3201  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The trend is your friend if you know how to identify it)) on: May 03, 2022, 10:22:58 PM
It's very well described in the title of the thread. In general, many tools can be called friends if you work with them correctly and know how to use them.
Nope, it's not what you're thinking. Your comment here is totally different from what this thread is about. It's not about indicators or tools but about price direction. That's what is called Trend. As a trader or investor, it's better to identify where price is headed before pulling the trigger on trades. That way you're guaranteed of being in profit without stress. For instance, the short term trend for Bitcoin now is down. Anyone placing a sell on Bitcoin is more likely to make profit than one who is buying it at the moment.
Identifying the trend is not that easy though, and there are indicators and tools that help you try to predict it. Not that it is impossible to do it but at the very least you could give it a shot and could be doing fine at least. I do not know how hard it will be but at the end we won't be getting anything that is difficult beyond measure anyway.

Just predict the trend, predict where the price is going, use whatever you want for it, your gut feeling, indicators, TA, whatever and you will be doing fine. But, it will end up being a very tough task to do so considering how much we are having trouble with, if it was easy then we could have made a ton of money with leverage trading.
3202  Economy / Speculation / Re: Stability of bitcoin on: May 03, 2022, 09:26:14 PM
The demand and scarcity is what makes Bitcoin become volatile. Imagine Bitcoin has an unlimited supply like Fiat, I’m sure price will be stable at lower price rather than the pump and dump we are experiencing right now. This kind of volatility is a blessings for those who know how to trade while a disaster for a newbie trader that only know how to buy and sell whenever there’s a green and red candle on short time frame. Honestly I don’t understand why people keeps complaining in volatility and stability of Bitcoin.  Cheesy
We actually have some coins and tokens like that. There is no limit in them and they are still not free, they are cheaper and lower in price of course but not free. Which means that if you arrange it in a way that is sustainable then it could be very well unlimited as well.

If I am not wrong, ETH is unlimited right? That means the second biggest coin of all time is actually free and there is no problems with it, it's still going on strong without a problem. This is why I believe that we should be considering limited supply of bitcoin is not the main reason why it's loved so much, there must be other reasons why people care about it so much.
3203  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which utilities will survive the bear market on: May 03, 2022, 09:26:45 AM
Very difficult to identify it, but among the list here are what are the current trends, especially NFTs/Metaverse/P2E.
For me, if ever we will be in a huge and long bear market, the most affected are these new trends and especially if they are in the peak and suddenly the market will start to favor the bear.
For me, I will go on the layer 1 protocols, more on protocols as most of these utilities are built there and additional I will go to some DeFi tokens too and I will avoid such low marketcap projects.
I really doubt that the market really cares about any of this though, wouldn't you agree? I mean utilities doesn't matter when we are talking about the market, I believe that most of the time the reason why a project stands long after the bear market is gone and the bull market comes is the fact that it is a good project, no matter what the utilities are.

Meaning NFT doesn't mean anything, since during a bear market we could have NFT's go down and stay there forever and we could have NFT's who go down but recover later on, or same for meta or p2e as well. So, this means if you are a good project then you will survive and there won't be any issues whatsoever.
3204  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ever heard of this "buy at dip and be rich in the future" on: May 02, 2022, 10:49:12 AM
I did it all month of April. although do not know where the lowest point. I bought AXS, I bought Sol, ftm, luna, bitcoin, avax, all coins that I think have great potential and prices are falling. but today i started to doubt, what i did was right?
after I observed my assets were down quite a lot and it was enough for me to have trouble. I want to ask what did I do wrong? Or is this the right decision?
That's a quite good deal actually, you should be able to be proud of yourself because it really does deserve it. I mean think about it, we are talking about collecting at the bottom or close to bottom and then making money based on the future of it, if you can hold of course.

