Not only blaming Apple, when Facebook went down a while ago, Zuckerberg also blamed TikTok for their losses. They mentioned that quite a lot of their users have switched to TikTok and don't check in to their Facebook account anymore https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10471227/Facebook-loses-users-time-Zuckerberg-blames-TikTok-boom.html. But it's also quite funny considering that even though they are losing money, they still have 1.9 billion users on their platform and this number will also increase.

I think the most plausible reason for this loss is because the bubble has burst because most stocks of tech companies are overvalued https://www.thestreet.com/investing/tech-sell-off-continues-signs-point-to-a-bubble-burst.

Kebanyakan token yang scam sekarang ini adalah meme token yang biasanya menawarkan refleksi, sistem deflationary, staking dan likuiditas. Orang seringkali terkecoh untuk berinvestasi pada token seperti ini karena dengan modal sedikit holder bisa mendapatkan banyak token dan juga reward yang ditawarkan oleh token ini biasanya cukup besar.

Sebaiknya sebelum berinvestasi pada sebuah token perhatikan team mereka dan lakukan research terlebih dahulu sebelum memutuskan untuk berinvestasi. Dan yang paling penting jangan terikut FOMO yang biasanya terjadi di kalangan investor baru crypto. Karena kebanyakan orang merugi di pasar crypto akibat FOMO dan diimingi profit yang besar dengan modal yang sedikit.

Khususnya di negara kita Indonesia, banyak orang yang asal-asalan berinvestasi pada koin-koin yang tidak jelas backgroundnya karena diimingi keuntungan yang besar. Banyak sekali meme token yang di pasarkan di Indonesia dan mengincar orang-orang yang masih minim edukasi mengenai investasi pada cryptocurrency. Sehingga ketika mereka mengalami kerugian, mereka akan menyebut bahwa cryptocurrency itu adalah sebuah penipuan, padahal itu adalah investasi bodong berkedok cryptocurrency seperti pada kasus ini https://nasional.kontan.co.id/news/korban-penipuan-cryptocurrency-rp-25-miliar-melapor-ke-polda-metro-jaya.

Forex sendiri merupakan suatu kegiatan perdagangan mata uang, dimana penggunanya bisa mendapatkan keuntungan dari selisih keuntungan mata uang yang mereka perdagangkan https://www.ocbcnisp.com/id/article/2021/03/15/apa-itu-forex

Sebelum masuk ke pasar ini kita harus memperhatikan beberapa hal, pertama besaran leverage atau daya ungkit yang kita inginkan (terdapat angka 100, 200, dsb, - semakin besar angka maka akan semakin besar daya ungkit), broker tempat kira berdagang (seperti XM, OctaFX, FBS,dll), teknik perdagangan (Fibonnaci, Ichimoku Kinko Hyo, dll), news atau berita (ForexNewsArmy, dll) menentukan besaran rugi dan untung (1 kali rugi 2 kali untung atau 3 kali untung 2 kali rugi, dst), time frame yang tepat, dan yang paling penting manajemen emosi (ini yang paling sulit). Dan kalau semua hal ini sudah dipersiapkan, maka kita siap untuk masuk ke pasar forex.

Ketika memasuki pasar perdagangan forex ini artinya kita sudah siap bahwa modal yang kita punya akan hilang di pasar karena mungkin saja selisih harga dari mata uang yang kita perdagangkan tidak sesuai dengan ekspetasi kita atau bisa dibilang bahwa aktifitas perdagangan kita merugi. Dan ketika hal ini terjadi, maka manajemen emosi sangat penting. Biasanya orang yang baru pertama kali berdagang di Forex ketika melihat modal mereka tergerus maka akan panik dan hal tersebut adalah wajar, intinya trader harus pandai dalam mengatur batas support dan resistance dan juga SL/TP dan membaca news. Dan sebelum memasuki pasar real, ada baiknya trader belajar dahulu pada akun demo. Jangan terburu-buru masuk ke pasar real dan berekspetasi bahwa akan mendapatkan keuntungan dari perdagangan.

Hanya sebagian kecil forexer yang mendapatkan keuntungan dari affiliasi, robot, sinyal, copy-trader, video youtube dan grup telegram. Masih banyak trader forex yang mendapatkan keuntungan dari perdagangan mereka, karena memang mereka sudah mengerti kondisi pasar dan pandai dalam membaca chart. Jadi alasan agan dalam menyebut bahwa forexer kebanyakan mendapatkan keuntungan dari video-video mereka itu salah besar. Jika mereka rugi dalam perdagangan mereka itu karena mereka salah dalam membaca kondisi pasar, atau kasus rugi paling sering karena ikut-ikutan sinyal yang ada di grup telegram/robot trading, jadi itu bukan salah broker (kecuali broker memanipulasi chart itu beda cerita).



Tidak hanya forex, ketika melakukan investasi entah itu cryptocurrency, saham atau komoditas, kita juga harus siap bahwa uang yang kita investasikan akan hilang atau rugi. Chart perdagangan yang biasanya ditampilkan oleh broker forex khususnya yang diawasi oleh OJK memang murni kondisi pasar, sehingga kecil kemungkinan terdapat manipulasi chart perdagangan disini. Jadi statement agan ini sepertinya tidak beralasan sama sekali.

It is true that in some countries the circulation of cryptocurrencies is regulated. The government reasons that they want to protect their people from things like fraud, money laundering, etc. https://www.ndtv.com/business/5-reasons-why-cryptocurrency-regulation-is-important-2637741. But I think the regulation of cryptocurrency is quite funny because cryptocurrency itself is a digital asset that was launched to become a decentralized financial system that is free from government or third-party intervention.

thinking that Nigeria is one of the countries with the largest crypto users in the world, Binance might be able to revitalize the crypto community in the country with some actions like account freeze, etc. But back to the local government, do they agree with the steps taken by Binance?

