If it's who to fear, I think we should fear the exchanges. They're considered the whales too in the market so, it's two way for them and they can manipulate the markets anytime they badly want to.

But the good thing is that everyone is starting to learn how dangerous they could be. And whether they've got safu or any fu feature they've got to give confidence to their users.

Everyone has that idea now if you don't own the keys, you don't own your coins and we always say that.
2602  Economy / Speculation / Re: The world is not doing well on: November 10, 2022, 09:07:08 AM
Most of us now say:

  • I wish I had more fiat to buy more bitcoins.
  • I wish I had sold Bitcoin a year ago, I am now poor and afraid to sell my coins.

Feelings now are regret or fear, both of which are good indicators that the downward cycle is over and beginning to stabilize.
Changing sentiments are related to price and economic conditions.
That's always the case. When we're on the bull run, we tend to think of a much higher price before we sell but what happens is that we miss the top or near to it.

And when the bear market comes, that's what we feel and regrets of not selling around 2x-3x of the current that we've got. It is why it's good to remember that if we're in profit, sell.
2603  Economy / Economics / Re: Can our work be turned into a full-time investment? on: November 10, 2022, 07:38:47 AM
Under the current situation, many companies are facing bankruptcy or layoffs at any time, and we do not know what we will face tomorrow.
Do we need to switch our jobs to online jobs or a full-time investment in cryptocurrency?
Investing doesn't mean that you need to exert the same force and effort just as you're working for a company. Wise people keep both until they're able to survive for so long daily with what they have made with their investments.

If you were fired by the company, would you still find a job you love as quickly as possible?Or you might choose to relax your mind and look for work again after a while.
I'll take my time to relax and at the same time upskill so that I'll get paid higher than the last time my company has fired me. It doesn't sound good if the next employer you'll have or for the next job interview you'll have,you'll say that you've been fired.

That's why, unwinding would be a good thing to do just after that frustration.

Do you have better advice for work?
Work while you can but don't forget to make investments because you won't be working forever.
2604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who are those people that you don't want them to know you are a gambler on: November 10, 2022, 06:27:10 AM
There is a negative image of gamblers surely. It is because of number of reasons and society does not consider these people as decent people. One of the reasons I can think behind this is movies where these people are show as bad people meeting bad results at the end of their life.
And that is because of the act of those irresponsible gamblers and that has given them the impression that when someone admits that he's a gambler, he's no decent person.

And that impression lasts until now and still also being shown by another batch of irresponsible gamblers and that makes them think that if you're a gambler, you're not better than them.
2605  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 5 Bear Market Mistakes to Avoid on: November 09, 2022, 10:49:40 PM
Panic = FOMO

That's the problem for many traders and investors. It's a bear market that we don't know when it will be on the bottom and when it will be stopped.

Too hard to say when there are too many incidents happening just like the FTX/Binance matter that we're seeing right now.

I did not expect also the Binance-FTX latest news. Binance will further cement their position in this market.
A multi-billion dollar company but decided to sell it to rival business company.

At one point being a trader myself, I can say, I am still guilty of one of the things listed by the OP.
I guess, from time to time, we can still feel those emotions as we travel this journey of being a trader.
It is not always we are confident with our decisions, because factors are changing every time.
Well, we've got some updates that it's no longer going to be bought by Binance. I guess CZ has already given his rich counterparts the cheap market and they're all about to grab it now.

He's done well.

Kidding aside, that's really some news there and everyone would have the idea on what CZ is doing. It's not only for the whales but it's for everyone to grab this sale in the market.
2606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 09, 2022, 09:53:09 PM
Looks like Dwight Howard wasn’t able to convince the Golden State Warriors to offer him a contract. I’m a bit surprised nobody in the NBA wanted to sign him. He’s still one of the best bigs in the league in my opinion. Instead, he’ll be playing for the Taoyuan Leopards in Taiwan. He’d better be careful over there and not get himself into a Griner situation. I bet he absolutely dominates that league though.
I was also surprised that no one has taken him. One of the best players in the league and then still no team would like to take him. He's by far one of the best assets that any team can have but sure they don't have him.

