2141  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Tips for newbie to long-term investing on: July 09, 2022, 09:25:35 PM
Hi guys,

After the immense hype up of the crypto industry, I jumped into crypto investing last year along with al lot of the casuals. I spent a couple of hundred bucks but sold just above break even point after the market crash last year. I was forced to because I needed the money to invest into myself to find a good job. Now that I've found a job, I started investing in crypto currency again, and started doing my due diligence.

My goal right know is to accumulate as much crypto as I can, but I'm not sure what the best strategy is considering the current economic factors. The approach I've had over the past couple of months has just been dropping a portion of my salary each month into crypto. But now I'm considering stacking my fiat to buy in on the bottom of this bear cycle which I think is yet to come. Would this be a wise decision? Or should I just keep going with the approach I have now?

EDIT

I would like to thank everyone for their helpful advise so far, I will definitely take each point made into serious consideration. Also from the points made, it lets me now that my mindset is where it should be.

Right know I'm heavily focused on accumulating as much Eth as I can. I'm almost at the goal I've set for myself in terms of how much I'd like to have before investing in another coin, since I've started investing again a short while ago. Next up I'd like to stack some ADA and BTC of course. But I can't help but wonder is accumulating ETH and ADA the right move right now? Or should I be more invested in BTC in terms of potential long-term returns?
If you want to maximize your future profits and start building wealth with this current bear market, then i suggest you should focus in  bitcoin first. It's not all the time that bitcoin price will be in big discount, so always grab the chance while its still very cheap and affordable. When you think you had enough for bitcoin, then start accumulating ETH and ADA too as you wish. But always invest on the amount you can afford to lose, so you won't be force in selling them again when you think you have no fiat anymore to finance you.

Bitcoin price can not keep on increasing,  if Bitcoin price keeps adding values young and the new generation won't have the opportunity to buy bitcoin because it will be much expensive to afford that only the rich people will be the only one to buy bitcoin. The purpose for the bearish market is an opportunity for all level of people to have opportunity to afford bitcoin when it is cheap. It is impossible for bitcoin to experience just the bullish market.
While wise investors always see good opportunities in a bearish market, newbies who lack knowledge and experience become threatened to it and eventually lost their patience. Because they always believe that the crypto market will never go below and will just stay on top so they can make consistent profits. But that's not how the crypto market works. Most likely it turns out like a wheel, sometimes its up, sometimes its down. And those who remain strong in the market when its predicted to become dead are always who made the huge profits in the end and become instantly rich.

Guys, has anyone heard smth about Intelfin Group companies? I read the reviews, it seems fine. They work with crypto. The yield is around 13% per month. Their plans seem to be serious. They even do co-financing. I'm lost whether to try or not. I 'd be grateful for any info. Here's the firm’s link: https://intelfin.io/
Having a returns of 13% per month is already big, and maybe out of 10 companies, lucky if there is even a single company that can achieve that. For me, it seems like you are heading for a red flag and just waiting to be scam. If you really believe in them and want to try your luck, then you can invest just a minimal amount. If you lose, at least you will learn something and would be more careful to choose reliable projects that you will invest next time. Investment is not just all about the profits, but the utility of the project itself that will be able to sustain its profits for long term.

I suppose you can say the same thing about computers and digital banking system since in terms of usage there is no difference between bitcoin and them.

This, and like 99999 other internet services lol. It was described as if bitcoin/crypto is the only sort of "service" that the visually impaired can't easily use.

As for the solution: get a trusted family member to help you, just like how the visually impaired need a helping hand with a lot of other stuff.
That's probably the best solution for that. Voice command is still not proven fully effective unless there is someone who is willing to assist you on that. But if you look for a reliable family member, you will be at ease because aside that your account is safe, you will also be guided on what to do to increase the profits of your investment. That's the essence of having a trusted family member. Even if you are visually impaired, you can still act as normal because you have another reliable eyesight that can be able to sustain your crypto investment.
2145  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Will Be a Failure Even If It Hits $100,000, Says "Black Swan" Author !! on: July 07, 2022, 09:54:49 PM
Bitcoin promoters are betting on an eventual recovery that will vindicate their strength of conviction. However, even if the flagship cryptocurrency manages to surge to as high as $100,000 during another bull market, it will still be a failure, according to Nassim Taleb. 

