This doesnt make sense. One person is all about spending on fancy stuff and finding bargains, while the other is into crypto and saving for the long haul. By age 24, the spender has little left, while the saver still has a stash for more rolexes. It's more about their money choices than gender stuff.Smiley
I think the gender is only being used as an example when comparing one person over the other. Those who buy fancy stuffs I.e. Rolexes can still sell his stuffs later because it was also kind of investment which value can grow over time. Except maybe on some luxuries items like for example a t-shirt, unless it can became vintage soon like the others. If they are willing to buy fancy stuffs, they shouldn't look for bargains, because they can still afford its original price.

But anyway, it's their choice. If they are into items that don't appreciate in value, we can do much about it. Maybe this is the ones that makes them happy? We also have our own, and they don't have a problem with that as well.

If people have run out of BTC and can't buy it, the price of BTC will rise very high because the demand is always there while the supply is no longer there, some people who keep it for a long time will probably sell their BTC at a high price.
This means that the condition you describe is not that you cannot buy Bitcoin, it's just that the price is too expensive due to the lack of Bitcoin circulating in the market. Because when someone sells at a high price there will always be someone who buys at a very special price offer for Bitcoin through any market, so this kind of thing is actually not running out or not being able to buy. However, because there are very few people selling it and also the opening price is very expensive.
But he said people are waiting for the price to rise high before they can sell. So that means BTC price is not yet high. It's just that there is no supply as he said. But is that even possible that BTC will ran out of supply? I mean there must still be a supply left, because there are still people who are hodling it.

And there are also traders who trade actively, so people can always buy a BTC. The one you describe there of selling a BTC at an even expensive price, sounds like an auction. Only big buyers are involved here. But for the retail investors, they can buy BTC at a specified price in the exchanges. It may still be expensive sometimes but they can choose to buy at smaller portions.

Which one's more advantageous though? Low leverage or high leverage because I do think that with their risks being different, there's got to be one that's better than the other for day trading. I'm really curious how people make a living out of this specially those didn't have any kind of other ways to make money besides this, and if they're really getting a net positive in terms of quality of life and work balance because if I recall correctly, day trading takes a large chunk of your time in a day.
Advantage may depend on us. Some are comfortable with high leverage and they can make more money out of it, in exchange of taking more risks. While some prefer to stick with low leverage for a while up until they build up a good experience. The return for it may only be small but they are not bothered with it because they can only treat it as a side hustle for now. They still have their main job like an office work or a business, that provides them a bigger and a much stable income. Some traders can focus on the market and looking at their screens most time but some can only use a bot. This allows them to do other things in their life.

The basic target for such projects and apps is people who are not well aware of the crypto space and how things work. They start their project by creating a mobile app that users can download and start mining tokens while they implement a referral program where users can invite other people to join the platform and those referring others will either get some tokens or have their mining speed increased, so those using the platform invite their friends and family and this chain continues until the project gets millions of users and most of these users are crypto illiterates.

When you tell a person that they can earn money by just downloading an app and opening it only once in 24 hours, they wouldn't refuse to do that because it's nothing, however, they don't know the fact that the coins or tokens they are getting might not even unlock and they might only be wasting their time referring people and doing all the required tasks, etc.
305  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why people mostly fail in trading on: January 21, 2024, 07:25:53 PM
most mistakes of traders are;

* Thinking it's a get rich quick scheme or thinking that it's easy.

* Having no proper training in the craft to attain knowledge about it.
Self-learning is a thing, and people need to understand this. You can't expect other people to spoon-feed you every single thing, they might give you a general idea about that thing, and the rest is your responsibility. Do research, read material, watch videos, and do every other thing required to gain the knowledge necessary for the craft, so that you get completely ready before you get into it.

* Having no experience traders that is good in the craft to guide them.
As I said above, one shouldn't wait for someone else to train them and then they will make a move, the world of the internet is full of knowledge, it's up to you whether you want to get knowledge or not. It's not difficult to learn something if you have an interest in it, no matter what it is.
306  Economy / Economics / Re: Vitalik Buterin's Financial Advice on: January 20, 2024, 05:25:51 PM
There is no magical with his financial advise. They are mostly common and we hear it typically from the usual financial advisors.

But he is right, in all of them I like what he said about have a boring portfolio. What boring is like? when you hear most people say and advise to buy the same thing, Bitcoin.