Or I think that there were some teams that have already shown interest on taking him but it is that he has signed first with T1 League for the Taoyuan Leopards.

While another player from another league which is from CBA, Tacko Fall is rumored that will be taking back by a team for NBA. It's still a rumor though.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that Dwight Howard is one of the best players in the league.  In his prime he was an important asset but there's a reason that no team has picked him up yet.  At 37 and 20 years in the NBA he has a lot of wear and tear on him.  Good for him though.
I've said that because I'm really looking at him as one of the best and that's okay if we're different on that matter.

Whenever a player grows older and he's not that on his prime anymore, no team would be interested on you anymore. And I guess this is where most of the players will be going when they're on those range of ages.

To go into other leagues where they'll be treated like the kings and superstars while being on that team that taken them.
2607  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Vs Cash which is more secure on: November 09, 2022, 08:50:27 PM
Security in cash is all about secured on its value and it's also made by the government, that's security.

While for bitcoin, its network is secured and thanks to the miners and nodes providers out there to maintain its security.

Cash transaction would have been a perfect option for 100% anonymous transaction but it cannot be sent to some one who is afar off. Bitcoin stands out as the perfect option not as an anonymous tool but as a private coin with no central server.
This is actually true, terrorists are using cash and I don't understand why there would always be those "experts" that revert this idea for bitcoin. Although it's a fact that it's really been used in the dark places.
2608  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Coins on an exchange, any exchange, are never safe on: November 09, 2022, 07:59:53 PM
Every day it seems a new story emerges about an exchange going bankrupt. Has been a recurring pattern since the Mt. Gox collapse. Why, with so many examples of failures, do people continue to keep their money on these? You don't own crypto if you have "coins" on an exchange, you have an IOU from a business that may or may not even be solvent.
Yes.

It's still that there are many people that do keep their funds on exchanges. And they don't know until when an issue about them is going to pop just like what happened for FTX.

While there's no issue yet, they're just leaving it there as if there's really no problem at all. But it's true that, you never hold your keys there if you allow them to keep it for you.

pls put a brother true,if am too early to invest or not
While most of us already had that plan for long term like more than 10 years from now, so it's up to you think that if an early of a decade from now on is too early to invest or not.

The reality will be painful for most that don't consider buying bitcoin as early as they can do right now. Because we'll see how it goes based on the halving cycles and that will be higher as a fact.

There will be bumps and roller coaster road because it won't be a straight line going up there.
2612  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Reminders to all Crypto Lovers on: November 08, 2022, 09:26:59 AM
Yup and I don't see it on his list and that's why it's the first thing that has popped to my mind when I've seen all of these schemes that he has listed.


If you read his post carefully, you can see that he is referring to scams in P2P trading and not the crypto market in general. If we talk about scams in the market, there are hundreds of types of scams that we will never list them all.
That makes sense but it's also a good to remind people about this scam as its interaction is also peer to peer.

Don't forget to include the popular giveaway scam. The one that's not only popular in different social medias but also nin various messaging channels.

The scam goes with, they'll say that "if you send this xx money, you'll receive back more xx money as giveaway into your address."
This giveaway scam was very popular a few years ago, can anyone still be fooled by this giveaway model? why is it so easy for people to trust a system like this that someone will give money if he sends coins first.

Never had a P2P transaction through Binance, and this was totally new to me, the lesson is that scammers will always be everywhere always trying to take advantage of people who aren't careful and easily trust others from internet.
Sadly, yes!

There are still people that can be scammed by that. Remember the fluctuation of newbies coming in to the market is a lot last year and you can see that there have been victims of it for the last bull run.

