2361  Economy / Speculation / Re: will we witness year end bullrun or bull trap? on: December 01, 2021, 09:22:12 PM
4 years ago there were good news coming along in December like the CBoE and CME bitcoin future contracts. At that time no one really knows that is this kind of offering so everyone jump on the bandwagon and that's why the price goes to a new all time high  that time, almost $20k.

But in this December? we need some good and positive news. The taproot implementation didn't do that much in November. So again, maybe if there is some news that will turn around the market this December, I'm not expecting a massive bull run.
I would say taproot thing is not something you get to use that easily with everyone involved. Look at lightning network, nobody cared about it but it was such an easy and fast and cheap method. Binance doesn't offer taproot or bach32 stuff just now neither, so I would guess that most people are still using either segwit or even legacy.

I know that it doesn't look like it is a good idea to hope for taproot to change something because it would make things a lot easier and cheaper but at the end of the day if it is not used then it would be useless, quite literally. So I assume that the price changes of 4 years ago and right now are not the same, it is quite different and reasons are very different as well.

Norwich drew with Newcastle United.  With this result, Newcastle got their 7th draw.  Norwich reached 10 points.
Pukki is survivor for Norwich with vital one point and this is big setback for Newcastle because after this draw now they are still at bottom with very hard schedule is coming for them in next many weeks which mean they need some miracle for coming out of this place with too many big wins against very strong teams.

Even it's just second match for new coach and management which is not giving any relief to them as they have first lost against Arsenal in away game and now draw against Norwich with just 7 draws for this season and no having any win is worst for them, and they possibly stay here in Premier League for next season. Now they require some big investments like PSG for their good end of this season.

Atlanta is scoring 4 goals against Venezia. Mario Pasalic scored a hat-trick. Luis Muriel has done two assists. Venezia failed to score. Although they made 8 shots. But none of them are strong.

The match between Fiorentina vs Sampdoria was expected to be competitive. Sampdoria scored the first goal of the match. But then they conceded 3 goals in the first half. Neither team could score another goal in the second half.
it was an easy victory for Atalanta that shows great performance in last matches. the winning streak for Atalanta in Serie A is up to 4 matches and this victory is very important because next match is vs Napoli.
Atlanta is in the best form and after beating Juventus in away game now they can feel much better and having some good confidence to face League leaders in away game in next few days this could be very important game for these both teams because Napoli is after losing against Inter have very strong comeback against Lazio now this crucial game will give some better view how is this year's title race going because if Napoli win then surely it's hard for other teams to catch them for title race, but any other result could be very good for few other contenders like AC Milan and Inter because this will bring down Napoli with few more points, and they could be good to give them some tough time for next part of this season.

If Atlanta able to beat Napoli then surely they could be fourth strong contender for this year's title race after Napoli, Inter and AC Milan and this could be big setback for Napoli which was enjoying good lead at top.
2364  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where do you trade your crypto on: November 30, 2021, 06:19:48 PM
I want to know with what platforms you are working with.
It all depends on which exchange  or platform I want to make use of. There are so many reliable platforms that you can make use of, and it all comes to what you would really like. Sometimes I prefer to thread peer to peer, with some local exchanges, which is mostly convenient for me, because once I send cryptocurrency to them they do the transaction straight to my bank without much stress. And the good thing about this peer to peer trading with local exchanges is that It is able to build trust between you and them, and you are sure that you won’t be getting cheated.

Another good reason is that they have one of the highest threat I can find, so I prefer to trade with them. Then if you want you can as well make use of some centralized exchanges like Binance.com, though Binance do have its own peer to peer platform, but I don’t really make use of it.

Australia and England are promoting woman cricket since they have interest of people in woman cricket, they have funds and its there state policy to include woman in every aspect of life. Other countries don't have or dont follow these parameters. Other boards are more concerned about money so they wont invest any penny from there pocket for woman leagues.
You are correct these countries can promote this game in women because they are better educated and financial strong countries, and we have here some serious issues related to society, education and finances in many countries, so they can't do this all as we have in big countries.

