Those who've seen previous bear markets, survived several winters, please share some hope and courage.
This is not the end, right?
When people were speculating about bottoming out around $10k levels, bitcoin never stayed below $15k levels for days which is the simple confirmation that we are having 'enough' supporters to prevent further falling. So, you can assume that the current bearish trend is just part of cycle bitcoin market which will end soon and the bulls will come to action very soon.

In 2014 and in 2018, we had experiences similar year long downfall market conditions and you must be aware of where we hit in 2021 among pandemic and slow economic situations (you can assume about same scenario for normal world economy). So, current trend is temporary and will pass on soon. If you have funds, buy the dips and hold tight.
2182  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Anyone out there doing money by trading? How? on: January 03, 2023, 08:23:52 PM
Professional traders know how to diversify their money, they are not doing pure trades most of them play longer and that's why they succeed because they already master their strategy and control their emotion right. I have a friend who are fully dependent to trading, he's still single so he can still afford to take such risk and I think this will also depend on your status in life. Trading in long term is not that profitable because of many reason, investors says trading is not profitable because you are selling good coins early instead of holding it, while trader says its profitable because they are able to meet their goal for the whole month. Profit will always depend on how you see it, so better to know your goal first.
Professional traders do this for a living and have a good amount of capital to wait it out if they ever do something wrong for a short period of time. Look at wall street and you will know what I mean, those people do not end up investing into things for just a day, and if they do daily trades which some of them do, they do not do it based on small mistakes that could become huge and bankrupt them, even the biggest ever 2008 didn't crash them, all of the continue.

So that means the best thing we could ever do would be having a big capital to be a great trader, if that is not available to us then we shouldn't really have hopes about such things at all.
2183  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are your thoughts on revenge trading? on: January 03, 2023, 07:18:11 PM
I have never heard of anything Regarding Revenge trading. I have seen that some people who use a lot of High leverage end up using blowing off their accounts. And that ahs been happened to me 2 times in almost 2 years. And I ended up loosing so much money that I saved.
Yeah, leverage trading is high risky one and what OP is demonstrating here is revenge which is different from leverage still risk-wise same. I mean revenge is kind of chasing your losses like trying for quick recovery without proper preparation. In trading we should not rush to open trade regardless of a fresh trade or a trade for recovering losses. If we open a trade after proper analysis then there will be no room for revenge.

If you lost money on one trade, considering it to be a spot trade, you defenitely have a chance of getting it back but it will cost time.
Lack of patience lead to losses even in spot trading. Rushing to make profits leads to losses and lands into recovery phase where the actual 'revenge' starts.
2184  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Most newbies don't know this on: January 03, 2023, 06:24:04 PM
Whatever you are doing, you should really protect your private keys at all cost because if you didn’t protect it, expect that hackers can easily get your hard earned money and your crypto. Multi-wallet in Trustwallet gives you another keys though every time you create one, you just have to understand it to avoid any confusion like this.
It's true that it's very important to protect private keys and I don't think anyone should ever know about that unless you really trust someone,
besides that we also have to be vigilant because hackers are getting smarter and have new ways
It's not even easy to protect it on your pc anymore, and even hardware wallets are attacked, even if they can't take it from you by force or hacking, they will use social hacking and make a project that looks real and potentially something that can make you rich, get you to invest and steal all the money and this is done daily, so you have to be always on the look out.

Simple solution is to buy strong and trusted coins and not invest into anything else and put it on your ledger and just take it out of your pc, put it somewhere safe in your room and hide it. If you do this, you are 100% protected, but everything else you do will make it harder.
2185  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The best altcoin to look out for on: January 03, 2023, 03:52:52 PM
As a new trader I would like to know from our experts, the altcoins with good potentials in this 2023.
One simple trick, you must need to consider is, look at the coins/tokens which are backed by some real work usage. Elon is pumping dogecoins by hyping it with news of accepting dogecoins for his ventures. So, it is backed some real world usage.

Another example is, exchange tokens are backed by discount offers by same exchanges. We can trade them with the confident of continuous demand. So, instead of depending on only technical analysis, if you go along with fundamental things as well then your chances for enjoying consistent profits will be better than technical only based traders. Plan up and enjoy!
I think he doesn't really hype it with real working usage at all. I understand that some people expect him to do it, but he won't do it. The only thing he could ever possibly do would be "you can buy twitter tick with doge as well" and that is not really a working usage, I can do that with fiat too, it is just adoption and not utility.

