Centralized exchange are just at people's risk, but most of them are to be trusted, but it is better I store my crypto on my wallet than to live it on any centralizer exchange, decentralize exchanges charges less and you are always in control of your crypto.
Comparing the liquidity of centralized exchange and decentralized exchange then you would able to tell the differences which CEX are far way more that on what DEX does have which i do say to be pretty normal
since you can really benefit out on some things like trading fiat to crypto and making out conversion directly which you cant really be able to done on dex which its normal that people or the community would be
hanging out to this place most of the time.

Just remember that you shouldnt store your coin on these platforms for too long because you wouldnt know on when they would be hacked and its  just risky for you to consider out on making it as a storage for long time.

We've seen past events and situations about exchange hacks and it ends up for a total wreckage for those people who did deposit on it.
2722  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't give your bitcoins to scammers on: July 23, 2021, 08:59:26 PM
quite surprised that there are still many people who are deceived by the fake giveaway program....even though there's been a lot of news about this kind of fake giveaway, the greedy and stupid ones are still there.  

https://twitter.com/whale_alert/status/1417476350554804227
https://scam-alert.io/scam/1BezossqWVQdbpZQnGogd6Xvp3AMoWDHym

What's even more shocking is when people lose complete sense just because some so-called "celebrity" tweets a similar scheme, only to find out later that their account was actually hacked. I remember some people losing hundreds of thousands in a really basic bitcoin "doubler" promotion posted by Elon Musk and Kim Kardashian. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad that these people blindly follow anything posted by certain accounts and it is very hard to have sympathy. At a certain point these people already had enough money to live on comfortably but essentially ended up gambling small fortunes when somebody claims a preposterous scheme to increase their cryptoassets far beyond what could be considered average.
These are classic schemes way back but due for there are people who are noob on this  market who do just simply believe into those claims and giveaways then there's  still people
who do really fall out for this kind of scam.Its just sad that they would  able to realize when its already too late and if you are aware or just making use of your common sense
then you would eventually able to tell that this offer is really too good to be true which does simply means that it is 100% scam because there's no such thing
about easy money and you should be mindful on things for you to avoid on getting scammed.
Once you do experience loss in scams then you wouldnt really really forget on what you had  done and then you would really be aware on next situation that you might face off and able to avoid it directly.

Being a noob will really be likely have the chance on getting scammed since we dont have enough experience and awareness but not always the case since there are  noobs which are clever and those are noobs who do love to read up community feedbacks and real experiences and with that then you  would really be aware into those schemes.

Its just a matter of sensibility neither you do really mind of on making yourself safe from scams.

Could this be the end up super teams? Likely not but we shall see.

The idea of building a superteam will always be associated with the league while it's moving forward. As I mentioned before way back here, having a set of good role players is much better compare to having 2-3 superstars on a team so I don't really mind these superteams.

I really don't take it as superteams are unbeatable and a sure win to the championship due to several factors such as;

a) injuries and we all saw it these playoffs creating lots of "what if" scenarios
b) underperforming (choke)
c) big adjustment by the opposing team
d) sudden chemistry problem

and many more..

e. personal problems to each other

I have seen this one too to be included on the  list.We've  seen that there are star players on a team but they do really have that limited time between playing completely which i do have doubts that they do have this kind of problem.

Its true that having 2-3 superstars on a team doesnt guaranteed a ring or championship and lots had really hoped for LAC to win up this year but look at what happened?

Not only imagine, how was people's feeling with bitcoin that they bought in 2014 although price is  quite high than $1. I think most people wouldn't imagine this, or imagine that because for me still no one know where bitcoin price is gonna be. Maybe with just grateful if we already sold our coins in cheaper price that now will be the key to help us.
There's no going back because we would just be stressing out ourselves on thinking about the probabilities if we had able to get in on that particular time.

