Currently, the market is in correction mode which has resulted in the price of both SOL and ETH going down. With an initial amount of $2000 and if invested all of it to buy SOL, OP will eventually have approximately 11 SOL ($188). He can keep those SOLs in the phantom wallet and can stake them, get airdrops, swap some SOLs for meme coins, and enjoy more profits than investing in ETH. Later on, when the market is in green he can easily get a good amount of profit from the price rise. I think investing in SOL would be the right choice in the current situation than going after ETH.
ETH actually also have the same thing going on we know existence of staking programs or restaking programs comming from the many new projects such as zircuit, stakestone, etc the advantage of some projects these days around is that they support omnichain meaning regardless of whether its EVM based, or any other blockchain they can support, so the benefit you mentioned from sol isn't necessarily doesn't exist for ethereum.
moreover, the narrative of meme coin already switching over to base i guess maybe because warpcaster devs are creating all their thing in that blockchain maybe because its more suited in the ecosystem, doesn't mean there will be no meme coin that gonna be emerging from sol though but probably its already diversified across the two blockchain added with ethereum on top of that.
so basically you can be holding ethereum and solana and get the same benefits there's nothing that you gonna miss out here.

snip

First of all, I am amused by how bookmakers quote the game City - Aston Villa: 1.26. As you can see, they don't consider it difficult for the City.
As for the big picture, the calendar looks equal for everyone, so points advantage (Liverpool, then Arsenal) and the ability to focus on the Premier League without paying attention to the Euro cups (Liverpool) come to the fore. Liverpool looks like the favorite here and the bookmakers are quoting it as such, but in their opinion, City and not Arsenal are in second place.

What you said above was true and im also wondering it.



Guardiola has confirm some players will out from the game against villa. IMO, this could be considered as a serious consideration for bookmakaers caused by city is gonna face villa without weaker squad as some important players will be missing this game. The odds is pretty small for this match.
I don't mind arsenal and liverpool caused by they are all gonna have easy fixtures. The match against aston villa considerably difficult for manchester city.

Bookies should give higher odds considering the city will be missing some players. A bit strange to see how bookmakers considering villa is in the same level as mediocre club based on the current odds.
Bookmakers strongly believe if they can beat villa but i have opposite opinion. Villa is quite strong even though it was no at its peak performance.

