to sell them in the previous bull run and buy back again at this bearish season. That way, there is always a progress on his current income.
Well thats reality on which there are people who are really on that state on which it isnt really needed for them to sell since they do have other source of income on which they could really sustain theirselves without

the need on selling out their investment which is good but for those people who do mainly relies on their crypto investment then it cant really be avoided on where you would definitely actively made out these
kind of decisions.

Good for those who do have diamond hands but if you do really able to sell into those ATH's then it is a good decision if you do ask me.
2122  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: January 27, 2022, 09:59:22 PM
Well, let's wait for the result of this fight, if Casimero will successfully defend his title, then the next fight might be a unification fight. For a champion like Casimero, the promoter should not be messing with his career as they can make a lot of money from him as long as they give him a big fight, and no bigger fights in this division than Inoue or Donaire.

Yes exactly for now let's wait for the result of Casimero vs. Butler and hopefully he win despite of the fact that up until now there's not yet an announcement of schedule for that fight since it was been rescheduled because of the failure of Casimero to met the weigh-in due to health issue. And if ever Casimero win this fight I am also one of the vivid fan of Casimero vs. Inoue upcoming fight if ever get scheduled and also if ever the camp or team of Inoue accept the said proposal of the fight.

We have no choice but to wait for the result, unfortunately, we cannot just speculate here since they have not announce the date of the fight yet, but I hope it's gonna happen this year so we don't have to wait longer and the Inoue vs Casimero fight are going to take place on the same year.
The delay is already long and still no final date? Why take so long? Or Casimero still need more time to heal his injury since we all know playing with injury is too risky. Let’s be more patient, and just be ready to place your bet since many are waiting for this match up, let’s hope for more good fights this year.
There were no words in regarding on this one whether Casimero is still on the state of healing or recovery on that health issue he does have or simply there are no arrangements been set yet?

There are already lots of good fights in line which the fans are really itching for it to be watched or to happen but this pandemic situation do really make things messed up and we dont have
any options to take but to wait up on when these fights would be finalized.

For now then there's no thing we can do but to wait up.

Money has an important role in life, just like people who are in love and keep saying that love is everything and will live with love but when slowly love is destroyed just because of a difficult economy Grin, I think it's like someone who says happiness don't  have to always has to be with money, but in fact we will be able to get a lot of happiness with money so far, the true meaning of happiness is that we don't lack anything in our lives and the only way to fulfill that is with have money.
 I will not be a hypocrite if I say that money is an important thing in getting happiness, if anyone says without money you can live happily, in my opinion it is a lie and a form of despair for that person.
Very important role in life because you wont really survive in the first place if you dont have money to spent considering that all you do need like food,shelter and clothing is the most basic needs which you do really need

to buy on so that you would really survive and able to live with.The rest would be talking about wants which neither talks about car and other material possessions which could give out that comfortable life of yours.

Im not saying its the real thing but it cant really be denied that money is indeed almost everything except from time,love and respect which something cant be bought out by money no matter
how rich you are.
2124  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Buy low, Sell high? on: January 27, 2022, 07:29:45 PM
People think that if a coin does 2x and I invest only 50 bucks, then I would get 100 in return, but if I invest ALL of the 1k then I would get 1k more in return and that is why they invest all they have.
Some people do not do what they preach, you would see them saying that you should buy low and sell high, but once the market dips a little, they start doing the opposite, which is running from it. If you’re not going to be buying low at a time that the market is going through a bearish turn, then when would you have the opportunity to buy low again? They all just like to FOMO, once they start hearing news about Bitcoin and other coins getting bullish , they would start coming back, and some of them would be ending in losing all their funds because of this.
You wouldnt know on whats happening behind because not all would really be doing on what would they say but of course it would really be just natural since this market does have that unpredictable aspect which it cant

really be avoided on committing such loss despite on being experienced or veteran ones.It is really just a matter on how you do end up on being profitable in the end of the day despite of those losses which does really matter the most.
Buy low Sell high sounds really very basic but once you are on the market personally and tending to make out some buying decision then pretty much sure that you would really be boggling up your mind if its
the right time to buy or wait a little bit more for the price to dip so that you could maximize it out.
2125  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: January 26, 2022, 11:25:12 PM
^^ I think it boils down as to what Bob Arum will advise Inoue here.

