Well, this is really nice but everyone has their own ways that they are trading cryptocurrency, not everyone would like to buy bitcoin just because Elon Musk tweeted about it, there are a lot of people who would prefer that they dig in properly and be sure that they are actions they are about to take in their trading is accurate.

But, you still have a good idea and I know you did this because a lot of us believed that Elon Musk’s tweets were part of what pushed bitcoin up. What about this time, does it still work, and has the price been moving up all this while? There are so many things that are being considered when talking about the price of bitcoin and I think you should build your bit in a way that all these things are out into consideration.

What other characteristics/values of gold that you are bothering? In my understanding, gold cannot be transmitted smoothly and securely like how we are transacting bitcoins. It means bitcoin has already surpassed gold in such characteristics. Probably you are referring worldwide momentary of transaction? I believe one day all the countries will be accepting bitcoin as preferred momentary of exchange, I am very much confident about that.

Yeah, right bitcoin prices has grown to big levels and right now trying to buy more bitcoin by selling gold may not be an option for many people including myself. But for the people who are strongly believing into $100k or $150k levels for bitcoins, might be thinking that must be a right approach.

Obviously correction was a scary part for many, but this steady increase should probably give some people some ideas. I wasn't scared of this because of my experience, however there will be a fall where it will scare me as well, no matter how veteran you are, unless you are rock solid not moving for decades type of investor, some falls will definitely scare you.

So, maybe this fall wasn't it, I didn't believed it to be neither, but after we break over 60k, and after the price reaches a point where it will not fall anymore, I think there will be a moment where it will fall so much that we may see another 50% big fall again. I am not saying it will happen today or tomorrow, maybe it will take 6 months before we see a huge fall, but I am 100% sure it will happen one day once again.

That is something people do not really understand,  we should be focusing on our freedom and be able to use bitcoin however you want without caring about government trying to meddle with your moves but unfortunately that is getting harder.

Look at exchanges, they are asking for KYC and that is making it harder in nations as well, I do not even agree with governments getting taxes from crypto, why would they do that? I mean don't get me wrong if you sell something and get crypto for it, you should be taxed like you would do on a regular sale, however nothing extra for being crypto. Like if I own 100k bitcoins because I was here 10 years ago and bought at very cheap, that doesn't mean that I should be paying a huge sum of money for taxes just because I have al ot of bitcoins, that was an investment and as long as I make smart investment decisions that should not be punished with a tax.

I don't know if this is a plug or not, there are way too many people who shill their favorite coins, I have seen people selling a "service" as writing about a token on bitcointalk 10+ times a day from 10+ different accounts to shill it and make people like it, that's a real service.

But assuming it is not, I am going to just talk about general idea, if you find a coin and you do not know what is wrong with it, try to find what is good with it, I can't see anything great about netkoin, that makes a no for me and I would not invest into it, if you want to list something you can do with it, I can clearly show you a way to actually find something in everything, you should not be doing that, there are huge things in the crypto world that actually worths money and you should try to find something in those. That's why pick something that has great potential, not something that has nothing bad going on.

I do not think that him being guilty of insider trading back in the day and him getting this much richer overnight because of what the companies did is different. Those companies took out a short and failed to pay the margin call and that is why it ended up being 20 billion dollars, that is basically the same thing Wallstreetbets did as well, it could be profitable or not right now, but it had a moment when real wall street companies lost as much as 7 billion dollars (estimates go as much as 70 billion total but that's not proven, 7 billion is guaranteed notified) because some redditors decided to fuck with wall street.

This is why I think it is quite important that we do not care what's going on with wall street's financials, they can lose all of their money all I care, they will get bailed out with our money anyway and that's why I hate them and why I am in crypto.

In those prime places if you have a house that you can rent to someone, you can charge a very high price and it still gets rented, that is the issue why things are very expensive, because it will be rented anyway. I know a person who rents his house for nearly my whole salary, it is not like an incredible unbelievable house, it is just a regular flat in an apartment and dude rents it for about 80% of my salary, when the previous renter moved out it took him 3 days to find a new one, and that is why it is very expensive.