The famed mathematician explains that the leading cryptocurrency has failed as a hedge against inflation. In fact, it has actually acted with opposite properties.   

As reported by U.Today, Taleb believes that the ongoing cryptocurrency winter may degrade into a full-blown “ice age,” meaning that prices will not recover for a long period of time (if ever).

The “Black Swan” author has also taken aim at “bitidiots” like El Salvador President Nayib Bukele who still claim that Bitcoin is cheap in a recent tweet. The self-proclaimed “world’s coolest dictator” continues to gamble away taxpayer money. Earlier this week, Bukele bought another 80 Bitcoins despite the fact that El Salvador, one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere, had lost more than $50 million because of his ill-timed Bitcoin purchases.

The oppositions of bitcoin will never agree that bitcoin is already successful and is going to be a mainstream, and as bitcoin enthusiasts, we should be aware of that. That is why there's no valid reasons to believe in this mathematician as he never existed in the crypto market when its still in its infancy, and until now that bitcoin has grown and slowly starting to be matured. Even if bitcoin ends up being non valuable in the future, i would not say its a failure because bitcoin has made a lot of big changes in our lives, and we should still be thankful for it.
2146  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: advice for who are witnessing this market for the first time. on: July 07, 2022, 08:40:01 PM
Any advice from those who have been in crypto for a long time for those who are seeing this market for the first time?
Do not panic. The market price fluctuations are just normal because we are currently witnessing a bearish market scenario, and this will only be temporarily. If you want not to fall for losses, then do not sell your coins at a loss. Just stay calm and continue observing the market. Once the market falls for a deeper correction, always be smarter and take advantage to buy a lot of promising coins while the market allows you. Once the market turns into bullish, you can never do these things again.
2147  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Phil Mickelson Opens Up About Losing MILLIONS From Gambling on: July 04, 2022, 09:48:36 PM
Super competitive people like Phil Mickelson and Michael Jordan seem to have a problem when it comes to gambling.  It's like their mind can't comprehend not being able to win at something, so they convince themselves they can win, even though the odds are stacked against them.  I'm sure a lot of the time having huge pockets helps them keep going until they get ahead, until that stops working.  Then they find themselves in a massive hole with no way out.  Luckily, these athletes have a ton of money so they can afford the loss, but most people in this position and with this belief they can win end up losing everything.  I'm glad these athletes are speaking out, because I'm sure they'd all be a lot better off if they never wagered a dime.
Yes, they can clearly afford their losses because somehow they have anticipated it too. But the gambling addiction that has developed more may lead to more unbearable losses in time. That made us realized that gambling will never do good in the long run. However, in this case with these big time celebrities, maybe it could be harder for them to realized that but when they nearly lost everything, that's when they start to discover the fact that they are not gambling to be productive anymore.
2148  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Ryan Garcia vs Javier Fortuna - July 19 on: July 04, 2022, 09:13:38 PM
Actually, this can be a hope, especially for me because it will be very exciting to see Davis, especially for now they have quite a name in their class.
But indeed, if you look at it now, even if it is possible to happen, I think it would be very arrogant if you directly make something like this, but on the other hand, you still have to face a battle that, even though you are superior, does not rule out the possibility that something surprising will happen.
Yep it happened on July 16th at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles which was expected to be packed with 20,000 fans.

