2801  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How safe it is to invest in cryptocurrency on: April 15, 2022, 03:37:13 AM

As I would see it, there should be a largely if not an overall view of the different beliefs and critiques surrounding bitcoin. Not coming into conclusion without proper findings and proof to back up false claims about it.
Well, people just did it already. They'll already be spreading negative views about cryptocurrency
 1. scam
 2. fraud
 3. use in illegal activities

I'd look in the opposite view of the market, I'd ignore listening to them. Because the only thing I believe about "security investment" just only happens if we invested the right coins, the right wallet where to store our assets, the right system we use upon holding. That all lies on us eventually...

Perhaps, you can make deal with these scams if you will ignore them.

Even if you use Binance, there is no far difference from using Coinbase, the security breach is certainly possible to happen on the internet. We can't be totally 100% safe on the internet, no platform could provide us, users. What we have to do is to be vigilant about such kinds of activities, they certainly exist for they know they still have the chance.

If this is your first time, then make sure there is no 2nd time.
2803  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is this also your strategy to avoid hitting your stop loss early? on: April 14, 2022, 10:48:50 PM
I know that lower margin and low leverage are also farther away from the liquidation price, so is it okay to set low margin and low leverage first to avoid losing if your strategy doesn't work, and then add if does the price follow your strategy? Is this also your strategy?
Honestly, you just end up losing more rather than protecting it.
I suggest not to follow that strategy, it wasn't helping you anymore. You'd better set your low margin and low leverage not far from the liquidation price for this it helps you easily cut the losses once the price fall.
https://blog.tokenomy.com/education-tutorial-eng/what-is-stop-loss-in-crypto-trading/

But I suggest trying to communicate your trade, making some discoveries helps you understand the impact of the STOP-LOSS strategy.
2804  Economy / Speculation / Re: A Little Surprised! on: April 14, 2022, 10:19:52 PM
I was honestly expecting Bitcoin to hit $50,000 soon. That didn't happen. It shouldn't have been surprising but because of big news like Terra's gradual purchase of at least 10 billion dollars of Bitcoin for its UST stablecoin, MicroStrategy's additional purchase of thousands of Bitcoin, etc, I was expecting that Bitcoin's price would somehow react positively.

The said huge purchases will somehow give an impact on the price but that doesn't mean the prices went up to $50k instantly, we can't expect that. The market needs consistency in the market demand and must gain a strong support level to possibly make it, unfortunately, that was not what we are seeing now. Even the Microstrategy and Terra are investing Bitcoin in huge amounts, I wasn't expecting too much change in the price trend, We'd still be experiencing a sideways movement.
2805  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: April 14, 2022, 02:16:36 PM
The Hawks was just too much for the Hornets. I thought it would be a closer match and it looked to be that way after the first two quarter but Hawks just controlled the game in the second half.

Next up is the Pelicans and Spurs. With both Ingram and McCollum on the floor, Spurs will have a rough time guarding/defending. I'm leaning towards a NOP win.

LaMelo Ball have no one to compliment his assets, the kid have so much to bring in the team if they only have an alpha they could have figure out another way to face the Hawks, that said, the Hawks really dominates them and continues to advance to in the 2nd half.

While on the Pelicans vs Spurs, the Pelicans have won the game (113-103) .. as expected McCollum did well and followed by Ingram.

McCollum is now the new superstar of the team, he can score anytime and from any angle on the floor. Because of him, Pelicans now have a good chance of going to the playoffs and I think they can give the LA Clipper a problem on a do-or-die game. BTW, for betters, Pelicans is +4 against the Clippers.

Stop the topic about the "rigging" thing, let's create another topic for that.  Smiley

let's look at game 5, this will be on Saturday I think. I have not seen the schedule yet but seeing how Ginebra dominated game 4, I think they have the momentum now to win the series. Is it still -4.5 for the Boltz?
2807  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin continue to have the same effect on alts? on: April 14, 2022, 07:00:24 AM
What do y'all think? Will BTC price movement continue to have the same effect on alts price in like 10 years? 20 years maybe? Let's hear some expert opinions.
I'm not an expert here and besides, experts can't even tell. However, there are possibilities to see a huge change in the market 10-20 years from now and withstand the thing that altcoins make have their own way to survive without relying upon Bitcoin anymore.

As people have begun to learn more about crypto and developers continue to discover ways how to become independent most likely, we gonna see different market trends somewhat in the future. In fact, we have noticed it already at this time, some projects went the opposite direction to Bitcoin.

