Seeing more and more crypto stuff makes me wanna be intrested in it ! But here it is, I don't even know where to start to make small profits Grin. I don't know wich youtuber I should follow because a lot of them are just a scam. I started by mining Flux, using Zelcore wallet few days ago ! If you're reading this, please come Discord or Instagram to teach me and introduce me to this beautiful crypto world :DDD.
Have you made effort in going through those YouTube videos that teaches about cryptocurrency to see if you would luckily find the food ones there? Yes a lot of them don’t give good advice, but there are still so many of them that are good at what they teach and you can subscribe to their channel to follow them up and learn everything that you have to learn about cryptocurrency.

Or if you don’t feel like YouTube is the right place, then you can start doing your research on Google, there are thousands of articles that are really helpful and will help you start your cryptocurrency trading. There are also online learn platforms like Coursera and the rest of them, but those ones would require you to pay to learn.

I would say that Messi just doesn't feel like he wants to play, that is too obvious whenever you watch him. Not because he is not a great player, obviously he is one of the best players in the world and one of the best in the history of the sport, there is no denying that. However, he just doesn't feel it in PSG, if he went to City, with Pep there then I am sure that he would have been a lot better, dude knows that system and he would be happy.
Yes, I felt like that, Messi will be great when the coach understands how he plays. Pep is one of them, but the great players will certainly adapt easily whatever the scheme. Messi can't be like what another coach wants. I don't know what his problem is, In Barcelona, he was great together with Neymar. he should be like that in the changed club with the same person. I believe Messi has lost confidence since rarely created goals.
This is why I kept saying that PSG should sign Zidane, if not right now then they could do it by the end of the season. When your manager took you out of the champions league groups, and leads the league by a lot of points, then it is hard to fire someone. So, I am guessing that they will fail to get the UCL this year, and then sack Pochettino and get Zidane instead. That way, PSG would have a manager who knows how to handle the famous players, like almost at celebrity level and that is how we could see them make a change.

Messi is not a regular player, there are other good players too but you can put them in your system, Messi is a player who shines the greatest when you play through him, and PSG is not doing that at all. If you do not plan on catering to him, then why did they even get him? Did they imagine he would be playing however they want him to play?

If Haaland were to move to Bayern it would be a truly spectacular transfer. Then I could easily bet on who will win next season in the Bundesliga.

When it comes to Bayern's dominance, it is a bit boring to see their victories all the time. However, I think other teams should strive to be as good as Bayern. Weakening Bayern would certainly not be good for football in the Bundesliga.
I do not think that Haaland wants a move within the nation, he wants fame and fortunes and Bayern is not a team like that. Look at what happened to Lewandowski as an example, dude was clearly the better player but still lost that award, why? Because Bayern is not a flashy team, they do not get as many viewers as other big clubs. Real or City gets so much attention, even PSG gets more these days.

I feel like if PSG realizes that they are going to lose Mbappe, they could clearly afford to pay for Haaland and get him. In that case I do not think that it would matter, they would have Haaland instead of Mbappe and that could basically be no change for them, they would stay at the top.
3484  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How will Coinmarketcap look in 2025? on: January 29, 2022, 08:25:29 PM
I think in the future there will be a lot with coin data sites similar to coinmarketcap, there is no benchmark if coinmarketcap will be more accurate in the future. All I know is that bitcoin won't change because it will remain #1.
In any future where bitcoin is no longer the number one, that future seems a bit more bleak to me and I am afraid of that future. Some people may think that it is actually quite fine, and some better project will pass it eventually but I just do not feel like it would be good for the whole crypto community, you know? I mean this is the biggest coin, and has been the biggest coin all the time.

