I think you are forgetting one crucial factor on what drives the price of cryptocurrencies in the market- the law of supply and demand.

With its limited supply circulating in the market, the price is highly dependent upon the supply/demand of the coin. Obviously, if majority of the supply is owned by a single individual, he can manipulate the market by purchasing/selling depending on what he needs.

The beauty about its volatility, is that, it can be perfect for short/long-term investments but you really have to know the other factors also in order to achieve maximum efficiency and profit.

Not a loss due to a mismanagement of my BTCs but I think my whole experience of converting/selling my BTCs to fiat from 2018 to 2021.

I checked my blockchain record and I noticed that the total number of BTCs I received ever since I joined this forum amounted to around 0.5 BTCs, which all came from campaign signatures. Back in 2018, I sold them to purchase books and materials for my studies. Others, I gambled some portion of them when the price was below $7,000. If I just saved and HODL them, I would have accumulated around $27,000 from now.

That is why, folks, HODL your bitcoins and sell them to a comfortable price!

I do think it is about weighing the pros and cons of cryptocurrencies, as a whole.

We all know that the blockchain shows every transaction in the public ledger in which such information cannot be altered as it is physically impossible. However, its application on its day-to-day use shows its importance and use for future references. For example, you can track down the history of an item and every processes it went.

The downside, however, is such avenue may be a gateway or an avenue of purchasing illegal and covet items in the dark web. I think this area of concern should be the main focus of the government on how to balance the pros and cons of implementing the blockchain in our daily use.

Like what most have mentioned, you have to look for an exchange platform which is compatible and accessible in your country.

Personally, I would recommend using a local wallet platform which is hosted by your country. The only downside is that, those wallets require some kind of KYC in order to fully access its benefits. If you are looking to purchase and to HODL them, I also suggest using platforms which are highly used by people here in the forum (e.g. Binance, etc.).

Do some research and take time to read about these platforms. Lots of reliable sources can be found by doing a simple search. Good luck!

This question depends on the market situation of cryptocurrencies and its current value. Personally, I would recommend to HODL than to trade due to the latter's complexity and high skill ceiling which is required as compared to the former.

In HODLing, you are required to hold your investments and sell them to a price which you are comfortable with it, which is above the price you initially acquired them. In trading, it involves a series of skill, time, and dedication where the proceeds are relatively NOT guaranteed. Although HODLing also involves risks, the amount of risk in trading is far more superior; which is why I suggest that you keep your investments and sell them at ATH.

With the recent tweet of Elon Musk about his support on DogeCoin, I still doubt that it will dominate the crypto-space and become the next BTC.

Remember that Dogecoin was created as a MEME coin and no other purpose may derive from that. There was also a recent discussion about Elon Musk being a shill to Dogecoin as there is no other reason on why he chose that coin to invest on. If I were you, you could purchase some Dogecoins but do NOT shift your entire investments to this coin. It is vital that you continue investing in BTC as its price is steadily increasing in the market.

I think it is definitely a factor to consider especially when you take in consideration any team sports, in general. However, it all boils down to your favorite/loyal team whenever you gamble. There was a study conducted that majority of the players who gamble on team sports bet on their favorite/loyal team despite knowing that the team that they are against are the stronger ones.


There is a reason on why it is called 'team sports' in the first place. Even if a single player is well-known for his skills, he alone, cannot win the game by itself. Team sports rely on everyone's effort and skill in order to achieve maximum efficiency and output.

In NBA, lots of individually skilled players are distributed across many teams. I remember the 2010-2014 Miami Heat, where the Big Three (LBJ, Wade, and Bosh) won, although they were the most dominant team in the league, they still need to rely on their team (especially Ray Allen) in order to win the playoffs!

At first, I thought it was a false-positive on the first wallet but when I checked the second wallet a trojan horse virus was found.

Man, I do think that he really needs to consult and get some help. I mean, if you are stuck on the process of not accepting your defeat and you blame other factors for such, I do think that you may need to consult professional help. It is vital that he needs to focus and to accept his defeat in order to move on and prepare for his future fights. With this kind of mindset, who knows what would happen if he loses again in the future (which I hope not).


To be honest, this is more than just accepting defeat. The guy suffers from a mental health issue which should be taken seriously. If he does not seek any professional help, this would definitely take a toll on his professional career.

There is this video that I watched about the documentary of Tyson Fury about his redemption in boxing. He also suffered mental breakdowns and physical problems but his motivation and will made him the fighter that he is today. I hope Wilder takes note of this as he really needs to fix himself for his future.