Some may take his advise to diversify, many might take it personally to the point that they will diversify with pump and dump coins which is wrong.
Bitcoin, boring? Cheesy. No it's not, because it's highly volatile. So it's actually thrilling to have a BTC. And once you know to handle it, BTC can be a highly profitable crypto. Vitalik is a famous crypto personality. So indeed that some will take his advice personally or seriously. Add in the fact that his advices are also common (as you said).

However to diversify does not mean that we are now going for the crap coins since there are also plenty of great coins out there. But, I still won't say that investing in a pump and dump coin is wrong because they are also profitable as long as you know how to time your moves. In short in needs a very good skill first.
307  Economy / Speculation / Re: Signs you should know to take profit from your crypto investment on: January 20, 2024, 03:15:53 PM
sign for maximum take profit by calculating the halving time. usually 1 year after halving the price of all crypto currencies will reach the new ATH price of its latest high point. you can check the price history2 altcoin or bitcoin 1 year after halving, halving 2012 check the price of 2013, halving 2016 check the price of 2017, halving 2020 check the price of 2021 and all reached its latest ATH price.
Many think that the halving time can up lift the price of the crypto. It may be true but I won't say we are now going to profit at max percent because there is more to come after it. Like you, others believe too that ATH can only be attained a year after halving but the majority thinks it will occur on the same year as the halving. We can even think that after it will be a correction first. I am not aware of other post halving performance of cryptos other than in 2018 and I know, the price of cryptos are dumping during it. This is what I'm talking about. The same year was also the start of the fall of ICOs. But it was a good thing since almost all of them are a scam.
308  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: January 19, 2024, 03:21:42 AM
I have been notice Brest achievement this season because they have a potention to finish at higher positions on league standings compared to last season and their performance much impressive now because from 10 latest matches in all competitions Brest can able to gets 7 wins and only lose twice even from those matches Brest can gets 6 cleansheet and from these statistics we can see Brest has strong balanced to attack and defense and if they can able to managed their performance until end of this season i think they have a good chance to finish at top 5 and playing at European competitions which is this was never done before

Previously Brest target is only to avoiding relegation zone because the owner know it's hard to compete with big teams just like Monaco, Lille or Marseille for european zone but surprisingly Brest has fantastic performance this season and until week 18 Brest have already to collect 34 points with only gets 4 loses but after fight against FC Trélissac at France Cup Brest will gets hard match next weekend because they have to fight against PSG and most likely Brest will suffering their 5th loses from this match because we all know PSG is unstoppable at this league and it's very hard to beat them
Since being promoted again 4 years ago, Brest has been able to get very good results this season, it looks very strong, has strong consistency and it seems like what you said, Brest seems to have no difficulty competing in League 1 and the only difficulty that is considered difficult is competing against PSG and Monaco but with other clubs Brest was able to get a draw and win.
I'm just curious about how far this club can maintain its performance, whether it can last until the end of the season or just temporarily.
If you look at the depth of Brest's players, it looks like this club will appear consistent until the end of the season and playing against Trelissac is a very easy task.
In last season they were ended on 14th and there were no chance like this which they are achieving and having good chance for staying into top ranks too many top clubs are struggling and having no chance for the competing for the top spots, but they are doing impressive run now on 28th January they are going to visit PSG which is surely going to be the toughest challenge for them, but one thing is sure PSG will also face something impressive because in current season they are not easy opponent for the top teams.