If Uncle Bob says "fight Donaire first, the chances are very high since you already beat him. Let Casimero fight other boxers, and be damage before you fight him."

So this could be the likely scenario even if Casimero wins his bout against Butler.
Possibly.
It's always Arum that gets the job done and whatever he says, that's the final and these boxers have nothing to say but just to obey what does the boss says.
Promoters would be always have the final say when arranging things and its true that boxers would just simply follow or obey on what are those words do come out from his mouth.Arum would definitely find and set the fights accordingly and as long it could really give out revenue the most.Whether he do following on the hype or demand directly or would just make things to happen a little bit further or delayed.
2126  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does Hold is Gold on: January 26, 2022, 10:49:26 PM
I Holded Doge for almost 6 months it doesn’t rise as much was expected,i shift to c98 it’s also on downfall ,cause the father of all the coins BTC is also in dip ,now i am on hold of the c98 and expecting for its Shine,i think luck matters alot in trading not only Good knowledge.
If you do always have that kind of mindset then this market could really fucked you up even though it does really require some sort of luck when it comes to increase but what matter here is the potential even though the duration or times on when it would pump would be always unknown which you should really be changing that kind of impression.

Hold is gold but only into those project or coins which does have potential. which one? then it would vary into your own research.
2127  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling In Crypto on: January 26, 2022, 10:22:37 PM
I think that gambling with crypto is much better than with FIAT,you are not required to post any identity unless you hit a really big win and only then you may undergo verification of KYC (Know Your Customer).I think if you are not a whale,a normal gambler by gambling with crypto it is much better and safer as no one will know who you are not even the casino you are playing at.That is the major difference other than that they are pretty much identical,you risk your money in order to win more money.
Of course, crypto gambling allows us to maintain privacy without having to provide any identity to the sites we use (except email). We may also select sites that do not require winners to go through KYC to withdraw their money from the site. As for KYS, I'm not so sure gambling whales would be willing to give their identities to the site and this would be done by other normal gamblers as well.

The site reserves the right to request KYC from its gambler in certain cases. I'm not sure big wins are the reason why sites require KYC, usually because the user violated the ToS or some other violation.

The site may ask to go through KYC if your funds are linked to dirty wallets that are involved in illegal activities. You can get such funds through a P2P exchanger and not even know about it. So even if you buy cryptocurrencies with legal funds you should always be ready that the casino can ask you to confirm your identity at any moment.
Possible but in most rare cases because most gambling sites wont able to monitor out every single user in the platform on which they do able to see those vioation or lapses but to think that once you do get caught then for sure you would experience problems.

Its been years that possible KYC could really be asked out if there are malicious or shady activity that a user had able to commit with.So expect that odds of being on that situation could really be that high.
2128  Economy / Economics / Re: Buy Crypto Or Have Fun Staying Poor! on: January 26, 2022, 12:15:20 AM
let me tell you a little story; 2 days ago I read the status of my Facebook friend who mocked about the current dip market and said that those who are in crypto are dreamers. After I asked him what his job was and did he know what bitcoin was, he replied that he was only a debt collector and had never bought Bitcoin.

from what I have experienced it can be concluded that those who have never bought Bitcoin will forever be in their poverty, their knowledge will always be shallow and the future is uncertain they will experience because from the start they did not have confidence in the potential of Bitcoin.

It's sad to see people who have never invested in crypto, then say something bad about crypto. Such a person will not be a successful person,
because they think negatively on something that might give them a chance to improve their economy. Therefore, the number of poor people in this
world is more than the rich, because only people who can be open-minded and willing to learn new things will become rich people in the future.
So don't underestimate crypto, let alone to hate crypto. Due to the fact that crypto has made a lot of people rich, but don't get me wrong,
crypto doesn't make people rich instantly. Still, it takes hard work and a fairly long process, so that we can become rich from cryptocurrency.


