3141  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: if the bear market starts next month on: February 18, 2021, 02:53:36 PM
And if ever that will happen, I don't think it will stay longer. Why? I know people will buying more, many were get crazy to take the chance but because of that, trading volume and market demand will rise again pushing the price to move back high. It is likely to say that there no possibility that we get back to the price 2 or 3 years ago. Maybe we have to accept now the thing can't see bearish season anymore.

That is why, if we have the plan to invest, may we have to start it now. Don't wait that it reaches $50k. just saying...

I love to hear people being optimistic for the incoming. I once heard this during the previous bullish season but most of them find it wrong and get a ride on the bearish market.

People are asking when it dumps and when its pumps. It is tiring to keep hearing those questions. Why we should have to bother that thing, we don't know what the will be the incoming? Instead of asking this, I think it is much better to enjoy the volatility that we have because whether we like it or not, the market will look like this forever.
3143  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: taking profit can be hard sometimes. on: February 17, 2021, 11:29:52 PM
Its hard to take profit because you always worry the profit can be higher if you wait to sell it.
Instead of doing that, just happy with any profit you have right now, because no one can promise you a higher profit if you sell that in the future Wink
Also, you may have another opportunity to buy it when dip.
Consistently having 1-2% gains everyday is big enough that to wait 1 year and just get 100% profit. I certainly can't imagine that why people keep ignoring every pump to make a sell, unless if you don't have a plan to sell but to hold it forever.

We could hear that some are regretting selling their coins before it hitting their new ATH. That would supposedly do if we are not making a profit but if we get some, I don't think there is a need to regret nor to blame ourselves because of being impatient.
3144  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: New Government Rules Mean No More Gambling Sponsorship on: February 17, 2021, 08:17:24 AM
I think there's no harm on banning t-shirt sponsorship, just maybe a little, unless there's a lot more behind that t-shirt sponsorship. Sponsorship is just a little token of gratitude for a certain team because they are doing great and give nice profits to the sports betting agencies. But I guess the government is just too paranoid to even ban such sponsorship, I mean there's no merit on doing so. They should confront first the betting agency regarding to this matter because they might just want tax in order to increase their benefits in every gambling platform.

They are paranoid because they realize that there's a possible risk of a betting site sponsoring a certain league, it's all about its credibility and on how it promote the gambling nature in a certain sports, some countries do allow gambling but they always put some limitation, and that includes this example.
3145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua on: February 17, 2021, 08:04:59 AM
Mayweather thought he was better than Muhammad Ali, can you believe that?
That's why he does not get a respect from great boxers and some fans.
Mayweather is a self proclaimed greatest fighter and you cannot even compare him to Muhammad Ali  Cheesy. He is a troll and i have read his statement on how he is greatest which is absurd but i respect Mayweather for his defensive skills as he rarely gets punched in the face throughout his career and that is a big deal but he is playing a character to attract more attention and he is successful in it.

Not new to him, he will say anything that will create impact to social media or to any medium that will bring noise for his name. Just like you mentioned he's  a self proclaimed greatest fighter.

Though bringing his stats that can be rewarded to him, ending his career with all the title and without any defeats, if this man only humble more fans will praise him, but he's not and he made more money by doing that, things that he choose to manage his fortune and to create more for hin bank checks!

A real boxing fan would not agree with Mayweather self proclamation that he is the greatest boxer, maybe some would agree that he is better than Manny but not betting than Muhammad Ali. Boxing is suppose to be a warrior, not the kind of style he is showing as a boxer, just my personal thoughts only.
3146  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will not reach $50,000 on: February 16, 2021, 10:49:29 PM
You are wrong OP, bitcoin hits $50k already and that's the new ATH thus far.

I tell you, it's hard to be bearish when the market is full of bulls, anytime a price even how big the wall is can be achieve, and we just hit $50k before it fall back a bit, next stop would probably be $60k, that could be achieved in the next few days, the run still continues.
3147  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: February 16, 2021, 10:34:30 PM
I’m glad Anthony Davis’ injury doesn’t appear to be overly serious. I think LeBron can carry the Lakers by himself for a few weeks while AD recovers. As long as that team is healthy by the playoffs they should be fine. I don’t like that people’s first reaction was that the Nets will win the title...

This is LA's schedule up to the end of the month:

vs Timberwolves
vs Nets
vs Heat
vs Wizards
vs Jazz

So probably Lebron can carry half of those games, but against Nets and Jazz he might need more help as those are two powerful teams right now, specially Jazz which is very deep specially Clarkson's as 6th MOTY candidate.

I'll bet against the Lakers when they'll face the Nets, Heat, and especially on the Jazz.
I guess this is the best time for a team to beat the Lakers as Davis is not playing, so it will only be Lebron against these good teams.

