That was always the case, we were always in the bull run, famous thing about bull run is that when you break over ATH a bit too much, you end up with a huge 20%+ drop of correction, which means that people who bought earlier sells their coins and new people buy and they will sell it when we are way above the ATH price as well. When it was 24k it dropped to 18k, when it was 41k it dropped to 28k and at 58k we dropped to 48k, same will happen when we are 100k as well for example, we will drop to under 80k as well, but that will not mean that it is a crash, it is just a correction.

The difference between bear run and correction is that there are big deals that make it go down, not just constant falling but huge leaps of falling as well, and they do not happen very quickly, corrections happen in few days, bear run lasts months until it ends, hence it is a bit different.

Well, you guys are both right but also wrong. Speculation is wrong and should not be done, do not feel emotions and get panic and sell your coins, you are right about that part, but TA is not bullshit, I do not use TA neither when I buy because I have one thing that I do which is buying, no matter what bitcoin price is, 3k or 300k I will buy bitcoin and that is why I do not need TA for that, but I understand others who does TA, there is a logic behind it, it just shows the market sentiment and there is nothing wrong with knowing that.

I am not saying that TA will make you money or lose you money, all I am saying that it shows something and there is nothing wrong with looking at that, this is why I honestly believe that we should be not using only TA for trading and nothing else, but we should not be against others who use it neither. At the end of the day, everyone has their own methods of making money.

The original Blockchain is decentralized, and if it’s all about decentralization, then there is no way that they can be competing with each, unless they are going to be creating their own Blockchain, that’s where the competition starts. Take for example: Facebook creates their own Blockchain for other companies to make use of and it becomes big, they might start playing the same game like Apple is doing now.

Or maybe Google and Microsoft creates their own Blockchains, it’s going to also be a competition just as their search engines are a competition between the two. That’s the only way I know they will compete when it comes to Blockchain.

That is not going to be possible, and I am saying that because there are so many reasons why someone can be poor. That someone is rich today doesn’t mean his children are going to be rich tomorrow, his children can still end up being poor or average because of the reasons you have listed which is that lack of knowledge that is disturbing some of them.

As humans our characteristics differs, there are people who are wise enough and they know what to do, they have the knowledge to do that and when they are applying that knowledge it is working for them, while others are lazy or have got to knowledge at all. So someone being rich or poor can be because of one reason or the other.

Bitcoins only are considered as money till they have value on exchanges and there is a way to sell/exchange them for something useful. There won't be a single supporter of bitcoins I can assure you if the price drops and becomes zero suddenly, I know that won't happen ever but just imagine why will people hold coins if they are of no value.

People want to live on crypto because some of them want to avoid and evade tax, which I am not saying is wrong, but that is the reason behind living on crypto. I don't see a difference in having $100 in my bank or $100 in my bitcoin wallet.

Very well said, every coin or asset we buy has speculations whether it can grow or collapse and the recent growth of Bitcoins has something to do with the fear about economic failure being expected after the coronavirus as more money was printed which eventually brings the economy down.

Haha, it is a mixture of fate and chances. By "all maths" he didn't mean that one who can count cards will always win. He meant that because of the edge casinos get against players, chances are players will lose because the house has 2 advantages, bigger bankroll than players and the edge.

Strategies player makes are the funniest thing to me. You can make any strategy and win/lose because the chances of winning and losing each bet is separate and isolated. If you have lost 1 million bets in a row or lost the last bet only, the chances of winning/losing the next bet are again reset and isolated from other results in past.

Call it math when you lose and fate when you win. But don't lose too much and have control over your addiction.

Copa del rey is definitely a possible win for Barcelona, that would be "easy" for them, obviosly its football and we may not know until the last whistle but only one game left with Bilbao as opponent so it looks quite possible. However we are talking about just 4 point difference in la liga as well, that doesn't look that difficult for barcelona neither, we are talking about something that barcelona can do, they are definitely a great team. This is la liga, the league for real and barca, so those two will do everything in their power to win the title.