We had missed the train and theres no way for us to go back and only to those who had believed on bitcoin into its earliest days or years would really cherish out on things

that they had able to risk on that particular time but well not all had able to access their coins but for those who had able to then they are really making some big bucks now.
2725  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why newbies lose huge money in trading on: July 22, 2021, 11:32:29 PM
If all the lessons you need about trading is contained in books, I think everyone would have had a shot at trading and be more professional about it. A lot of persons read these days, some would comprehend properly on what is written there and know how to apply it while, others would not but still, you would still fund a good number of those that were able to comprehend still failing at trading. That's simply because, just the knowledge in books on trading isn't all that is to know of the market. The market is constantly evolving and it has tricks about it sometimes. Tricks that you see the right signs for a but or sell market but yet, it turns the other way. Your experience is what you would need to have a go and as such, you've got to be prepared to build them at the expense of some loses. Experience matters a lot in trading.
Theories are good but wont be that sufficient for you to make yourself to be sustainable in the market.You would need to experience things for you to enhance and make you even more good.

Newbie mistakes is something that cant be avoided due to lack of knowledge and of course we are really hunger for making quick bucks and when reality do face them up then thats the only the time they will realize.

We would face up lots of troubles and mistakes in trading because this cant be learned on one day and would take up years and lots of hours to be spend for you to get the idea or on how the market works.
2726  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season Champion: Milwaukee Bucks on: July 22, 2021, 09:59:21 PM
Since he already proved that he can bring a regular NBA team into the Championship, I don't think that he will go to the super team where he does not need to work so hard as he did a few days ago to win another championship. If he stays in the Milwaukee Bucks, that would be a good decision too since he already established great chemistry with his team and the franchise, and also their fans really like him.

This accomplishment is destined to be in him. Not to take the credit away from him but what if Harden and Irving of the Nets were not injured during that time? He may not reach the Finals I think. So with him holding that Larry O'Brien trophy makes his stock goes up and he kept wanting more but I doubt the Bucks can defend the title next year if the Nets are healthy so with that said, if there is an opportunity that he can move to a super team, I think he will do it. Just my two cents.

I agree with you, the Bucks had really struggled in the game 1 and 2 of the ECF Semi Finals. Even if Harden did not play but as long as Irving is healthy, I think the Nets would still win the series. We have Durant and Irving who can score 40 points in a game, so they are really good offensively though their defense is not so good. Anyway, let's just forget about that, let's give this moment to Giannis and the Bucks as they had really work hard for it.
Better team would always win and no matter how good their offense is but it do still lack in defense then it wouldnt be sufficient on beating a certain team which is strong that you.

I wasnt even expecting for Bucks to take this years championship title and im really anticipating for Clippers but they did really choke out? Well, the ball is round and anything could really happen.

Its a well deserved win btw and you can really look into Giannis eyes on being hungry with that title.
2727  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: you are interested low market cap coins that ? on: July 22, 2021, 08:58:37 PM

for now my portfolio is more dominated by big coins like bitcoin, ethereum and BNB. because nowadays it is safer to invest short term. daily trading is better at this time, although the profit earned is small but we can continue to monitor the market and minimize risk
Diversifying isnt bad but be sure to engage with coins which are really worth or does have potential.For now i cant really tell if those projects are worth aside from EOS which i can tell that this is really a good project

but somehow everything would really depend on the demand of the community because no matter how good it is but the interest isnt there then you would really expect that the price would really be that low.

Focusing on top altcoins wouldnt really be a bad choice either but there are people whom do really mind of on expanding out their investment through diversify but of course the risk is more higher too.
2728  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How did you first hear about Bitcoin? on: July 22, 2021, 07:51:39 PM
I had heard about bitcoin for the first time from the internet I was learning about programming language I saw one ad about bitcoin so I thought that I can make my future here and yeah it was amazing I have much fun in this industry and right now I see my future very bright with bitcoin.
When we do talk about future then theres no such thing about assurance or being safe because even you do know bitcoin then you would really need to work hard for you to progress.