He needs to put his mouth into his clubs and impress the fans, if after this fight he made an impressive performance expect to see more noise about the possibilities of his next money fight, though just the same, he needs to win first before expecting another good fight to come, there are things that Garcia needs to establish against Fortuna a good ticket to have a better future career inside this sport.
And that this golden boy needs to prove not only to the audience but to his opponent as well that he is just not on more talks and assumptions, he  needs to beat Fortuna first so he can finally take himself to a higher level. I have seen how Ryan made his last fights and he really has the guts to win in boxing, but with Fortuna around, i think he'll be a loser this time.
2149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Common Types of Bonuses Offered by Online Casinos on: July 04, 2022, 08:29:59 PM
Do you check the types of bonuses offered by an online casino before signing up?
It can be very misleading if bonuses are the first and only thing you consider before signing up for an online casino, you may sign up for a dubious casino even without your knowledge. Some dubious casino's can take advantage and offer very enticing bonus to lure unsuspecting user's who consider bonus first and not credibility and long time record of a casino they are about to sign up for.

As much as bonuses are good, we should avoid following after bonuses blindly.
That's mostly the case as gamblers are more fun of bonuses and free money that makes them more attracted to a certain casino site. But if you take that as your reference to find casinos, and not looking first the credibility and the feedbacks of the players, then it's something that will trigger more scams because you show them the intentions first. You may fall gambling in dubios casinos and get scammed and end up leaving without nothing to gain.
2150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Type of Gambler Am I? on: July 04, 2022, 08:08:21 PM
Well I don't really know the type of gambler that I am but I think I am a casual gambler. I gamble anytime that I like with looking at many factor of whether I have to win by all means. I don't take gambling as too serious because I have other means in which I make money. Gambling is not meant to be taken too seriously because we can lose money anything if we are too greedy or too money conscious. Gambling is supposed to be taken light and not too serious just like as many of us used to see it. Lucky comes to us anything so winning a bet is not always certain.
If you are just to gamble for entertainment purposes only, then most likely you are a casual social gambler, same with most of the gamblers here. Although i'm also not certain as to what kind of gambler i am, but the fact that i never gamble to earn a living and i'm not that greedy to make more profits, maybe i also belong to a casual social gambler. And mostly, i go out with my friends to gamble because for me, that's also part of social recreation.
2151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: July 04, 2022, 07:42:04 PM
As I expected, Mark is going to be the underdog here, several pages ago, there was argument as to why Mark will be the underdog. So I guess crypto sports bookies knows a thing on two on this fighter and put Vargas slight favorite.

But I guess this is a good chance for us to bet with Mark since we are going to support him. Still very good and attractive odds in my opinion.
Doesn't matter for Magsayo if he will be listed as underdog, the outcome will not be based by how the bookies list him. Instead, that will be a good opportunity for us if he's really going to be listed as underdog in our favorite sportsbook but I doubt it for now, I guess he will still be listed as the favorite to win. Well, we will know it soon and maybe next week it will be posted.
Magsayo has earned the trust of audience when he won against Russell but i think fighting with Vargas now may also be a different case. Vargas has quite impressive wons and i think that may trigger the performance of Magsayo in the actual fight. If he will be the underdog this time, i think that alone is a challenge for him to prove what he got in the ring. Either who will be listed as the underdog, what's most important is that who will be the favorite in the actual fight.
2152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inherited gambling on: July 04, 2022, 07:08:07 PM
Gambling can be genetic and passed on to offspring, but I have noticed that females are not addicted as male when it comes to gambling and that gives me doubt about it, or maybe that is how it is in my region, men are most into gambling. Or maybe the gene is more concentrated in men than women.

No one can blame addicts, but any bad deeds done by them can be punished. The more fact we need is that addiction is not good, it can lead to a kind of life someone do not wish for himself, the reason we should use just the amount of money we can afford to lose and nothing more than that.
I can attest to this as my father was also a gambler, that made his son a gambler too. But being an addict to gambling, i think its more on the loss of individual's control, and not because it flows on the genes. And eventually, addiction leads into something more dangerous that can certainly ruin the whole personality of the gambler. That is why we should never gamble for profits, but only for entertainment purposes. 
2153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does bitcoin dump have any impact on gamblers ? on: July 03, 2022, 11:41:40 PM
Gamblers around the world use crypto and bitcoin to play the bets. Do they really care if the bitcoin prices dump hard? I know traders are directly impacted by this dump, and investors are also in panic but what about gamblers. Their motive is to play gamble and they may not be a concerned if the price of bitcoin is declining sharply?
I've been thinking to myself about this question, as I never imagined this situation.
I don't know, maybe yes but maybe not, I believe that each gambler thinks differently about this great devaluation that we are currently having.