If we had like changes all throughout the years, if bitcoin was number one back in the day but 13 right now, and it first lost the first place during 2013 or whatever and the first kept changing all the time, that would be one thing. However we have seen bitcoin at first for almost 12 years now, since it first started, and to say that it could drop now? That sounds a little scary to me.
3485  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: we can still rely on the bounty.. on: January 27, 2022, 09:44:43 PM
When coinmarketcap introduced airdrops I was excited thinking that finally a platform that we can rely on so i joined many airdrops from CMC but not a single one paid me later I found out they winners are randomly selected, heart broke it is.
Damn, I can feel this. Coinmarketcap is the leading site now when it comes to coins information so I was expecting that airdrops from their site are all good quality. This can be true to a very few coins that I got but for the majority of them, no because those coins are dying a couple of days and weeks after obtaining them.

There is a rule written before you join the airdrops, some are first come first basis but most of them are randomly distributed. It is only sad that airdrops were now working this way, I missed the old times where airdrops are easier to get and the rates were also better. For now, bounty is only the way to go to get free coins in a more surer way, just pick a more trusted manager.

It is the roster that was built basically. First of all the roster was not build for a specific system, it was build because players were young and cheap and that is why they got them. Now, that they are missing some players as well, and some players are playing badly, it became too obvious.

Muslera saved them from many losses before, he has been in the club for a long time and he has been helping them a lot, with him gone and a horrible goalkeeper, they ended up being even worse on that front.

Midfield is near empty, nobody to note on that place, and attacking is not horrible with kerem and mustafa when they play but when they do not, then nobody else can step up. Long story short roster is horrible, go get Pep to manage this team and he won't be able to do wonders with this team, he would be better than this, but not championship level at all.
It is totally understandable if the roster was bad, and it is not really good neither I can agree with that. But 15th? Just 3 points ahead of relegation zone? I mean yeah I would get like 8th or something like that on a bad season, but this roster is not deserving of 15th place at all.

I believe they could have been in top 10 easily without a problem. They should be thankful that they are not too far ahead of that top 10 place, if they have some winning streaks by the end of the season (which they will face a lot of great teams) then they could maybe get into top 10. Only 2 game difference between 9th and them, so they could still get there. In any case, Torrent didn't had a great start at all.
3487  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Buy low, Sell high? on: January 27, 2022, 06:59:51 PM
People think that if a coin does 2x and I invest only 50 bucks, then I would get 100 in return, but if I invest ALL of the 1k then I would get 1k more in return and that is why they invest all they have.
Some people do not do what they preach, you would see them saying that you should buy low and sell high, but once the market dips a little, they start doing the opposite, which is running from it. If you’re not going to be buying low at a time that the market is going through a bearish turn, then when would you have the opportunity to buy low again? They all just like to FOMO, once they start hearing news about Bitcoin and other coins getting bullish , they would start coming back, and some of them would be ending in losing all their funds because of this.
3488  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Tell us about the best altcoin in the current situation. on: January 27, 2022, 06:05:03 PM
The market has been going downhill for some time now. In order to get the best return in such a situation, which altcoin should we invest in that gives us the maximum benefit?
If you have plans of going long term, then there are many choices you can make. One of the altcoins that is really good which we all know is ethereum, and now that the Ethereum 2.0 version is about to be released, I believe that it is really going to be a huge boost on the price of Ethereum in the future. So, if you have plans of investing in the alt coins market, then this would be one choice you will have to consider. And also being the smart chain gives ETHan edge over the others.

The next coin to buy would be Cardano,there is no doubt on this one that it would be good. it has been a huge trend since last year, and I believe that it is also going to continue. Another one would be Solana, and also Avalanche. Having Polygon would also be good.
3489  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does Hold is Gold on: January 26, 2022, 09:53:39 PM
I Holded Doge for almost 6 months it doesn’t rise as much was expected,i shift to c98 it’s also on downfall ,cause the father of all the coins BTC is also in dip ,now i am on hold of the c98 and expecting for its Shine,i think luck matters alot in trading not only Good knowledge.
Luck does matter, and there are people who have been able to make lots of money in the cryptocurrency market just because they are lucky. But you shouldn’t just be relying on luck, because sometimes for you to be able to detect when you will be lucky is due to the knowledge you have.

