My definition os opportunity in trading is that you are the one that will make your own opportunity, meaning based on your analysis or decision you are the one that will determine it if you will earn from a trade or not and the result will of course baded on your execution, bitcoin or any crypto currency market has a very volatile market so the opportunity is limitless, but of course there are what we call trends so it is really necessary for a trader to work on his/her own knowledge and decision making and of course your experience, no one become a trader is being a professional and can achieve 50% win rate in trading in just a short time, you will need experience as experience is the great lesson of all, that's when you will discover and adopt things, so don't be frustrated if in your first year you have a few wins, instead focus on developing your skills.
362  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin might reach $100k before halviing. What is your exit strategy? on: March 14, 2024, 10:12:19 PM
If the bitcoin price will reach $100k before halving, then what more after that? Imagine how the bitcoin price will rise. What is the exit strategy? For now, I don't have any plans to sell my bitcoin, even if it reaches $100k, because I believe that bitcoin will get more profitable. Imagine the profit you can make. Maybe the minimum I will sell my bitcoin is $200,000. Why not aim higher? But it doesn't mean I will sell all of my holdings—maybe a few—because I already calculated how much I get when the price reaches what I desire. But if it does not happen, then fine. I'll just wait patiently when I see a good opportunity to sell. But for now, yeah, I don't feel like selling because I want to keep holding like others do, and that's the reason why the bitcoin price right now is soaring. I also hope until then whales or big investors and holders won't sell their holdings.

you have been active on this forum for years, through all the post ATH corrections('15,'18,'22) of previous ATH('17,'21).. speaking about your copper collection, but now you finally want to take a punt at bitcoin whilst its on a ATH and leading upto the next patterned superior ATH of 2025

seems you missed out on the best opportunities, once again
It can't be helped; not all of us are destined to experience those opportunities, but that doesn't mean that you will stop or that it will hinder your investment or investing in bitcoin. As they say, there's no too late in investing in bitcoin, even if you missed a chance or opportunity, you still can have those things or you are the one that will make those opportunities. As bitcoin or crypto currency is volatile, there are no implications that it will be too late for you to invest because every day or every moment there are opened opportunities in the market. It will depend on how you see it and how you make those opportunities into profit. You just need to be resourceful and have patience with bitcoin because it will be a hardship to understand it or to be able to profit from it. Of course, you need a lot of things before you can start earning.
364  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When is best for a player to draw the line? on: March 14, 2024, 08:59:32 AM
The best answer is to stop when you reach your limit, meaning that I myself have set an amount that I can use for gambling, and that is my limit. No matter what happens, lose or win, I will gradually accept the result as long as my funds are zero or the allocated funds for gambling are all gone. When I win or lose, it doesn't matter as long as I have funds, then I will continue playing. But what if I keep on winning? So when do I stop? I will stop when I double my capital. For example, if I started with $100 and in my session I gained another $100, then that's when I will stop, and the next day I will use the $100 as my capital for gambling, and the other will be secured, and I will never use that again. More like, it will be put in my savings where I cannot let myself use it no matter what, but where do I get my funds for gambling? from some of my salary and side jobs.
365  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do the juice Worth the squeeze? on: March 14, 2024, 08:17:28 AM
To make it simple, no, a very big no, gambling should not be treated as an investment. Although investing and gambling are similar in the sense that you can lose money from a wrong move or decision or by fate, the chances of losing in gambling are too much because you can only or mostly rely on luck, meaning if you are not lucky enough, don't bother to have hope that you will earn in gambling. Meanwhile, in investing, if you did this stuff correctly and with caution, you will have the guarantee of earning. It's much more worthy to allocate your time, effort, and money in an investment or business than hoping to win big in gambling that might not come.