The current odds put city superior compared to the villa.
243  Economy / Economics / Re: How is it possible to say there is no money in the bank on: April 02, 2024, 12:44:59 AM
The truth is some times banks run out of cash due demand on cash and they only give out the cash that has been deposited by some one else
So it normal for banks to be with out cash and this normal happens during the seasons like X mass, Ramadan etc where people are celebrating and everyone is trying to withdraw money from the bank
usually when someone need to withdraw huge amount of money they need to notice the bank before hand to ready the money before they can cash it out, it confirms your statement that bank usually just give back the money other people deposited for their liquidity so it does make sense that there's sometime no money in bank.
usually the bank themselves try to profit off the money deposited by investing it else where or give loan to people after all bank with their large scale of operation requires a lot of money if they don't do that i doubt there gonna be any bank office in every city.
there's reason why there exist term called Rush Money where people taking their money off banks due to mistrust and that usually causes bank to collapse.
244  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will you sell Shib now? Am holding on: April 02, 2024, 12:29:33 AM
Don't have shiba token now and I don't think it could be worth again this time. Main fact is shiba is memecoin and major percentage of shares are hold by team, so they can still dump the coin badly if they need. And never expect from a memecoin that, it will always performance well like before. most of meme coins weren't worth enough while it comes to holding it for long term, although people get benefited from shiba for short term investment but i want assurance of my investment this time and market already unlocking many opportunity
never made a research about shiba but if its true that large supply being held by the team then that just means this meme coin not worth investing, most of new meme coin usually just outright allocate all the supply to the community if they don't do that most of the meme coin snipers wouldn't even bother with such coin, except there's certain little supply for getting into the exchange and then thats fine but most of the meme coin that emerges nowaday never allocate a dime even for their own devs, the devs are also buying the coin in dex or at least if there is presale all the money raised all went to the LP to give liquidity.
it just comes off as a fishy investment nowaday if a meme coin reserve supply for their devs from my experiences.
but I guess that because shiba inu was created right after doge so its not really a thing back then for meme coin to reserve all supply for all the community without exception.
personally i would refrain from investing in it and would prefer doge that at least elon say to be more decentralized than ever since all the whales seems like already dumping their bags.
245  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Sold all my shib for litecoin on: April 02, 2024, 12:15:43 AM
im not really so sure with litecoin honestly its low market cap is with a reason its an old coin that people don't really look into when they are trying to invest, same case with other coin that are formerly in the top 5 but tanked and then decreased in ranks there's always rotation for the top ranked coin as the seasons change so litecoin don't really have that much potential as you might think it have or at least thats from my point of view.
i will better off investing in a coin thats new that have never yet to reach all time high but also have quite high market cap and is also being backed by reputable investors like those new L2 but thats just me alright.
with the fact that there's no meaningful innovation coming from ltc i don't really think its gonna have any eventful future that gonna make the price increase in any way.
but thats up to you at the end of the day, always make analysis based on your own.
246  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Success is a meaningless word without failure. on: April 01, 2024, 09:14:40 AM
Of course, we should not lose patience when it comes to investing in bitcoins, we should not be in too much of a hurry. Many times we are addicted to become overnight millionaires. If we invest like this, we will lose most of the time. Therefore, we will usually invest to make money, but not overnight. Of course in investing you need to acquire enough investment knowledge if you don't have enough knowledge about what you are investing in then you will never have much success in investing. So we all should have a long term plan before investment and check the market patiently if we can invest then surely we will get success through that investment. Many times it is seen that big investors also lose patience so patience is very important while investing, if we can invest patiently we will succeed very quickly due to this patience.
patience always the key, most of investment and trading results depends on timing and timing is part of patience, cut lossing means someone is not patient enough if the coin they cut loss are of high quality.
that is, if without any proper reasoning then that trade is made with haste and haste is never a good thing when trading or investing unless there's sudden dip that you can see sign of it being a big price fall that you can predict.
but then again a success is still meaningful even without failure, there are many that are lucky enough to be success in the first attempt, thats fine enough, if they are that lucky and their success is due to their calculated management of risk as well as management of business, that success is deserving, there's plenty of such people that could start business and right off the bat become success.
so its not entirely true that success is meaningless word without failure except we are talking about literacy here.
247  Economy / Speculation / Re: are you expecting Bitcoin to hit $400,000 after the bull run. on: April 01, 2024, 09:01:07 AM
I'm seeing Bitcoin rising to $400,000 before the first quarter of 2025, the bull run this time it will be different from the last one. Bitcoin is $70,000 now the halving have not started, I'm looking at the market that this is the right to buy and hold after the bull run then you sell and make your triple profit.
need to take into account that many people also consider that bitcoin is depending on season when it decides to have bullrun, so it might not easily reach that high of a price since the market cap would also grow so significantly, I think that price only realistic if there's more and more country are accepting bitcoin as an instrument of investment therefore opening up to an even higher market capital by raising the flow of capital into the investment so it might be realistic.
but as of now we should be a lot more concerned about bitcoin reaching $100k since its kinda the more realistic price point that bitcoin could easily reach so concentrating on it first is a must.
but overall if we follow prediction of many people, there are many that predicted that within a decade bitcoin might reach $1 million.
that from my opinion is already awesome achievement within a decade.
248  Economy / Speculation / Re: If you had bought the previous ATH you're on profit on: April 01, 2024, 07:54:00 AM
Comparing it with the investors that have bought on the peak of $73k, they have to wait again until they break even.

But an investor that looks at the market to profit quickly, they're the ones that won't survive for so long.

This market is designed for most of the long term holders and whoever stays here for the short term will just have to come back but missed more profits than of those that have just held.
as always the holders always wins because long term investment is the best way to figure out profit from investing in bitcoin for most of the trader they might get caught with sudden dipping and then lost their entire profit and capital possibly but they can always become a long term investment if worse come to worst wait it out until their asset making profit exactly what people from previous bullrun who bought an all time high and patient enough to wait, even though they are buying at peak it can't be denied they have made profit.
but we also know that being patient when the market seems like as if its gonna get doomed is just simply put hard enough to be honest.
its an activity that is mentally exhausting so i'm not surprised if some people just take the loss and move on, but its already proven that someone can buy at peak and could still make profit its all about strategy and patient.
249  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 31, 2024, 10:52:05 PM
Liverpool fans are actually happy with this outcome because they are now at the top of the Premier League table with two points ahead of Arsenal and three points ahead of Manchester City.

The match was also not bad for Arsenal because it is a sign that Arsenal is strong enough to win title now, the only problem we are still having is a prolific and a reliable striker up front to help us convert our chances.