I do not think that anything is out of reach yet, it is still playing and nearly 30 points left so 4 out of 30 is not a big deal for them, they could get it. Real Madrid was a bit more lucky, ATM lost to chelsea which is understandable but there were easier opponents as well, Barcelona lost to PSG which was finalist last year, Real Madrid beat atalanta, give ATM atalanta and they would have moved up as well.

I agree that NEO is long gone, back in the day when it first started and during ICO period, ETH was seen as the number one coin that everyone used for ICO and NEO was seen as the second one, people got paid gas fee for just holding it, having NEO on your binance account meant that you were getting paid constantly, that is why many people used it, but the reality is that we are looking at what those coins are doing and there is nothing that could be compared, it is still not near that ETH level and it grew smaller and smaller after we got into bear.

During this bull run it didn't get closer neither, BNB did get closer, and with another x5 or so we are talking about even being around it, but at the current moment BNB is much better than NEO, even things like avax, link, dot are still better than NEO if you want to invest. It was really unfortunate what happened to it.

Indeed a very common metric used by traders. The problem sometimes with this strategy is that you get carried away by a bull or bear run and make timid decisions. For example, a lot of people sold when the price for Bitcoins dropped after reaching around $50k because they thought a bear run will follow next but they were wrong. The Bitcoin market is just too unpredictable and volatile so I rather suggest either you trade very small variance like $500 ups and downs or just invest for the long term.

Personally, I believe the best possible way to make easy money in crypto is by investing in solid upcoming projects like PolkaDot and Cardano and even BNB, risk is there that they might never gain the expected value, but the chances of profits are higher than trying to successfully accomplish day trading in this volatile market.

Yeah, luck is random but when you are playing for fun you avoid a lot of potential mistakes like you would not chase your losses and don't get emotional about your losses which might actually help you win next time instead of busting everything within a single unlucky day.

I think one can always remain in profit/green if they just use all the cool promotions that stake offers because if you participate in all of them and check, you should be in profit overall then. Lots of forum giveaways are there plus you can get lucky on weekends if the VIP manager picks you. Maybe that is why stake uses the tagline "Bet Smarter".

I don't like some of the recent changes in the VIP system but they have the power to change it for maintaining scalability I think.

If two teams decide to play a tie intentionally then I believe it is indeed corruption and match fixing because any event that is played must have its integrity maintained and if players are throwing a game intentionally, if even because the team eventually benefits from it, it's just wrong and categorized as match fixing.

There was such an instance in badminton and you might want to read the article: How players intentionally tried to lose matches to gain an advantage

As long as the result of any match is determined without competitive action with an intention to win, I believe it's corruption.

That's right, if you have no knowledge and no experience that means you are swimming with the sharks with no cage and very hungry sharks as well, in this case more like whales. If anyone wants to make any profit from trading they have to realize that the best way to do it would be to learn, learning will provide you with a lot of profit in later stages, one way or another, it might be very quick or it might be very late but you will profit from learning and that takes time, there are no shortcuts, there are no ways to just learn a quick scheme to make money, you have to actually spend time to learn.

After you learned, you start trading small time and you gain experience, the more you trade the more you profit and that is how you profit. That is why both of these are very important for anyone that wants to make profit from trading crypto currencies.

It’s not just about saying that you’re going to diversifying your assets, because you can still diversify your assets and the market will still continue to fall for the assets you have invested. Although I do understand that the reason why a lot of people like to diversify is because they believe that if other assets are going down then, then one, two or more will be increasing in value, but how sure are you that one asset that is increasing will help you to recover the losses you’re going to be encountering with the fall of the other assets on your portfolio?

So, it’s not really just about buying so many coins and keeping , you have to be very careful of the coins you’re going to b choosing because anything can happen, the market can fall at anytime.

Bayern stumbled only a few times whole season, they have lost 18 points or something total, and "other teams taking advantage" would mean that they would have to end up losing less points than that, which is why I think that is a bit much to ask from those teams.