Just let those negative people do stick out into their principles and mindset and sooner or later they would really be regretting on what they had missed out.This isnt something talks about shitty things online

No one really likes on being poor but you couldnt really enhance yourself if you wouldnt really take risks on making crypto investment and no one really likes on being poor but there are really things in life
which you couldnt really able to bare out.

2129  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Thurman vs Barrios - Feb 5 on: January 25, 2022, 10:58:11 PM
^^ No doubt that Barrios believes in himself that he can beat Thurman, that's why he chooses Keith to be his next fight in his first attempt at 147 lbs. And he should be preparing hard because he knows that this is a very difficult fight for him. And upsets can happen in boxing, as we can see recently, Magsayo beat the reigning champion in 126 lbs in Russell via a decision. So we will see if he has what it takes to pull another upset for this year.
That was a good win by Magsayo, and yes I believe in upset as I bet on Magsayo on that fight with Rusell. well, in this fight, I'm with the favorite here as I'm a fan of Thurman and I believe he can teach Barrios a lesson on how to be clever in boxing. This is going to be his come back to fight, I'm sure Thurman would also not gonna take this fight lightly.
Yes you are right and the big win for magsayo even if not by KO at least he win and the style was effective the,  in and out with one-two combinations are effective against Russell but I was amazed by Russell cause his stamina is very strong and the bode was full of energy until the end of the fight. Back to this fight we all thurman is one of the best boxer in his division and I am assure than he can win this fight against barrios. This fight ill bet Thurman.
I would be betting on Thurman on here and when it comes to technicality on how they would fight then Thurman does have the lead.Yes, barrios could really possibly pull out some upset on this one but it wont be easy.

Try to look on past fights of Thurman which this one is really hard to beat up and when it comes to stamina then guy do have it and even he stopped for a while or doesnt have fight but doesnt mean that
he already forgotten how to box. LOL!  Cheesy

He shouldnt take Barrios lightly though yet upsets could really be just in the corner.
2130  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What did you learn about crypto trading? on: January 25, 2022, 09:55:20 PM
What I have learned is that one should not be angry or blame himself over you not being able to hold till date because what ever you might have used the money for as at then way for a purpose. Let the past be the past and forget the formal trading decision you have made and just make an informed trading decision now that you have learned a lesson from the past.

 Some will learn from their mistakes while trading, but some will still find it difficult when there is no one else beside them who can give a warning that in crypto things can happen without us predicting.
And that was why I do mention it to some people who care to that trading crypto currency is not main for everyone just because you are looking for money via trading for I strongly believe that there are other things that people who are not good in trading can do and be making money more than crypto currency traders. Identify what you are good at and stop waisting your money in trading crypto currency is my message for those struggling with trading.
This is why you should be considerate on whats your passion because you wouldnt really be that much effective into something which doesnt really interest you thats why you should be mindful if this one is really your liking to do or just been hyped or been influenced by someones.
When it comes to learning then it would be neither following someone but its not recommendable and nothing beats out if you do able to learn for yourself without relying on someone.
Come to think that all of sources you do need can really be found on the net which means it would really be just needing some sort of effort and time for you to deal with.
2131  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do people overestimate BTC? on: January 25, 2022, 08:53:29 PM
There has been a lot of talk about this a few days ago and it was thought that we might enter a new bull market in early 2022 but the current situation is far from it. However, if we review the past and present of BTC, it is not so difficult for 100K rising. I think since BTC dropped below 40K the chances have increased a lot. Maybe this year we will be able to enter the big bull market.
We couldnt really have everything because even how high the price could be then expecting something on beyond prices then this cant happen immediately thats why getting fomo'ed kind of emotion is really very common on this market on where you do really believe that it would be a smooth sail ride without even thinking about corrections and dips of prices which did really happen recently.
Mind off about those random ups and down and take advantage with those movements and make out profits with it even though its hard but it could really be done.
It is really just a matter of own realistic perception towards this market whether you do deal with it or ignore simply.

