Metaverse is not a still thing like that, just like how ICO is not, sure ICO was a big deal back in the day but how many projects really do it nowadays? Not many of them do. Meta will become a thing again in the future if Facebook really does manage to make one that is realistic, but aside from that I do not think that it would be real.

Even something that would work with VR, and give you a semi decent look on where you are, could make it better, like you log in, and you work there like it’s your business. But in reality, we all know that it’s not going to be a high end thing for now, that is why we gave up, and even the biggest names of metaverse are not getting attention these days.

I believe that politicians are people who shouldn't be politicians, nobody in the world who could become politician should become a politician in order to save the world. In order to become a politician, you should be looking to either get the like from your higher ups to be positioned in a place, or you should be getting some votes from the people meaning you should try to be a populist to be voted in there.

This means you need to build a character that would be liked and say what people want to hear. In reality, a politician should be someone who would progress a nation even while others are rejecting the idea, because if you could progress a nation further in the face of backlash, only that will improve it.

I think the guy can win the case because he look so dedicated to take this case in the court and then the lottery company also offer him money to stop him.

It happened to me before on a faucet/gambling site. The winning is kinda big but when im about to withdraw it, it says pending. I've waited for more than a day. I return to the site and I wonder my account were logged out so I login in again but I can't do it anymore.

I suspect that they ban my account without letting me know the real reason.

I don't know, maybe because they are a scam? Or should I say doing a selective scamming only since their site is still active until now and some users are not complaining.

We can try to report them. If only I have the money I will do what the guy did in the story. I wouldn't mind wasting energy and money but what important for me is that I can take my revenge and the scam site will be close down.

That's something that should impact the thinking of someone who knows about finance and long term fundamentals of things. Someone who is a newbie would look at the chart, and see that it should be growing x10+ each time a bull run happens, and expect at least 200k, probably closer to 400k when the next bull run happens, and if that doesn't happen then they will think that they were misled.

Unfortunately we are not going to grow that big each time, it's growing bigger meaning the same, or even more money that you put in each cycle, could take it only a certain point. Growing from 1 dollar to 100 dollars was 100x, but it required less money than growing from 10k to 20k which was only 2x.

The problem with trading high cap coins like btc and eth is that their minimum is also high and if you place a low amount it will mostly be ignored. If you are a small trader I think it will be better if you will also choose smaller coins so that you are sure that you can trade on them consistently.

Small coins are also perfect for short term trades and not for hodling because we don't know what the future awaits them. Using stable coins in our trades is also great so that we can protect our profit from the effects of volatility. Leverage trade and other unusual/complicated terms are only for advance traders so they are not advisable for now in the OP.

There are too many people who think that their investment is the one that will be the hidden gem, you could find 1000 different people who will shill 1000 different coins or tokens that will be the hidden gem that's going to be their thing.

We all know that it's not going to be like that and we are going to end up with something that is going to end up with a good amount of drop in value and all these people will be upset about people not investing into their good project instead of realizing they invested into something that was bad. This causes them to not learn any better, and then invest into things popular, instead of fundamentally good things.

Unfortunately crypto gives people a type of power that they have never received before, allowing to build their own markets. Even though hedge funds and bigger players started to go in, crypto is famously belongs to people, even when those big players joined, we ruled the market and we decided where it will go.

It means it doesn't follow any of the traditional market rules, and all based on hype and opinion. This is why there are a lot of people who uses that power and gets greedy with it and end up losing money because of it. If you are too greedy when the market already gave you a lot, you are going to end up with a big loss for sure, there is no return from that.

The trick is, when you are creating a new world, a world where things are constantly progressing, you are going to have a lot of people who will be against it, and I mean a ton of people, and some will take it even 100+ years back if they could, given power. However overall the world will grow and progress for sure. This is not just in social sense, it is also economical sense as well. We are living in a world where it is certainly expensive and having hard time, but there is no doubt that even a homeless person right now lives a better life than a blacksmith 1000 years ago did.

Because, we have improving technology and life standards. So, I am having hard time with "basic needs" maybe today, but it is clear that we are not going to really be denying the fact that everything we have in our homes could make kings of old times jealous of what we have. Even the tech I use to write this message is amazing.

Unfortunately there aren't enough money to create a gap between low-medium and then high earners. People are moving towards a world where the owners would make as much as possible, but the employees are close to each other. Long gone the days where you would live a good life if you studied in college, or have some expertise in a field, everyone is making close to each other these days.

In my nation someone with minimum wage and someone who makes 4x more than minimum wage do not live a very different life, one cares about their money a bit more of course, but the other doesn't live like kings neither, it's definitely very close.

The other difference is that even though bitcoin could be tracked, you could maybe never know which person an address belongs to. Some addresses could be found, but there are still so many wallet address' that we do not know who it belongs to, which means that it would not be possible for anyone to know what we are spending our money on. That type of privacy is also a big thing, in regular life fiat is tracked very carefully, hell even the money we own have numbers on it, so it can be tracked however we want to.

This is why bitcoin is far better, it is truly decentralized and that gives us a good power and that means it is going to work out in the end for bitcoin and beat fiat clearly.