There is also no guarantee that if you invest or start a business, you will be successful or that your life will change. It still depends on how you do in your stuff, but at least the margin of losing money is not too much.
366  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Internet connectivity - Gambling wins/losses on: March 14, 2024, 07:22:51 AM
Yes a couple of times in card gambling games, because those times I only used mobile data, because I'm playing outside or during work, but yeah sadly I experience slow connectivity and end up being disconnected in my game, especially those live card games, that's why from then I always make sure to not play gambling again when I'm using mobile data, or if I can't help it I will play first in a secured and strong internet connection, because I always learn from my mistakes, but you will notice there is still this problem even if your own connection is not the issue, I'm talking about the connectivity to the website's database, I'm sure there are times that you have strong connection but still being forced to disconnect in the website while you are in session and that problem is in the website side and it can't be helped if the volume of players is too much and the website can't handle it.
367  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin Still Dead? on: March 13, 2024, 11:55:41 PM
If there is one thing you should learn from all of this.  It is that you should not trust what the media says about Bitcoin.  They have been lying for so many years I actually wonder why in the world are people still listening to what they say.

Bitcoin is still dead, in their eyes.  In ours, it is surviving very well.
Well, it's because those who don't have any idea about bitcoin can easily be deceived by what they see on social media. In these days, social media is one of the platforms where people want to read news or different topics about the happenings in the world, but the problem is that there are many fake news creators or non-proof statements going around social media, and there are those people who easily believe those statements and news. 

So I will not be shocked if many people are still hesitant and don't have a positive view of bitcoin or crypto currency, because there are some who are pulling bitcoin below just to destroy its image and prevent any further investors, but despite that, look at what bitcoin is capable of doing. It is too powerful, thanks to those believers and solid investors who are not thinking about earning on their own.
368  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What Application do you use to monitor crypto movements daily? on: March 13, 2024, 11:02:17 PM
Well, I used two websites that I monitor the movement or price of a specific cryptocurrency, which are Coinbase and Coingecko. The reason for me to have two different websites is because, as you will notice, not all websites have syncing, meaning there is a slight delay in the actual price of, for example, bitcoin. That's why I use them both in order to compare the actual or real-time price of a specific currency. And because they have two different features and I want to have a backup website in case I can't access the other website, knowing or using the right and trusted cryptomonito website is very important to us, especially for those traders, so we can come up with a strategy and also be convenient. I used some other websites, but these are the ones that I'm most comfortable using, so yeah, if you are interested, just visit the website I have mentioned.
369  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you believe in savings or investment on: March 13, 2024, 10:29:27 PM
If you have investments, you can become wealthy. But if you have savings you will just be rich instead. And being rich is temporary if there isn’t a stable/reliable source of income. I’ve said this before and I’d say it again; you can’t save your way to wealth, you can only invest your way up there. There’s no wealthy person who said in their success story that saving money is what made them wealthy. You have to put the money to work.
Exactly! Its not bad to save up money because it is for your future or servers as securing your future, but it doesn't mean that all your money should be sitting around in your savings account and doing nothing. What if you have an emergency and you need to use your savings, so back to zero? Saving money again and again? So the most practical way of becoming wealthy in life is to combine investment and savings, divide your main income or your total income into the sections you need to, and allocate something for savings and investment because if you prosper in your investment, you can expect to save more money, right? So continue the cycle, and you will come to the point in your life where, no matter what happens, even if you get retired, you still have passive income because of your investment or business and also security because you have quite a bit of money saved up in your accounts. Isn't that the best option in life?

Yet another attempt of subtle promotion, sigh.

OP posted about the website in question couple of years ago and it's safe to say they own it.

Do you want to earn credits but in Forza Horizon 5 have no time to grind too hard for them?
Well, You can buy Forza Horizon 5 credits through U4gm.

Sorry but this kind of trick does the opposite of what you're trying to achieve discussion-wise.
Well, that's it. You showed proof now that OP doesn't have anything to say anymore. The thing is, why are they promoting their website or their stuff in an unusual way? I think they should put more effort into promoting something, especially if it's a website. You need to work on how you will attract your customers without this kind of drama. This promotion isn't fair for those who promoted their website or stuff legally or in the right way.

Why can't they promote properly? One of the reasons is the budget allocated for that. In sad reality, you need to invest in promotion in order to attract customers, and it will be worth it if only you will also give a wrothy advertisement or promotion. You don't need to make a drama just for that. 