The first thing i heard about bitcoin do came to my friend on where he did mention it out and tells me about this forum and i did really able to saw the opportunities that you could

really deal and able to make money if you do know on what you are a doing.You do need to move for you to earn.Yes, this is really an opportunity for us to make things even more better
specially in terms of payment system and also with investment.
2729  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Be a Responsible Gambler on: July 21, 2021, 11:38:11 PM

I have tried gambling and have concluded it's not good for me.Some persons are lucky,while some are not.I am one of the unlucky gamblers,and quiting, is the only option I have if I want to be anything in life.I believe thats the way I can be responsible.I have learnt it through the hard way.We fail to realise that there are some people that seems destined not to gamble,so if you engage in gambling,you are just being a cheerful giver.
I agree with you, they are many people who are always less lucky, with it comes to winning in gambling, they always lose huge amount of money on gambling. Which results to depression and stress.in a situation like this. One question you must ask yourself is, why do you gamble? Do you gamble for fun or to make more money? Because, If you gamble for fun, and lose, it won't affect you that much. Although, i don't think quitting makes one a responsible gambler, because when you quite gambling, you are no more a gambler.


This is me!

Main reason on why i turned my back in gambling because i have lost that much even though i do have in mind that i do play for entertainment or fun but it turns out that

im losing 90% most of the time which i did really realize that gambling isnt for me and from that time, i never intent to touch gambling but several occasions where

you cant really resist temptations but at least you do know on what you are doing or in regarding about your limitations.
2730  Economy / Speculation / Re: Anything particular causing these declines? on: July 21, 2021, 10:35:01 PM
Is it our friend Elon Troll Musk again?


Most probably this guy contributed to huge dump of btc price as well as other cryptocurrency coins, that suffered a lot of times drowning so bad. Though there's no certain fact about the truth, but it was just an ideas which is closer to reality because of his wealth and huge influence. Many people followed him through his success, and maybe this is a serious issues that most people have been fascinated specially on Elon Musk twitts.
This might not be talking directly with Bitcoin but rather with dogecoin where it did jump 10% after a profile pic change? WTF.

2731  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I Don't Want To Hear Anybody Crying When BTC Will Reach 1M Per Coin! on: July 21, 2021, 09:27:50 PM
Maybe it will happen sometime, and maybe not. And that's the problem.
And this is where decisions do really vary from person to person because we dont really have similar point of view in all sorts of things which it isnt really that surprising that

we would really differ on mindset and would create different impression which would result into different decisions or actions to make.So if someone do sees out
opportunity or chance or potential then they would really be making out actions in related to that.

Thing here is that they are already aware that Bitcoin does exist and its up to someone on how they would be thinking it about.
2732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you a gambler? on: July 21, 2021, 08:13:23 PM
I'm not sure if gambling here and there for competition or socially counts in as being a regular gambler but I think it comes into the gambler group if we remove regular from the sentence.

I started gambling back after hearing about it on another forum that was gaming related and mentioned a Dice site that accepted Bitcoin and from there it began.
When we do hear out new things in our ears then that curiosity of ours would really be poked up and this is also the thing i did felt when i do first time jumped in here on crypto space gambling sites

where it turns out the accessibility plus the convenience on making out a deposit without any hassle unlike with fiat ones plus having no kyc which do really sparks out peoples interest.

Being a gambler isnt bad if you do know on how to handle your finances or able to handle out yourself when you do play.
2733  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Should I get a loan? on: July 20, 2021, 11:48:35 PM
~snip

It sounds tempting indeed to get a loan for investment in crypto without interest, this looks like an opportunity not to be missed. I agree with you,
by deciding to borrow money from family, we have to be more careful. If we fail to repay the loan, there will be a commotion in the family, because
money related issues are very sensitive. Actually I prefer borrowing money because of urgency, if only for investing in cryptocurrencies we should
use our own money. It is true that the loan is free of interest, but still borrowing money means that there is an obligation to return it. And there is
no 100% guarantee that crypto prices will go up, what the OP is doing is very risky, let alone borrowing from family. The impact is very big if it turns
out that crypto prices don't go up as we want, we have to think about the worst risk that will happen.