I've been wondering, is there a way to live by crypto alone and stay away from Fiat?
Living in a country or a place where Bitcoin is legally accepted and supported by the government can be possible. But if you were in a place that hinders any crypto transactions, you'd rather keep fiat instead.

Quote
Everyone is talking about privacy and decentralization but Fiat is breaking that boundary always, the moment you want Fiat after having some crypto your privacy is ruined.
Unfortunately, crypto never guarantees you 100% privacy by now and this can lessen the few years coming. Kinda we enjoy non-KYC P2P transactions and exchanges by now but can't ignore any possibility that whether we like it or not, it will come that all exchanges will ask KYC just like how these banks are doing.
2809  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can anyone recommend me a safe place to store my bitcoins? on: April 13, 2022, 11:12:58 PM
I'm still using an online wallet, a non-custodial wallet but never did I put a huge amount in there. Because the most concern about an online wallet is the possibility to target by hackers. I'd never experienced this thing but much better to anticipate it rather than to say sorry.

It was really secure when using offline wallets OP, you've been hearing the suggestions above. Never think about how much it is but rather consider the safeguard of your assets especially if you are holding a lot of BTC.
2810  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the sign of bull market start on: April 13, 2022, 10:32:22 PM
Seeing the market price continue to grow like to say 1 month is obviously a sign of a bullish market. If you are in crypto last year (I believe yes) that is also the same scenario to see, prices will mostly be doubled or even more. But to ask when? That is uncertain, nobody has the crystal ball to tell when. And that is why people are accumulating coins at the bearish time just to anticipate the next trend which is Bullrun coz this definitely be going to happen whether we like it or not.
2811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: April 13, 2022, 01:50:20 PM

I don't think they'll have Japeth in the Finals, there's no fresh news that says Japeth will be coming back, as previously reported, Japeth is already out in the PBA Finals. If they will force Japeth to play, that might give them a problem in the future if Japeth will aggravate the injury.

They need to work it harder and not to let Meralco win and have a comfortable lead from this series, even without Japeth, they

managed to win last game 2 and if they will adjust and were more aggressive, they can force to tie this series, the NSD troops were always

have a strong influenced when Ginebra is on this kind of situation, they will do everything to avoid losing this important game.

Bolts 4 points in the last almost 9 minutes (from 41:37 to 45:51, with halftime in between) , yet another fix is on to get the maximum amount of matches guaranteed. PBA at its bet, as usual.

Ginebra is winning the game already, I did not finish watching the game as I believe they'll win and will even the series. If there's a fix, then that should favor the Ginebra Kings, Japeth played actually but he only played with limited minutes, congratulations to the Ginebra Kings in advance, 2-2 now.

Let's not talk about the fix, that is an insult to the BPC (Scottie Thompson) and BIC (Justin Brownlee), they both deserve that award and they deserve the win. This series is getting more exciting, if they fix it in favor of the Ginebra, for sure game 5 is not fixed.
Both Thompson and Brownlee deserves the award that they got and no fixing made there. The fixing is on the game itself and not on the awards.
If you are watching PBA playoffs for quite some time, you will that there are some games that are fixed. Of course there are no evidences to it but as an audience you can make a theory that they are doing it.
Game fixing or not, I think it would be better if we will just enjoy watching. There has been no games for a very long time because of the pandemic so.. lets just enjoy watching the game and support the team that we want to support Smiley.

Yes, of course, no fixing on the award as obviously they were the leading players in the league.
What do you think will happen next game? will the Meralco win and lead the series? Or it's Ginebra winning again and take a commanding lead of 3-2?

If the fix is in, it's hard to quess on who will win in game 5.

 ...

The list above is derived solely from my own personal observations and experiences, feel free do add yours.
In addition to that,
 1. Lack of Technical and Fundamental analysis -

I've found this very important upon doing trading. Common mistakes that most noobs do is to rely on luck and do trading without any basis. Perhaps, I've been trying trading without TA just to see if it really works, but unfortunately, that only it ends up losing.

I have to say that trading needs not only just having knowledge and skills nor to rely on LUCK and Hopes, we need to improve our analysis, somehow.
2814  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: April 12, 2022, 11:18:26 AM

If Meralco will have a chance to take a big lead early in Game 4, expect they can maintain it and that's what Ginebra should have to work out. Meralco is doing great making a rally even behind big points, how much more if they are in the big lead.

