If people are worried about buying bitcoin that is because they are either new or they are very high maintenance traders there is really no other choice. As a person who is big on long term bitcoin investment I find this plan to be perfectly capable of making anyone money in the long run, it could be a lot of money or it could be a little bit of money but you will make a profit from this idea.

Plus if you do this in current price you will definitely make money, if you did this when it was 60k you would still make a profit one day but it would take years before you could make a profit once again, or maybe not that long but at least that is what the goal would look like. So I do believe that for long term investors this is the right way to invest, what you said is a great idea and would definitely mean a lot of profit to anyone who follows those rules.

I don't know what this Copa America situation has anything to do with Barcelona situation. Don't get me wrong I am sure Messi is very very happy right now, and maybe he didn't want to renew his contract or go to another team before the cup was over, he waited until this cup was over that’s possibility. However his winning doesn't really change what his situation will be, or even if he lost it would probably not change it.

I feel like it was always his intention to declare his next move after the cup no matter what the result was, and the win doesn't really impact that. This dude is a big time Barcelona guy who has been there for over 20 years now, nearly 25 years, I really think that it would be not only surreal to see him in another jersey, but also it would be a very difficult life for him to move somewhere else, other players can because they move all the time but this dude played in Barcelona for 25 years, he is not used to moving around and I think it could be very difficult for him.

The bad part is that it is easier to make money that way as well, I understand the insides of a person who want to make money the easy way without caring about what happens to others. I could just start a project today that is basically a ponzi scheme but in the end I would make it look like it is not, then I could convince a million people to participate in it and suddenly be super rich.

I really could do that, at the school I studied there were teachings of how to spot a ponzi scheme (or many other schemes) and not fall for it, however that also allows people to learn about what people look for when spotting it and covering those bases as well so you learn to be a scammer technically, or how scammers get caught to be more precise. Why don't I do it? Because I am not a shitty person who wants to steal money from others, that is literally the only thing that keeps me away from it.

Simply because there is money to be made from creating tokens. I have been part of many projects and I can tell you that it is a risky business, the money is there in "revenue" because it is almost guaranteed that you will make money from creating a new token if you have the capital for it, if you can spend 50k dollars on creating a new token (which you do not need to, it could be as cheap as few thousand dollars) then that means you could make it back if you are a bit of lucky and if you are reaaaallly lucky you could make millions of dollars from it.

That is why I really doubt that people will stop making new altcoins, it is going to be constantly more and more and that is why I think there are thousands of them in total. It is not something we could just simply ignore that easily, we just have to accept that people will try to find the quickest methods to make money and abuse it.

I get what you’re trying to say here. Alright, we all like Bitcoin and most of the people that are coming here are doing so because of Bitcoin, and their first investment goes into Bitcoin before any other cryptocurrency. And even the altcoins that we all see today all took inspiration from Bitcoin, if you have been around when it all started, they were called “shitcoins”.

Most people around the world that are not yet part of the cryptocurrency community have definitely heard of Bitcoin, but it’s less likely that they have heard the word altcoins, not to talk of hearing names like Ethereum, Cardano, Tron, Neo, and the rest of them. Bitcoin’s market cap covers like half of the whole market’s cap. So imagine that you wake up tomorrow and they said Bitcoin is no more, that it has been shut down or something like that. I bet you’re not going to waste time in dumping every altcoins you have. So if something happens to Bitcoin, it’s sure going to affect altcoins and they are going down with it.

Big transactions like that can have an effect on the market, but it all depends on where the transaction is really heading to. But that is nothing new at all, because most of the times they don’t have any serious effect on the market. If you’re following all those websites that gives alerts on whales, then you’re going to notice that the alerts will be coming in all the time, but you won’t see any serious.

It’s hard for any of those transactions to really make some serious changes on the market price of Bitcoin. The reason why is because Bitcoin is already very much stable, so it can’t be easily affected.

I really think that bitcointalk is a great place to learn how to trade. There are both great traders here, and also people who know about TA a lot and people who focus on news a lot as well. You can learn something from everyone, of course not everyone is perfect in every aspect, but you can take the strongest parts of their advises and leave the bad parts of their advises aside and that way you will be making a lot more profit.

I am not saying this as a person who can give a great advice because I feel like mine are just very little risk and little return stuff so I do not advice too much aside from "buy bitcoin as much as you can afford" but I have seen other people here who are tons better than me at trading who gave great advises that I used in my own trading to make it better, some of them were bad so I removed them but kept the good ones in.

I don't think you will find betting for these games on crypto sportsbooks but you may have a better chance finding them at fiat ones. I believe right now most of the crypto sportsbooks have a common odds provider and there are mainly these esports you can bet on right now.

1- League of Legends
2- Dota2
3- Counter-Strike
4- King of Glory

Apart from these sometimes I have seen rocket leagues markets but rarely and I guess they only cover the bigger tournaments in such esports.

You are right, I haven't heard of any of the games either but like someone suggested above these games do exist and like you said, these are more localized games than standard ones.

I guess once the crypto based casinos have evolved enough that they start capturing local audiences, then maybe such games can be included. I have seen some game providers have already started making some specific theme based games which might be more suitable and attractive to local gamblers.

That's such a cruel but accurate statement. In some countries, people are begging for vaccination but the doses are not enough to satisfy the demand while in other parts of the world, there are countries that have enough but the people are feared/lazy enough to avoid it and the governments have to run such schemes. Such a huge disparity in vaccine distribution.

