Danke cygan for die Links, Arte hat eigentlich immer gute Dokus. Werde ich mir morgen gleichmal ansehen.


Danke auch für den Tipp, hab YT downloader mal wieder installiert um die Dokus zu speichern, man weiß ja nie wie lange die Videos online verfügbar bleiben.

Gibt es hier schon eine Liste über die besten Crypto Dokus? Wäre mal interessant zu hören was noch so empfohlen wird.

Wall Street has so many advantages over the ordinary trader from home who just spends a few hours on the weekend to invest his money. A lot of the big investment managers made their fortunes in the 80s and 90s when the margets where booming. They know each other in the industry and have a lot of contacts to the companies they invest in. There were a lot of cases with insider trading that made investors where rich. Back in the days regulation was much more loose than it is today. For the average Joe it is nearly impossible to gain such exposure and compete against the big firms. That is why we shouldn't try and copy the investment system from Wall Street, we should rather try and trade in our own comfort zone.

That's a very nice project. Christmas is such a special time in the year where we are with family, eat very good food and have a lot of presents for each other. It becomes easy to forget about the less fortunate people around us. Every project that helps the homeless should get a lot of attention. In my city we have an a special event before Christmas in the supermarket where you can donate from 5 euro upwards for the Christmas food of poorer people. They make boxes ready and deliver them directly, or have people let them pick up at the store. Food is the most important thing in life and nobody should have to hunger during Christmas. Combing that with crypto currencies is even better. I hope it will be a big success.

Thank you for compiling all the informations about the Oscars 2022. I love the ceremony, seeing all the stars and their excitiment about winning a small Oscar. It's the highlight of any actor in their career. What I find surprising looking at the odds is that there is already a big favourite for each category. There is a huge gap between the first three nominations. I wonder if we can exploit these odds at the moment. Without any official nominations yet everything could still change. Maybe buying some high reward actors now and waiting for the favourite actors until the nominations are made public.

I agree with you that Russia is not going to back down with their pressure towards Ukraine. It all comes down that Putin wants to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO. If Ukraine is going to join than the conflict could escalate quickly. All the sanctions from the West don't seem to have much effect on Russia. The economy is important for Putin, but with rising energy prices Russia should profit from it.
Removing Russia from the SWIFT system is a bad idea in my opinion. We should try and find ways to settle for a compromise instead of escalating it more. Crypto currencies and decentralised ledgers could help Russia to get around all these problems. Isolating Russia more is not a good thing, it will just drive them closer to China.

I am not very familiar with the bitcoin wallets of Satoshi, but didn't he have much more than 320 BTC? I thought that he had thousands of BTC and always wondered why he never used them. It's awesome that we can track the movements of the original Satoshi bitcoins. But who knows if it's really him? For him to really be back I wouldn't want to see his forum account to be active again and writing about crypto currencies. Also, I wonder how many hackers have tried to get access to Satoshi wallets.

Ich verstehe nicht ganz was das eine mit dem anderen zutun haben soll. Klar gibt es immer noch scams und Leute verlieren ihre coins, aber das ist doch nur ein ganz kleiner Teil gemessen an den ganzen Bitcoins in Zirkulation. Jeden Tag werden BTC gehandelt und solange die Inflation steigt werden meiner Meinung nach auch die Bitcoins steigen.

Hast du dich direkt an die USA gewandt wegen deiner Auszahlung? Du wirst bestimmt vorher schon angegeben haben wieviele BTC du besitzt. Ohne statements dass die coins noch in deinem Account waren wird da glaub ich nix ausgezahlt. Aber bist du sicher dass du weiter spekulieren willst? Also mit 20 btc würde ich eher mal ein Haus kaufen oder bauen.

How do you know the bear market is right around the corner? Taking some profits after another rally and a new ATH high can make sense if we need the money for other projects. But if we don't need the money I am not sure that going back into fiat money is the best idea. Inflation is rising all around the world. For 2022 there is no end in sight of rising fuel prices, higher real estate, food and basic resources prices. If these trends continue than holding cash is the worth thing we can do. I am not convinced that bitcoins are going to drop a lot any time soon. Better to keep my coins than being not invested and maybe missing out on another rally.

You are right that the correlation between bitcoins and the alt coins is very high. That is why our investment into crypto currencies should be a large part into bitcoins. The diversification doesn't really work here, but it works in a broader spectrum like you diversify out of stocks, bonds and other investment funds. So bitcoin alone is already a diversification from your conventional assets. In my opinion diversification becomes important again when investing into alt coins, because when one alt coin is going to drop in price then this is not pulling down any of the other coins. Alt coins are much more risky and if we spread out our money across multiple coins the risk profile is much lower.