One thing to "worry" if you will, would be to picking bad coins when doing this, I am not saying the ones you picked are wrong, I wouldn't know, if I did know which ones would go up and which ones would go down, I would be a millionaire by now and wouldn't be here, but I can tell you that there is a risk of picking wrong coins and only time will tell which one that is.
3205  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Doge Future after Elon Musk Buy Twitter ? on: May 02, 2022, 06:52:16 AM
I have out any rumors with doge coin although Elon Musk as publisher of Doge coin bought twitter, every time Doge coin not serious how to make coins keep stable on the top price, reach up suddenly and dump without few hours. You can see when Doge coin have good news and suddenly pump just waiting before 50 minutes later price will back drop. Maybe have bigger investor there like Elon Musk team for selling their Doge coin and you bought on higher price just stuck and stop loss for less risk.
There is no news because Elon Musk buying twitter has nothing to do with doge, the only reason why we are seeing some connection in bitcointalk and any other doge lover places is the fact that doge investors WANTS for it to happen but the reality is that it won't happen. Sure, if you have a lot of dogecoin then your hopes is that you will see it go up a lot and you will end up with a great profit so you are starting to make excuses about it.

Like for example you end up thinking "if Elon tweeted about doge and loves it, and he is buying twitter, that means he will do it a lot more often right!" and find that quite reasonable approach when there is no data backing that up and it is just a simple idea.
3206  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A single trading tool is not enough on: May 01, 2022, 10:04:14 PM
Do not forget about reading news. They can be useful indicators too for specific cryptos that you're holding or trading, they set a sign if there's going to be a shorting or if someone has to see that it should set a bullish pattern. Well, nothing beats having multiple tools and indicators in checking out the market.
But for those that don't like to look at the charts or don't know how to do it, there are still other ways just as I've said.
This is quite important for the crypto world, it is basically what you do in order to get better. I personally believe that if you know what you are doing then you should be making a profit, but if you do not follow news then even if you are a veteran of trading then you will not take advantage of the countless profits you could have made.

I use cryptopanic which is a crypto news channel where you see all of them and it gives you all the brand new things going on in the crypto world and that means you will be able to react as quickly as anyone else. Definitely a good way to trade if you follow news because crypto gets emotional at all times.
3207  Economy / Speculation / Re: One more leg down on: May 01, 2022, 09:53:18 PM
the pattern presented by the analysis is only an issue that makes traders flock to buy bitcoin, it turns out that this issue has no effect at all in real trading. many analyzes reveal that bitcoin will break new ATH and claim that bitcoin will break $100k, but to me that is just a false hope and its hard to break that price any time soon.
I am not entirely sure if it's a false hope, I mean bitcoin is "technically" could do that and it doesn't look that bad at all. I am not saying that it WILL do that, but it doesn't look like impossible neither.

I feel like there is a good chance we could end up with some huge increases soon, looking at how we dropped and failed to break under 38k, the increase must be close. That’s how market moves, it goes down as much as it could without a huge deal, it may crash even harder if something horrible happened but nothing happened, so it tested the bottom and found it. Now it’s time to accumulate and increase and make a profit based on that, which will test the top we could reach, who knows what it is.
3208  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin a Partway to Becoming Self-Reliance. on: May 01, 2022, 09:06:19 PM
Bitcoin is part of being independent, indeed I admit that bitcoin is part of being independent, we are free to invest whenever we want, we are also free to make any transactions we want, but we should not put fiat currency aside, because fiat currency also gives us freedom, we can do whatever we want with the money we have, but there are also countries that restrict the withdrawal of fiat money, and we are not given the freedom to do what we want.
Fiat currency is not getting put aside, it is not really a thing where you need to become full-time crypto and never use dollars ever again in your life type of situation. Obviously you are going to require a bit of situation where everything will get better or worse, but at the end of the day we are talking about a situation where bitcoin needs to help you to get it better on your worse days.