Even though the US debt is very large and has even increased in recent times, the US government has several ways to reduce their debt, such as increasing taxes, reducing the military budget, to creating new money to pay their debts https://www.investopedia.com/updates/usa-national-debt/. And it also seems that the U.S. government has no plans to reduce their debt and even increase their debt in the near future https://carnegieendowment.org/chinafinancialmarkets/78304

"Booster shots with messenger RNA vaccines such as those made by Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE failed to block Omicron in a study of some of the first documented breakthrough cases caused by the highly contagious variant." https://fortune.com/2022/01/19/covid-19-boosters-block-immunity-omicron-study-finds/

It seems that booster vaccines are not very effective in preventing new variants, especially this Omicron variant. So that booster vaccine injection is not the best option for now.

Even though they (legal stores) make little money from selling marijuana due to high taxes, they are doing business legally which is safer and they won't be chased by the police for illegal sales. As for those who sell and grow marijuana illegally, even if they earn a lot, they will not be safe in running their business. They must ensure that the police will not find out where their business is or else their business will be forcibly closed.

I think that we don't need to do things like that anymore because most people nowadays have been vaccinated and our immune system is also used to this coronavirus. But yes, sometimes I wear a mask just in case, for example in places where people are crowded, because I think we also need to wear masks occasionally, especially in places where people are crowded.

Yes, you are right about that. Everyone should have the choice not to wear a mask, not to get vaccinated, or anything else that is forced on them. Those things should be optional, and must be of their will.

Last December, the world was worried about the spread of Omicron in several countries such as America, England, and so on. This new variant of the coronavirus is spreading so fast - from 357,000 cases sequenced in the last 30 days, nearly 59% were omicron.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/variants/omicron-variant.html

And recently there is a new variant called "Son of Omicron" which is more contagious and silent than the previous variant (omicron).

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10450721/Son-Omicron-Covid-variant-touched-Australia.html

What do you think about the new variant? will this be a variant of covid that will kill more people? Will there be more variants of the coronavirus in the future?

To be honest, I was already on 2 doses of vaccine a few months ago and didn't think about getting a booster vaccine which is recommended by the government.

I don't think about fighting new virus variants by using vaccines. I am currently thinking of letting my body's immunity naturally fight the new variants of the coronavirus.

Obviously organizations like the IMF which are driven by global elites don't want decentralized finance to exist in this world https://www.aa.com.tr/en/economy/imf-says-crypto-boom-poses-challenges-to-financial-stability/2380657. They don't want their control over global finance to be compromised by the presence of decentralized finance like Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.

Both of them provide profit or loss to their users, whether it's investment or staking. For now I choose to invest in several companies and at the same time stake tokens to get passive income.

I can't say that staking gives more profit than investment or vice versa. Both have the potential to provide more profit to its users. But I can say that for me (now), staking provides a bigger profit. Besides getting rewards, I also get profit from increasing the price of the tokens I hold.

The difference between the two only lies in the investment instrument, staking can also be regarded as a form of investment because the purpose of investment is to get profit from the investment instrument we choose.

Because Blockchain technology is an innovative and revolutionary technology, where people can make transactions more quickly and securely and free from manipulation. Blockchain technology itself can be applied to various sectors, not only in the financial sector. So that China's decision to allow Blockchain technology in their country will have various advantages. And this will not have a significant impact on their economy.

First of all, how could a deflationary coin like Bitcoin cause inflation? as far as I know, the main factor in inflation is an increase in the prices of goods and services (https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/111314/what-causes-inflation-and-does-anyone-gain-it.asp) . And also El Salvador not only use Bitcoin as their currency, they also use USD to support their economy. So the IMF's reasoning doesn't make sense. Moreover, El Salvador is sovereign over the regulations in their country, and the IMF as a global financial organization should respect any decision made by the president of El Salvador.

Even though Biden is old enough for this, he is still a president for America and a controller of NATO. Indirectly he should be responsible if something happens to the EU, such as cutting gas supply or at worst an invasion of one of the EU countries (which is unlikely to happen).

Qatar has also stated that they will supply gas and oil to the EU through their storage in East Asia. And in return they asked to end the European Commission anti-trust investigation and asked their gas and oil market to return to Europe (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/26/qatar-in-talks-to-supply-gas-to-europe-if-russia-cuts-supplies). So Qatar also doesn't help the EU for free.

Too much logic that doesn't make sense here. Tensions between Russia and Ukraine itself have been going on for a long time, what has caused the conflict to widen is the recent closeness of Ukraine to the western bloc, which makes Russia dislike it.


And when it comes to gas and oil supplies, Europe relies 35% of natural gas on Russia. However, if we look at the situation, even if there is a war and gas supply cuts, Europe can divert their supply to several neighbouring countries (https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/what-are-europes-options-case-russian-gas-disruption-2022-01-27/) although there will be many problems during the transition process, I am sure it will not take long and that the party that will suffer the most is Russia itself because they will lose quite a lot of revenue from gas sales.

I've had 2 doses of the vaccine a few months ago. Only felt a little fever on the first injection, but on the second injection, there were no side effects. But right now I have no thoughts of getting a booster vaccine, which is where the government says it is important to be able to get a booster vaccine to prevent omicron variants. I rely more on the natural immunity of my body to be able to fight the next variants and so far I'm still fine.

I will choose to have a business with a small income but every day, because then I will be able to calculate how my business will run in the future. I can use some of the profit I get for investment and recalculate it. And this way it is much easier to make decisions in the future.