Their attack and defense both are doing good job and have good combination which is giving them fair chance even still things can take changes but as they have done in first half of this season this is surely impressive and with this consistency and quality they deserve to be stayed in these top ranks until end of this season and have good reward for their consistency.
309  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 17, 2024, 06:55:53 PM
~~~

Sadly I agree, they have a stronger squad than Liverpool. First XI’s are similar in quality but Man City have more depth.

Their time is coming though next year when they will face the PL in court over allegations of breaking the rules. They have 115 charges, everything from huge points deductions to relegation is possible.
Yes, maybe that's what all Premier League teams hope for Manchester City. If not, it will be very difficult for all existing teams to stop their dominance. I'm not sure Manchester City can really be punished even if they get 115 charges, they will definitely defend themselves as best they can to avoid getting punished.
In Premier League you never know what is going to happen in coming days with on field and off the field all is surely no predictable currently many are looking for the punishment of Manchester City in coming season as we have for the Everton but is this possible or things will be gone on same way without any trouble because huge amount of money is involved, and they know how to fix things with their own sources.

Manchester City club's opponents are surely wanted to have things like these but for me most chances we will have nothing like this because they have deep sources which are helping them in the past, and they will be also helpful for them in coming days as well, or even we can have some soft punishment for them which will give no problem for them like fine with money is also possible but for this all we have to wait very long because it is long passage without any destination.

The Eredivise is competitive no doubt and consistency works very much for the teams there. It's winter season and so the teams ought to brace up to gain enough grounds ahead of post winter break. PSV and Ajax are doing explicitly well in the league as they've been able to keep up with game victories too.
For Alkmaar, they're lagging behind and it's really taking toll on them and their points on the league table too.
 
 They've just got to find a balance and get back to their pace. Their league isn't even as competitive as other European leagues as there are just a few teams that are tough in their play. They can still meet up with points and stay at a good spot on the table too. Congratulations to Ajax and PSV, they're good and are growing better gradually regardless of the little loopholes that they're having too.
First half of this season was having some troubles for the Ajax and PSV is going ruthless without losing any point but now as things comeback on his best look like excitement will be at the top, and we will have soccer full of entertainment from these top teams in last five games we have 13 points for the Ajax which is now at the 5th spot and having just 5 points difference from the AZ Alkmaar which is badly struggling and can lose his spot to Ajax in coming weeks, but Ajax is having target of third spot which is not easy but how things going to have turned it's also important because Twente is also at his best, and we can expect tough challenge for them and Ajax for the third spot with PSV and Feyenoord are going to stay at the top without any challenge difference is big and matches are just 17 remaining.
311  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are your predictions for the state of Bitcoin in 2024? on: January 17, 2024, 08:30:24 AM
Since 2022, the value of Bitcoin has begun to fall. Following that, 2023 was a much worse year; in late 2003, a new version of Bitcoin was released. Furthermore, the market is gradually improving and stabilising. By 2024, we expect a slow recovery from our Bitcoin downturn. In the near future, it will also bring us good news. Things will get better with time. Do you think Bitcoin will be superior by 2024? Please share your thoughts.
I don't think you've been following the market closely because you need to get your facts checked. 2023 wasn't worse for Bitcoin and the market because the market started recovering when we entered 2023. Bitcoin managed to reach $28k from $17k in the first couple of months in 2023, and by the end of the year, the price of Bitcoin reached about $45k. So, I don't see how and on what basis you are saying that 2023 was much worse for Bitcoin and the overall market.

If we talk about 2024, it is going to be a part of the recovery process, but I don't expect a lot of action in 2024, at least not until the halving event occurs. We might see some surprising ups and downs after that which will occur in April. So, these three or four months are almost going to go with the market going mostly sideways.
312  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin Drop to Zero? on: January 17, 2024, 06:21:32 AM
Former deputy governor, BOE believes Bitcoin can drop to zero. I wonder what his opinion is at the moment.

"Their price can vary quite considerably and they could theoretically or practically drop to zero." Jon Cunliffe saiid.

And what's the different between theoritical and practical drop to zero for BTC?

Can the price theoritically drop to zero but practically trade above $40k. Kinda confusing.
If he used the word "They", I'm pretty sure he is referring to altcoins and we all know that altcoins do tend to have such natures, and many altcoin projects have gone to zero and we call it a rug pull where the developers dump all their tokens on the market and run away with the funds while other holders get no liquidity to sell their assets and the project dies at that point. He can't refer to Bitcoin using that word, and he can't say things like that about Bitcoin if he has at least a little bit of knowledge about it.

And since he also said it could theoretically happen, it pretty much clears the meaning that even he knows that Bitcoin or all of the cryptocurrencies could never go to zero all of a sudden unless every single cryptocurrency user in the world stops using cryptocurrencies all of a sudden, there would be no transactions, no buys and sells nothing, but that doesn't sound realistic which is why he used the word theoretically.