Utility is like how you use ETH for all the erc20 token movements and you need to spend that ETH so you need to buy it which creates a buying pressure and because of all the nft+defi+dex type of period we have seen ETH do a big ATH, since everyone bought it. That is a real utility and doge has nothing close to that and will never have one.
2186  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty hunters, how much you really earned in the last two years? on: January 02, 2023, 08:24:42 PM
I open bounty forums every day, but I don't think I can start, I don't know how to choose the right one. I have very little experience and am still learning. I hope that the projects I find can last for a long time. See everyone discussing that the bounty campaign was the peak six or seven years ago...
You can do any campaign you want. There are not so many bounty campaign right now to be extra selective. Only few new campaign appear every day, so test your luck with each and every of them.
Just plain numbers - I have earned few hundreds during 2022, but I was selective and probably participated in 15 or 20 campaigns only. I have earned several thousands in 2021, but I think I took part in 50+ social media campaigns. In 2023 - you should join every single bounty to get any significant result.
The difference between 2021 and 2022 is clear to everyone, this year has been shitty for me and I haven't made much, hundreds as a total for contributing to maybe two dozen different ones, back in the day I would make hundreds from each I contributed and right now it is not like that at all.

I believe that the best thing to do about the current situation is just to focus on how we could fix these things, and how we could just participate in crypto as a way to make money by working, and if they do not pay us well then we should not participate at all and when they see this, they will have to offer more or just don't do it, we would at least save our efforts.
2187  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price, January. $20000 or above possible? on: January 02, 2023, 06:35:31 PM

Will bitcoin price increase in January?
Is bitcoin getting back to $20000 in January or not?
I can see that not all investors, especially those who have lost their money in the FTX scam exchange have moved on and forgotten about it. They are still in the recovery stage and this could be one factor that holds them to invest for now due to continuous decline after a huge surprise. I can't make myself not lose hope but as the current situation remains like this ( low demand), I would say reaching $20k this month is quite impossible. But of course, I won't say it never happens, yet we just need more time and maybe this will happen before the 1st quarter end.
I think no matter how much they focus on it, eventually they will have to move away from it one way or another. I get that they might still be in recovery mode, and some maybe not even recover ever because they lost a lot, this is billions we are talking about after all so there will be a lot of people who will be forever gone but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with such a big drop neither, it is going to be not matter.

I personally feel like those are not the people we are looking at, we are looking at something like having a good amount of approach from the big hedge funds and so forth, if they do that then they can start the bull run for sure.
2188  Economy / Speculation / Re: 2023 Bitcoin can take a position discussion. on: January 02, 2023, 05:51:22 PM
How to put this in simple words? I think we should leave bitcoin on it's own.
(.....)
This is how it must be, but the market is being the market. No one is an excuse. The best thing here that Bitcoin is still running, even how much percentage Bitcoin already lost from its peak, Bitcoin is still here even though there are a lot of centralized exchanges that are already shutting down. That's what I can see, it means people still trust Bitcoin.
The "discussions" are the reason why we are not entirely sure what's going to happen. If we would just buy and hold and leave, then when we come back we could find it doing great as well but because we do not want to and we end up with making some mistakes along the way because we keep staying on top of it, that causes a lot of trouble.

I believe that the best thing to do right now would be staying away discussing bitcoin prices, it is not going to impact the price just because we talked about it so what's the point on investing AND talking about it. Just get some, then go watch some movies, eventually it will get better one day and then you can sell.
2189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: January 01, 2023, 10:49:23 AM
India is obviously not going to create any problems by themselves. They are going to always try to stay on the neutral ground by themselves. So as far as I understand if they do something like opposing the Afghan players trying to play in the IPL it is going to cause some problems between the Indian government and the current Afghan government. Because I believe the Afghan players playing in the IPL are going to bring in money for Afghanistan as a country and also the cricket of Afghanistan is going to improve. But the Taliban are not going to like the idea of players not being able to play in the IPL. And India suddenly does not want that right now because they have a lot of their own problems to fix.
But, what will happen is also surely unpredictable because things are changing very quickly in world so many decisions are making mess up like we have in this case as well but most chances things could be improved in near future with Taliban are looking for support which is not coming as they are doing things but as we all now situation is changing in neighbouring country Pakistan hopefully things could be beneficial for India in Afghanistan as well.