Your knowledge beyond this market value that much. The action that you will going to take will reflect to the outcome of your investment. To those who believes that they can continue benefiting even with these corrections will buy and take their chance to profits, while with those who don't know what they are doing inside this market will suffer and lose their money.

You have to pick your side and learn to adjust to every situation that you are seeing around,

Choosing your path will drive your investment, if you know deeper the chance is better.. Roll Eyes Wink
This is why you should really need to take risks and move according to your goals and targets because you wouldnt really able to achieve something if you dont really persevere on reaching into something.

Of course you would really be needing that kind of knowledge and experience for you to sustain on this market even though its hard but doesnt mean that it is impossible for you to do so.

You are the ones who do make your own path to your own future and if you dont make out some movement then you arent that progressing or achieving something.
2132  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: little knowledge about gambling - before I knowing bitcointalk.org forum on: January 25, 2022, 07:30:31 PM
As we know that Gambling offers players the chance to pocket a lot of money, but it can also lead to significant monetary losses (which we all had). Even though I'm new to this forum, but I want to share a little experience related to gambling on various online sites. While you may hear it often, here's a snippet:
1. Know when is the right time to stop playing.
2. Set limits and monitor your money.
3. Safeguard your budget.
The best gamblers I know are constantly vigilant and always evaluate the balance between losses and gains.
And The best advice I could give to someone who wants to start gambling is probably to never start gambling to win. It's definitely the worst approach that in the long run leads to the financial ruin of any novice gambler.

Considering about on how many similar threads to this one then it is really just the basics yet if you do really treat up gambling on that way then you would be easily fucked up.
Dont play for money but rather focus out on entertainment because if you do really let yourself fall into addiction due to greed then you would really be finding some problems
later on.

Be wary on your actions because it wasnt intended to make you rich but rather this serves as purpose for entertainment or enjoyment and not a source of income.
Once you do have this mindset then you wouldnt really be putting yourself in harm.

Yep, it's a wonderful feeling. I've started earning bitcoin (long ago) with translations, hence you, with apps, are already at a higher level.
Well done and keep it up!
Not all would really be starting on having that kind of skills thats why he do really have that advantage which he could really monetize if he use it on proper way.
Having this skill cant be acquired in short time thats why he had that skills which is more than in most people here on the market.You could really make
tons if you do know on what you are doing.
2134  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin is for everyone but not everyone will be for Bitcoin on: January 24, 2022, 10:55:16 PM
It's no longer our problem if those people that knows bitcoin and cryptocurrencies can't avail to invest. We cannot also push them hardly if they barely survive just to put food in their tables. I know it's quite of a situation but we've been there. We can make things work if we're too focused and inspired by the problem that we're experiencing. All of us have 24 hours, and it's all on them how they're going to spend those hours they've got wisely and monetize it and as they earn, that's what they can use to invest in bitcoin.
Its a personal choice whether we do dig deeper into crypto space or wouldnt really make out any actions at all.Someones success will really vary on how hardly you do put up some effort.

Not everyone would really be having that kind of mindset because there are some who do work and some who do ignore and of course it would really be obvious on whose the one would
able to get that kind of opportunity to make profits out of their investment.

So it will depend on someones engagement and effort that do made.
2135  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the most important features of an online crypto casino? on: January 24, 2022, 10:13:07 PM
^

The main thing is that a newcomer in the pursuit of welcome bonuses should approach the choice of a gambling site with a cool head and find time to get acquainted with the TOS. Practice shows that not many people do so, and when there are all sorts of misunderstandings from newcomers, they try to accuse the casino of fraud, although most disputes can be avoided if you know the rights and obligations of casino users.
Wont really be that much effective even if they would really make out those claims because the community arent blind and not dumb on not to know on what are those common terms and conditions mostly been applied on bonuses and and perks thats why it would be somewhat useless on that kind of situation.Its just a norm that you would really need to follow some sort of rules and conditions to be eligible but if not then
expect that you wouldnt really be qualified.