I searched the link, and it seems that it is not a scam website, but the thing is, it lacks information.
371  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 4 Years ago people laughed at me bcz of THIS on: March 13, 2024, 09:48:03 PM
But hiring corrupted doctors to turn this into a plan just so they can buy a virtual Currency cheap is just insane.  At least come with a more plausible description of your theory.  Evidence for example.  Not just a story that came out of your brain.
True right? I maybe believe in that OP about how bitcoin will reach new heights, but the idea that someone intentionally spread COVID just so many people could buy bitcoin at its cheap price makes it hard to believe in it. Even if there's someone who plans to cause COVID, I don't think it is because of bitcoin. Now, OP, even though you are right about the bitcoin part, many will still laugh at you about your statement. Maybe if you have proof that it actually happens, then that's when we will believe in you, but saying you are right or that your theory is right because of the bitcoin price is not enough as proof that your theory is true. Let's be rational here and blame others or come up with a theory without proper proof because you could affect someone, and pandemic is a sensitive discussion. Do you think if other people read your statement, they will still have a positive impression on bitcoin? I think not.
372  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you stake on a potential(obvious) loosing team just for love? on: March 13, 2024, 01:22:16 PM
To answer the question of the OP, a simple no: if I know that the team I love or idolise will lose and I will make a bet, then I will choose to win. There are two scenarios: yes, I have a basketball team that I idolise the most, and I support them in every match they have, but when it comes to gambling or betting in the NBA, if I know that they have a lower chance of winning, then I will bet on the opposing team. In short, yes, I do love a specific team, but that doesn't mean that I will be stubborn and let me lose my money in a bet where I already know that I will lose just because I still support the team that I idolized. But maybe for others, they will be stubborn and think that being a fan is heavier than being abettor.
373  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drake loses $615k bet on Joshua-Ngannou bout on: March 13, 2024, 08:07:59 AM
Drake thought Francis Ngannou would win but Anthony Joshua knocked out Ngannou in the second round of the match of the heavyweight showdown in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Drake lost $615000.

https://www.thecable.ng/drake-loses-615k-bet-on-joshua-ngannous-bout/amp?/drake-loses-615k-bet-on-joshua-ngannous-bout

Too bad, I think everyone here as well thought that Francis Ngannou will pull an upset win against the Brit. But Joshua didn't want to happen and as if this is a tailor fight for him to win in that dominant fashion. Not the first time that he have heard Drake bet on a fight or sports and losses big money,


So the Drake curse continues...
Drake has lots of money and these loses are just nothing to him, the guy  stakes really high and loses really well, looks like gambling isn't actually his calling or he's unlucky with the stakes, most times he bets on the wrong selection and loses big. It doesn't affect him in any way cos he makes much more than those in hours. In my country currency, $615k its approximately #981 million, this.

Drake really loses serious funds in gambling and the consistency makes me wonder if stake.com casted a spell on him to be enriching themselves at intervals. Sometimes I think its better for him to stop gambling if I was him since its clearly not working out for him. but its entirely his decision to take.

This loses cant be nothing for him, because if half a million is nothing, he can throw that amount out of the window weekly and that would create even more hype around him, but he did not act like that. Google says that his net worth is 260 millions. Right now he has lost roughly 1/500 of all his money. That is actually a hit on his balance. If we take into account that few times a year he losses large amount, roughly a million per year as a minimum, and the fact that music royalties does not bring him hundred millions and still has to perform or make ads, then this $615k loss is something for him.
In short, no matter how big his net worth is, if he keeps on losing that kind of money in gambling, then he will come to an end wherein there will be no left in his money. Remember, money is finite. Imagine if Drake keeps on losing even just a month with that amount of money; after a few years, he will be dried up. The worst is if he is losing that kind of money frequently. 

We can't understand many popular people; instead of focusing on investment, they will choose to throw and waste their money on gambling, which will result in their downfall. I'm not saying that Drake will lose his fortune, but the thing is, if he keeps on doing what he does, then there will be a point in his life where he will not notice that he doesn't have anything else; the money is such a waste. If I were him, I would make my money grow in investment.
374  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 4 years ago, WHO announced the pandemic, whole markets crashed on: March 13, 2024, 07:12:17 AM


4 years ago, on March 11 2020, WHO (World Health Organization) announced that the outbreak from Wuhan, China, officially considered as a pandemic, named it as Covid-19.
https://www.who.int/director-general/speeches/detail/who-director-general-s-opening-remarks-at-the-media-briefing-on-covid-19---11-march-2020

After that whole markets globally crashed. Bitcoin crashed too.