I think as long as people keep paying for things, life will keep becoming more expensive, cars are being sold for a lot more these days for example but they are sold more as well, those type of things are the reason why we have very expensive life and our salaries are shrinking compared to purchasing power it used to have.

You are right but sometimes understanding a new project can be hard. I was learning about some launchpads recently and I was seriously confused. I think it lies more on the project owners to provide explainer videos and writing the whitepaper such that an average investor and even enthusiast can easily understand and explain to others.

Some aspects require education like you said understanding the blockchain but really it is more on the team to explain the functioning than on the questioner for asking it.

Bitcoin is built on such a complex yet robust mechanism that despite thinking I know every bit of how it works, I learn something new every now and then. But that could have been easier had there been some videos along with the whitepaper. Now a lot of people make videos to explain particular functions so it is easier though.

You should also mention where you have the USDT/EUR right now. I mean if you have them in skill then obviously find a P2P trader and exchange through them. If you have them in the bank then the best option is to buy from a trusted site which is charging the lowest fees. I have heard of moonpay but I don't know what fees they charge and how reliable they are.

The cheapest option also depends on the amount, if you going to buy $50-100 worth of coins then I think P2P traders are best because they don't charge any fixed fees most of the time, while if you are buying from a website they will charge minimum fixed fees. If you are transacting a large sum of money then always best to go through a trusted website because you don't have to worry about minimum charges.

What's more important is, to have the ability and control yourself from trading when market is not moving according to how you want it to be. Once you see there is an opportunity only then you must trade, trading too much and within unfavorable conditions is actually similar to gambling. I sometimes feel that is it much easier to actually invest and sell rather than trade which requires deep understanding and knowledge about reading charts, candles and all.

Indeed and emotional trading is such a dangerous prospect because it is quite similar to emotional or problem gambling where you are chasing losses and trying to recover what you have lost while forgetting the essence of trading.

Make sure whenever you are opening any sell/buy order, you have a solid reason and some data to back it up, if you don't have any reason for the trade, you are just trading emotionally.

Right and the decision making is influenced by our knowledge and our risk appetite hence more than what we do, we must focus and emphasize on learning about all the possible outcomes in trading and how much risk we should take because being too conservative is not going to work in the crypto markets while being careless might wipe our bankroll within a few days.

Knowing the perfect timing to buy and sell for BTC might be near impossible because honestly, I have failed to ever predict it correctly but that said, I can easily say it is going to rise only in coming time. The easier thing to do is, to buy altcoins that you deem have good potential like now the ETH blockchain is slow and costly, it was obvious that people would move to other chains and people who realized this invested in BNB. You just need to keep a keen eye on the market and react quickly.

Yeah, buying in ATH is of course not a great idea, I would hope that people get in earlier and lower instead of at ATH prices however we should also realize that last people who bought at ATH in 2017 made a 3x return in 3 years, that is actually a good good amount of money to make in 3 years, very rarely anything gives you that kind of return. Sure it wouldn't be great in midterm, it could go up to 100k this year and crash to very low numbers, or maybe it can crash even today, but in the long run it should be going higher than 60k for sure eventually.

@OP
do not be upset that you didn't hold your coins, nobody knew it would be this high, even the maximalists did assume it would go up but not this high and this quickly, so you were doing the right thing at the time I am sure.

I do agree that jackmate 7 for premier league was awesome. I have never on anything from it but I liked playing it a lot, even talking about it was very fun, it is a shame that it got removed but I am quite happy to hear that there is a chance it could come back. If it comes back I can guarantee you that both this place will be better and there will be a lot of people talking about it and there will also be a lot of people who will want to try it as well.

Of course it is not going to be as simple as just do it and many will come, but it will definitely be good enough to get a few in at least. It is going to revive everything here, I remember when it existed people wrote 10+ messages a week just on that every week about who could score, and this season will not be very different for sure. I believe it is good marketing and it should be done for sure.

CZ keeps promoting BNB as well, he keeps writing about how awesome it will get and how great it will be too. We are just seeing the start of what makes BNB great, we are going to see a lot more stuff in the future, he realized that the biggest weapon he has is BNB and not binance exchange, you can actually delete all exchange and just have BNB and he would still be a hugely rich and wealthy person while BSC keep making BNB worth a lot, obviously binance is a big reason, probably the biggest reason but its no longer the only reason. That is why I think he will keep pushing BNB instead of binance and he will make us all rich meanwhile as well, that is going to be something very valuable for the future if you are holding bnb.