This all depends as to how close you are to your family, if it's a good relation, you might not have to worry too much about it. If you believe in the potential of crypto there's no need to worry about returning the loan because it will go back in amounts that you aren't even expecting.

What you say is true, finally we do have to look at our relationship with our family, if there is a very good relationship and our family trusts us.
There should be no problem if we borrow money from our family, if it turns out that the price of the coins we buy is not what we expected,
we can ask for our family's understanding to give us time to pay it off. Moreover, if it is an investment in potential coins, it should indeed be able
to provide a large profit.

Depends on the member of the family if they werent really be that impulsive when it comes to money since i have seen some  of people whose part of the family had quarrelled and  even
do make out for a long time without speaking or in good terms because of money which i cant really assure that it wont happen..

This is why its better to avoid on borrowing from family or any other people but this isnt actually an issue if you do just know on how to repay those loans

but if you arent that mindful nor responsible enough then better not consider on making this action because you would really just create some problems.
2734  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: This time when bear market comes on: July 20, 2021, 10:34:57 PM
This time totally different from 2018 situation. Still i am beliving that no bear market comes. so what time will come , i think in another 3 months?


You almost got it mate, I think we are about to enter the bear market almost 3 months before you posted the topic. There are so many speculation that the bitcoin will reach new ATH before year end I think this will not come true maybe we are now about to drop to 25k$ because bitcoin now touches 29k$ so bear market is now slowly taking place in crypto market.
Some people never anticipated this because on the time where bitcoin did really able to hit that 60k+ ATH then lots had been hyped up and believing that it could reach out $100k
in no time which this isnt the case that did happen but rather goes the opposite.

Actually i had already anticipated for this thing to happen because ive been here on this market for 6 years and i have seen lots of similar situations to this which
i did make myself numb when it comes to unexpected events on this market.

Bear market is inevitable and i do have a feeling that it is already starting.
2735  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where to seek help if you need; concerned with gambling addiction. on: July 20, 2021, 09:32:55 PM
This is like the third time am seeing a thread talk about Gambling addiction,  does this mean this pandemic has given people a reason to gamble more such that they have forgotten to limit themselves??

If gambling is really an issue talk to some one you trust preferably family or friends because you don't want someone that will look down on you for opening up.
All addictions went up during the pandemic, we must understand that people are social by nature so the lockdowns affected people, now if you were living with your family then this was not as much of an issue but for those living alone this was terrible, this means that we saw an increase in all kind of addictions including but not limited to drugs, alcohol, food, video games, social media and gambling, so this is why it is so important to discuss it as some people may be on the verge to fall into this and we could get to them before they fall even further into those harmful behaviors.
Do you have any source about this matter about raising up addiction percentage since this pandemic?

We can really say that online gambling did really have significant rise in users since people are spending mostly online of their time and even non  gamblers had been hooked up
because of those more screen time.

Addiction is something that can be cured directly or in instant but doesnt mean its not possible.
2736  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: British police seize $408 million and arrest woman aged 39 on: July 20, 2021, 08:11:54 PM
You reminded me One Coin didn't have a blockchain. It was filled with hype publicity and was obviously a ponzi but people flocked to it because they'd fallen for the trap Ruja Ignatova put there. Now I'm thinking the British police didn't arrest Ruja Ignatova so it's another woman or else they'd release big information on the news.

On what point on why they are making that show if they could simply made in silent way if they had already arrested the real one?Its no point that they would really be announcing it publicly

because if they do then they would really be flocked out by those investors who had lost their money in Onecoin.Im not aware on this project though but everyone that do commit

