I can't really stress how important this is, it is going to be quite a big deal when you consider crypto is not as easy as you imagine it is for some people and how scared they could become. I know it is normal for us but they are not that normal and that is the problem. I believe that we should give them some slack and teach them how to be a bit more relaxed when it comes to this.

Obviously it is not going to be a simple thing but it is not going to be impossible for them to learn neither, so if they are doing a mistake by not understanding 5k drop is not a big drop, then the smarter decision would be just focusing on how to make them better, not to give up on them.

That is the thing I do not understand about regular people who are against renewable energy, for the time being nothing will change in your life, in fact you will have absolutely nothing changing in your life at all. In fact, it is such a great thing that you could spend a bit of your money to put solar panels on your roof and NEVER have to worry about energy prices again, you will be using your own energy.

But for some reason, people defend the oil giants who ruin the earth by spilling oil into oceans and they call the climate change people crazy, all because political agenda suits them that way, and to demonize the other side, and in return destroy the world for absolutely no reason other than the guy who you do not vote for supports it.

I would guess that the best thing to do right now would be holding fiat for spending, not for emergency and those are different things. If you live in Japan and have Yen that you need to spend everyday, that is your spending and that is not an emergency fund, it would be considered the same thing.

However, if you have Yen in the bank account and put it on savings etc etc for a "rainy day" then it would be different story because you still have Yen in that situation but you are not planning on spending that unless something bad happened. Which is why I highly suggest that you should have pure crypto for all your investments and emergency, but your spending could be whatever fiat you want.

That is a very important thing to learn, it allows you to make money without worrying about what is going to happen and that means we are going to end up with a good amount of profit by just having the patience to do it. I am not saying that we shouldn't worry about the situation because in the end it is of course bad to see bitcoin price going down, but anyone who sold recently just because it dropped to under 19k prices saw that it was a small detail and we are back on over 22k thanks to that.

Some of those people will not sell again if it drops, in fact some may even end up buying and that way we are going to end up with a good result for sure. Have patience, and make more money, that is how crypto works.

After watching this final match if someone still insisting Pakistan is quality team then surely I have feeling he needs to be rethought about this because they have never been quality team they never play with planning or better strategy mostly they have just few tasks after achieving them they are benched of crap players which are not able to give their best in big matches today their fields were completely crap and bowling were also out of order with Babar Azam's few decisions I was feeling they are playing to give this trophy to Sri Lanka as they were not in game for win.

They dropped many good players at home just for few players those were in with their personal links not with their ability of game which is surely talk able but no one want to talk about this because there is no merit all things are working on relationship or personal likes and dislikes which is the biggest issue in this board many were feeling with the arrival of Ramiz Raja things could be changed but nothing positive happening all in dark age.

I understand the keen interest towards these because I have been part of a few as well and found out it was bad and left myself but the best educator is actually doing something and realizing why it is bad rather than just hearing about why it is bad from other people.

We can talk about how that is bad as long as we want and in the end we are going to end up with a big loss no matter what, hence it is not going to be acceptable for OP or anyone who wants to try it out to just hear it from us. Just go join one, and see why we disliked it, but at the very least make sure that you do not spend all of your money on what you hear there so you won't have to start from scratch.

I am not agreed with you about this as Afghan players are trained and raised in Pakistan if you have any link then please send me because mostly they play in Sharjah UAE or India where they have a ground for playing test matches as home ground, and they were mostly stayed in these two countries before Taliban era in Afghanistan like the UAE and India just because of this please not spread fake news without any proof.

They play their first test match against India as well, and they have good base in India instead of Pakistan which is well known by all cricketing community I agree about these associates never expect any positive thing from ICC as they are benched of crap peoples which are not interested in development of this game like we have FIFA and few other games which are spreading drastically around the world with strong system and better ideas.

Influence of psychology part is not that easy, not many people could control their own mental state and that results with them usually losing money. I believe that the best way to make money is to find a good working strategy and then keep doing that without any mistake.

Simplest one I know is buying and holding, you may think it is simple but there are so many people who gets scared and sell when they wanted to hold and they lose money, whereas I get to keep it long term and always end up in profit, no matter what happens. Find the right strategy for you and keep doing that, eventually you are going to end up profiting a good amount without a worry, just do not stray away from it.

I would guess that staking and even gambling would be addition to this right? I mean crypto is not just there to hold and do nothing, if we are talking about bitcoin then we could invest that bitcoin into something else and earn bitcoin returns just like how you would with bitcoin savings account.

Like for example freebitco.in has 4%+ interest rate, which means that if you invest 100k worth of bitcoin then you will earn 4k+ money from it by the end of the year. That's the important aspect of the situation and I agree that it is going to be quite difficult and tough to overlook such income if you are planning on holding bitcoin for the long term.

That's mainly because of low volume, low liquidity and also low marketcap as well. Bitcoin has higher in all these categories than all altcoins, most of them combined even. This means that it would be very hard to make it go up all by yourself, but there are coins where you can literally buy 51% of the coin with just a few million dollars or less, entire out of top 1000 section is like that.

This is why when you are investing into small altcoins you should be trusting that everything will be alright and hope that it will get higher, if someone attacks it and buys it all, or even worse sells a bunch of it, then one person could ruin it for most altcoins.