Indian Cricket Board is one of richest but still they are not having interest in this because they can face some issues but still they are improving good quality cricket which is now growing very quickly across India but in Pakistan. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh it's not easy to have luxury like this even now in quality South Africa and New Zealand women teams are not good enough because it's also having some other things as well it's very long debate which is not good but women facing some problems in all fields because of gender even we are talking about equality and respect for them.
2366  Economy / Economics / Re: Preparing for the future. on: November 29, 2021, 09:40:18 PM
Now I am 27 years old and i know bitcoin about 6 years ago when the price of 1 btc was around $240, at that time i bought and used it for cloud mining, gambling and HYIP and i lost a lot, if i hold on until now i can get out of the office and start business, for a better future I will buy and make bitcoin a long term investment.
I am somewhere close to you. Not in age but how I realized it and how I spent mine for useless stuff and lost most of it. However I have been doing fine thanks to this new increase. I am not saying that it has been a great situation, we all know that if we are not careful enough then we are going to lose it so I ended up investing with the drop during march 2020 and that has been my rock that I stand on. After that I did some good investments as well but never did as much profit in dollars as I did with that.

So, I would say that it is clear for me that even if we lost too much money we still learned a valuable lesson. We are still young, there is a long way until being retired and that means we could end up with something much better by the time our retirement age comes. I am hoping to have over half a million dollars saved when that day comes and it would mean a great retirement for me.
2367  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Cryptocurrency for 1 Week! on: November 29, 2021, 08:42:36 PM
Sorry to burst your bubble OP, one week isn't enough to judge how a successful trader you've become. Anybody can win a trade at a time like we have it now because of the upward price movement. We're in a bull rally, and people hardly record losses. We get people missing out rather than recording losses during a bull run. I think anyone should trade a complete circle before they can claim they're successful. A complete trade circle in cryptocurrency industry for me is four years. The pre-Bitcoin halving, halving itself and post–halving are the complete experience circle any trader needs to guage themselves in this industry.
That's the key difference here, in a week even the best trader could have the worst week or the worst trader could have the best week. It is a very small sample size and that tells us nothing at all. I had weeks where I did 10x profit and I had weeks where I lost 80% as well, so I can't really base how good or bad I am on any week of my life, so neither should anyone else.

What you can get from a week is to see if you could leave emotions out when you are trading. That is a very important thing when you are trading and if you could do that then you could become a decent trader in the future, if you are new and you could leave emotions out of trading, that would be the only thing to learn about you in a single week.
2368  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: November 28, 2021, 09:04:09 PM
In the current match, Sevilla took a 1-0 lead with Mir's goal at the Santiago Bernabeu. If Sevilla wins this match, they will become the leader in La Liga. This is an important match for Real Madrid, Sevilla and their followers, Atletico Madrid, Real Sociedad and Real Betis. Let's see which team will win at the end of the match, will the leader change in the league?

Edit : At the time of writing this message, Real scored with Benzema.
After end of first half now both teams are level with 1 - 1 but Sevilla done some good in first half now if they keep this momentum then surely they can restrict Real Madrid and can stay on second spot in La Liga with one game still in hand because now after Xavi's arrival situation is very serious in this league Barcelona is improving so other teams have to do some better for staying at top today Atletico won and Real Socidad lost and if Sevilla also lost then surely Real Madrid will enjoy 5 points gap against their all opponents and Sevilla will also slip from second to fourth spot with just 5 points gap between them and Barcelona which is now also hunting for their spot in top four as they already out of this year's Champions League knock out stage.
2369  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC reach $100,000 in December? on: November 28, 2021, 06:24:30 PM
for this year, the price of bitcoin reached $100k to be very small huh. I also think so. a few months ago, I speculated that this month the bitcoin price could reach the $75k or $80k range. however, it looks like a correction is taking place and pushing bitcoin even below $60k.
however, reaching a price of $70k alone is a very good start to 2022. I still believe that prices will rise again in the near future. however, it doesn't look like the price will reach $100k by the end of this year. Well, let's hope it's actually achieved in 2022.
I have seen many people talking about 100k recently, everyone is aiming at that and I hope that it happens. Yet, just like you said, even if we are above 70k and whatever it is, it could be 70001 then I would be happy about it. That's a great base to start with, every year bitcoin is reaching insane numbers and I am quite happy about it. Aside from going from 2018 to 19, nearly every year was a big success and I hope that same could happen this time around as well.