4 years later, we have a new all time high for Bitcoin, above $72,000.

Hold your bitcoins, Bitcoin Spot ETFs will make you richer if you can hold your bitcoins.
This is what I felt frustrating now seeing the Bitcoin price claimbing 72k and going
more while those days of pandemic I almost withdraw all the bitcoin and altcoins just to
survive for those more than 2 years of having no Job at all.

But this thread also remind us that we must never let go of our bitcoin whatever
happens because seeing it growing each time now makes us understand the potential in
the next 10 years again.
Same, thankfully, I don't even touch my bitcoin holdings; in fact, I do DCA while it is pandemic and the price of bitcoin at that time is lower compared to now. Imagine how much I earn, but still, I don't sell any of my bitcoin holdings because I know the actual bull run is still not in place. What is happening now is just because of the halving event and also because of the ETF approval. I managed to accumulate more bitcoin in the pandemic because I do online jobs. After months of the pandemic, I managed to land different side jobs done only and also crypto currency stuff. I also added that NFT became in demand during the pandemic, so there's no need for me to sell my bitcoin in order to survive. We can't blame those who forced to sell their bitcoin because we know how hard we gone through during pandemic.
375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Man bet his life savings on 1 spin of Roulette on: March 13, 2024, 06:54:36 AM
Even though they said that opportunity comes rarely or that you should take the risk in order to earn, have a reward, or win in gambling, I will never ever risk my savings; this is not the practical way of taking the risk, and not all risks should be taken. I'm willing to take risks, especially in this kind of gambling game, but not using my savings. Before I risk it all, I will make sure the money I will use is not the money that I can't afford to lose.

Imagine if things turn out wrong as the man risks all his savings; then it will be the opposite result. I get it, he got lucky, but what if he didn't? What if some people get the wrong idea about this story and also hope that they will win big if they risk something that is precious to them?
376  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you use Bitcoin and access Bitcointalk freely without using a VPN? on: March 12, 2024, 11:35:44 PM
Good topic Cheesy, I'm really interested in this, I just use NordVPN --> https://nordvpn.com/download/windows/ and I kinda have access to bitcoin, but I'm really worried about it, won't my wallet disappear at one point?  Undecided Huh
What is the relationship between using a VPN and your bitcoin wallet? According to the OP, he is using a VPN in order to access bitcointalk or this forum. The question is if it is the same case for us. Your answer is not relevant to the topic. I get it; you suggested a VPN, but OP is already using a VPN, so he doesn't need another VPN. He wants to know how he will be able to access the website or this forum without using a VPN. But sadly, if you are in a country where there are restrictions on some websites, you don't have a choice but to use a VPN; otherwise, you will never be able to access those restricted websites in your country. Well, as long as this forum doesn't forbid the usage of VPN, you are good; you just need to go through extra steps in order to access this forum.
377  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: JP Morgan says BTC price could drop after 2024 halving on: March 12, 2024, 10:54:46 PM
History has shown us that Bitcoin's market price goes up after each halving. But this time's different. Especially when institutional investment companies are buying up most of the circulating supply. BTC reached a new ATH right before the anticipated halving event of April 2024. Prices are going up, and everybody's happy. But what if there's a big market correction once the hype ends? According to JP Morgan, Bitcoin could go down to the $40k range after the halving craze is over. So we'll be seeing the inverse effect of what used to happened before spot ETFs became a thing in the crypto industry. You can read all about it here: https://www.theblock.co/post/279833/jpmorgan-bitcoin-price-april-halving

What do you think of Bitcoin's current situation? Will it retain ATHs after the halving? Or will there be a massive bloodbath in market prices? Do you think the halving is already priced in? What would you do? Sell or keep "hodling"? Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Smiley

Mate, we should be done with JP Morgan, we have seen what they have done or what the narratives of them saying this and that on Bitcoin market.