So, anyone who is a trader also has to have the knowledge and skills for investment and trading, because that’s what would help you to know when there is an opportunity in the market for you to get on and invest. But, when you don’t have any knowledge you would end up FOMO’ing into the market, and at the end you wouldn’t be gaining anything, and would be mostly running out of luck.
3490  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are spectacular returns over for bitcoin? on: January 26, 2022, 09:10:04 PM
I heard of Gareth Holoway predicted recently about this $20K drop actually. The guy I legendary when it comes to price forecast although he had said it months ago, it may come true one day when the bubble pops. If this bear market will be the same as what we experience in 2018, it may really drop below $20K. Hope it will not happen but there are just crises today that might affect everything like worsening the supply chain disruption and worse and worse coming war.
Just 3x increase? I mean we moved from under 4k during march 2020 to 64k during april 2021, how is that just x3? You may calculate from the previous top to latest top, in that case it is 3x, but that would mean previous ones were not 10x neither, they were smaller. I would guess that right now we are getting higher and higher, the market cap is growing and getting closer to global gold cap as well, imagine how big of a number we are talking about.

If you are considering something like this as normal then you will expect it to keep going 10x higher, but x10 from ATH would mean that we would be either bigger or at least somewhere near gold marketcap. That would be awesome but also a bit unrealistic for the time being.
3491  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is $34k the bottom?? on: January 26, 2022, 08:49:26 PM
Well, it bounced from that price so we can say that it is a short term support.
But to call it as a support for long term? I don't think so because I believe that the downward pressure isn't over yet.

RSI is at 35 and MACD is still below 0. Though it already bounced back in RSI, I think that we might see more downward movement in the upcoming days until we reach the $30,000 support. I might be wrong though and we might see Bitcoin going up to $40,000 in the next days but if it will not happen then this short rise is a trap.

Overall even it is bottom or not, buying at this price will give you higher reward in the long term so better to accumulate as much as you can right now.
The fact that we see 38k as "bounce back" says a lot. If you look at it from the top then it is a very low number, if you look at it from the bottom it is a great number. Just a few years ago we were having so much hard time breaking over 10k, in 2018 it dropped under and couldn't go higher, in 2019 it did managed to go higher but couldn't hold it and dropped lower again, this happened a few times.

Now, we are looking at 38k and call it a bounce back, we should feel lucky that we are in the crypto world. Yes, I know that it is stressful to keep seeing these type of numbers but the reality is that we are profiting from it more than most people profit in other stuff.
3492  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin adoption by banks - good or bad? on: January 26, 2022, 08:15:31 PM
As far as I see, a lot of people here are very happy when they read news about this or that bank adopting bitcoin exchange, offering crypto related services or doing something related to crypto.

At some point I understand that people like it because they want to see crypto everywhere but the downside of this is that crypto gets more regulated and I think it losses the magic/spell that it had before. Personally, I think that more adoptions and regulations won't do any good for bitcoin, it will just become a little bit different digital version of fiat. I think as time goes, anonimity, decentralization and these words are fading away and they turn into myths like Greek gods.
This is the maximum place that I can see crypto in. It will be amazing when it actually happens. If I can hold many cryptos in my bank account just like I do with fiat, then we are going to actually have a great increase in crypto adoption. I can't imagine living with purely crypto without ever touching fiat.

I mean sure there will be some cash stuff left, like paying a taxi is still mainly cash, but at the end of the day we are talking about something profitable in 1000x amounts, seriously and I am not even joking. Not right away of course, but it will get there one day after we can use it in banks because people would not have a need to sell anymore, only traders would sell.
3493  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Solana full of hype? on: January 26, 2022, 07:12:12 PM
Do you think Solana is full of hype? If not, why? What will happen with SOL's price if network disruptions persist? Will it mark the end of Solana for good? Or will the blockchain network survive for a long time?
It all depends on personal choice, there are so many investors who wouldn’t mind whether it is decentralized or not. And the community has been growing since the project was launched. Although the disruption that it had did make some investors to lose confidence in it, and that is the problem you would have when a platform is not decentralized, security becomes a problem. Personally I don’t think it is all about hype, normally a project like this would go through a hype phase, but as time goes on it will reach a time when we would get to know whether it’s all about hype or not.
3494  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's your reason for buying altcoins? on: January 25, 2022, 09:36:24 PM
what is your reason for buying and holding these coins? What type of profits (fiat/btc/eth/other) are you hoping to achieve and have you already taken profits?