Hi just a quick question, is there a difference between this account and ormeusecosystem? I saw that the latter account was last active on February 2020 and I was wondering if there is a difference or if this is a new project. I also check the telegram and both are active.

Don't get me wrong, I am not accusing this project but this is necessary to avoid confusion and ambiguity. I am hoping to hear from you soon, thanks!

If you know the team that you are betting on, then most likely, you know their current stats, standings, techniques, and confidence towards them. That is the reason on why you betted on them in the first place. Betting without even knowing on which team you are rooting on makes it relatively riskier compared if you have full information and personal knowledge on them.



Based on the image above, the results showed that most people gamble based on the team that they actually identified and been loyal with. Almost most of the people who participated in the survey voted that they chose the team that they are comfortable¹.

I vaguely remember that years ago, some streamers in the e-sports platform were paid by various gambling websites using the funds given to them. There was an incident that such promotion made by this gambling website and the streamer were orchestrated in a way to make it look legit, but in fact rigged in the very beginning. This caused a stir in the community in which Valve had to step-up to mitigate the damage.


This is the one that I was talking about. Sponsorship money given by the gambling website can be a double-edged sword since streamers are given large amounts of money, so it makes it very appealing and convincing to the viewers about the chances of winning.

I mean, if you visited and made trips for like 50 times to a casino, doesn't that imply that you are addicted to gambling? I mean, if you are gambling in a one-time basis, you could have left as soon as you won. But the fact remains that he visited 50 times implies that the Mayor is indeed, addicted to gambling.


If the Mayor done something that is illegal, that should constitute that he is an intent of defrauding others. Even if they argue that the crimes done were not serious, the fact remains that what he had done is illegal and is against the law. What are the laws for if they are not executed properly? He got-off pretty easily but I do think that there should be an investigation as this seriously smells like a grave abuse of discretion done by the Judge.

There was an article that I read that 97% of the traders who do short-term lose money on their first month of trading while the remaining 3% earn as much as a bank teller.¹

The problem with trading is you need a relatively large amount of capital if you want to increase your chances of earning. In addition, trading is a skill that MUST be sharpen through experience and time. No matter how many times you read an actual book or watch videos about techniques on trading, without actual and personal experience, you will never grasp the actuality of trading.

I reckon that I mentioned this to struggling gambling players about the cycle of winning/losing.

The problem with a winning/losing streak in gambling is it creates this illusion that a player must continue in order to win more or to recover his/her losses. In such circumstance, the player risks again himself and believes the fact that he may win again or recover his losses. However, the more you gamble, the more you increase the chances of putting yourself at this kind of cycle.

Gambling must be paired with discipline and self-control. The more you gamble with the mindset of recovering your losses, the result will most likely be you, losing more than what you expected.

When people ask me about the best time to buy bitcoin, I always answer two (2) instances:

• Way back in 2015 when the price was significantly lower; or
• The time when you first find out about the existence of bitcoin.

The reason on why purchasing bitcoin the moment you learn about its existence is its potential to skyrocket again. Many believe that bitcoin will be considered the currency of the future generation as the blockchain's technology revolutionzed the payment scheme which removed the need for a third-party consensus. That is why if I were you, I would purchase some BTCs and HODL them!

I agree that it goes both ways.

The reason on why the tweet on Dogecoin was very influential is because of the timing. During the pandemic, people are exploring and looking for alternatives to earn income. Elon Musk took the opportunity to tweet about his 'support' in Doge coin, which is a meme coin, and some questioned his intention on this. Others may share the sentiment that he is shilling the whole project while some thinks that he will definitely support it.


The influence on Elon Musk is really that strong. Imagine, a billionaire which once took the spot for the number one richest person in the world shared his knowledge about investing and earning money by purchasing this share of stock. No wonder, people would definitely follow the same as they believe that his decisions are correct.

I personally think that Elon Musk is a shill but to a certain extent.

When he tweeted about Dogecoin, its price on the market skyrocketed and lots of investors rode the hype train in hopes of earning long-term investment. He also tweeted that he will give his full support to a MEME coin in the market. Maybe after a few months, he will definitely cash-out his winnings plummeting its price on the market.

Hi, Lafu!

Thanks for the heads up and reminding me that the ones that I reported (recently) were false-positive detection by virus total. If I may ask, how do you determine if such wallet that looks infected, is indeed a false-positive detection? I would like to know so I can avoid posting/reporting links that appear infected facially but in truth, a false-positive. I hope for your feed back and reply!

Thank you as always, Lafu.
