Buying the dip means buying crypto assets at cheaper or lower prices. The dip has a bottom but you can ascertain the bottom without technical analysis and fundamentals. There are thousands cryptocurrencies out there. For crypto assets with little or no utility, it's best to follow fundamentals. The goal is to buy low and sell high but buying the dip isn't as simple as it sounds it involves market timing n short no one knows for sure how the market will turn out but we do our best to be on the safe side. Resist the urge to fomo

Wrong , if you have been playing for long in gambling then you must understand that there is nothing that can help you but your Luck.

this is something that you must believe mate and not that power above will let you win.
You've got me confused. Define "luck"? What drives or attracts good luck? Is luck a function of belief in oneself? I'd like to know
2783  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Prayer and gambling. on: June 26, 2021, 11:02:39 AM
Gambling is a game of chance. It's not surprising that gamblers tend to believe in a higher power when they are on the table. If you have been gambling for a long time there will definitely be a point when  you'd need to believe in something....just to attract some luck. Every gamble has his own, could be a talisman, fortune cookies, a lucky coin, a ring or anything. It kinda boost one's confidence I think
2784  Other / Archival / Re: Is a demo account necessary for a beginner trader? on: June 26, 2021, 07:47:49 AM
Using a demo account has its pros and cons. The reason why I don't particularly favor the demo account is because one can successful trading a demo account and when you open a live account everything seem to go wrong and you end up blowing the account. Not because you're a bad trader but the psychology is different when you're trading your own money.

It is simple actually. First, decide how to would u want to buy Bitcoin.
You can purchase using credit card, or bank transfer from any centralized exchange or wallet.
Like Binance, Bitfinex, Kraken, Coinbase.
Or wallets like Jaxx, Mycelium, Blockchain.
Or buy directly from other people, that is called peer to peer trading. You can search google to see if there is a Bitcoin ATM in your locality. You can also buy from trusted members here on the forum, remember to use an escrow. You can find users who act as escrow on the service board.
2787  Economy / Scam Accusations / [Scam Alert] Private Key Scam on: June 23, 2021, 02:16:06 PM


What happened::
A friend on telegram told me of a recent encounter he had with a scam company. Of course at the time he thought he was investing in a legitimate business. He invested $500 in the company website and was promised $1000 returns in 48hours. The amount was supposedly sent to his blockchain wallet. Here

Scammers Profile Link:


Scammers website:
http://Gracefinex.com


$1000 is reflected in the victim's blockchain wallet and thus the scam begins



discovers the funds are not accessible


Now this message pops up when he tries to transfer the funds. He complains to the investment site about the situation. And they demand $200. At this point, he realise it is a scam

Additional Notes:
This scam is useless if you have some basic knowledge of how the blockchain works. My advice to all newbies is simple. Learn before you think of earning. Above all knowledge comes first

I'm surprised newbies didn't take advantage of this thread to earn some merit. I see no reason hoard merits just for newbies

Don't limit your crypto journey to the forum, this is a nice starting ground but there are far better things out there, congratulations on your new rank.
Yes thank you. I have attended a few hackathon, the most valuable part of the experience was the opportunity to meet with blockchain tech gurus. I'm anticipating a crypto submit in my city. I'm sure it will be great experience for me.

How has the forum affected your journey in the crypto space?

This forum did not affect my journey in the crypto space, but defined it. Prior to my discovery of this forum, I had no idea about Bitcoin, altcoin, blockchain and the rest
Wow that's deep, I can feel the strong conviction you have and I can relate because that's my story.
2791  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: how I can reach my big place on: June 21, 2021, 11:12:01 AM
I am new. I want to know here how I can reach my big place like everyone else. How can I get merit here. What should I do if I want to get merit?
It's good to have ambition and set goals. But why are you eager to  have merits? Well here's not what to do...don't shit post or spam
 
, don't be in a haste to create topics,  don't beg for merits

I have come here from trade. I have heard that it is possible to earn here.
That may be true but don't  let that be your motivation or primary objective of being here. Having that mindset would definitely affect your perception of the forum and therefore affect your performance. I'm sure you were also told that you can learn about cryptocurrencies and blockchain tech in the forum for free. Forget what you heard about earning, and focus on improving your knowledge on crypto. I'm sure you'd be interested in the trading section.

Being a member of the bitcointalk forum has been a blessing for me.
So far I've learned what to do before investing in a project, how the blockchain works, I have learnt the art of hodling. I'm still learning new things everyday on the forum.
Plus I recently became a full member. Congrats to me. I will be giving merits to newbies and junior members. Submit a post which you think deserves merit. (Only 5 slots available )


2793  Other / Politics & Society / Re: June 12: Democracy for who? on: June 18, 2021, 06:58:03 PM
Did you solve the problem? no? you just flee, and stay away from the root of the problem, leaving incapable people behind and suffer.
You know, mate, I rarely talk bullshit, about being hero and all that crap. If I stay, with the understanding that my government is crap, I will find myself difficult to cooperate, and if I speak too much, the chance is I'll be jailed or even killed. As an ordinary citizen, I have no stake as well, so if the regime change after a bloody civil war, the chance is I'll have nothing to gain.