This is what Ginebra should not allow, they'll be in trouble once the Meralco will take the lead early as they are good at maintaining the lead. It looks like the Meralco have already matured and they have the support from every guy on the floor to contribute, last game, Black wasn't scoring pretty well but the Bolts still manage to win.

This team is very unpredictable compared to Ginebra that we already know who would produce the offense.

Meralco is winning this series. LOL

I believe this will be a long series, Ginebra has to even the series, that's their biggest chance to come back and make it to game 7. Coach Tim Cone is the best coach in the PBA, so I'm sure he will find a way to beat the Meralco Boltz.

I'm curious what would be the betting odds in game 4, I hope Ginebra will only be -1.5 favorite again, they are good at that number.

@Rufsilf, I think this thread should be closed now as it already serves its purpose.
Job well done for Ryan Garcia, although he was not able to knockout Tagoe but winning is important and it wasn't a hard fight for him.
2816  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Elon Musk notices the existence of "Baby Doge Coin" on: April 11, 2022, 10:05:57 PM
I suspect this coin will become another pump and dump coin but it looks like the whale already started the pump since a few days ago

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/baby-doge-coin/markets/

The price of baby doge got pumped so hard but it's only only the thing. The pumpers were jumping to the baby doge. I will never try to deal with the shitcoin being promoted by elon scam, So many people have been buying this garbage coin.
I don't think so. Elon Musk has no manipulative power in crypto now, people are just ignored whatever he says on social media when it regards crypto promotions. He's done, nobody was able to listen and trust him.

And besides, Baby Doge is obviously a joke project. Should we think about joining and invest this project? It is absolutely no.
This just makes to prolong the issue about Doge and this even it makes worse more than what I expected.
2817  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What have been your crypto trading experience on: April 11, 2022, 09:34:25 PM
I worked with cryptocurrency through a broker from Amarkets. The experience was quite positive, although not easy. I think it's important to spend time learning. And then it is quite possible to make a profit.
Learning should be our first priority as making a profit could be easier then.
Even though we have been exposed to the trading environment but if we still have a lack of knowledge and trading skills, making a profit is still impossible.
What I've got in trading is that I'd learn to adapt to the situation and be patient. We need to become versatile and never go against the trend as this will take you down and make you lose. It is something we need to adjust and control our emotions to a higher extent.

2818  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How can I handle this? on: April 10, 2022, 10:18:55 PM
How do you go about showing people how to invest in crypto? What are your do and don't? I'm trying to avoid some negative vibes from people around but they thought I intentionally don't want to show them way, they can't handle the crypto pressure, they lack patience I know because we grow up together.
You can avoid hearing negative feedback from people just thinking it was normal. But I suggest you stop telling people about crypto for they don't listen to you, honestly. Unless you have something to show them like being successful or anything that could prove the existence of Bitcoin.

Actually, I did this before to one of my closest friends but guess what, you can hear them saying "be careful it was a scam bro". Think that if you don't have thick skin, you'll probably be disappointed with their response. Its only losses your confidence and misunderstanding. It was best to wait until the moment that they will ask you about crypto, that is probably the time that they will listen to you.
2819  Economy / Gambling / Re: Which would be better ? on: April 08, 2022, 09:51:03 PM
    Which would be better for gambling casinos or sports games?
    I've seen both but sports seem a lot easier to me and casinos are hard for me.
    • What do I need to know to play casino?
    • Which is a more profitable casino or sports game?
    • And Which Platform should take as a newbie gambler, casino or sports?

    Actually, gambling is not a profitable entity that we are sure we can make a profit if we gamble, unlike investing that somehow gives some assurance. But to choose which one I'd prefer the most, I consider sports games where I can see that it was not just all about luck, unlike in casinos.

    Quote
    • And Which Platform should take as a newbie gambler, casino or sports?

    They can do both for as long as they have the idea.

    It's sad but true that scammers have made more money than investors themselves in this bull market, this is why you need to be extremely serious with your money, we investors are the ones funding scammers' pocket, this is why you should avoid most metaverse projects and play2earn games, remember they are hungry and angry people that will go any lent to achieve their ill-gotten dreams, lets stop helping them.
    How could you say that metaverses and P2E projects are scams? No, they're some but not all of them.
    They are so many scam tricks that these scammers do, not only in metaverses and P2E platforms. they had used several platforms.

    Yes, we should be careful and choose the projects to invest it wisely. They'll somehow exist and be really smart but if we don't let them scam us and educate ourselves from their tricks, they'll soon stop.