Can't wait for the Nets vs Lakers.
3148  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you expect that the price of will Bitcoin reach $40k in the month of February on: February 15, 2021, 09:50:34 PM
Since I'm late and it has already happened, I will just say what I thought before that $40k was achieved.

Honestly, I did not think that bitcoin would hit $40k this year, but now since bitcoin already hit that figure, I think $50k is the next target.
Bitcoin has been trying to break that in the past few days but still failed, however, price is still bullish so few more tries then $50k will be the new ATH.
3149  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Should I sell my xrp or wait until $1? on: February 15, 2021, 09:31:46 PM
XRP will not reach $1 until they resolved the issues they are facing. What you see is just someone attempts to make a bullrun but you and all others who are expecting because of emotions are all victim to see if they can create a panic. If you are in profit then you can sell it right away, as believe me, price will goes back again on the ceiling at $0.2. Not a financial advice but that's what I'm seeing. You won't able to sleep properly if you overthink that too much lol.
Perhaps, you're saying it correctly bro I think I'm just thinking out too big for now due to the upward trend of current chart. Certainly I've been selling what I got and take the profit I wanted, and most probably my contingency plans would be established once price will become bearish again until $15 or lesser. Thankfully, I would able to sleep well tonight unlike other nights which went so unwell due to stress.

That's the challenge for you now if your plan will be successful. Don't mind XRP if it will reach $1 or not as long as you are making profits on those short trades. It will take time before that price reaches no matter how good the speculation is.

As I said, there will be lots of price swings in action that can happen anytime so that's a good opportunity to gain more quantity and good return instead of waiting on a $1 target.

That's better than waiting for a 1 usd price when XRP is facing some legal problems.  Just enjoy the price volatility as no coin is exempted during this bull run, except for the stable coin. XRP for now if you will take it as a long term investment, the price is not a good entry, as although it will pump if they win the case, the risk of getting dump if they lose the case is very huge.
3150  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What to avoid as a beginner in trading Bitcoin? on: February 14, 2021, 02:34:34 PM
----
That really happens.

It brings anxiety and making you decide in a quick time but later on, you have to regret what you've done. Luckily, for those who have experience with the bear markets. It did help us to have long patience and anticipation of the market's recovery.

Just control it and make a wise decision everytime you trade, beginners or not.

Controlling your emotions is really easy to say, but really hard to execute when in the moment. I personally recommend taking a deep breather when in the moment as this will clear your mind, and make you start thinking somehow rational when in the situation. This will always help, even not in trading. Also, keep in track with your plan, as this will suggest the best possible move you can do when in the situation.
Thus, if we really have this problem, it could be better to step out in trading because honestly, this is not the right place for us. You can't avoid this as a human being and much more if we are too desperate to make money. Everything will be rejected once caught by emotions. 

emotion + stress = losses

It is certainly out of our mind and can't decide so well.
3151  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think Elon Musk is a Dogecoin shill? on: February 14, 2021, 07:03:03 AM
LOL, maybe  Grin.
He always tweeting about dogecoin nonstop maybe testing his influence? but if he already did that for months doesn't that means he's just trying to hype up dogecoin and increase the demand somehow?
Honestly the one who knows whether he's just shilling or not is elon himself but considering that he's already a billionaire I think he just doing it out of trolling or to relieve stress it's like a dang game after all.
Okay, let's say that he is just playing the market now but I don't think he could able to stick for this long in crypto if he is just joking. IMO, he's not. He is shilling Doge for one reason and that he wanted to make money for this. He hated crypto before but he loves it now. It is to accept that he's changing his mind now, and the influence that he has it gives us a huge surprise.

What he does can't be just ignored, he makes another story anyway in the crypto world. He is supporting it now and supposedly we are happy, everyone has their benefits for what he did. 
3152  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When you did first trade was you trained? Any jokes happen to you? on: February 13, 2021, 10:43:39 PM
I started trading in 2016, I was trained by "youtube", haha.. that's the reality, I learned myself and I find it effective as somehow I was able to make money from trading, but that was a long time ago, I am not actively trading now, just holding my coins as I'm quite busy with my real job that requires lots of time.

IMO, trading requires some focus, but holding does not, so I'm just trying to be effective in both of the things I'm doing.
3153  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Elon musk changed the market circles on: February 13, 2021, 10:28:45 PM
we know that there is ups and downs in the market. But this time market correction not come yet.

Due to elon mask entering to this market so big bear market not come unlike 2018 jan ?