I imagine it doesn't affect so much, because there is a great chance that gamblers will still act even with this situation we are currently having.
Gamblers will never be bothered with so much volatility in bitcoin, because they are focused on how to win from their bets and make good profits. But I believe gamblers may also have different views about this and some will most likely to gamble when bitcoin is not experiencing a price correction. Although in the end, gamblers will always find means to gamble and make profits, regardless how bitcoin price is crashed or not.
2154  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To build your Professionalism on casino on: July 03, 2022, 10:46:38 PM
A person needs to think deeply about a few things before starting gambling in online. Adherence to these principles a gambler have more chances of getting success in gambling platform which can make a gambler responsible from the start.

Things to obey:

1. A gambler should gambling as an entertainment, not as a way to make money or the earning source of money.

2. Don't try to bet with your everyday life leading money which is very much needed or can't afford to lose  like billing, rent, food or something like that.

3. You should Understand the potential of the game, embrace it wisely and predict your chances of winning at that particular game.

4. It is more important to read the terms and conditions carefully other wise everything will be invalid.

5. No betting on YouTube reviews or anyone's advice. Prepare yourself to understand the advantage or disadvantage.

6. If you lose your assets then don’t pursue the losses.

I think your success in gambling will definitely visible if you follow the these instructions. Here  you can add your knowledge and experience for the flourishing to this concern.
Everything you have mentioned above are the facts when it comes to gambling. However, always know that losses are still inevitable and even if you apply all these principles, in games where luck is based, you can never tell that you will end up successfully. These may not guarantee a sure profit strategies but one thing is certain, you will start to minimize your losses knowing you only gamble for fun and you only spend money on the amount you can afford to lose.
2155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An alternative to gambling with money. on: July 03, 2022, 10:23:49 PM
The most popular suggestion you can get when trying to quit gambling especially when you are continuously loosing money is mostly that you should just stop gambling itself. This sounds like an almost impossible task for many who are already hooked to it and just hearing that alone is discouraging. A better suggestion and an alternative to quitting gambling completely is to start betting with fake money gambling apps. With FAKE MONEY GAMBLING APPS, you can continue gambling on the app even on live games, but with fake money. So in reality you can maintain the experience you derive from gambling and not loose any money except the fake one in the process.

Although the original idea behind the creation of such apps was to provide a platform were individuals can practice their betting skills without loosing money before actually gambling with real money, i still find it useful to those trying to quit because they keep loosing money.

In Order of user rating and for suggestion sake, some of the best fake money gambling apps according to user experience, core functionality & innovative solution are (please note that some of these apps still offer real gambling services, and if you really want to stop loosing money, you should avoid)

What is your opinion on Fake money gambling apps, do you recognize the potential I think they have to assist in reducing the number of gamblers who loose real money?
It's still a form of gambling that continue to heighten the interest of all gamblers to engage in real life gambling. So for me, it's not helpful at all. The only difference is that you lose but there were no real money involved, it's like a game before where we used to be fond of play money back in our childhood days. However, if one aims to stop gambling addiction, then he should not be involved anymore in all types of gambling games. Instead, making another hobbies that can divert a gambler's interest will always be a good option, but make sure the family is always around to assist the gambler.
2156  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reasons why people avoid KYC in gambling casino ? on: July 03, 2022, 09:58:40 PM
It's been observed that gamblers prefer to play on casino which do not enforce KYC. Well, let's discuss what are the main reasons that they do not want to show their identity and gamble anonymously.