India is big country, and now they have ability to lead in Asia as well which is important for the balance of power China is taking few benefits but most chances things could be changed for India as well in Afghanistan, and they will be able to play their positive role in This region which will increase their strategic partnership in Afghanistan, and they will again play their sports in India as well with most chances we will have cricket and soccer in near future.
2190  Economy / Economics / Re: Save your environmental economic cycle on: December 31, 2022, 01:15:34 PM
Okay, maybe most people complain about conventional stores because the prices offered are higher than the prices offered by online stores, it's natural for you to be in a situation like now, economic turmoil occurred in various industrial sectors and was accompanied by inflation. definitely looking for the best price to save money in the current circumstances.
After I read the book a few days ago, it turned out that it is normal for a business to be disrupted by new innovations and if for business people to be unable to balance or adapt to changing times.
The weird thing about where I live is that online stores have higher price in our culture because it means they are providing an extra service. Yes I know that if you go to a store and buy something, the store would have to pay rent and salaries and bills etc etc, whereas if it's just a warehouse, it's cheaper because instead of 20 stores and 200 workers, they could have 1 warehouse and 10 workers and they could reach out to everyone.

However, they are saying between shipping and providing you with sizes (if you buy a clothing and it's too small, you can send it back and get a bigger size) and you not being needed to leave your house and all, these are all extra services instead of you leaving house and going to a store and trying and buying and coming back, so they charge higher for online stores.
2191  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: It Is Possible To Invest In Crypto Currency Without Buying Any Coins. on: December 31, 2022, 09:48:33 AM
But if I would ask you why do you want to go through that rough methods to acquire crypto related stocks instead buying directly?
Do you know is very risky involving yourself to such investment and what could be your aim of doing that after knowing the real deal with bitcoin itself. When it comes of investment it doesn't implies any difficulty rather you talking precautions on the kinds of investment you venture into, for instance, you can have direct access to buy bitcoin from any exchange or p2p and moved it directly to a safe and secure wallet which you think is more reliable and accessible to you than any exchanges or any other means which you ever think of. From the current trends and happening also note that any platform you don't have control over your funds doesn't really belong to you.
There are some people who are used to doing unorthodox methods to make money because they think that in this world you need to think outside of the box to make money. In reality just investing 10% of your salary into bitcoin and keep doing that every time you get a paycheck, then when you have 20% of the money ready, go buy a house and pay 20% downpayment and 80% of it would be loans, and keep doing the same thing, save 10% of your salary and put it on bitcoin, and pay the loan back with the rent, and if its anything more than you could cut down on your expenses.

When you are ready get another house with 20% down payment if bitcoin is up, and then 80% loan, if you want you can refinance both and get a third one as well. This would put a lot of debt on you, but you would have 3 houses to rent out so that should help you a lot. If you can push through like this in life, by 50-60 years old, you should be a big landlord.
2192  Economy / Economics / Re: The fight over electric car batteries on: December 30, 2022, 09:06:55 PM
I was also having the same thoughts. Many countries will not be able to implement the electric cars for their people. One major factor that can impact the adoption of EVs is the availability and cost of electricity. In some developing countries, the electricity grid may not be as reliable or widespread as it is in developed countries, which can make it difficult for people to charge their EVs. The cost of electricity in some developing countries may be higher than it is in developed countries, which can make it more expensive to operate an EV.
But only time will tell.
That is not true, if you have ever used electrical appliances with rechargeable batteries, although our capacity is weaker than other devices, their energy consumption is much more economical, 1 kW of electricity is still cheap much more than a liter of gasoline. The problem that makes electric cars still not popular is that the price of each product is still very high, and not suitable for many people's pockets.

In the short term, using electric cars is very fuel efficient, but in the long run, I am concerned about environmental pollution because the disposal of expired batteries is a matter of concern.
It is true that this will create a trouble, but even scarier thing is that if we do not care about it. Look at the plastics in our ocean, basically every fish you eat has a small amount of plastic in it, doesn't matter how microscopic it is there is some in them.