Bear market will always come no matter how bullish the market now, there's no way we have this parabolic increase increase consistently, the volatility of the market will exist and that is after a bull run, correction happens. Let's not focus on that yet, the market is so bullish, it's good to play with it while it's still here as it might take another years for a bull run to come again.

just a matter of time before we will see the bearish season. but before it happens, enjoy this moment and take advantage of the opportunities that it may bring to you.
we are fortunate that there are big names supporting the community, not only by word but actual investments to crypto. their move actually lessen the hesitations of those people who are still looking at crypto as fraud. lets get real here. there are still people who are considering crypto being used only in illegal activities because thats what they are hearing from news. but if these names or big companies are getting inside, then maybe they will start educating themselves whats really in store for them in crypto

Investing now doesn't mean investing in the future, some investors can play the market with their influence to do a price manipulation, with Elon's status he can do that, yes, we have to be thankful that he touched crypto this year, it made some profitable but I don't know if these people who get into FOMO will still enjoy once the correction starts, or do they know what they are doing?
3154  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Should I sell my xrp or wait until $1? on: February 13, 2021, 02:42:17 PM
Just sell it now f you could see already a decent price now.
Anyways, I don't give you loose hopes nor discourage you from holding XRP because if you are thinking that XRP will rally high at $1, I can't say that you are wrong but maybe yes.

This XRP never has that price since before ( correct if I'm wrong). Price is already controlled by the devs which is hard to believe that he will lose his hands and let the market change it. But I don't have such feeling and the price will remain at low below $1 which is we normally saw since from the start.
3155  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I messed up and feel terrible about it on: February 13, 2021, 01:28:07 PM
The good thing about this experience is that you are using your best "plan b" so it has calmed you down. The opinion of the experts is that it is never too late to invest in bitcoin. In a joking way I tell you if Elon Musk took a little time to invest while he took care of the dog because we can't do it now. There is a significant capital in bitcoin that will fortunately give it the strength that we have wanted so much and we will probably never again see the price of bitcoin at the historical lows of the past.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/investor/2020/12/18/is-it-too-late-to-buy-bitcoin/

Ain't a joke anyway. That be a serious scenario, it comes to the moment asking ourselves why I did this? Why neglected to see this while many of them are busy already buying Bitcoin?

Mistakes come first before we realize that we are wrong and taught us lessons. Not to wonder why many investors sell their Bitcoin too early because they are also looking back last 2017. The bad experience that we share those days taught us not to be more optimistic, not being a Perma bull but, it is too unfortunate that the market seems so different and mostly we miss the chance.
3156  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: You can't always hit the right target on: February 13, 2021, 12:47:48 PM
When it comes to buying something you can't always make the right decision and you can't always get the right but yet but by doing due diligence and making proper research you can cut through a lot of bad projects and be left with a few good ones to choose from the good ones at the end of the day may not turn out to be great projects but it would help you minimise the risk of promoting some projects for months and wasting your effort

That's a more realistic explanation, we can only be perfect if we see the future, but no one can see the future so sometimes we make wrong prediction. What we have to make sure is that we make more correct prediction than the wrong ones, just like gambling, we need to win more that we lose and also it's necessary to properly manage the funds we have, otherwise, with lack of discipline and being too emotional, we will still lose in the end.

Utah Jazz made Bucks look so ordinary, the game wasn't even as close as the scoreline might have suggested imo  Grin

You said it right, and our pick is just right on the bucket.

I was not able to watch it live, so I check the highlights and what you are telling is correct.

How can the Bucks beat the Jazz with these players scoring like all star.

Gobert - 27 points
Mitchell - 26 points
Ingles - 27 points
Clarkson - 25 points ( 6th month of the year)

Congrats on that win mate, it's truly easy to watch when your team is dominating the game. I'm afraid Jazz will become the best contender this season in the championship, they are playing a very impressive basketball, everyone is scoring and you'll never know where the offense will be coming.

This is the team that you can't play a double team because everyone is willing to score and they are so confident now.

WIN STREAK has been extended to 6.
3158  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Investing and Trading Strategies. on: February 12, 2021, 11:38:23 PM
I guess there's many ways to do this. Let's say you invest £500. Your goal is to 10x you investments and happily pull out.
You invest in 5 coins. £100 each.

You track your investments and see that on your £500, you now are overall 100% up and see you have made £500, so £1000 in total.

Any strategies here I can get to know?
Much better if you put it all together, maybe you can get a chance rather than spread it in 5 different coins. But that only if you are investing in good time because, in the reality, x10 is yet too far but of course, there is still a (small) chance.

Would you pull out £500 or would you leave it all in to grow to your 10x?
I take the capital and secured it first, and leave my profit in there for another set of buying. because if you are a trader and you love doing it, no way to stops doing this especially when are profiting.

snip~

This seems like a kind of manipulation. When someone who has more popularity enters some coin, It makes some investors think, Him/her involvement will affect the project and It will pump. There fore lots of retailers are attracting to those.
I don't see any manipulation from them, they never do the hypes anyway.

Take a look into how Elon did, there is a different result and I have to believe that not all celebs are influential.
Anyway, thanks to them for their support and let them do the help, maybe it could be recognized soon and their followers will show some interest in Bitcoin.