some fraud or crime should really face the consequences and imagine on how big the money had been stole or scam out then 90 years is not enough.
2737  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this a good plan on: July 20, 2021, 07:26:35 PM
Investing in bitcoin is the best plan at first instance and nothing can go wrong with it if you are long term holder.When prices will bounce back to $70k you will feel regret that I should have invested more at prices below.So investment in btc is perfect plan and purchasing at dips serve as an extra bonus with it which you should not miss at all.Keeping in mind the volatility factor and your investment could come up very low and if you can handle all this go on with the same.
To me the best plan right now is to wait and this is because it seems like a dip is coming and this could be a great opportunity to load on more bitcoin, and once you do then the only thing you need to do is to hold those coins, it is not going to be easy because as we know the market does not move in a linear way and it can have extreme ups and downs but if you know about the technology behind bitcoin and you are convinced about it then you can hold your coins through the bad times and enjoy the huge profits you will get during the good times.
Specially now that the market is moving sideways or simply does have minimal volatility which it doesnt really follow any possible Technicals that had been set out
just like mine.

Accumulation level or point is really hard to determine but as we do observe on where the market goes going down gradually which is really hard to be predicted.

Therefore, for those who are eyeing  for some opportunity to get in then its better to wait up a bit before making any positions.
2738  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What does it take for a game to "hook" people on: July 19, 2021, 11:46:00 PM
For me I got hook on gambling games when it is fun, thrilling and exciting.
Come on it isn't just the profit sometimes it is also the feeling of those excitement and fun when gambling.
And also there are times that the environment would also affect it for example lively community where gamblers enjoy to have a little chat with other gamblers.
Those are the ones some of us consider when searching for a site to gamble.

A visitor is much more likely to be mesmerized by gambling in an offline casino. There really is always a great holiday and adventure atmosphere and the staff competently maintains this atmosphere. I think a lot of casino players are more likely to nostalgic the thrill of adventure than gambling itself.
This is correct, when you are gambling online you are the one that is in perfect control as you have complete authority over your environment and the online casino only has a limited control over you, but in a physical casino this is different, every single thing is under their control, this is why people lose a lot more money in physical casinos than in online casinos as they lose control and everything is against them if they try to make any attempt to regain it.
What control you do mean? When it comes to odds or winning chance then there  might be some difference since HE is almost the same so this simply implies that everything is just the same.

It is just different on total environment or how its been set-up but games offered is just the same or overall concept.

Hooking up people? For physical then those perks would really be in mind and on online then vip and other bonuses as well.
2739  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: trading needs consistent attention and full concentration on: July 19, 2021, 10:12:28 PM
considering the fact that trading is highly profitable and responds majorly to knowledge and skills, this means its needs full attention and concentration consistently. i have  noticed alot of new and upcoming trader gets carried away easily with little profits or loss. this makes many to quit or feel complascent. becoming a good trader is like going to a school, you do all necessary things consistently without any distraction untill you succeed. this is one of the things that i feel is needed to incorporate into trading learning process and lifestyle. 
Not only trading but in all things in life you are engage on would really be needing that consistency and concentration for you to succeed because if you do just wander around without any designated goal or something
then you arent doing things seriously.

Specially on trading where you do deal up with moving price so you would really be needing that attention and concentration or else you would really be lost on track.

Dealing with volatile market isnt something that anyone could handle off this is why these behavior or factors is really needed.
2740  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Holding 5 years a just a imagination on: July 19, 2021, 08:46:53 PM
We’re not in a bear market, we’re just cooling off after going too high, too fast in the first part of 2021. Just relax & wait, if you waited 5 years you can wait another few months which is when this bull run will heat up again.
I believe the same but there are many people that cannot wait any longer, many people bought at the top or near the top and they are desperate, after all they invested money they could not afford to lose and every single day in which the price of bitcoin does not move or it goes down it is another day in which they are thinking about selling their coins and eventually they will do so, which is a shame as I think the bull market we will see at the end of the year will be massive.
Its not a shame because there are calls which are really that give a good call because price movement cant really be predicted and there are really times which you would really be making some good stop loss
or panic sell but somehow these movements or decisions isnt really always giving a good outcome.

Cutting losses is same goes in talks of panic selling but what differs them that one is involved with emotion and one is involved with analysis.

Holding long isnt everybody's genre or preference and its not really that surprising that each of us would have corresponding decision into some situation.