I am really sorry to hear that. Gambling addiction is a serious issue in today's world. It's very good that you are in recovery, I hope you get all the necessary help you need. A friend of mine had a similar problem, he wanted to stop gambling and kept getting emails from the casinos even after deleting his account. In the end he had to threaten them with a lawyer if they wouldn't stop.
I would also recommend you to complete close your account. It is not okay that you keep getting promotional messages on your current situation. If the customer support team is not solving the issue for you I would also write a letter to them. This is very serious and should be resolved immediately by a serious casino.

This sounds great on paper, but how do we actually convince poor people to try and save some money. There are a lot of different reasons why people struggle to save money. For example, no income, no trust in banks, no regulation of spending habits. A friend of my parents has a buying problem which makes it very hard for her to save any money and accumulate wealth. I wouldn't call her poor, she has a normal car, good clothes and is renting a decent apartment. She is also not middle class because she has no savings. Every month she is in overdraft of her bank account. For years she spents a the money she gets every month. Trying to convince her to set some money aside is fruitless, my parents have tried for many years. It's hard to change a person.

I also don't exactly remember when I first heard about bitcoins. It might have been online in an article or from a friend. But I do remember when I decided I want to get involved with bitcoins. It was in 2016, I made a few lucky bets with my CSGO skins and got scared that I have too much money on my steam account. When I looked for sites to sell my skins I noticed that the withdrawal options included bitcoins, which was faster and without any real fees compared to credit card transactions. After seeing that I really wanted to learn more about BTC and crypto currencies. This was also when I first found out about this forum.

I am sure that bitcoins can influence the local currencies of developing nations. But if this is actually weaking or more a strengthening remains to be seen. Of course the IMF is against crypto currencies because he can't go to national governments and ask for crypto money to lend out to troubled countries. For developing countries with weak local currencies I think they will get positive effects from crypto investments. For example if a country struggles with inflation their currency will fall, but their investment in crypto currencies will not be affected. Its a good way to reduce the dependency on the local economy.

Not sure if the halving cycle is going to continue like that. The biggest drops came from the first three hangings, but now the majority of Bitcoin's are already mined. The amount of btc miners get is very small now, which means that the price can't drop too low, otherwise mining won't be profitable anymore. All the large mining farms have a certain minium price for electricity, hardware and Internet. So if BTC ever drops too low we wouldn't see any new coins coming to the market. That is why the halving cycle should be not so dominant anymore.

These publicity matches are always hard to analyse beforehand, but looking at the results here most of us seem to go with Mike Tyson. Not sure if this match is going to be gigged. Logan Paul is in it for publicity and fame. Even if he loses he will have achieved that. Mike Tyson is more in it for the money and with all his experience he will not give up easily.  Honestly I wish we could have seen Mike Tyson to fight these YouTubers during his prime time. All the fights would have ended in a knockout, would have been hilarious.

That is a really nice raffle - Thank you

Unfortunately my two lucky number "69" and "13" are already picked 

Will try my luck with "80"

80 - Mauser

Good luck all

That is probably one of the most trading recommendation we can try and follow. Together with not trade based on your emotions thess are the two tips I try and keep in mind every time I check my coins.
It's hard to control my thoughts and drift into the what could have been scenarios. When looking at very successful alt coins my brain always asks why didn't I invest in them. Unfortunately we can't turn back time and there will always be better decision we could have done. But we need to look to the future and should learn from our mistakes, not wishing we never had done them in the first place.

Unfortunaley this is still very common today. Streamers seem to abuse the fact that they seem much more approachable than the average TV program. During breaks we instantly know when advertisings are running and when they stop. During streams it's not so easy to see, there might be a small symbol appearing in the corner of the stream, but it's not always clear. Streamers don't really need to state when they are paid to show casino games. That's why we as gamblers should be very careful on believing what we see online. Most of the big winnings are rigged and not really fair. When it comes to Youtube and streaming we should have the same critical thinking as when watching ads on TV.

I think it comes down to who do we ask. If we ask crypto investors in what they believe more, the majority will say BTC. But if we ask the average person on the street it might be an older person who believes more into USD. For the old generations when it comes to money they need to feel it, have a physical wallet in their pockets with cash. Over the time this will change. I like the 1 million comparison. It might seem like a big stretch right now. But who would have thought when bitcoins were at 100 or 1,000 USD that it would go above 60,000? I am sure we will see much higher levels. Its just a matter of time.

I fully agree with you, the investors who bought over the last few years regularly bitcoins and held them made the most return. Sure when you see the price chart and you would have always bought below 35,000 USD and sold above 60,000  would have made a much higher return. But how do you know the levels before hand? We can't. After the rally at the start of the year I told myself if BTC ever drops below 20,000 USD again I would sell all my stocks and investment funds and would buy bitcoins. Unfortunately it didn't drop so low. Just holding is the best approach in my opinion.