If you use fiat regularly like you have been, and like human has for over a century now, that means you are going to just add in bitcoin to some portion of it and that is where it will help you, just a side deal where you invest and earn, think of it like gold or stock market basically.
3209  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where Bitcoin has been googled the most? on: May 01, 2022, 03:23:09 PM
What is another interesting with this list is that United States of America does not figure in the top 10...though it does not mean that USA is that very important in the whole cryptocurrency market. among the top 10, it is Nigeria that can be a little bit more surprising all because we know that the government in there is not that so friendly with cryptocurrency and they barred the involvement of the banking industry with it so it is hard for people to buy and convert crypto with the fiat money...but they can instead do P2P which is actually burgeoning in that country.
Honestly, I am not shocked that USA is not in the list. Main reason for that is the fact that USA is vast and if it was one of the most googled things ever then we would have bitcoin a lot higher. This also proves that there is a huge gap in the system that we could still fill. Imagine USA and UK being in this list, that would mean that 2 of the richest nations of the world getting heavily into crypto.

Today, we have them out of this list and still have coinbase and kraken like places that make so much money, tomorrow when it's on this list, or we have majority of those nations involved? We are going to have trillions for sure and that will help us all, even if we do not live there.
3210  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Traders Stop Being Greedy. on: April 30, 2022, 01:22:25 PM
Greed is one of the factors that traders fail when trading, if the greed that exists in us is not managed properly, then it will make us as traders will experience difficulties. Usually greed appears when the market is bullish, traders who are obsessed with big profits will delay selling the coins they have even though they are already profitable. Because they are too greedy and want to make even bigger profits. But this turned out to be
a problem when the coins suddenly dumped in a fast time.
Greed during the period when we buy and made a profit and we failed to sell because we are greedy could be prevented. We could simply put a stop loss above what we bought it and that will allow us to get a profit even if we do not sell it manually. However, greed that keeps us trading even after we lose, and keep us making the same mistakes because we want to make a profit after the loss is the same greed we have when we are trading.

It is basically a replicate of the gambler who loses money and chases that loss in order to profit and they end up making bigger mistakes. I am not saying that everyone will make the same mistake, but it is a similar one for sure.
3211  Other / Archival / Re: Why has bitcoin adoption failed in El Salvador? on: April 30, 2022, 12:38:10 PM
If a country is in a very difficult economic situation and it constantly takes loans, then Bitcoin should not be blamed for this.
Bitcoin can help countries and their citizens get around some sanctions, but if your economy is unprofitable, then adopting Bitcoin will not solve the economic problems in the country.
Adopting bitcoin could help you in some ways. For example, if your nation makes let's say 100 million dollars debt every single year on average, and grows 10% every year on debt, then you would be able to pay that back if you get bitcoin with it and it goes up. That way one day bitcoin may do like 10x and you could sell it and pay all of your debt and it would be helping you.

This isn't a guaranteed thing and maybe your debt could grow faster than your bitcoin reserves could and it would never be paid in full, but as long as bitcoin goes up, that should be a beneficial thing. Instead you could invest back into your nation but in 99% of the nations corruption prevents that.
3212  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Traders paradise on: April 30, 2022, 11:03:28 AM
Losses will always be a part of the journey because there's no such thing as perfect trading. There will always be risks because of the market's volatility but if you're skilled and knowledgeable enough to deal with it, you'll surely succeed in the end. Trading is actually a long process of learning so eagerness and determination, as well as patience, would be the good traits that we should always have.
The biggest part about growing in trading is the losses, they are probably the biggest earners that you do not realize. The difference between a profit and a loss is that if you profit then you take the profit and look at the next move, but when you lose then you learn something and then you become a better trader and you start to learn something.

This is why I believe that we should be focusing a bit more on losses than profits since profits only give you money once but never improves you and doesn't share your future whereas the losses gives you an idea on what you did wrong and how you could do better which is a wonderful thing in the long term.
3213  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I think its time to start my crypto trading lessons on: April 30, 2022, 10:26:42 AM
They do not do that, this is the problem, they just face the situation like it is something that would be so terrible that they end up putting all of their money into it. Because, they FOMO the hell out of crypto when they get in, newbies get in majorly during the hyped periods when the price is high and not these days, how many "new" people got into crypto around the last month do you think?