I can't say much about what is going to happen but I see that every time we are higher yearly, that is a good thing for the future. If we are higher every year, what would be the price of bitcoin in 2030? That is the thing that I am so happy about, if we keep this long term trajectory going on, then we are going to end up with something huge when 2030 hits and maybe that would mean I would be rich? Who knows.
2370  Economy / Economics / Re: Prospective retailer on: November 27, 2021, 06:24:32 PM
Crypto has opened up lots of self employment option to our present society ranging from investment to trading even down to staking and all this are made possible by both centralized and decentralized exchanges providing services through licensed procedure to ensure a secured transaction either through peer-to-peer or a completely centralized procedure

I was just wondering don't you think becoming a retail vendor through a well developed exchange can earn you passive income or you haven't thought in that direction. Or could there be an  untold/hidden mysteries behind setting up an exchange because we still need more exchanges so we can give crypto more boost beyond government regulations
Anyone can work as a crypto retailer, and you don’t even need an exchange for you to be able to run a business like that. I’ve seen a lot of people in my country where I live who are working as crypto retailers, and they own their own websites slash exchange where they do their cryptocurrency business. Their business is like a peer to peer form, so the government can’t really interfere in their business, because the government wouldn’t be able to know what is going on.

Although there have been some of them that are registered under the government, and this ones can be affected at anytime if the government decides to ban them. Only those that have stayed as peer to peer are the ones that won't be affected by any rules that are set up by the government to ban cryptocurrency. So, being a crypto retailer is nothing new at all, there are lots of people who have been doing it right from time.

reported [local media] the carbon neutralization mission in 2060 in China and after Meng Wei's announcement from the NDRC about the decisive action that will be applied to crypto miners whether it will work as stated .....
if so, what is the percentage of the impact on bitcoin and other cryptos in the future ..... as we saw after Meng Wei's announcement on the Coindesk site, on Friday's trading session (11/19/2021), the price of Bitcoin fell further, that is, it was sold at a price of 56,959 US dollars per piece
China has fully locked their doors on cryptocurrency, and banned crypto mining companies from their country. So right now, I always consider everything that has to do with China as out of topic when it is cryptocurrency that is being talked about. Are you forgetting that yesterday that the price of Bitcoin was trading almost at $60,000?  although today it has dropped to $54,000. So, you have to know that it is a normal thing that the price will always go up and down, that is how Bitcoin is, and it has always been like that from the start.

I’ve seen a few experts analysts who predicted a decrease in the price of Bitcoin, or do they were being positive on the price of alternative coins in the future,  but I don’t know yet whether I am to believe all those analysis or not. Because, I am still believing that the price of Bitcoin will increase this December before the year is over.
2372  Other / Archival / Re: [POLL] What to expect from Bitcoin in 2022? on: November 26, 2021, 05:46:02 PM
I find the market to be functional on a cyclic process. Once after the previous bull market there is much expectations on the price to increase continuously. Once there is no big movement with bitcoin, everyone's eye turned towards altcoins. Further discussion started as it is the year of altcoins, particularly ethereum. That created some expectation for some time period. After a long this year we've experienced the real bull trend.

Over the past few years we've been part of the volatile market that is good for the traders. This year has brought in the profit for all the long term holders. Almost similar pattern as the previous bull market have happened, only the price difference is big this time. So, I expect some form of bearish move by the falling year.
I would say that anyone who has never been part of previous cycles will not be able to predict what the future holds. I get that it is not something that many people could comprehend, and they do not know how it acted before, but this is usual for all the other ones.