Because ocean is filled with plastic. Do we do something about it? This is hurting the world, and the world is heating up, there is a ton of pollution, are we doing something about it? No. So, it is not scary to think there is a trouble with battery waste, there is a scare about the fact that battery waste will not be cared about at all, and that is seriously scary and I do not know what will happen.
2193  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Advantage of accepting bitcoin in business on: December 30, 2022, 07:46:49 PM
Adoption is taking place almost everywhere, but regulatory bodies are having stricter stance on crypto after what happened with LUNA, UST and FTX investors. However, for small, medium and large scale businesses, accepting crypto when it is in bearish mode is still a great idea because it will give good profits later when bull run begins and it is also a technology that needs to be embraced by different industries to take advantage of the same. Let them know what is Blockchain, they will undoubtedly ask for more of it and that's when you may discuss Bitcoin and crypto with them and tell them about its advantages - security, immutable, store of value for their money, etc.
That is not a bad thing if you ask me. Some people think that having a lot of regulations would be crippling bitcoin but it is actually increasing the potential of it without people realizing. There is a lower high cap for bitcoin without regulation, and while short term it could go lower, there is a high high cap for bitcoin when there is regulation.

Think about it this way, if there are no regulations then you won't see companies like google, amazon, tesla, microsoft and trillions of dollars worth banking world all go into crypto, why would they invest into something with no regulations? But, if there are regulations they could all get in and make bitcoin go up super high.
2194  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We have been told: Invest only Extra money in bitcoin on: December 30, 2022, 07:10:22 PM
I wonder how many people instead have the belief in Bitcoin and are buying by making
cuts elsewhere while not having the disposable income they can afford to lose?
I would say a lot of people are doing that. Some of such stories are even publicized and somewhat celebrated by the public when it gets reported.
After the initial pump of Bitcoin is 2017, many people just heard about it and felt they missed a huge opportunity to get rich, quick. To make up for this, they get a bit desperate and start to throw in more money than they can afford to lose, just to get a bit of the pie.

This desperation and greed make them to see slow, regular investments of low amounts (<$50) as a waste of time, even though that's what they can afford at the time. They instead throw entire savings into the market, so when it multiples, they have more profits. More often than not, they get burned out.
There is also a difference in patience when you do it that way as well. If I am putting 50 bucks a month and keep doing that for the next 30 years then I will get rich and I won't be feeling like I need it because who needs extra 50 bucks a month? Sure some people do, there are 8 billion people in the world and I assume not many can do it, but I can and I would say it wouldn't be needed and I can wait.

However, if I sell my car lets say and invest that into bitcoin and it goes down? I would not be able to wait as patiently as I could otherwise, because in this situation I sold my car, and I want it to go up so I can buy a better car, but if it goes down then I can't even buy the same car back.
2195  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin payment laundering in order to avoid taxation on: December 30, 2022, 06:25:18 PM
Hello I have started accepting payments with bitcoin due to its anonym state. Should I state them at my taxes as payments? Should I just spend them as a bitcoin on groceries and under 1,000 payments? Also, is it worth it to take them in cash using a crypto atm? What is my best option to not get this money tracked and taxed?
It depends you are running a business then you can't evade because IRS will know what you are getting so you will be forced to pay taxes if you evade but avoidance isn't illegal so learn to use avoidance but never ever try to evade since its illegal and also this forum doesn't encourage any kind of criminal activities in any jurisdiction.

Crypto assets aren't made for tax evasion and you can evade with fiat too so its just the medium and it doesn't help you when you decide what you are going to do.

Crypto ATM conversion isn't that cheap so you are paying premium price or they take big chunk as commission.
The problem with IRS is the fact that they won't tell you how much you owe them, so you have to calculate and pay them yourself, but if you pay less than you should, they will punish you for it and tell you that you should have paid more and now you are punished.

