2981  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How much would you say one could realistically make a month trading? on: February 19, 2021, 06:54:42 PM
Trading BTC with just $1k gives me atleas 10-30 usd a day which isnt really that impressive given that it is just a side hustle of mine since i do my everyday work facing a computer. Bought a second cheap monitor just to see the charts and do arbitraging while doing other stuff
Profiting 30 USD with 1k ain't that bad daily. Because that is like 3% returns on your investment and that too daily, which means within a month you can double your actual investment. If you are actually this good and don't mind sharing please tell us how you actually do it, because I tried price trading but can't really manage to do it much.

Sometimes when the price is falling it will just keep falling down and when its rising it rises for days and I do not get chance to actually earn much. How much is the difference at which you trade. I mean like if the current price is $50k for example so do you buy and sell at $49.9k and $50.1k respectively? I would really love to know how you trade if you want to share.
2982  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How do you feel, Looking at the Bullrun market? on: February 19, 2021, 12:45:58 PM
Actually, I'm happy with this market situation because some coins are very rapidly pumped and it still has till now. Some of them are BTC. This BNB coin is most explainable coin in the coinmarketcap. Secondly, BNB. This one coin is my dream coin, I have been held Binance coin for trading since very long times and the expected moment has come recently. So, If I have to say something about this crypto industry, then it should have to say the market is a gladly and charming place for trading and I'm again happy with this market.
You know, actually people who held some coins are happy with the bull run but the people who used crypto more as a payment method than holding them are upset because with the pumping we have seen the cost of transaction has significantly gone up and the confirmation timing has also painfully increased form some blockchains like Ethereum and Bitcoin.

I am not much moved by the transaction fees actually because I hardly do any transactions apart from my trading which all happen within the exchange itself and no actual transactions are being made. I mean I have all my balance on exchange and I can sell/buy anything without actually doing transaction. I pay transaction fees only when I actually withdraw to convert for fiat.
2983  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: We should not buy outdated and overvalued coins on: February 19, 2021, 12:07:25 PM
You have noticed that cryptocurrency has gradually lost its original purpose as a means of payment, and is turning into a commodity that is chosen, bought and sold. Well, if we consider coins from the point of view of a product, then you need to choose the best and highest quality. Now it is easy to find the information you need about a particular coin and decide whether it will be profitable to work with it.
Binance Smart Chain is trending today!
Bitcoins and other crypto were never meant to be used as a payment method either to be honest. I always thought of Bitcoins as an asset and because of the nature of transactions it was being used as payment method. Even during traders buy and sell crypto there are transactions made every time and I agree, when you consider any crypto coin as product its easiest to analyze and hence determine the value in future.

Binance chain is indeed trending but I would wait and see how it does, I almost agree with all the coins mentioned in OP but I don't like Tron because it is not doing much and it has become a coin which people are using to save transaction fees, but it does have the potential to actually bloom.
2984  Economy / Economics / Re: What We Should Learn From Elon Musk Influence on: February 18, 2021, 08:42:59 PM
For me there is a lot I can learn from what happened after Elon Musk tweets about Bitcoin and Dogecoin. It turns out that being the richest person on this planet can have such an impact, because it was proven that after Elon Musk shilled the two coins the price immediately skyrocketed.
And discussed by many online media around the world, what Elon Musk has done is still having an effect until now. I really hope that not only Elon Musk supports crypto, but other famous people can do the same. As more and more famous people promote crypto, it should accelerate the massive adoption of crypto.
Interestingly it is about a "niche" situation because he could talk about how everyone should buy apple mobile phones and it wouldn't really change too much if you ask me. Sure it might had a small spike in sales for few days but that's about it.

You know what is the difference? Well in crypto world it is not something you buy and use and it ends, many products are like that, you get it, you use it for either maybe one day or maybe 10 years but eventually it becomes nothing again, here in crypto you get in and you have it.

It would be like Elon saying we should all go into gold, and buy physical gold as well not just digital numbers, that would have little impact as well because gold market cap is like 10x higher than we are right now, so it wouldn't be that easy to move it. Long story short it is really not that easy to make these kinds of things happen but Elon did it for something "nice" , which is first doge, then got that hype and move it over to bitcoin.
2985  Economy / Economics / Re: Financiers would never invest in bitcoin? on: February 18, 2021, 06:27:31 AM
That can't say this time, because anything can happen this year or some time far. Cryptocurrency becoming well known in the world day by day, many countries and organizations are accepting BTC so why not financiers? Commerce known people now knowing and investigating about cryptocurrency. I hope that financiers will come to this field and they will work on that and if there are some mistakes, they will try to solve and upgrade the systems. Scams will reduce by the preventing of falls.
I remember a very intelligent line from some philosopher or someone " First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight with you and ultimately you win" and I honestly think this is what is happening with Bitcoins. When it was new people ignored, now as it got more popular some investors laughed and called it a bubble. Then now banking systems are fighting against Bitcoin and ultimately looks like Bitcoin is going to win now.

