Arbitrum's TVL has grown expotentially lately, it's the reason for the price hike you are seeing. However, I expect it to dump with the huge unlock that's coming in March, unless there is some change in that unlock via governance, it's likely to dump somewhat.

Personal opinion, I like Optimism better than Arbitrum, but Arbitrum has highest TPS among Layer 2s, and constant development so I'm gonna hold some for indefinite amount of time.

My prediction is that Solana will rise again after the case with FTX and Alameda Research, Solana looks strong after falling to 8$ at the end of last year, now it is at 54$.
I think the last storm before the halving will still be there once again. But Solana will get through this.

I know there are other ways we do fall victim which I think is ok if we share our experience as well but then, how can we bypass this?

1. Check their community: check if their community is active with real humans, not bots

2. How many followers they got

3. How often do they post on social media

4. How many exchanges got them listed? The two qualified exchanges I check, which I have mentioned frequently are Binance and Bitget. These two Cex usually list quality tokens which from my experience I have benefited from

If they ask me to make a choice on altcoin to invest in this new year, Ethereum will still be my choice because I know that their team are strong team and they are capable to make Ethereum the king among all the altcoins in the market for investors to continue making it for their choice. If you look at the altcoins market very well you will see that Ethereum is about to reach $3k and if it happen this year it will help those of us that are lovers of Ethereum to make another huge amount of profits from the market. I know, we still have some good altcoins in the market to invest and everyone has his own choice to make in the market to invest in any altcoins of his or her choice which I chose Ethereum as my choice this year, what is your own choice in altcoins investment if they ask you to invest again in altcoins?

 Do you think I make a good choice this year or I should include BNB so that if one is delaying me in the market, I can try the other one to achieve what I want .

I have been associated with crypto currency for a long time and some people around me are also aware of crypto currency but I have not seen any such real crypto service in our country because cryptocurrency is not legal in my country. In other countries transactions are done through crypto currency, various products are bought and sold through crypto currency. In my country, I don't get the opportunity to buy and sell any product through this currency.

I think they have the right to set those limits because that is within their control. They have the right thing by warning you before they actually took action, because you have violated their terms. As long as you use their services, you still have to comply even it's your money, or you get outfrom there.

So, I watched a video recently where the guest speaker said, that if he gets the opportunity to advise teens in high school he would tell them not to study economics, and it made me scared because I'm studying economics. So, it was like... ' Did I make the wrong choice or something? '. Moving further in the video, I realized that what he was saying and explaining had already been said by my economics lecturer before.

"Economics is a day-to-day practice and is an easy endeavor made difficult for study reasons", he usually said. Watching the video to the end, I asked myself, "If I had the opportunity to go back in time would I pick another course to study? " And the answer was ..." No". And if I have the opportunity to advise any high school student about courses to choose... I'd say "Economics". The more people learn about even basic economics, the better the economy of countries.

So, if you had the opportunity to advise people about courses to choose In University, what would it be and why?

A wise man once said "Entrepreneurs are problem solvers" usually looking for new ways and solutions to both existing and newly discovered problems. So, the word innovation and entrepreneurship work hand in hand and cannot be put separately

Although the words business and Entrepreneurship have been used interchangeably they aren't the same. While Entrepreneurship has to do with the indulgence and bringing up of something new despite the risk, while, business has to do with capital and profit straight up. Here, you buy other people's products and sell them at a higher price.
Both have risks, but that of Entrepreneurship spells out risk itself. Even though I can't shake off the fact that entrepreneurship is simply capitalizing on People's problems to make a profit, I can say that entrepreneurship has positively helped a lot of people.

So, if you had the opportunity to invest your money into something would it be to start up something regardless of the amount of risks that come with it, or would you rather open a business or make a simple investment into assets?

 

Nobody cares about their update anyway. They and Facebook cause FUD some few years back by banning crypto related ads for no proper reason, yet they would still allow phishing scams and Ponzi schemes to be advertised, and now they made a U turn?
I have just one word for them, clowns! 🤡

I have been in a dilemma for some time now. Do I invest Bitcoin or I will start binary trade. I could not understand anything. Sometimes I feel like doing binary trade. I think that if I don't lose it, it goes around in my mind. But I did a lot of messing with Bitcoin. And read many websites and articles. After seeing everything and I have been around in the crypto world for a long time. I have experience on Bitcoin because Bitcoin 2022 was priced a lot. But now 2023 he is going to Bitcoin and at the beginning of this 24th and I am growing. For that I ask you for feedback if you give your valuable ideas then what is better for me because I have been in conflict with Aibitcoin and Binary Trade for a long time. But in many places I see that I have people and some they are making a lot of money.