This means they know how much you should pay to begin with, because if they didn't know then you wouldn't be caught when you paid less, so they know, and they still didn't tell you at the start. In most other nations that is known and whatever IRS is called in your nation, they will tell you how much you should pay, and you pay it and move on. That is EXACTLY what American's need for sure.
2196  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does a trading strategy becomes obsolete? on: December 30, 2022, 04:59:12 PM
Well I'm new to crypto and a bit loss on the best strategy to take  , I will be grateful if you issue out a reliable strategy to embark on
If you are a newbie then the best strategy would be long term investment and not trading. I know many people think that it would be better if they could end up with some profit in the long run by trading, because trading could make them a lot of profit if they could find the peak to sell and bottom to buy and keep repeating that and it's true.

But, newbies can't do that just yet, you need to learn a lot more about trading before you could take that risk and it is clear that we should be able to just invest long term until the price goes up and meanwhile learn the trading part of crypto during this time. It will give you both profit and time as well, and you will be ready.
2197  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Day/Swing Trading - Trainer or Tutor or other suggesting on: December 30, 2022, 07:16:40 AM
I learn trading myself and I understand what it is, the trading site guides and videos were even enough for me to learn how to trade. I did not use demo, after reading the article and videos that the trading site provided, I deposited small amount of money and used $11 to trade and the experience began that time.
You sound like exactly how a newbie should get begins with cryptocurrency trading but basically I am not against to demo account. I mean I will suggest to engage in demo accounts for time being rather than learning such things from articles or videos. Because, learning in real-like scenario might be more effective compared what we could learn from books and videos.

Long term swing trading could be possible everyone but day trading must be profitable only for the pro traders. Swing trading usually demands derivative accounts but for BTC/USD pair we can swing trade even in spot markets which may help to eliminate liquidation pressures.
2198  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Tutored or you learned how to trade? on: December 30, 2022, 06:14:04 AM
Building self-confidence is one of the most important things for a trader. without having confidence trading will not go according to strategy.
Being self-confident without enough preparation might lead you to be over confident. Building confidence happens on its own when you are gaining experiences and gathering knowledge from books and real time scenarios. Yes, when you are confident about hitting profits 8 out 10 trades then you slowly become a self-confident trader.

your research will elaborate you and inspires you more of having safe control and management, their is different between someone who research and understand on it own and someone who just started learning from someone
Learning from a tutor got limitations; no one could guide you for an all-new-market-condition but if you are self-driven trader then you may analyse the situation and may get chances to cut your losses earlier. I am sure that crypto market is too wild; so being prepared to face any situation on being self-resilient alone will help.
2199  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think about these hyped projects for 2023? on: December 30, 2022, 05:50:54 AM
Every once in a while I do some research here and there, to see which crypto projects are more hyped and talked about. Remember, I'm not saying these are good projects or have strong fundamentals, just that I believe they are more hyped than the others. So they can be a good investment, or a bad one.
Yeah, investing into new altcoin projects is simply gambling these days. I guess there could be only 10% chances for anyone to get into a right coin which may grow over the time but unfortunately most of the times, almost all the new coins are losing its value slowly either in BTC value or in both USD and BTC value. Usually I do prefer to calculate my profits in BTC value hence I hate trying new projects basically.

Still, if we are lucky then we grabbed dogecoins before Elon started pumping then we could have easily achieved 20x profits but I am not seeing anyone did that but I am sure all long term holders might have got benefitted from dgecoins along with Elon Musk.
2200  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The reason Dogecoin could fail in the future on: December 30, 2022, 05:21:45 AM
Dogecoin could fail in the near future due to its outdated blockchain technology. The Dogecoin blockchain is built on the Litecoin blockchain, which is based on Bitcoin's Blockchain.
One of the main issues with old blockchains is that they're not scalable. They are unable to manage large volumes of transactions without slowing down or mistakes.
How hard to update the technology behind the blockchain? Just active devs team is more than enough to do so. When dogecoin was pumped from 30 satoshi to 1000 satoshi, dogecoin's official core wallet was not syncing at all; still we experienced multi-fold growth (now dogecoin got a fully functional wallet as per I checked last). So, if you are complaining about their blockchain technology then I guess it would be matter of one or two weeks or months time to get into a new technology.

I wish, new active devs to cap the total circulating supply as I remember initially dogecoin got limited supply like 100 billions (please correct me if I am wrong) but after that devs changed it to unlimited supply.