Well, the circumstance changes if I'm one of the tribe leader (or descendant), if enough people support me, I'll liberate the people from tyranny! Until I become the dictator that you hate. And the cycle continues...

Here's the difference. And I am not saying this in a derogatory way. The best Democracy we have seen is the US Democracy... not that there haven't been better ones that dropped off the map. Why won't the people of other countries simply adopt the US Democracy? Because they don't have the mindset, or possibly the intelligence.

When the US Democracy was set up, the idea was to give the people total freedom with the ability to remove the freedom from them as time went on, a little at a time. The more intelligent people among those who set up the US Democracy, used subtle trickery that the less intelligent didn't clearly realize was being set into place.

At the time of the US revolution, everybody needed everybody to pull it off. The more intelligent needed the strength of the less intelligent, and vice versa. So, everybody gave in to the others a bit. The freedom lasted for a long time simply because the less intelligent could see through almost all of the illusions of freedom that the more intelligent were trying to blind them with.

Many countries are being taken over by the more intelligent, greedy people of the US. It's easier doing this than fighting their fellow free people at home. The example of the US and all of Western Europe doing this in Africa is shown by the numbers of countries that have been controlled for a time by other nations.

If Africa wants freedom, they need to place themselves into the mindset of freedom.

Cool
Intelligent you say? Maybe you should tell that to the Black Lives Matters protesters across the 50 states. Tell that to the happy trigger cops. It seems every time I turn on the news it's another dead black father, son on the news. Resulting in a black child growing up without a father, or a aggrieved parent angry at the system for the death of their child. And so the cycle continues.  Freedom is relative, and so is suffering.
2794  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What do we do when a campaign is discovered to be a fraud on: June 18, 2021, 03:30:26 PM
You can give the Ann thread of the company negative trust, also report the project on social media to be a scam. If the campaign manager is paying people that participated in the campaign, the account should be given negative trust too. One of the members may raise a flag, people should support the negative flag. That alone are enough to make people know that they are scammers. But these are for signature campaigns which it is clear that the campaign manager should have certain amount of escrowed fund with him.
I think that's an excellent idea

For bounties like that one CryptopreneurBrainboss managed, the campaign manager is not at fault, it is the people/company behind the project that are at fault, while I think negative flag has been raised against them. The only remedy to scam exit in bounty campaigns is to not participate in the bounty campaigns, or try to risk it.
True I couldn't agree more. Big ups to CryptopreneurBrainboss for flagging the project not many would do that.

2796  Other / Beginners & Help / What do we do when a campaign is discovered to be a fraud on: June 18, 2021, 07:16:31 AM
This question has been bugging me lately and I need some answers.
Do we just jump on any and every campaign that comes up even if there is cause to suspect the company is a fraud? In this case the campaign 1xbit.com has been accused of scamming its users but still yet reputable members of this forum apply for the campaign. I'd understand if newbies, Jr members and even some members apply but seeing ranks as high as a Hero member applying on the campaign is mind-boggling. I believe the one of the factors that prove the credibility of a signature campaign is the rank of members they allow to apply, most campaigns are usually open to Full members to legendary rank only, while others are even more strict and require Hero members to legendary rank only. So what happens when high members help promote a scam campaign? Of course this is not the first time such has happened, CryptopreneurBrainboss, one of the best managers I have been blessed to work with, reported and exposed Burst.money as scam project despite whatever offers the company may have offered him. That shows character and dignity. 1xbit.com campaign has red flags all over it and yet the signs are ignored. This is the first time I'm seeing ranked members applying for a campaign managed by a newbie. It just isn't right. It just goes a long way to show the perception some of us have about the forum. Its all about the money

2797  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / CNN has jumped on the NFT wagon on: June 18, 2021, 01:55:24 AM

CNN recently announced its plans to enter the NFT market.
The popular American news network is set to release crypto collectibles to immortalize some of history's most memorable moments over the last 40 years. I think CNN is the first news network to do this, I'm sure we will see others follow this trend in due time.

Gambling sites are legitimate businesses so there is nothing wrong in the government taxing them. A business is only legitimate when you pay your taxes. Gambling platforms shouldn't evade taxes, they are not a charity organization
2799  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Where is giveaway thread? on: June 16, 2021, 03:49:38 PM
The word earn and free can't be in the same sentence. You have to do the work if you want to earn. Go the service board and search if there is some skill or service you can render. If you're looking to be a charity case and hope people just hand out their bitcoins to you I'm afraid you're in the wrong club.
2800  Other / Politics & Society / Bitcoin Adoption will bring positive change for the people of El Salvador on: June 16, 2021, 02:28:47 PM



Today El Salvador discussing the way forward in crypto adoption in the country. This bold step taken by El Salvador is commendable and I hope less powerful countries can follow suit and even the scale. This might just be the advantage third world countries need to improve their economy or not. According to JP Morgan and Steve Hanke, Bitcoin can only destroy an economy