I do believe that it is luck+insider info together. I mean even my friend who is not even rich ended up with some insider info once and turned his 160 dollars into over 2k+ dollars, all thanks to knowing what the project was planning on doing next, and that was super easy. Think about being a literal billionaire and having all the people in the world trying to impress you to make more money, they would end up with telling you all the secrets in order to make some profit.

This is why I believe that we should be considering the current situation as a big deal for us, since we could be involved as much as they can in the crypto world, when we couldn't in the wall street world.

I agree, ETH is the best altcoin there is already, and there are only a small amount of stuff staying in between of ETH being first and above bitcoin as well. I believe that blockchain is the most important technology we got with bitcoin and not bitcoin itself.

It is no surprise that ETH is using and utilizing the blockchain technology even better than bitcoin does, and that means we are going to see amazing things happen in the future. When eth creates blockchain that is perfect all around and has no problems, no fees, no waiting, easy to create projects etc etc all done perfectly then we are going to end up seeing something much better and maybe even first place.

I believe that they will do everything in their power to make sure that they can keep it rolling no matter what. Also the idea that Vitalik could roll it back is a mistaken one, ethereum is a decentralized project and NOBODY has any control over it, vitalik can't roll it back if he wanted to, we could all "offer" a rollback and if it is accepted then it would be rolled back, but if it is not then it won't be.

The only good advantage that Vitalik has is that he is known as the godfather of eth so if I offer it people may reject it, but if he offered it then people may accept the same thing because of his influence, but it still needs to be accepted by all.

How could it be? The hype needs to be bigger than the supply and that rarely ever happens. Like for example with Axie Infinity, it went on for months and people made money with it, but the more you breed the more axies you would have and that means eventually it reached to a point where there weren't enough people, and they all had to make a lot less in order to continue, you couldn't pay people the same amount when it is just 10k people playing vs when there are 1 million players, in that case there would be too much SLP on the market and that would drop the value.

Yes, breeding is good but people will want to breed to a point, the more players there are, the breeding didn't increase accordingly.

The last sentence is the most important one. I agree that it is a great way of trading and making money if you know what you are doing, but if you do not know what you are doing then it is not going to be that much of a great thing.

Best thing about trading is that if you know what you are doing, then you could literally stay at home, in front of your PC, have fun and make a living out of it, the easiest but also most stressful job but definitely something people would prefer over their own job, because going to office is usually horrible, staying at home is amazing. On the other hand if we are talking about a newbie trader, this will definitely be something wrong and would take a long time to master.

It is not a "saving the world" in quotes, it is actually saving the world for sure. I mean you could believe that the world is in danger or not, but you could believe that it is cleaner, there is no fact disputing that, renewable energy is cleaner and why wouldn't we want cleaner world?

What would make it so bad if we had a world where we didn't hurt the world we live in? Why is that so bad? I agree that financially it is not possible as of right now, but moving towards that small by small doesn't sound like a bad thing neither.

Plus, the climate change is something we all have been warning about, and yet nobody does anything about it, when there are fires all around the world and oceans rise to a level where cities are gone, will it be okay if you just came here and say "sorry I didn't believe it"? That would be too late and it is not enough, we do not want you to realize your mistake, we want to prevent you from realizing it.

We should have done it when it was higher, if you start shorting now when the price is already lower, that will not help you at all, it would hurt your finances more than it helps you. This is why there is no need to keep on making shorting calls at the current price.

I am not saying go buy some long futures, but holding bitcoin right now would be smarter decision, start shorting a bit when it's pumped, usually that means it will start going lower, but doing it now is not the case. I personally hold bitcoin and do not sell it or short it at any situation, I just dislike the idea of bitcoin going down and not bet on it at all.

I agree, governmental jobs are a requirement for a government to continue existing. What crypto does is making sure that business' do not pay very low salary to people. I remember back in the day when I was doing my current job in the crypto field, but it was very early days and I was still looking for a 9-5 office job those days, and the offers were usually half of what I make here, and that's why I rejected them all, and even laughed at the face of few of them for their offer.

At the end of the day, I managed to make sure that this job is the best job I will ever have, and ever since that day, I have been so so so happy everyday that I have my job.

The title is fine because money laundering is still an illegal activity. They trade dirty money for a clean one only to get away with their crimes but luckily they are still caught. I don't think a thread/news like this will give btc a negative impression as long as the reader will understand what they are reading properly. It is clearly said arrested for illegal trade and not arrested for doing a normal/legal trade but even if the 4 guys didn't do money laundering, what they did is still wrong because it's already declared that btc on their country is banned but they didn't obey the rules.

They use btc because it's online and it's also kinda anonymous so they think they won't get traced by the authorities.

I would agree that if you are in profit then you should take out your profit and invest into something else. I never trusted this ever since it was created, they somehow managed to get the trust of some people somehow, but it is obvious that if they have waited years before such a horrible mistake happened, they could do the same and you would never know when it will happen and how it will happen again even if it will ever happen again.

This is why the best thing to do right now would be getting out, invest into something much more safe, this way you would be able to make a profit from another thing without the fear of losing all of your money all over again.