Do you genuinely believe any of your altcoins can genuinely surpass Bitcoin or Ethereum's market values in near future?
I wouldn't want to pick "for dollar profits" because I am not that kind of person, but the investments I want to make are all in fiat after I reach a certain level. I could have clicked "other" as well if I had the chance but I didn't want to make it look like results showed other heavily. It's mainly like I want to have passive income, and I do that in crypto, and I am fine with that, there is nothing I want to change right now.

However, if I end up getting super rich one day, like have 200k dollars or something then I would buy a bunch of houses and then use that money to live instead of passive income from crypto. I would still go back and buy some crypto from the rents I am making from those houses, but buying houses makes sense. If you consider buying a house is fiat, then my answer is fiat, if you consider it other then my answer is other.
3495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: January 25, 2022, 08:38:29 PM
PSG are doing very well as always. They had a home game against Reims and they won by a huge score like 4-0. It was an expected kind of win from them. They are still eleven points ahead of Nice which are at the second position in the standings now. It really doesn't seem like any of the rest of the teams will be able to catch up with PSG and fight for the title. And they must be aware of this reality too. PSG should already be focusing on the Champions League the most as the last 32 round is closing in. They are aiming the title there in the end.
I don't think any other team is hoping to win the title in Ligue 1 right now. PSG at the top of the points table has scored 53 points in 22 matches, while second place Nice has scored 42 points in 22 matches. The difference in their points is 11. It is almost impossible to reduce the gap by 11 points because PSG's performance is much better and stable in Ligue 1. So PSG will undoubtedly maintain their dominance in Ligue 1 this season and win the title.
I do not think that any team really hoped for it before the season started neither. Not that Messi really helped out a lot, or Ramos was around when PSG played awesome at early games and won many games to start the season, but before the season started we saw that roster and knew that PSG would be awesome this year. They did actually achieve that, but Ramos and Messi didn't really provided too much to the team, Ramos is barely doing anything nowadays, and Messi is nowhere to be found.

I am sure he will get better and he will play awesomely but for the time being that transfer was only done so that PSG could sell jerseys with Messi name on the back.
3496  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin to hit $100k? on: January 25, 2022, 07:19:53 PM
There might be big dips and that can only make an illusion that btc price is low but we cant forget the fact that btc is only 13 years old now and have got in a lot of challenges, not only ups but also downs and how can someone will know that 100k will be achieved in 2023 and 2024?

Why wait for that long and why not this year? I mean there is still plenty of room for btc to adjust, we are not in the middle of the first quarter. In the meantime it would be better if we can just chill and relax, buy more btc and then patiently holding it. Do not stress your selves thinking about 100k because it will just come.
People are forgetting that we were under 4k in March 2020 when the drop hit, and we were 64k during April 2021. That is about 13 months and we reached so much higher and that happened literally just last year, if people forget that then we can't make people remember even further back.