I became worried and found it difficult to answer after my friend asked me scary and ridiculous questions about Bitcoin ownership.
he asked. If friends, new acquaintances, or other people find out that you have a sizable amount of Bitcoin, and you don't tell them. Then you are kidnapped with several people covering their faces, with the aim of getting your wallet address with the risk that if you don't give it you will be killed.
And another reason, you have given your wallet address to members you trust, such as family members or your wife and children.

And I want to know, what are you going to do.
Aren't you going to give the bad guy your wallet address, and you let him get killed. However, your Bitcoins remain safe because you have given your wallet address to someone you trust.
Or you will give it away because you still want to live, and you don't have any more Bitcoins.

And it was just a casual conversation with a friend of mine who both owns Bitcoin, and I was just wondering what other people's answers to this dreaded question made me want to create a thread.

I would say yes in so many cases, yes trading of futures is not for newbies, yes trading is not for for someone that have no knowledge of the craft, yes trading is not for an impatience person, yes trading is not for someone that have no knowledge of technical analysis, yes trading is not for those that think it's a get rich quick scheme, yes it not for everyone because their are some people that even though they are being taught trading since from childhood, they wouldn't still know anything about it, but just know that in trading, their are people that are born for it, they knows the craft like ABC, even though they get some losses at some point, they will still be profitable, because they know how to manage their risk, so you are right, trading is not for everyone.

Quitting smoking has two big benefits, and I've been doing it for over 3 months. And both can be said to be long-term investments, apart from long-term health, the money used to buy cigarettes can also be used to invest and I invested in Bitcoin.
In one month I can spend approximately $90 to buy cigarettes, and the price of the cigarettes I buy is around $2/pack for one pack a day and sometimes more than one pack.
And by quitting smoking, I was able to increase my regular monthly Bitcoin purchases from a portion of my monthly salary as well as $90 per month in cigarette money.
And I definitely felt a difference in my health and also saw a difference in my Bitcoin holdings after increasing my purchases, and I wish I could do it forever. Honestly, even though I don't do it, sometimes I am still tempted to want to smoke again when hanging out with friends and also at certain moments.
And the strong reason I stopped smoking was because my wife likes to nag me if I smoke at home because I have small children, and over time I decided to stop smoking. And previously I tried it several times but failed, and now I haven't smoked for more than 3 months and I hope I can do it forever because it has two extraordinary benefits. Health and can increase my investment.

Even if aging is a crime we have to accept it because it is a law of nature. Age will never stand still, it will only increase. There are several stages of age in our life. People are usually separated into different age categories by considering several stages of age. In old age a man's behavior becomes almost childlike and at that time a man cannot return to youth even if he wanted to. There are many who had a good life in their youth but are helpless in their old age, that is why they are helpless in their old age because they did not think about their future in their youth. Those who think that people's age is not always fixed or people's financial condition is not always the same, so every person should think about this at a young age so that the financial condition does not get worse in the future. If we have the ability in our youth then we should invest in our future plans as soon as possible without wasting time. Those who know about investment definitely try to invest but those who don't have any idea about it are always deprived of this opportunity.

Everyone has a different view on cryptocurrencies it's good to introduce what I know about bitcoin. But if someone is not interested to know about crypto currency then it is never possible to convince him about crypto currency. Interested individuals have a lot of needs they find helpful information by researching different sites through their own experience. You have to go ahead in your own research by knowing its main points.

@MFahad bhai, 2nd position win kerny pe bht bht mubarakbad. Please send your Matic wallet address on Polygon chain.

I think its best not to talk about how many Bitcoins you have because life is dangerous and people may have bad intentions. I would only share that information with very close friends. Other than that, I think it's hard to explain bitcoin to people. I generally suggest to use some kind of visual method by setting up real wallet, sending real coins, using an exchange etc. People without financial background may have hard time understanding basics of Bitcoin. I would rather avoid them.

I noticed that while some use their mobile phones for publishing in the forum others use their desktop. Many started with mobile phones and when the hustle began to pay they switched to desktop. I must say. If a debate is thrown to the forum some will stand for phone while others will chose to work with their desktop. The both has prons and cons in their various ways but then let's highlight some of the good and bad.
The pro and cons of mobile phone and computer.
1. Portability: bitcointalk can be done anywhere any time with the mobile phone which will be difficult to do that with a computer.
2. Affordability: I believe it is cheaper to get a mobile phone than a computer
3. Power usage: most time the desktop is being used while plugged to the wall socket while the phone has an extended battery life.
4. Data subscription: it is easy to subscribe the phone than the laptop since the laptop will be consuming more data.
 5.Typing ease. It is easy to type comfortably with the laptop than the phone( 2 fingers compared  against 10 fingers)
 6.Comfort : it is comfortable to work with the laptop as any posture can be suitable depending on your platform whereas sitting in our position for a longer period causes discomfort.

 From my own view, I still chose to work with my mobile phone than the computer. What do you think?