As it stands like this, the Premier League table’s top team will not be stable because if Arsenal is winning and they played before Liverpool, they will top the League before Liverpool, and by any chance of Liverpool lose or draw any match, Arsenal will overtake them, likewise Manchester City too.

Yeah this is what Liverpool and the fans want they can take over the top of the standings without having to beat any of the competitors and at least Liverpool is safe for the next few weeks before facing another tough match towards the end of the season. Manchester City is 3 points behind, meaning they need to make more effort to catch up at least 3 points it would be safer, I just checked the betting markets for the winner of the premier league title and now Liverpool is at the top even though previously Manchester City was there. I personally hope Liverpool will win the title it was the right moment when the coach wanted to move or retire.



Damn! the situation changed so fast after city gets draw against arsenal. Im sure that if city would still there if it was not getting draw against arsenal but the title race totally changed the situation but im not yet seeing that if liverpool has locked the trophy. The club needs to survive till the last match in order to win PL trophy this season.
The odds changed drastically and i remember when city was below 2 but it's not even touch fuckin three. The odds can change drastically in any weeks considering the fact that if the current standing can change anytime. People must be ready in seeing so many drama to happen till the end of season.
That being said that if we will be having so many possible scenarios. This kind of situation is very hard to predict and no fuckin way for liverpool to win EPL trophy easily by always winning the matches till the end of season.

There will be more obstacles to come for liverpool like when he will face arsenal soon. It's time for city to slowly getting closer to the liverpool. The match from city vs arsenal changed the atmosphere. Liverpudlians are so damn happy with the result.
They can sleep well after saw the result from city vs arsenal. What a disgusting result from the big match. I often seeing the big match was not so attractive compared to the match against mid table team like chelsea.
250  Economy / Economics / Re: When luxury becomes a necessity. on: March 31, 2024, 09:13:41 PM
High quality goods are for personal needs, luxury goods are for public consumption (visually). I can't find a more logical reason than this.
Both can make someone more productive depending on the value of what you sell. Say you're an editor, you would certainly prefer high spec PC components in general compared to standard specs but covered in gold. It's different if you are an advertising star, your outfit is a consideration for the prospective clients.
indeed sometime having luxurious goods are necessary, for example as a businessman you might try to show up to be looking like having various luxurious stuff to increase your credibility, a man that rides lamborghini looks a lot more reliable than a man who rides some random honda if we are talking about multi million business and that make sense.
as long as it beneftis us i think there's nothing wrong with having luxurious stuff, even better if it could instead help us make our prospective client trust us more.
consider some people that judge a book by the cover exist and there are many of such people, having luxurious stuff most certainly helps a lot deaing with these kind of people.
lest the advantage that we are getting from having luxurious fun talking about the fun side of owning one.
251  Economy / Economics / Re: The benefits of risk taking on: March 31, 2024, 04:01:20 PM
anyone don't wanna take risk because they are too scared are probably just gonna stuck in the same position all their life, indeed risk is there when we make choices.
but also meticulous planning is all what you need to counter the risk, but there's simply nothing that can change our life if we don't really take the risk.
trader and investor are betting on the future to grow their capital by investing when the price is low, there's risk accompanying it as well as the investment that they do.
there's simply too many things that have risk, even there's saying no pain no gain meaning that if we want to gain something we might suffer certain pain which i'm sure that its
caused by the risk accompanying the way to gain something, thats just how it works with this world, risk taking always become the fastest way to gain something that you yearns for.
252  Economy / Economics / Re: Debt Management. on: March 31, 2024, 03:10:51 PM
Lots of people nowadays are very comfortable with asking for money to be paid later on even with things they don’t need. Such example is a credit card. Instead of accepting we can’t afford something, we go out of our ways and ask for money from lenders which like you said can be very addicting. You are spending your money but at the same time not really which gives you the illusion that you are not spending any money at all.
there's many misconception about the use of credit card that people seem not to understand, there's reason why many "rich" people try to mantain their cashflow and one of them is by utilizing credit card, when people are using credit card doesn't mean they gonna pay in installments because they are consumptive and they are running out of money, they probably just gonna delay payment until sometime and then paid it in full, its common use for many rich people out there that just want sometime so to not disturbt their cash flow and thats wise enough, i'm pretty damn sure that if someone is just too entangled into debt their credit card limit already reached limit and they can't pay for it, soon they'll lost hold of the credit card, these people also might take advantage of credit card feature just for the sake of growing that credit point for future use.
usually people with credit card know how to deal with debt management in my opinion.
253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 30, 2024, 09:56:25 PM
If it is true that Kevin De Bruyne, Luiz Diaz, Manuel Akanji, Kyle Walker, and John Stones are not going to be available when they face Arsenal, then Manchester City will struggle against Arsenal. With the performance of Arsenal in the Premier League and the current injury crisis at Manchester City, Arsenal will surely walk away with three points when they play against Manchester City on Sunday.
Big blow for manchester city but why the hell luis diaz was there? Is not he liverpool player? Am i wrong about it? Missing walker and stones probably the biggest blow for manchester united. This is why i don't even like the international match when it was also caused a lot of important players to be injured.
It will be also greatly affect the performance from manchester city soon.
254  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 30, 2024, 09:53:31 PM
It's been a lot of minutes since Manchester United couldn't score a goal. The interesting thing is that Brentford is playing better and attacking more. It's incredible that this match is still 0-0. It should have been over 2.5 goals by now. If Manchester United cannot win this match, they should forget their dream of catching Tottenham. Ten Hag brought Antony into the game to score a goal, the man has no goals this season.
We are now entering the injury time for united vs brentford. The result is still a draw at the moment and I believe a surprise goal will occur near the end of the match when United will go all out to attack Brentford. Things are not going well for Manchester United because they will lose three points against Brentford, it will be also reducing their chances of qualifying for the UCL next season to the zero as the gap is too big to catch up by united. It's not yet clear whether there will be an additional spot for EPL in upcoming season of UCL.  
Totenham and Villa won their games against their opponents which means bad things for united.  if United fails to win three points against Brentford, I'm sorry to say that United no longer has a chance of qualifying for the UCL next season, as the gap is growing even wider than before and it's impossible for united to catch up it.