2022 is still brand new like you said, and if we could do 2x to 3x in a year then we would be at around 100k prices, and we have the power to do even 10x higher. Many people said "10x is a dream nowadays, going from $1 to $10 was easy, but it is not same for 1k" but that happened too right? We did 10x from 1k, 2k, 3k, 4k, 5k, even 6k and nearly 7k as well. Those prices were seen as the top price bitcoin could ever reach, we spent years there, and then not only we went above those prices but did 10x from there. So, I am shocked that people think we can't be 100k this year.
3497  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Deep before the Raise on: January 25, 2022, 05:48:30 PM
hopefully it is a good sign, but we can't tell for sure as the sentiments really turns into a bearish one and I would say that retail investors are pulling out their investments right now. Maybe they will get back in the market when we hit $20k-$25, but we knows. So what I'm saying is that we should prepare for the worst in the coming months as it looks like they is turning out to be a bad year for bitcoin market. Bad year in a sense that we are in the start of a bear trend.
I do agree that, we are seeing something that is a bit different here. I mean we all want to feel a bit better about things, we want to feel that we are at the bottom now and we want to see it recover and get better. However, sometimes life is not that easy, sometimes it feels a bit more like it goes against everything we want to. You know those days, like somehow the whole world is against you, everything goes wrong and whatever could go wrong ends up happening.

So, I would say that there is a good case bad things could keep happening, price keep going down, it is not impossible. However, I hope that it doesn't happen that way and we end up with a great return on our investments. Not that it "will" happen, or even should, but it would be nice if it happened.
3498  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 24, 2022, 09:44:52 PM
Bayern Munich answered Borussia Dortmund with a great result today. They defeated Hertha Berlin by 4-1 away. And it was unexpected for me not seeing that Lewandowski didn't score a goal and make an assist. But they are just great as a team and they continue without any problem. By the way, Leipzig are maintaining their rise in the standings. They defeated Wolfsburg too by 2-0. They have a winning streak of three games now and have risen to the sixth place. The nightmare goes on for Wolfsburg.
It wasn't a shocking result, at the end of the day we are talking about Bayern here and they are known to be cruel towards all the teams that they can beat, we still remember that 12-0 we saw this year. So, this was an easy game for them. I am guessing that it will be a bit harder for them to lose, not impossible but a bit harder to lose and that is why I am not expecting them to lose this championship neither, they are not too far ahead so far but they are not anywhere near neither, they are doing just slightly enough to be considered champions already, if they keep this up for a few more weeks then it will be a lot more clear.
3499  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: January 24, 2022, 09:15:52 PM
You can see the King's return here. PSG's Sergio Ramos gets his first goal for the club and he turns the light to him. It makes me more excited to watch PSG vs Madrid. As a result of letting Ramos handle the team, you will also be more likely to win the Champs League. In 3 games, Ramos equalized Messi's league goal.
PSG returned to Ligue 1 as a dominant force, and that attitude should continue.
Rather than being impressive for Ramos, it looks bad for Messi to be honest. Ever since he joined PSG he has been AWOL and he has been not playing the best he could. Whenever there was a very important match he suited up and played well but that's about it, honestly his played game count alone itself is proof that he just doesn't care. Dude missed like 10+ games in the season so far right? That's proof that he just doesn't care anymore, or at the very least something is wrong with him.

Ramos is not terrible, he had an injury which is understandable and then he just got better and started to play decently, he is good and that's understandable, but the fact that Messi and Ramos scored the same amount of goals tells more about Messi than Ramos.
3500  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Buy low, Sell high? on: January 23, 2022, 09:09:26 PM
...Why does everyone think the same? I mean it shouldn't be like this right? I have been long enough to hear "buy low, sell high" a million times so far, and it has always been said when the market is low, but for some reason, people still do not feel hopeful when the price is low...
The fact is that you will be able to buy at a low price only if you sold your coins at a high price before that. But many traders did not sell their coins at a high price and now continue to hold them and simultaneously experience Fomo. And accordingly, they cannot make new purchases, since they do not have the capital for this.
If they do not have capital to get back in, that is their own problem, isn't it? I mean if you put every single thing you own into bitcoin at a single price than it is your own fault. I personally keep some money aside each month, and buy crypto, and even with that I put 10% aside in BUSD.

So, I grow my cash size each month, and I grow my crypto month each month. However, even if you can't do this, even if your salary is too small to keep buying, then you could just put some of your money aside instead of buying all in. People who spend all of their money in a single investment and then cry that they do not have enough money to buy when it drops made a mistake, and that is why it is their problem.