I get that it is regular for us, I mean we will have great years, then we will have altseason, then we will crash, then it will be like that for a while and during that crash it will go down a bit, then a bit more than a bit more and so forth, then it will stay like that for a very long term without moving much, sure a 10-20% move but that is nothing in crypto, and then suddenly it will be another skyrocketing increase. It has always been like that and will keep on being like that again in the future.
2373  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why Does BTC growing faster?? on: November 25, 2021, 07:25:33 PM
Bitcoin is growing faster than any other crypto currencies because people choose bitcoin.
Why people choose bitcoin? Because they believe in bitcoin. They think it has value so they invest in that. It's the first introduced crypto currency in the world and people believe it's the future of currency. Apart from any other investment choice bitcoin give more return even it has huge risk people are ready to take the risk.

I don't know bitcoin is going up or down in future but I hope it will be give better return to everyone.
I believe that the very big reason is that its entry point and known more than any other. It is at the top of the list and if you want to buy crypto then buying bitcoin is the easiest part of doing that. I get that we as crypto people know thousands of coins right now and that's fine, we could invest into those if we want to, however all the newbies and veterans alike end up investing into bitcoin first, then moving to other things if they want to.

This is the main reason why we have such big volume on bitcoin, and why we have high leverage as well because people want to make a lot of profit but they do not want to risk it with low level coins. I believe it is not because bitcoin is by far the best, but it is because it is by a big margin the most popular one.
2374  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin the king on: November 25, 2021, 06:46:09 PM
Today I took my time to go round the market, there are more than 9000 cryptos in the market, but bitcoin is still the king. Now that many other cryptocurrencies are seriously pumping can they take over from bitcoin? If they take over from bitcoin can they last in that position like bitcoin?
I definitely agree that there is a good chance Bitcoin could be toppled one day and I have always believed that and said that. I know that people believe there will never be anything at the top above bitcoin but unfortunately bitcoin is a very low tech thing compared to others right now, it was the best for a while when it started but look at what we have with other things now.

I am not saying that better tech equals better ranks, that doesn't mean that we have to believe bitcoin will stay neither. For example, ETH is second and there are better tech blockchains out there compared to ETH but I believe that we are not going to see anything better than ETH for a while in rankings neither. This is why I honestly say that one day ETH will flip Bitcoin but it may not be right now, it could be sometime before it actually reaches to a whole new level.
2375  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does someone use trading bots? on: November 25, 2021, 03:26:50 PM
Yes, there must be someone who uses bots for trading. But it wasn't me and for some reason I wasn't interested in it. I feel capable and have the time to trade independently. Maybe some people use bots to save more their time or because they have too much work but still want to trade so the way to go is to use bots. Bots themselves can also do their job well and even make a profit.

Yes I saw several people seeking some bots but actually this will never guarantee that we can earn since it has a chance to lose for certain instance. And I also not interested to use this since its not fun to do trades by using that since we cannot learn something deep unlike we do it manually. But this will matter depends on what people like since there are rich guys there who can spend a lot of money to buy some bots to have trade for them.
If you configure your bot properly and you have a decent bot then there is a chance that you could never "lose", all you will have a ton of bags that you will hold. However, assuming you deal with known high level stuff, things like btc/usdt, eth/usdt, btc/eth, usdt/bnb and so forth so forth then you would not be holding them for too long. There is a good chance that you could actually program your bot in a way that it either gives you a profit right away, or it waits until it gives you a profit until the prices go back up. That is how I used mine back in the day but unfortunately it started to be a little funky and I decided to stop using it.
2376  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH we can expect big move on: November 25, 2021, 02:30:08 PM
As per previous charts, Institutional investing , ETH Burning .

My forecast is ETH can be 10000-13000$ end of the year.
I do not believe that ETH could be 10k+ in a month, that would be way too big of an increase to have and I believe that we will probably have something much lower. However 5k could be great, that would be something that I would expect from bitcoin and if that happens then we are doing fine.