Fairness is what we do think matter the most and this is where reputation could be built up.
2136  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Buy low, Sell high? on: January 24, 2022, 09:34:18 PM
It's hard to decide our personal entry price, but we can do some analysis to decide that. If the price keeps falling then just put more money until you dont have any cold money that you can use for investment so just wait for something big to happen. There's no guarantee that the price will get it's ATH next year or even this year the thing that we can do is just believe the price will reach a new ATH someday.   
Some of the analysis done will indeed help to where our limit is to buy, but it all depends on the market, if the decline continues and BTC support continues to be broken, then the $30k price area will be able to be passed.
at this time if you have a lot of spare money will be very useful and can buy at a cheaper price. Yet some of us have already put all the cold cash on some altcoins that are experiencing major declines. Reaching new ATH or not this year we can only wait for the bear market to end.
The market could fucked up any analysis that you would do in the market neither technical or fundamentals which you couldnt really give out some assurances that you could really buy on the bottom
or able to determine it but somehow if you do set out those kind of analysis you could really have the advantage compared into those people who doesnt make something in terms of analysis.
Yes, the market is unpredictable but doesnt mean that you should set your mind like as a gambler since its not really that recommended to be done.
2137  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can I control my gambling addiction ?? on: January 24, 2022, 08:46:47 PM
Once a victim is addicted to gambling such cannot breakout of it easily by once self. An easy way out is   to confide  in a close relative or someone or a registered agency assigned to handle gambling addiction. You could possibly visit a a physiatrist. You also need to build strong discipline with your finance if it's a difficult task then avoid handling your funds your self
Before you do reach out those people then the most sensible first thing to be done is to help yourself first because this would be the absolute solution if you do ask me on which you should help out yourself
before anything else.

You could really stop that addiction if you are really serious on quitting on it and wont tend to engage out and have that proper discipline and control.Even though this might sound simple
but this is the hardest thing at all and if you do find out that it isnt working then thats the time you do really find or seek out some help.
2138  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Man lost everything to Crypto on: January 21, 2022, 09:55:25 PM
Not quite understanding what's the purpose of the whole article is, apart from gathering a few clicks. Anything that can become an addiction is harmful, especially if it has to do with money. Trading is a form of gambling, it's unpredictable, I wouldn't blame anyone but myself if I was in his shoes. I do understand him, though, the anxiety it caused me was tremendous, I wouldn't do it ever again.
When it comes to emotional damage on which things could really affect you then it is possible specially if this one dealing off with money which it is really understandable on how people do really reacts nor

would really do in terms on the moment they had lost money.Addiction on something doesnt really give out something good but rather goes the opposite.If you arent that prepared in terms of

losing money then any forms of investment shouldnt really fit you out and its better to avoid it rather than coming into this point.

El Salvador must be quaking in its boots right now.

I think that even though buying BTC was a great idea, they shouldn't have went in so heavily so quickly.

When the music stops, they will be left with a difficult proposition of holding a bag with public funded money and an average buy price of around $40-50k. Definitely not the position you want to be in as the president.
Im actually mind on whats on the mind of El Salvadors president as of this moment on where the price is really declining and considering  their buying point then you would surely freak out
on what would be the things you would need to do into these declining market and to think off that this had been the risks that we've been talking on the time that they are still
making out some decision whether they would make it as a legal tender or not and now they are indeed facing that risks or problem.

Since Provably Fair wasnt available then i had chosen up about Bonuses and offer which this had been mainly one of the things where people do usually hooked up.

With those qualities above then it should really be standard for a casino to have yet building out reputation isnt something simple if people wouldnt
really see off these qualities from fairness to instant withdrawals and good support then surely it would really be significant on having
these things.