There could be some people who came back, but I mean like new people as in people who never owned a single satoshi. Those people do not join during periods like this, they come in during ATH periods and have FOMO so they jump in with all their money instead.
Unfortunately people have seen too many lucky people online, and many fake news about "this guy found his old usb with 650k in it!" type of stuff so everyone is hyped about it at times. Thankfully this is not the period for that, the low prices means that we could buy and make a profit based on that. However, when the time comes we will see those people all over again. I believe that we should not be hopeless though, like yeah we may not get rich quick, but we could get rich slow which is still quite a big achievement.

Imagine working with a salary for 50 years, do you really think that the same amount with just one year salary put into bitcoin and waited 50 years could be earned? That means you could literally double down in the long term.
3214  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What did cause a massive pump for dogecoin? on: April 30, 2022, 09:28:45 AM
doge coin now be one of cryptocurrency assets in his bag, and he will doing alot to increase its price. as he said before ,doge coin more accepted as mass  currency than bitcoin. moreover now elon musk buying twitter, it could be next strategy about his seriousness pumping doge coin price. rumor that speaded in market twitter will accept doge in their payment system , when it realized hard pump could not avoided.
The fact that people who shill just because they are holding some bags is the worst type of advice that could be given. I am not saying that you can't shill your bags, but at the very least you shouldn't be considered a good judge of coins if you do. This is why I believe that we should focus on people who are about to invest a lot more instead of people who already invested.

Because, people who are about to invest into something knows (or should know) everything about a project and they could give up and not invest if you give them a good reason, meaning if they convince you then it's great project, if you convince them then it's bad.
3215  Other / Archival / Re: Why has bitcoin adoption failed in El Salvador? on: April 29, 2022, 10:15:11 PM
I think its now high timebwe stop getting moved by the outcome of staging a protest in the name of expressing displeasure, we have many areas of the economy that needed amendment especially in the economical era of fiat system and our government interference innit, on countless occasions there have been protect against the government and i see this bitcoin protest as just a minor one compared to the ones wage against the government on bad economy situation, this protect is just like a group of less than 50 protesters influenced by the anti bitcoin entities to cause disrupt, because base on the statistics above we could see how the percentage of those that make use of the chivo wallet is high.
I would guess that every single nation is in bad economical situation right now. Nations with huge economies grew smaller as well, not as bad as smaller ones but still it didn't do well. In a world where the UK or the USA and what not is doing badly, it is highly expected for nations like El Salvador should not be really a shock to us that they would be doing even worse.

Bitcoin adoption could get higher there overtime when people see each other gain a lot but we haven't seen that since the legal tender deal. If it was done in 2019 and then the price increased during 2020 and 2021, we would have seen a lot more adoption. Which we will see in the future when that cycle comes again.
3216  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: TA or FA which is a better choice for market speculation. on: April 29, 2022, 09:58:39 PM
OP, for plebs like us, I am a strong believer of the HODL based on the Fundamentals of a coin, and the best in my opinion, would be Bitcoin. Because the problem with Technical Analysis is, there are people in the market who are hungrier, more talented, and more skillfull than us. Technical Analysis also doesn't work 100% of the time because more and more talented traders already know about it and they can counter-trade your trade.
I also think that bigger players can manipulate the market because they already seeing the market direction through the charts and they can hodl longer from selling or buying until the small traders get exhausted in the market getting RSI hodl overbought a longtime without reversal. Banks are capable of doing the manipulation as they have plenty money to lock around the market.
Whales could manipulate the market but to a degree, they can't manipulate everything and not that easily for most as well. You have to remember the crypto market reached to a level where it is a whole market and just one person can't really change it. Sure if you find a small cap coin and put 10 million on it to pump/dump then you could do that, but for most coins at the top level that is no longer a possibility.