I do have both bnb and eth so I am the winner in this fight, both of them will try to out do each other while we make the profits.

Enjoying is important and you're right there is no way to assure profits in gambling whether it is roulette or any other game. The only times when you can actually win money from gambling is by playing skill-based games like chess or some table games where skill can outperform luck.

Exactly what I also want to say, there are some skill-based games where you may be able to beat others because you have better skills and win but even then most of the time people who are against you will be near your skillset.

When I am betting on the roulette game, although rarely, I just bet on color of the next ball which I decide based on how the last few balls have poped. If the last ball was black, I will bet red or vice versa.

Well when one coin doesn't go up drastically, it doesn't drop drastically because people are not looking at it too much. When a coin goes up a lot, that means there is a lot of people with money that wants to buy that coin and that is the reason why it goes up so much, that's the main reason at least, there could be some news or something but that's still comes down to making people want to buy that coin in the end. And when it goes down, there are people who care about it enough that they own it and they follow it and they want to sell and get out, they want to cash out, it could be any reason but it needs to be a situation where it goes down.

Tron has neither of them, which is why one can't happen without the other, if people didn't get hyped and bought a lot of tron, then how could they hype and sell a lot of it as well? That's not going to happen.

I remember there was a topic about whether ADA is on Elon Musk portfolio or not. But, honestly I do not like that kind of situation where people who hold a coin wants Elon Musk to tweet about their coin so that they could make money. That is not why we are in crypto, first of all you should not be buying any crypto just because you want to make money, we all want to make money if that was the case we would all pick just one coin, pump it, and make a ton of profit and be happy, that is not the case, a coin needs to be good and have a good potential in order to go up, so even if you want to only care about your profits, you have to care about how good that project is, bad projects do not make you money.

If you think cardano could go up all by itself because it is a good project, that means you do not need Elon since price of ADA would go up even without him, that should be the aim, however if you think the only way ADA could go up is Elon tweeting about it, you should not be in it to begin with.

The thing is – it’s not a must that every type of investment will be the same with another investment, they are all going to be totally different, if you know what works for you then you should just go for it. The world is changing and the internet is taking and Bitcoin is the money of the internet, and I don’t see anything wrong with being part of the new trend and definitely if you invest in bitcoin now and decide to leave it for the next ten years, one thing for sure is that the value you have there will continue to increase for sure and that alone is a good reason to invest. So, you may grab those opportunity even you are not a rich right now.

I mean other investments maybe meant only for rich people and profitable only at times but bitcoin is not that category yet as it is still in its early stages. Even you can invest $100 today and it may grow 100x in next 10 years as per the past records of bitcoin investments' performances.

Let’s see what’s going to happen in the years coming, if they are going to start mining bitcoin or not. But it’s not really necessary, we already have a lot of bitcoin mining companies. Though if they decide to go for it and become and Bitcoin mining company that wouldn’t be bad, I know very well that they are going to be among the companies that will be the biggest in the industry, because they already have lots of money to invest and build it to the level they would want.

Wow, this is the first time that I’m getting to know about this Starbase you’re talking about. What’s it all about? I don’t live in the US and I don’t really follow him on any social media platform, so I am not able to catch up with any of the news that has to do with him.

I do not think that retail would mind, as long as we can grow on online place that would be a lot more important. Think of how many websites in the entire world where we do not have crypto accepting just yet, even the huge biggest ones like amazon and google and facebook do not accept crypto payments just yet, that is why the best place to start would be to get crypto accepted in the online world if we can achieve that we can start thinking about what we can do with the rest of the retail world.

Going to a place and paying and waiting for 30 minutes is not something that we can accept, but if we could actually make that online world work that would be simpler because you are at home buying something and you can wait 30 minutes or few hours just for it to get accepted, not like you have any rush, it would be better of course if it was quicker but bitcoin is slow and expensive unfortunately.