With more and more investors putting their money into crypto it makes me feel like its about time we will see bitcoins being accepted worldwide although it might not be precisely bitcoin because of confirmation issues and fees so it might be crypto payments in general.
2986  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Investing and Trading Strategies. on: February 17, 2021, 06:43:19 PM
BTC has more than doubled several times in the last decade. GME and AMC (and many others) doubled and then some over a few days. If you take reasonable gambles with known risks, doubling your money is not that hard to do.
Rightly said but let's consider an example. You know if you bet on Djokovic to win in 4 sets against Zverev you would have doubled or even tripled your money, so did you miss out on that? That is how you are talking because yes one could have doubled their money if they invested in right coins at the right time and the right amount, which is not easy to actually do when you don't know how the market will behave in future.

Also have you actually doubled your money then? I don't have a crystal ball with me that can help me determine the prices of altcoins or bitcoins in future, if you have one please share with me man. And hey no hard feelings, I was just trying to tell you how hard it is to actually double your money and how easy it is to advice someone to double their money.
2987  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which stablecoin do you trust the most? on: February 17, 2021, 05:58:44 PM
The only stablecoin that I trust (still not 100%) is Binance USD. I am definitely going to trust Bitfinex and its shitcoin USDT, as they are even worse than the federal reserve. The way in which they print new tokens, they have even put the federal reserve to shame.
I have similar thoughts about tether and I would rather sell and store fiat directly instead of keeping these so called stablecoins who don't have any base and the whole idea of bitcoins and crypto was to make payments decentralized and these stablecoins are now killing the basic idea itself by centralizing the reserve and the control is always in the hands of owners.

If it is just temporary the you can convert USDT. I also use this stable coin to trading in some volatile coin.. a good pair for any altcoins to trade. I fully trusted in USDT because it's already popular stable coin and it's been 6 years ,USDT still trading all over the world.
That's how it seems but every good thing might come to an end, I would rather use bianance usd because I already keep my bitcoins and altcoins at binance so if they turn scam, I am screwed anyways.
2988  Economy / Economics / Re: Our boss and employer are money on: February 16, 2021, 03:31:22 PM
If you really want to become wealthy then let money works for you and that’s the strategy of many rich people because they know how sacrifice at first and when they succeed, they can just relax while the money is making them more rich. We should not think money as superior above all, we have to think Money on a different way and don’t let greed stop your from being rich.
"Let money work for you" is easier said because to let money work for you starts with the assumption that you have money already. I agree that smart and richest people today are those who know how to earn more money with what they have and that's through smart investments.

People often think that money is everything but if for once we sit back and relax, we would understand that while money is important it is not the only thing. Imagine the corona virus situation, no matter how rich or poor you are but you can still get affected and since there was no defined medication you might suffer. So while money is important, what's more important is mental and physical health along with how well you cope with the society and what you do in life.

If you think of life as a race then remember the one running fastest will be the one who meets the end of the race faster which ultimately is death.
2989  Economy / Economics / Re: Earning interest on your crypto on: February 16, 2021, 01:55:38 PM
What are your experiences so far with loaning your crypto?
Haven't been too involved into taking and giving loans because I never needed loans while never lent to anyone because I hardly trust anyone in this crypto industry to be honest and because of the anonymous nature of Bitcoins.

What place do you loan to, or recommend loaning your crypto to?
If you are interested in giving loans and earning passive income then the best place I know is a section of this forum - Lending Section.

But, before you give out loans make sure you take enough collateral from them and verify that the collateral is worth giving the loans and you might see some threads there to get an idea how lending works and what are the usual interest borrowers pay.
2990  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin before and now on: February 16, 2021, 08:54:45 AM
We have seen a massive surge in bitcoin price since we enter into 2021 almost same, trend happen in 2017-2018, only there is a big difference, in a situation today before, I think it was just a pump, but there is a big difference in this year's price rally things that are notable are the following, the influence of Elon musk, Visa considers to enter to cryptocurrency, Paypal decided to open to cryptocurrency, banks, and other institutions open its door to the possibility of using it, suddenly this year pandemic helps cryptocurrency get into the spotlight in the positive note, although there is still negativity being thrown, I think most institution study it and they realize the possibilities and important of blockchain overall.
Yeah a lot of them have finally come to understand Bitcoin and how it works, they are now starting to accept it.
I also saw a news headline that MasterCard will be supporting cryptocurrencies very soon, although I am not sure the cryptocurrencies they are going to be accepting because of the conditions they have given which are that the coins are going to be coins with privacy and stability and also coins that complies with money laundering laws, may looking at that I am starting it’s going to be stablecoins that they will making selections from, and not the volatile and decentralized ones like Bitcoin. Although it would have been cool if Bitcoin is on the list.
2991  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is Crypto Pump Island a scam or legit? on: February 15, 2021, 08:50:24 PM
They are not worth the cash you pay to them. You're simply tossing cash. Channel that give signal are BS. I have joined a great deal of them and none of them are exact. Be cautious on these sorts of gatherings since it could lead you losing your cash. you can do exchanging all alone by basically applying the fundamentals. You just need to manage the market.
The question asked in OP is like two years old and I am not sure what prompted the thread to be bumped but yeah almost all the signals groups and self-claiming experts are just scammers trying to scam some innocent guys who are new to trading.