Today in the second T20 match against Sri Lanka, the players of Zimbabwe have given a great batting performance. In the first innings, Sri Lanka scored 173 runs for the loss of 6 wickets and set a target of 174 runs to the Zimbabwean team. Although 173 runs in a T20 match is a very big score, but today Zimbabwe won the match brilliantly by breaking this big score by 178 runs. In today's match Zimbabwe team batsman Craig Ervine showed great batting and impressed the crowd, he scored 70 runs off 54 balls only to win the team. Craig Ervine, the batsman of Zimbabwe team, has to make a name for himself, he won today's match and brought Zimbabwe to level the third T20 series game, now the result is 1-1. However, Zimbabwe managed to win the match with one ball to spare against Sri Lanka and walked away with a remarkable 4-wicket win.
Today we have interesting situation in this match as after winning toss Zimbabwe decided to bat and have good start but in late overs good comeback from Sri Lanka with their top order fail to give them positive start but at the end they manage to score 173 runs which was looking good because while in chase Zimbabwe losing wickets regularly, but Craig Ervine was doing good job which helps them for alive in this match but as they lost this important wicket things were gone wrong way and until 19th over Sri Lanka were hot favorite to win match and series but 20th over was disastrous for the Sri Lanka and veteran Angelo Mathews as he concedes 20 runs and give impressive win to Zimbabwe Luke Jongwe change the match momentum in first three balls of the match and bring this win from the Sri Lankan jaws.

Al-Hilal, who haven't lost even once this season in the Saudi Pro League, is truly extraordinary. And this is also a sign that Al-Hilal is indeed the best this season. Even Al-Nassr lost when facing them. Al-hilal managed to pass the 19 matches in the Saudi Pro League without defeat. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr has had 3 defeats and the defeats were from the first 2 matches of the season when Cristiano Ronaldo was absent in the first 2 matches.

I also hope Al-Nassr can win the title this season. But I realize that it really won't be easy with the remaining games in the season. Unless Al-hilal loses their consistency in the middle of this season.

I also can't wait to see the matches between Al-hilal vs Inter Miami and Al-Nassr vs Inter Miami. Yes, these two matches will definitely attract the attention of all football fans. Especially for fans of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. And everyone is also curious whether Al-hilal, who is unbeaten in the SPL, will be defeated by Inter Miami.
It is really unbelievable that they had zero losses all season long, there are still some time left until the season ends and when the league is guaranteed, players may let go a bit, they still have teams way too close to them right now to let go.

I remember during the covid period Liverpool had a season where they did not lose for a looooong time, they were considered as a potential to finish the season without ever losing, I think it was 19-20 season or so, the covid period exactly. But then between giving a break due to covid and facing City and all, they ended up losing eventually, had three losses total, but they won with 15+ point difference, which is why they didn't care about losing all that much that season.
315  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is the bull run begun ? on: January 15, 2024, 06:24:09 PM
With the current performance of Bitcoins, should we say that the Bitcoin bull run has begun or we should expect the real bull run  after the halving as usual.
The current market state is already bringing joy, is this a sort of trap or what could have led to the current positive market performance.

I do really think, sharing experience can help one learn and avoid the shock of greediness on investment. Tell us your view on bitcoins market performance recently
We cannot really know yet. By expectations, the bull run should occur after the halving event, and after some months of it, and the halving event will occur approximately in April, this year. However, by definition, a bull run is when the market and the prices of assets are going up, and we can see that happening, although we are not sure if this will continue or if we will see the market declining soon and have a healthy correction taking it back to around $36k or something.

The current uptrend is providing great scalping opportunities to day traders because a lot of altcoins are performing very well. BNB has managed to go across $300 again which wasn't expected to happen this soon. I was thinking maybe it will hit $300 again only after Bitcoin goes above $50k or something.

The page isn't loading up for me at this moment, but from what I'm reading in the comments, I'm pretty sure that it showcases confessions of people about their journey with cryptocurrencies, and as you said, we can probably relate to a lot of stories that people have to say about their journey in this world because almost all of us were living different lives before getting to know Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and our life sort of changed after knowing Bitcoin first and then other cryptocurrencies.

Most of us have started our journey with Bitcoin faucets where we used to claim small amounts of Bitcoin every day and become happy for having Bitcoins. Maybe not all but I know a lot of those reading my post can relate to this. There are a lot of other things that most of us did in the initial days, and if one of us shares an experience, all others can relate, for sure.

Stuttgart should have no difficulty against Gladbach, but once again the hosts are definitely aiming for the same number of points so they can continue to survive in the Bundesliga. Stuttgart may be at the top at the moment but if they can't win against a team with quite a big gap, it's certain that Stuttgart will have a dark end to the season. A narrow defeat may be quite natural, but with a difference of 2 it proves that Stuttgart does not have complete control.