And there will still be those that will be new victims because that's how they're doing it, to trick the newbies and not the old ones.
2613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I won $128,000 and it's been a week waiting for game provider verification on: November 07, 2022, 09:15:25 PM
Hi all - so I have been playing at smaller crypto casino for a few years now. They have a TRX site and a USDT site. I have always played at the TRX site and have always had no issues with withdrawals etc. (Largest was around $26K USD)

I've started playing the USDT side recently and a week ago won $128K USD playing a few different Habanero and CQ9 games. I am waiting just over a week now with the casino telling me they are waiting for a verification report from the game provider and then they'll release my funds.

Not gonna lie I am getting worried and wanted to ask if anyone else has had a similar experience or may have some insight. Thanks in advance!!
What casino is that? They usually do that when the player wons a big amount just as yours. Give them first the benefit of the doubt and let them check all of those reports or what so they can verify your win.

If you've done nothing wrong then you're a legitimate winner of that game and on their casino.

There's nothing to worry about if that casino has a good reputation and you've been playing there long time ago but it's better to give that name.
2614  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Friends and Family members want me to invest for them, help! on: November 07, 2022, 10:38:33 AM
In my country up to 7 people I knew very well ( friends and family ) want me to help them invest money in crypto, after telling them the risk involved and how it will be better if they learn themselves they turn the idea down..

Now they want me to invest their own money on coins and they aren't ready to choose the coins they will like themselves.

After thinking this through and through I started feeling like they are doing this to hold me responsible if something goes wrong.

Is my thoughts right? If you are in my shoes what will you do?
You're thinking it right. That's what they want to happen for sure as you take into account if ever what the value projected by those coins that they've chosen don't go accordingly to what they have expected.

You guide them with everything and let them handle all of those important things like keeping the private keys and their wallets.

Don't be associated with any of those as you already have that gut and trust it.

This I think the most common one and probably the easiest to get remembered on.

Seriously has anyone fall or experience to romance scam situation?
I've seen just this year that there were several old folks that have fell for it. It's a sad truth but even there are a lot of people who are aware of this scam.

There goes those people that still fall for it.

Russel Westbrook is having a good game. 12 point in 5/6 of shooting and it is just the start of the second quarter. I bet on cavs here and my bet is looking bad. The score is just close though, so there is still a good chance I can still win this game.
It's currently on the half time and the scores aren't that bad at all. 64 and 58, 6 points lead by Lakers. The three contributors have got good points and contributions, AD, Lebron and WB.

Good luck on your bet but too many things that can still happen at the last 2 quarters.

2618  Other / Off-topic / Re: Are they set a broker in my pc and stealing my data ? on: November 06, 2022, 08:49:00 PM
There's a reason why runtime broker is showing and there's likely an app that forces it to appear. There are viruses that are attacking the hardware and if you've reinstalled/reformatted your PC already and yet it still exists.

You need to replace your hard drive or ssd.

Windows 10 has windows defender, try to scan it there first and if nothing has been found, use another anti-virus like malwarebytes or eset nod32.
2619  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it best to have a personal trading strategy? on: November 06, 2022, 01:16:12 PM
One of the problems of personal trading strategy is that it need to be evaluated constantly to cross check if it is still active for a better analysis.
All of the strategies that you'll try in trading will have to be evaluated by you as you're the one who tests and tries it.

And if it's not showing good results, you just evaluate it that it's not for you and you have to try another strategy that will work perfectly for you.

Just keep on testing strategies that could be the best for you as you trade it personally and work on it as your personal strat to work with.

Yup! it's only you who can say if the strategy that you are using will work or if you need to adjust and change it from time to time.

A lot of patterns you can look upon but it's always depending on how you take your position and how you execute your strategy.

More on self-assessment and how will you keep improving your strategy to a much better and fit with your trading styles.
It's easy to assess ourselves if the strategies we're testing are working for us but if not, it's better to stop it but keep on finding the strategy that will suit your way of trading.

Don't give up if you want to be a profitable trader because not everyone will be someday and it's not that easy. Those who don't give up and find their best strategies to adopt are the ones who are likely to make from it.