When you are expecting something closer like 5k then you could be happy with any increase, when you are expecting something like 10k or 12k then it means you are expecting something much bigger and even 5k which is a new ATH if happens could still be something you are upset about, not really be "upset" but you are disappointed that it is still at half of what you are expecting it to be. Drop your expectations a bit lower and you are going get happy quicker.
2377  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Cardano run $200 on: November 25, 2021, 01:28:06 PM
It is a very interesting analysis, however everything sounds very good as you say, but in the speculative market anything could happen, now if Cardano takes that turn it would be a great surprise for all investors, because even though the market has been going up, Cardano does not seem to respond like all cryptocurrencies, and the truth is I do not know if that is a good or bad thing, however I stick to the technical analysis of the main magazines or news to get an idea of what may be happening, until now I don't know anything relevant about your team.
I agree that usually people do not expect too much from analysis since it could be true or it could be false and we do not know which one until it happens. The reality is that we should be focusing on long term investments and looking at how long term looks great for ADA, there is really no point to believe or not believe this chart, in any case in the long run it will be fine.

I am not saying go out there and buy ADA, there are other coins as well that you could buy for long-term holding, all I am saying is that when you are looking at a chart and it shows that there is a good chance it may go up soon, then you could buy that coin because usually even if it doesn't go up soon, it will go up later on and that is how you make a profit.

The juice is multiplied in parlays and it's very unlikely to get any value in odds of big NBA matches like that. Moreover, AFAIK there is no bonus neither insurance for this kind of bets on Stake unlike some other sportsbooks like sportsbet.io for example. Then this guy is a little bit crazy to have bet more than 4 Eth on a 5 legs parlay of big NBA matches on this sportsbook IMO.
Nobody said that it is the optimized and perfect version of gambling, but if you like NBA and you want to wager on the games that you are about to gamble, then why not? I love NBA and I watch the highlights of every game (can't watch the regular games it is after midnight here) and that usually means that I like to wager on them too.

It doesn't make sense to wager on sports that you do not watch, people wager on tennis and golf as well but I don't do it because there is no reason to do it for me, I don't watch them so why would I wager on those games? I know that there are better games and all that you could wager and could get the most out of, but if you do not like those games then it doesn't make sense.
2379  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is Bitcoin up since after Dump? on: November 24, 2021, 08:29:04 PM
Traders like me has wondered the next move for bitcoin. Ever since the dump that happened few days ago, it's been almost stagnant at $63k.
The latest technical analysis from one of the most popular analysts in the market shows that the Bitcoin market might still continue to decrease, as it would be facing more price correction. The analysis goes further to say that Ethereum and some other top altcoins in the market stand a bigger chance of increasing In the near future.

But all these things are still speculations, none of us can really tell what it is going to be, so if you still believe that you will be able to keep holding, then you should continue holding your assets and not sell it, but if you feel that you have made profits already and you don’t want to lose anything again, then you can go ahead and sell your coins.
2380  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Play-to-Earn games on ETH: What's the catch? on: November 24, 2021, 06:55:25 PM
Binance Smart Chain is no longer a chain that gives ultra low fee. It is lower than ERC-20 chain from Ethereum but it is no longer a chain for the poor. I used the poor because I want to remind the tweet from CZ. When he shilled BSC, he tweeted, Ethereum is for the rich and you will get poorer with ETH. BSC is for the poor and you will get richer with BSC.

Now BSC has more expensive gas price and very similar to ETH, CZ and Binance team can not handle it to bring the cheap fee back. It can come back if ETH and BNB price falls down and become cheaper. I don't think it is what we want. Fair enough, choose one in between: cheap fee or expensive price of ETH, BNB. I would like to choose the latter.
It was never really "ultra cheap" considering there are free networks out there that people could use if they want to. The problem here is that we should not be looking for something that is free, as long as it is "cheap enough" then we should also look for the quality of the projects in it.

ETH is amazing when it comes to projects in their network, but it is incredibly expensive, literally costs 100 dollars to approve a swap pair for example, whereas SOL is great for fees since it is totally free most of the time or maybe like a few cents at the very worst case I believe, but when it comes to projects in their network they suck and there aren't any proper projects there, sure there are a few but they all feel subpar compared to ETH and BNB. So this is why people pick BSC, it is not the cheapest and it is not the best, but it is the best you could find for that price.