In this game we have good performance from the Gladbach which is trying to bring themselves to the middle of the league table and high-flying Stuttgart is now facing troubling time with now this is second defeat in last three games which are surely going to hurt them for the chance of staying into top four and having Champions League spot two early goals from the Hack bring great pressure on them which not allowed them to have anything positive even in second half we have improved performance, but now they are having not enough resistance and in second half we have both teams score one goal each which bring down Stuttgart, and now they have to check their things in coming matches as well because they are in trouble with their rivals are doing good job for staying into tough for the top spots until end of this season.

The price of gold has gradually increased over the fast few years and it continues, people have a high confidence to hold in it because it's relatively less risk free or you can say less risky compared to other investments and I have good investment in gold it was started from few years ago. But young generation are very attracted to invest in Bitcoin they want to risk for high profit.
The young generation isn't wrong. The world is moving forward at an enormous pace, and those who hold back will stay behind for sure. So, taking risks and accepting challenges is the only way to move forward because you can't just stick with traditional modes and depend on them your whole life, you will eventually have to upgrade and challenge yourself and take some risks and who knows, the risks might change your life for once and for all.

There is no doubt that gold is and has been a great investment asset it has been around for centuries which is the reason why it's considered one of the most safest and profitable investment methods for centuries, however, those who invest in gold will have to wait longer to get some profit while one might get multiple folds of their investment in that time with Bitcoin.

To say that they will be knocked out of the World Cup in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, the Brazilian team had a very bad performance from the beginning. Everyone is saying what everyone is thinking, many are saying that Brazil will not be able to participate in the World Cup, etc. But I think the Brazilian team must prove themselves before the Copa America that they play well. 2026 World Cup However, each of their players must play well, if they play well, they will certainly do well in the 2026 World Cup. At one time, Argentina performed very poorly, and now their team's performance is the best. So it is expected that the bad times will come and the bad times will come and the good times will come. Likewise, every player in the Brazil team will have to prove that we can turn around from the bad times.
We can't predict anything about Brazil yet since they started working with their new coach and this coach is totally unknown to the non-Brazilian people and we can't say if Brazil can get anything in the 2026 World Cup or not but the facts about Brazil is they usually had good performance in the past world cups we saw from them and now if don't get the ticket for the 2026 world cup there will be a huge pressure on this country and the people who chose this coach.
I agree here now for the better response we have to wait for their next performance then things will be clear about their future as can they end their deadlock with this new coach, or we are going to face same situation in coming days even most chances we will have some better changes which will help them for having better results and also ending their drought of trophies which are surely needed from them but for this all we have to wait as how new coach will bring changes and how things will be work for them with his strategy which needed because there is no problem with quality it's just needed better motivation and good changing which allow these players to give their best in big events.

Ronaldo's performances at Al Nassr are impressive and puzzling. Thats incredible for a 38-year-old to score 20 goals and assist 9 in 18 games. Its more than his Saudi league experience, I think. Ronaldo's top league stints show he adapts quickly. Although significant, his age feels like a number to him.

His competition level worries me, though. Is his skill or the league's quality helping him score? He's indeed a fantastic player, but context matters. Experience, team support, and league competition may explain his goal-scoring streak. I admire Ronaldo, but I think its necessary to have a balanced assessment of his career so far.
Since his professional career, Cristiano Ronaldo have played on five league from Portugal, Premier League, La Liga, Serie A then Saudi Pro League he has adapt well with all clubs plays and success winning domestic league with three clubs. Most important key from Cristiano Ronaldo is he can adapt well with culture, weather and atmosphere with all club have been joined since his professional career and consistency scoring many goals for every clubs joining.
Left one challenge with Cristiano Ronaldo will win domestic league tittle with Al Nassr for this season? its become second year for him but first season start well although he failed make Al Nassr winning domestic league tittle.
We have the best thing from Cristiano Ronaldo is his ability to adjust which helps him for keeping things at the very high level, and he is one of the most watched sports star and his all things are going to favor his lifestyle and other fitness which is currently ideal for the new generation, and he is also doing his best for the staying in the best shape which is never been easy but still good in 22 years of his professional career we have no negativity from him which make hi one of the most loveable sportsperson and surely many achievements are waiting for him in coming years with he is at the age of 38 still doing good job and have fair enough chance for the staying into better.

Hopefully here in Saudi League he will be able to make his mark even currently they are not good as they wanted, but we can expect he could be better and surely at the top in coming season.