I appreciate the effort to put such a scheme in place but people must have a self-understanding of the situation too and shouldn't be offered prizes or lotteries to get the vaccination. It almost feels like the governments are getting something when people get vaccinated.

Not just many but massive amounts of coins are being mined from China and such a ban causes direct impact because all those miners would stop mining and will also look to sell their coins.

I don't think the impact is permanent though because we are already watching bitcoin recover and people did everything in their power to bring down bitcoin. Elon Musk announcing Tesla, China banning bitcoins and all the other big news combined were only enough to temporarily pull back the price a bit and now we are back to the path for the ATH.

Because it is not fully banned. This has been a news for a while and for some reason there are still some people who think that UK banned binance fully, why do people think that and does nobody read what we are talking about. There are "certain" things that Binance does all over the world which UK basically said requires a lot more KYC type security or information or whatever you want to call it, and as long as Binance gets those information from people then they could allow those operations to continue.

So, not only this is not about 100% all of binance being banned because it is not, this is about one part of it, this is also not fully banning it neither, this is just saying "hey you are doing this thing, ask them these before you let them do that" and that's it, nothing major. I do not believe that people should even care about this news at all.

I do not think that it would benefit their own coin neither, that is the weird part that I do not understand. Like yeah go ahead and make your own coin and that is a great thing, I do support that and each nation should have their own crypto currency, that way we could trade a lot easier. Think about a world where we do not have to deal with things like USDT or BUSD or USDC and what not, because in that world every nation would have their own coins and we could trade that with other crypto and whenever we feel like there is nothing we want to do anymore we could just withdraw straight from government thanks to this new coin they created.

However when you ban other cryptos, then people would stay away from crypto won't they? Or technically speaking they should, because it is banned, when every other coin is banned then why should I care about governments coin? What can I do with it all by itself?

I have seen that type of fear for many players in the past but in the more global world these days I do not think that it is a problem anymore. Back in the day premier league was the place where there is a little bit more localization happen, like yeah you could be United that wins the UCL but when you go to brighton and face them it still feels like you are going to hell and trying to get out of there is your priority not winning.

However with the later stages of the football industrialization it became so close with each other that I believe playing in bundesliga and playing in England is not "that" different. I would say that any team that gets him would be playing more league games than a bundesliga schedule, at least 2 cup games (probably) with FA cup and another, then european games probably further than what Dortmund can survive. So basically we are talking about maybe 40 games a season at dortmund if you are lucky into playing maybe 60+ games so that is the biggest challenge.

That makes sense, no one would publicly admit that they make baseless posts for their quota of signature campaigns and yeah not that it should bother anyone because we have a ignore button below every profile so if you find someone is irritating, report his/her posts and if they still continue to post garbage, just ignore the user and move on.

As long as the moderators don't delete the posts they are not breaking the rules and nothing can be done. The best solution is to mute such members and soon you will have only quality posters whose comments you will read. Personally, I don't mind if someone is making comments to fulfill their signature campaign quota as long as they are not spamming. After all, this is the most active section of the forum.

I’m already tired of all these speculations, although it can be fun at times.Polkadot is a good coin, and for sure if I am to say which coin can go as a replacement for Ethereum, it’s definitely going to be Polkadot. The two cryptocurrency and their Blockchain are similar to each other, and they all have one thing or the other that makes them very  unique.

But for some reason, I think that developers are more likely to choose Ethereum over Polkadot, and for that reason, I think that Ethereum is always going to be at the top for now, till there is a better option to replace it.

That's right and people usually get hyped with the start of a bull run and forget that a correction will almost always follow it so either be ready to face the correction and don't panic sell or just wait for the correction to finally happen and then make your move.

Usually when the market is down, I try and buy more coins but this time because of all the negative energy around social media and blogs, I am deferring my decision to buy for now. This is from the idea of sailing on the same direction of what most people prefer rather than completely depending on what our technical analysis says; yeah sometimes people will nullify the TA.

I do not care what type of player he was, I do not care if he was good on defending or tackling or anything else, as soon as a player is a dirty player then I am done with him and I do not care about anything else. He could be the best defender in the entire world but if he consistently tackles to hurt other players then he is done, he is the worst for me, there is no other argument that I require to give my note to him.

I am super glad that he won't be around anymore, it will be a better Real Madrid to watch this season even thanks to just not him being there, I rather see Real Madrid fail without him then win with him because that is how much I hate him. I am not fan of any team in la liga, my nationality is totally different so I have no winners if Barcelona or ATM wins, it is the same as Real winning, I just dislike dirty players. I had the same thing with prior Barcelona players before as well (like vidal) so it is not biased opinion.

On the contrary, I am not so excited about CBDC, for those who won't know it stands for Central Bank Digital Currency which means the centralized banks will issue a token of their own which would work just like cryptocurrency.

The reason I don't like the concept and not too excited about it is because it gives all the control to the banks and it would literally become a digital wallet and we already have many digital wallets so why do we need a new one? Crypto is so popular because it's decentralized and if you centralize crypto, I don't think there would be much of a purpose being served.

Why would someone use CBDC when they can use USDT which although isn't decentralized, at least is much more anonymous.

There will be a huge influence, you are wrong. Coinbase if I am not wrong is being operated from the USA and many such big companies have their headquarters in the USA and obviously all these things will impact the price badly.

No doubt crypto will live forever but if any country bans the use and trading of cryptos, then they will always impact bitcoin and depending on the country, the impact can be estimated.

Blockchain technology has been appreciated by almost every country but some have banned cryptos because of the lack of control from the government on crypto transactions and the amount of fraud that sometimes is related to cryptocurrencies.