Yeah you are right, if we were in a bull run, the merge would have increased the price of ETH  a ton, and people would be cheering for it, because during the bull run whatever you do is considered to be a good thing. But, because we are in a bear market right now, it's obvious that we are not going to really get anything special out of it, and that kind of upsets me.

The same thing that would be good in the eyes of many people, could become an unimportant thing suddenly because of the market condition. I hope that one day we will get over this, and be in the bull run again and we could see how great ETH could become, 10k+ price is not impossible for ETH in the next 2-3 years.

In last few years we have too many complaints about things especially when winner is from Big three countries then things are more controversial which are creating mess up between many countries, and they need better clarification about this all here today we have another big problem which is surely needs to be settled by ICC because I was reading on social media many big names from Australia, England and few other countries were also feeling they need to be more clear despite having off the field talk which can create more issues for this game.

Even yesterday India won and now result is not going to change but here empires done few mistakes which they have done in ODI CWC against New Zealand in favor of England today we have these against Pakistan in favor of India like no ball was given after order by Kohli and then if this was no ball then on next ball Kohli was bowled out and why he allowed having three runs even rules clearly saying this was dead ball, so this is surely questionable thing which needs to be settled on ground with presence of mind and or by the help of referee.

That is sort of what happened to me. I started trading on the early days of crypto world, around 2014 and there wasn't this many coins available back then, not sure if we even had token world at all just yet back in those days. However, when you were trading since the options were low, that meant you could trade on things that wouldn't really be outside of the trading scope, we all traded the same things.

This caused some of them to have pump and dump or have some problems a lot easier because the aim would be on one of them eventually. After losing a bit of money on them, I focused simply on bitcoin and long term investment, I eventually restarted trading with small amounts again, but took me years to get back.

USD "may" look better compared to other currencies, but it is still worse than btc in my mind. If I was offered $1000 worth of USD or same amount in BTC, I would always pick btc, and would keep that in my wallet.

I rather end up with something that could gain value in the long run, even if USD is losing value slower than other currencies, it is still losing value and that is a big deal. What you can buy with $100 today can't be really same next year with the same $100 and that is why I would prefer to have bitcoins. Do not be fooled by USD doing better than other currencies, those are all fiat it is competing with, and that is a big problem.

If we take the question at hand, then we can easily say that we are not going to get our mnemonic cracked or anything like that, it's impossible and the power that is required to crack that would be bigger than any server I know of, and if anyone could have done that then I would assume it would have been the famous big wallet of satoshi and not some 300-400 dollar account.

However, about the fact that it was cracked into and money was stolen, I agree that some token situation, or some other way it was designed to get the owner participate a bit was involved, that way they could socially hack your cooperation and then get it directly from you.

It's not really similar because in this situation there is no war, it was the pandemic that caused people to print money. And this time around there is no "coming back from war" type of extra jobs. Back in 50's and 60's USA lived the richest period of its life. Because, tech was improved enough to actually do something with the man power, and since men came back from the war, there were a lot of people willing to work.

This created a boosting economy where there were new things all the time, and they were all working to get better, and there was money to be spent as well. This time, there is none of them, just a handful of wealthy people becoming even wealthier.

I don't know about Pope, but the patters that I watch is the resistance and support, if there is a good amount of resistance and support that market fails to break, that means we could trade in between them to make a good return and that's not too bad, but if we are talking about a situation that breaks them all the time, that is bear or bull market and that is usually scarier and people don't know what to do.

Right now, we go in between 18k and 21k, if you could buy at 18k and sell at 21k and keep repeating that, you would make a lot of profit. Some people did that already and got good profits, without waiting anything, just buy at support, sell at resistance, as simple as that.

I think 15k will not happen neither. We have already reached bottom if you ask me and from here on out we are going to just draw to these levels and go up and keep repeating that until it starts on a bull run and goes super high. When that happens it's going to be from these places and not anywhere lower.

People are expecting even bigger drawback so it would be easier to go up, but we already got here from 60k+ levels so we do not really need any bigger drawback. It's already under 19k and reach this under 19k a few times already, and each time it went higher, I believe that we are going to keep having that and nothing more. This is of course just a guess, nothing guaranteed.

I do agree that we do not know the time when it will repeat itself, but I know that it will definitely happen eventually. This is why I think investing right now is such an easy decision, it should be reaching to a level where it could be a lot higher, and that would be seriously good for our wealth, and we do not have to do anything about it, the result is already there, you just buy right now, and wait for it to go up just like everyone expects it to go up and you will profit from it.

I believe that this is the best decision of my life, I am going to profit from it very easily and it will not take too long neither, just a few years and I will have a great return.

I guess there are some people who like to make these type of bearish claims, there are some people in the fiat world who like to make these type of bearish calculations and predictions as well, and since fiat world does have 2008 or 2022 type of years here and there, they are sometimes right.

Like the famous Michael Burry or something, he knew the 2008 crisis long before anyone else, and everyone thought he would be a smart person who knows trading very well, but in reality he just thinks everything will fall at all times and he was right very huge time on that particular subject. Some people are just bearish on trading, and try to make money on that.