I have myself been part of such groups and thankfully I only joined the free ones and one thing I learned about these groups and signals is that, it is better to analyze of your own because at least that ensures you are not being trolled and with time you get better. While if you follow these groups you just get more and more dependent on thee groups who are doing nothing but playing guess games.
2992  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can Dogecoin reach 1$ soon? on: February 15, 2021, 06:18:35 PM
here I am giving the assumption 50:50...
maybe when the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies occurs we will be able to see this moment. $ 1 is 12x the current price and nothing is impossible but the transaction fee is sure to be big too following the doge price. *Elon = true doge pumper
Well, yeah Musk is pumping it no doubt but I don't think he can actually pump it enough for doge coin to reach $1 and this is because the cost of dogecoin if I am not wrong a few months ago was like $0.005 and even the richest man on earth alone drag the worth of a coin to 200x alone. I mean if there were others who were helping him and there was a group of investors maybe doge coin would or could have reached $1 but alone him cannot really pump it towards $1.

If it still reaches 1 dollar that would be a worrying sign though because it shows us that even a single guy, although the richest one, is able to control and manipulate the crypto market alone.
2993  Economy / Economics / Re: after gamestop's short squeeze, reddit turns to doge. 600%+ today on: February 15, 2021, 05:44:12 PM
Meehn Roll Eyes doge has been making some really crazy waves since last year till now. With all those heavy waves there is no doubt that those investors who have been HODL’ing doge steady are filling up their bags right now. The first bull run happened with doge when it was pumped last year, now this is another pump damn! Even at that there are still lots of people who are undertaking doge and saying that it is not worth it. People will keep telling you that a coin is not good, but that coin will be doing great a lot of times and still growing more than the ones that are considered to be good ones.
Yeah, it has been crazy but the pumping behind doge is unexplained because there is nothing being built on the dogecoin or anything like that, at least i am not aware of anything like that. All I know about why its going crazy is because Elon has been tweeting some strange tweets about dogecoin to the moon and that makes it everyone buy it hence the price going up.

I don't know why he is pumping dogecoins and even Bitcoins, I appreciate him doing that but there must be a reason for him to do that. Lets hope there is no scam or massive dump coming up because not everyone is as rich as Elon Musk to handle losses in case dumps actually happens. He might become a overnight villain if some kind of dumps happen.
2994  Economy / Economics / Re: which will u choose to buy on: February 15, 2021, 04:14:28 PM
The choices that OP are asking are stupid, one million dollars goes a long way and if that were a once in a lifetime opportunity then that means that you have to spend it wisely, it is no brainer that you will invest it in bitcoin. Bitcoin is evidently growing and buying something that depreciates in value overtime unless it is the last Ferrari model in the world will be the most dumb thing that you could ever do to your money.
It actually depends on the financial status of the person who is given the money. I remember recently stake did a raffle where they gave the winner an option to take something around $200k or a Ferrari and I believe it was GDLE who won and he chosen to get the cash because as a gambler he would relish cash more than the car.

Maybe if you ask Elon Musk the same question what he would do if you give him a million dollars then he might go with a Ferrari but someone who isn't as rich as him would most likely lean towards getting the cash and how they invest depends on individual's intelligence and their risk appetite.
2995  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you trade altcoins/BTC pairs? If yes, under which conditions? on: February 14, 2021, 09:10:33 PM
As title says, do you trade any altcoin (not stablecoin) with BTC? When you do that?
I tried it once when I started trading, it didn't go well for me and I find it more difficult than trading against stablecoins pairs.
Yes, I do trade altcoins pair with Bitcoins when I feel the Bitcoin market is about to go higher and the altcoin market won't be able to maintain the ratio in terms of Bitcoins. Like for example when bull-run started a few months back I knew TRX will not be able to keep up with the Bitcoin ratio so I converted by TRX I had into Bitcoins for the time being and now very recently as the TRX market started to bloom, I bought back into TRX and the pair moved higher.