I do agree that Bayern lost more than I imagined, that's true, but it is not also simple to just win every game for other teams as well. Look at what Leipzig just did, they were so close to Bayern and could even go higher with one Bayern loss, but instead they got a draw and now they are 2 game difference level instead. That is why I think it is quite important to realize that what Bayern is doing is awesome, even on those rare occasions they lose points, they are not doing it that commonly which is why they are once again ahead of everyone else, they are really looking like a machine out there.

I am just the opposite, I do not prefer betting because it takes too much time and while gambling I do not prefer to wait a month to get the results of my bet, in your case at least 15 more days, that seems like too much waiting time for me. I do not even gamble on matches that are few days away, I do gamble on that days games though, but in some other place that is a sportsbook.

Here however, I gamble with regular dice game a lot, whatever I have here I gamble that away, until it is finished, in dice game, I never have too much here, and all of my money comes from affiliate income so I am not worried and not losing anything from my pocket (technically) so it is really fun to lose it all on dice in few hours once every week. It also allowed me to have a huge base as well, last I remember it was something like 40 satoshi if I am not wrong, I do not use it much but it is a good feeling to know that.

I didn't even know Lowry was on the trading block, I mean Toronto is doing fine, sure they may not get another ring but if they keep playing this way and can somehow land one superstar they could still get lucky right? I mean look at what happened on their championship year, they were just a team that kept losing to Lebron constantly every single year and one year they got Kawhi (lost derozan though) and they ended up winning the title that year.

This is why I think it is not really that understandable that trading Lowry would somehow benefit them, they would logically tank with that trade and rebuild, and if not they would have to seriously get something good out of it so that they could stay at this level and I do not think that anyone would give any decent level player for Lowry right now, everyone has all their pieces and giving a big name would be bad business, so it would be basically some semi-ok player plus some picks probably.

It depends on where you look at it, if you ask me software developers are learning about crypto better than business people, why? Because crypto is as technical as it is financial as well, you may see it as something you buy and sell and make money but some other people could see it as a software that they could fork and build something better, if there were no developers we wouldn't have bitcoin, and we wouldn't have any other altcoin neither, it was those developers that saw the technology and built something better.

Look at the defi world right now, people are building newer and newer stuff constantly, that is why I think it is quite obvious that we should be considering tech part of crypto as well. Obviously none of them alone makes any sense, it is a double edged thing and both business and software plays a big role in crypto as a whole.

I am not planning on ethereum to take the place for bitcoin, in fact I do not even have any worry if it will stay second or not, it can drop all I care. You know what I care? I want to see ethereum go up like bitcoin did, that's all I care about. In 10 years time bitcoin moved from just a small hobby thing into a 1+ trillion dollar thing, ethereum lived a 5 year or so life so far as well so we can't say that it is new, but I want to see 1+ trillion from ethereum in the next 5 years to be like bitcoin, and after that it is all increases.

It means in 10 years I think if ethereum is anything like bitcoin, that means we should see an 8k like price, and if that happens we can see 20k+ broken by 10 years and even more. That is on the small scale by the way, I do not expect the price to be this low, I think it will be much bigger, near 50k levels in 10 years, but I wanted to share what I think will happen at minimum.

Agree, with this statement because more often than not investors are victims of hype and the FOMO that is created by fake members in telegram groups and some paid articles which will make the reader feel like he might be missing a huge opportunity.

Better to buy a token at 10 cents after the sale is over, which was 5 cents during the sale. It at least allows you to see how the team is performing after the sale and if there is work being done or they were just interested in raising money.

Some of the sales have a very simple formula - Raise money --> Pay a small exchange to list their token --> Once listed, market is dumped by bounty or investors. They will then repeat the same with another project under a new name.

I don't think you should have any regrets and look I am not trying to tell you how you should trade but from my own experience, feeling good about even the worst trades you made, will only boost your morale and give more confidence in your next trades. Having a negative mindset and feeling of regret doesn't let you trade freely.

You could have actually taken a loan in USD by putting your Bitcoin as collateral under a trusted lender and then once you had your money problems sorted, you could have paid back or even if you had to pay back from the Bitcoins itself, you still would have got a way better value for the same amount of Bitcoins. But it's all in hindsight so I don't think you should feel down because of it.