It is impossible for Aston Villa to lose three points in at least four consecutive matches because there could be an 11-point gap between United and Villa.It has been a long time since Villa played in the UCL, and they will be returning, which is great. Many fans praise Emery as a world-class coach.
I'm still watching MU try everything to score at least one goal. 9 minutes of extra time was probably enough to score a goal for Manchester United, and the fans continued to chant in support of their favourite team.

If Manchester United clearly fails to qualify for the UCL, I recommend that the club fire its coach as soon as possible because Ten Hag is untrustworthy and cannot be defended as a coach any further.
Manchester United performed poorly in this game, and that is a fact.
255  Economy / Economics / Re: If being a graduate is the key to being wealthy, why are there poor graduates? on: March 30, 2024, 09:52:14 AM
When someone starts their business with an educational history, of course they will be able to find relationships that will be able to make the business we run have good potential for the future, but this really depends on the business we are going to build, as you said if we build For small businesses, of course we only need capital that is appropriate for the business we are going to build.
Having a bachelor's degree will of course give us good opportunities in anything if we can do it according to the abilities we have and I agree with you that if we don't currently have a bachelor's degree, of course we are behind the times and we have missed many opportunities.
definitely, there's just simply too much thing to be missed if we don't pursue education at least having bachelor degree is already sufficient enough no need to get master degree and so on it already gives us opportunity that we never have before, even more so if we are coming from reputable university thats a huge plus point that boost our credibility seeking job would be easy if we are trying to build career as an employee.
regardless doesn't mean that people that doesn't have any degree won't survive they will but with so much limitation, if anyone interested to take on the challange feel free to take it head on, but just know that having proper education does help a lot if you ever feel to live easier life.

For me graduates are not the key to becoming rich, because currently there are so many graduates who are unemployed because they don't develop skills in their respective fields, and the ones who become entrepreneurs nowadays are mostly people who don't have a university diploma, so everyone it depends on convincing each of us and being willing to try to find change.
depends on the scale of entrepreneur that such person is building if its great scale talking about multi million dollar and beyond, degree might do good, at least to raise funding.
256  Economy / Economics / Re: Debt Management. on: March 30, 2024, 09:27:42 AM
This could all be avoided if we just never had debt in the first place

let's face it many people get debts for things they don't really need they just want to buy it but they cant afford it if they were to pay it as of the moment which is something we should really avoid doing