This is how I benefit and profit from altcoin pairs but its not easy and you have to be very alert because most of the times altcoins are falling in terms of the BTC pair and there is a feeling we should hold them a little longer and wait for the market to recover.
2996  Economy / Economics / Re: Are Cryptocurrencies Really Money? on: February 14, 2021, 08:39:28 PM
Yesterday, while surfing the social media that aggregate trends, Twitter, I ran into what was like a very exciting poll, the best I have seen this year.
The poll was created by International Monetary Fund (IMF) to monitor the two types of virtual currencies which are; the cryptocurrencies and the central bank digital currency.
The poll went thus;
1.   Are central banks digital currency really money? The poll result was Yes (33.8%) and no (66.2%)
2.   Are crypto currencies really money? The poll result was; Yes (79.9%) and no (20.1%)
What is your opinion about these polls?
If we are to go by the definition of what money really is, then they are all money, since of the definitions of money is assets, properties and resources, and cryptocurrency is part of assets, so that makes it money, and whatever the central banks are going to release as their digital money , if we regard them as assets, they are still money.

So, all these things are money in the sense that they are all part of our wealth. But no country has really released a digital money yet, and those who claimed that they did never had it functioning. So, we don’t have any as of yet.
2997  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Investing and Trading Strategies. on: February 14, 2021, 01:05:10 PM
Your goal is to 10x you investments and happily pull out.
10x profit is something which may happen once or twice in decade. Maybe it happens in this crypto space more frequently but only whales could cover them as there are 1000s of altcoins and only 1% of them are having potential to grow 10 times in short period; if you miss the timing then investing those 1% of coin also will be meaningless.

But, bitcoin is known for getting us 10x profits every 4 years. I have been watching it since 2013. If bitcoin gets into 200k region this year, then my speculation on bitcoin for 10x profits every four years will be accurate one.

Any strategies here I can get to know?
You must focus on long term holding which is the only strategy you must learn and practice. For long holding, only highly reputed coins like bitcoin and ethereum are good so do not risk on random coins.
2998  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: How to deal with high fees defi? on: February 14, 2021, 09:37:27 AM
Conclusion: swapping asset under $100 is not worth it.
It seems literally they are making their actual business here; Why we need to pay for approval and then for processing in a decentralized environment. These things are honestly making me thinking like we are into a dictatorship. They fix some unnecessary steps with insane fees. Really ridiculous. I am sure like ICO boom, this defi hype also will bite dust in near future as they are not finding their success by solving the real problem but doing business by sucking people's money in different names.

Due to high fees, I have already decided not to go for encashing as of now as I got few of them through airdrop and bounty rewards. They expect me to add more tokens before encashing, but I take another routine which costs nothing to me.
2999  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What are your predictions for the next Alt to pump after what happened to Doge? on: February 13, 2021, 08:56:16 PM
I'm curious what other users thoughts are as to which Alt is going to see an insane pump like we saw the last few days with DOGE.

I made a decent profit yesterday on DOGE (400%) and I'm glad I sold them when price peaked.
Many of them already got it, BNB got a huge increase as well, LTC recovered a lot, XRP did as well, Tron went up, LTO did too, there are so many coins that recovered or increased a lot that I can't really say that it was Doge that went up, sure it got a pump and may look like it went up a lot, but many other coins had that kind of increase over course of the last 3 months, I believe we have been in the alt season for the past 3 months.

Sure there could be some more increases in some other coins, but that is not going to be that clear to anyone before it happens. But be careful about eip 1559 that is going to happen in ethereum world, if that passes and the transaction fee's of ethereum becomes under 5 dollars again? That is going to take ethereum into 3k+ range very quickly and very easily, otherwise this high fees will cause it to stagnate for a while more.
3000  Economy / Economics / Re: Im big fan of stable coins and this is what I think on: February 13, 2021, 04:23:46 PM
Quite frankly I don't think any government will mint any stable coin as the already existing stable coins are not from any government but from individual crypto projects and also thinking or having the idea of HODLing stable coins and making good ROI from them really don't make sense to me cos the little I know about using stable coins in crypto space is for you not to lose the value of your another crypto assets when the price is in a downward trend.
Well, there are some places that does pay you interest for your USDT or anything like that, which is really not that bad, I think it is quite good and I honestly think if you could find a way to make that more trustworthy, or get it from a place that is profitable, that could end up with a great amount of profit in the future for you.

I have invested a lot in them, I am a bit afraid because if it crashes that means I am going to lose all my money that I put aside, of course this is money I can afford to lose but I still think that I would rather not lose them Cheesy.

However making money via crypto currency by putting dollars into something and making a huge return all thanks to system representing a ponzi like scheme where you do not lose money as long as people do not withdraw a lot is actually quite good. I do not think that people all would withdraw together and I think we are going to keep making this interest.