They don't trust the casino as the casino might misuse the kyc documents or the gamblers want to gamble without telling anyone that they are the gamblers,  gambling is illegal in their region or religion and they want to hide their identity or there could be any other solid reason?
Regardless if gambling is illegal or legal in a certain country, a gambler will always seek for privacy maybe because being an anonymous gambler will free you from all sorts of negative accusations from other people, and will always give you freedom to gamble here and everywhere. Also, if you are a jackpot winner, that won't make your life the target of all scammers or criminals. This is why a lot really hated this KYC implementation when gambling.
2157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is for big bag holders on: July 03, 2022, 09:38:00 PM
After this experience I believe gambling is for the big bag holders, if you're in urge of making a win.

Gambling is not only for those people you've said. It depends on luck no matter how much money you have. There are others who only have small amount of money but still able to win a huge prize or even hit the jackpot.

Martingale once again a failed strategy when you don't have big bag of money.

Did you expect that using that strategy is a sure profit? If I have a huge amount of money, that is the strategy I will never use. It's like burying yourself into your own grave everytime you lose.
In gambling, there are no strategies that guarantee sure profit, everything is still played more on luck. However, playing with this martingale strategy may lead you to a loss-averse mentality but it will also be one way to make you lose instantly. So if you have huge amount of bankroll, you may have more chances to win but with a single loss strike, everything you have in your bankroll will be gone instantly. It's even putting yourself at a high risk.
2158  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Enter the market with a loss mindset~what you can afford to lose on: July 02, 2022, 11:26:45 PM
I love this momentum when we all have our equal chance to grab more altcoins that we love or even the main coin which is Bitcoin. When crypto is in the sale like this many people avoid crypto since they really believe to media that tells Bitcoin is dead bla bla bla.. I pity them when they didn't know the risk and didn't know the opportunity behind that risk and only came back when the crypto price on the new ATH.
That’s when most of the people only came to invest because of greed, and that they always believe that the market will always be at its best, and when tough times happen, they eventually turn into weak hands and leave the market. Maybe because they know the risk in crypto but are not willing to take the risk because they lack the faith in crypto.
2159  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin has reached a point of no return on: July 02, 2022, 09:40:53 PM
I believe Bitcoin reached the point of no return in that sense when it recovered from the 2018 fall of the price. Many thought Bitcoin would never reach $20k again, and it's been years before it did, but it happened and, as we know, the new ATH was established. I don't think that it's reasonable to believe that Bitcoin will die after it recovered from that situation, unless something very serious (like WW3 or breakthrough in quantum computing) happens. The last years have shown that things most aren't waiting for and that haven't happened for decades can actually happen, so who knows, but until then, Bitcoin is likely to stay afloat and continue growing long-term.
Despite of the uncertainties pertaining to bitcoin, one thing is certain is that bitcoin price will drop even at its worst but will always recover in time, some only take months but maybe this time, maybe a year before the bearish market is finally over. So there's no reason to believe that bitcoin will collapse and end up dying, because history always carries the truth. But because its always highly volatile and unpredictable, people who lacks the faith will never stop from doubting. 
2160  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Looking for a crypto that won't depend on BTC anymore on: July 02, 2022, 09:17:20 PM
The majority of investors and traders are increasingly understanding crypto fundamentals before investing, is there any crypto that moves itself according to its fundamentals both now and in the future?
If you want to invest in an asset which is not influenced by bitcoin then you need to look at other markets because that is not something that you are going to find here, think about it, the market dominance of bitcoin is above 41%, and those are the official numbers, I would not be surprised that if we excluded centralized coins, stable coins and the fake market cap of many coins this number easily reached 70% or more.

This means that whenever bitcoin makes a move the rest of the coins move with it simply because bitcoin is that big, so if this is a situation you cannot tolerate any longer then it is better for you to look for assets in other markets in which you will be interested to invest.
The whole crypto market is dominated with bitcoin, given that fact, it's hard to invest in such coins wherein bitcoin's position will not influenced it. Although stablecoins are always free from the manipulation of bitcoin, and they remain stable despite of the market volatility, but investing in it do not guarantee risk-free. So apparently, your choice will always reflect your amount of returns. Otherwise, don't invest in the crypto market if you want to stick for coins that don't have bitcoin significance.