we should already save money, cut on expenses and make budgets before we even get into debts
consumptive debt is really a disease in every person's life its just gonna make living a hell, never crossed my mind to have debt just because buying some random luxurious expensive thing that just gonna have no value within a decade thats definitely not a good idea but seeing current trend so many people are willing to take on such debt just because they can, definitely not a good way to go when we are trying to accumulate wealth and spending unnecessarily for debt + interest, this means some sum of wealth off our bank account and also means harder life moving forward.
I do agree people should control themselves from having debt in the first place if they can, if we are talking about taking up on a loan just because emergency thing and we all know entrepreneur need a loan exactly for that then its fine as long as its calculated.
but being consumptive and buying all those luxurious thing with a loan definitely can only be done by someone who tries to make their life miserable, always take loan responsibly that is the key.
257  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will ethereum be profitable anytime in the future? on: March 30, 2024, 09:05:42 AM
With change in algorithm and rising electricity bills can mining ethereum be profitable again in the future?
How  i wish you come back online now and see what is the answers about your question and to look at the market on how ethereum increases since you posted this.
Predicting the market rightly is difficult and not all investors can predict rightly but what I don't get is doubting if ethereum can sustain but luckily ethereum has proven the op wrong. I wished op invested at that time till date op would have made more profit compared to investors buying now with the problem of high transaction fee. From my opinion ethereum is totally different from other random coins and it's good for investing
it is definitely good there's no shortage of project try to use it its solid investment in my opinion and so far has been performing well when it comes to investing into bitcoin and ethereum i don't know why i never feel hesitant its unlike the other coin that fluctuates a lot that doesn't give a peace of mind, quite the opposite bitcoin and ethereum is giving the peace of mind for investment as long as we bought at the very bottom we almost know that our money aren't going anywhere instead it will multiplies.
seriously people who are hesitating to invest shouldn't hesitant since its a good thing to invest into a coin that has been proven to be always giving profit to its holder.
consequently though those that buy too late will definitely suffer when the price suddenly dump as always, they're the ones that get fomo'd, always invest early.

What class of an investor are you?

I don't invest to get quick profit from investment. I know that if I invest in Bitcoin I have to hold for a long time. I don't even do market research. I have been investing some amount from my earnings in DCA method. I don't know if I will be among the 3 class investors. But I think I can be a new investor.
well honestly does it matter, a person can be a newbie trader and make big profit anyway having DCA ing from the very bottom when we are in bearish all the way to right now means that the mental aptitude is good not everyone can do that some are so anxious about losing their money to do that but its definitely a good thing to be done considering the prospect of bitcoin if anyone had made DCA from long ago they're already making big bucks right now so I personally would consider that an investor, a good investor at that probably falls under the researcher investor as mentioned since probably buying at bottom requires planning not just right off the bat throwing money at whatever the price of the coin is.
personally i find investing in crypto market to be quite sufficient with the profits gained its honestly sometime outweight trading that I think such labeling worth nothing but I guess its good to identify capability based on these categories even though most of people probably are flexible in their roles.

its tough question but my take is that an unexplored skill of your interest or I can say hobby, can't always be monetized, sometime there's harsh truth that maybe our hobby, that supposedly if become our dream job can be the best job of our life, isn't really the thing that get us to survive and living the life that we are in.
I mean if you are truly skilled at your unexplored skill that you've been dreaming of you can be trying to offer a service being a freelancer, you will have better realistic view of the world and whether your unexplored skills truly matter.
there are many people that willing to have the job that they don't like just to get paid and survive, there are many of such people, but of course if you somehow find some opportunity with your unexplored skill and sees that you can make it, you can try it out there's no wrong in trying after all its hard to shake off the thoughts of fulfilling that dream as you said.
260  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum vs Solana on: March 29, 2024, 08:56:51 AM
Ethereum is not just like Bitcoin that it will surpass  too fast but Ethereum is slowly moving forward but it is very important to have Ethereum nowadays cause it will help us having big profit in the future. That's why many investors buy Ethereum nowadays cause they will know that even though the price is slow in increase but it will surely increase in the end of the day. Nothing is impossible in crypto even solana can make us a good profit before sure but not just Bitcoin but still we can have a profit.
to be honest OP should understand his own risk appetite whether fast paced investment is of his interest or is it slow paced investment but will yield a more sure reward at the end of the investment.
solana so far as I've seen from it's chart has been showing massive growth but this could also means two thing, solana already reached its peak and will probably hardly climb up again or it will have really fast bullrun in the future considering its nature and the hypes revolve around the coin itself, the entire meme community nowaday fixated on this chain meaning more demand for solana but ethereum also have no shortage of such projects.
so its really depend on the safe side it'd be great if the investment can be divided equally between the two considering both are just as good anyway.
but if anyone thinking of interacting with solana dapps for the sake of getting airdrop or trying out their speculation with meme coin of course solana might look a little more interesting since we all know etheruem for interaction with most of the dapps cost a ton.