This means that it would require billions and billions to change the price. Last time one person did it, it was 1.5 billion from Elon Musk that changed the price and the news of it impacted more than the money itself. So, I doubt whales would be able to do anything for the top 20.
3217  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can Dogecoin become the new BTC? on: April 29, 2022, 08:58:04 PM
Is it possible that dogecoin can beat BTC after Elon musk takes over Twitter? Imagine if Dogecoin is well accepted throughout the world then BTC wouldn't this makes Dogecoin the new coin? This might sound too crazy to dream about but that Elon musk guy can make anything possible.
Of course not, not even close, not even remotely somewhere along the lines, not even in the same sentence. This could be the first ever sentence that put them even remotely close to each other. Do not get hopes just because there is a community of hyped memecoin investors or some weird dude at the top who likes to tweet to tens of millions of people.

Doge will not become anything, it can't become anything, just one dude owns like a huge chunk of it and can destroy it (albet this is true for bitcoin with satoshis bitcoins but he is nowhere to be found). So all in all doge could not become anything, the fact that it is top 10 is already more than it could ever achieve, it just used the bear period to its advantage.
3218  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Some projects which can grow bigger in the next few years on: April 29, 2022, 07:16:03 PM
what about Polygon, one of the top ranked coins but its cheap at the moment. when it comes to coins with great potential, MATIC is one of those coins. and for long term investment, I think this coin is very worth it. like Solana, Avalanche, or Polkadot, Matic will probably follow in the footsteps of those coins someday. so it's not impossible that there will be surprises from this project, 10-100x will not be impossible when the market is good.
Everything is cheap right now, the market is down and picking up a new coin with a good sized investment would be a smart idea. Is that one polygon? I do not know, I mean if ETH gas fee situation comes back and it would be still high eventually then polygon will get a lot more attention for sure. However, if ETH fixes the gas fee situation I am not entirely sure if polygon would be as highly regarded as it used to be.

I know that polygon is not just about being the cheap version of ETH, I know it has a lot more to offer but any investor who thinks that the eth gas fee reasoning is not the biggest reason, would be fooling themselves because that is the majority of the reason why it was high.
3219  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What about privacy coin? on: April 29, 2022, 06:26:12 PM
Are privacy coins no more important in today's world? Monero performs fairly good after bull market is almost over but that's that, no one is talking about the usefulness of privacy coins like XMR, Sero, haven protocol, horizen etc is this the end or privacy coins still have a future.
The privacy coin hype is over due to too much intervention from the government. and maybe this is the fate of all privacy coins today. Even so, there is always hope for these coins, so there is no need to worry about the future of privacy coins. the need for privacy coins is still quite high, so this is one big reason why privacy coins like monero, or dash are still surviving.
Privacy coins are getting lesser attention because new generation barely recognizes the privacy and doesn't care about it as much as we do. The age we live in right now is literally giving away your data yourself. All those posts, messages, photos, videos and everything, people thrive on being out in the open and not being hidden.

Obviously, there are still some who like it, like me, but that doesn't mean that it is the general population anymore, even the elderly share everything online and that usually ends up being their daily life. This is why there is really nothing that we should be hyped about a privacy coin when there is no more privacy in our lives.
3220  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Traders Stop Being Greedy. on: April 29, 2022, 03:00:24 PM
The fact is that we all trying our best to make sure making out a living will be easier for us which led me and you to engage in trading mostly we in the cryptospace, is moreorless of trial by error methods so whenever a new coin is bought is either we counted it to be at the ++ leading to being greed without adequate research and this mostly happens whenever such project announces to list in a reputable exchange or trading platform like Binance or any one else but without looking at the risk aspect of it.
We have to be mindful and keep pushing wisely
Unfortunately, too many people to that, it should be focusing a bit more on our own explanation for emotional responses to trading and less about trading itself. Trading is not an easy task, but we certainly make it super harder when we let our emotions take over and lead us while trading. This is why there are so many trading bots, you think they are there because they would trade better than a person?

A regular person configures it like any other trader should trade. The difference is that a trading bot wouldn't feel emotions, can't feel it, and it would just simply do what it should given by the commands and nothing more. A human could make mistakes based on emotions.