So to answer, yeah, we will have a new all time high in 2025, despite what perma-bulls or those entities that something bad to say on Bitcoin and on the contrary keep buying and looking for big profits like JP Morgan.

Yes, they are one of the most successful banks, but it doesn't mean that we will believed everything what they say.
True! In fact, bitcoin already surpassed its previous ATH, and the bitcoin price right now is circulating at $70k, and JP Morgan says that the bitcoin price will drop after the halving event. Haha, little he knows people right now are already halving and that's the cause of bitcoin being bullish right now. Take note that this is not the actual bull run, so there is still a correction, but I don't think that it will take a huge dip. Based on what we are seeing, the bitcoin price is more on the up trend, meaning those investors are not selling their bitcoin until it skyrockets. I believe in the bitcoin community; they will not sell their assets right away. I got the feeling that we are all the same that we want bitcoin to raise up more and more, and it is possible as long as no big investors will sell their bitcoin.
378  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I made a mistake shorting BTC at 17k on: March 12, 2024, 10:32:16 PM
Anything is possible in crypto, we can't say that 17k will be the final bottom, not until September of 2024, after the Bitcoin halving, another bottom can still happen and might not be like 17k again, but you will still be able to buy at better price compare to this present value.

I hate following what everyone is doing and right now it seems everyone has turned bullish, and that's the danger right there, most times the unexpected always turn up and it will caught people by surprise, I am happy that I bought some good amount of Bitcoin at 17k but that doesn't mean the bear market is over.

Timing the bottom is the most stupid thing you can do in crypto space, you will never know what is coming, that's why its smarter to be prepared for any possibility, I am not bearish and I am not bullish either, I am staying right in between, to take advantage of any opportunities that present itself.
Crypto comes with alot of responsibilities. The bear season is over, and those investors that made solid foundation will start reaping major profits because standing strong enough require good planning. Bitcoin keeps ranking #1 on the market and there's absolutely no pulling opposing projects, the ones we're acquainted doesn't match. Take proper time to invest in solid projects, these are developing. The opportunities of earning profits in the space, is straight. Shorting bitcoin is wise decision but it should be done with good techniques.
True, bitcoin will keep on increasing. Yes,  bitcoin can make a dip, but not to the point where those investors or people who want to invest in bitcoin want to buy it at a low price. I'm referring to those who want bitcoin to reach $20k or lower in order for them to buy many bitcoins at a low price. Little do they know that this price or this kind of dip will be impossible to happen at the current state and solid foundation of bitcoin. And it is also thanks for those OG's in bitcoin; if they don't have the mindset of making bitcoin the most powerful crypto currency, then bitcoin will never reach its current state right now. If the OG investors in bitcoin think only about earning, then bitcoin will lose its value because those investors will keep on selling their assets when bitcoin is reaching new heights, but that's not the case because solid investors care for bitcoin, not just for themselves.
379  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why people mostly fail in trading on: March 12, 2024, 10:11:31 PM
Actually two levels of people are more interested in trading as first when a crypto user comes to know about crypto then he loses money while trading. On the other hand the middle class users refrain from trading because they have already lost a lot of money while trading. Moreover, those who are more experienced in trading easily get profit from here due to which they value trading more than investment.
Those that have experienced losing in trading, don't want to try again and choose to hold. While someone who's very eager and optimistic and doesn't let themselves down due to failure keeps going on. It is okay to stop and learn another way of staying on this market.
IF trading doesn't work for you and you think of yourself as a failure, stop it from there and learn another technique to invest on the market as there's no other way than majority's common known.

Apart from what you say, there are many reasons why most people who enter crypto trading fail, and one of them is being greedy. People are just led by hype or promises and don't have enough knowledge about crypto or bitcoin.

Those are the major things that often happen that are still the reason for those who fail in trading in this field of this crypto space business industry.
There are too many factors that cause why people always fail in trading. Well, everything mentioned is true, and it all depends on the person doing the trading. I'm not very good at trading, and one of the reasons why I often fail is because I'm too greedy. well, I think that almost everyone has this trait. Because of this, I always choose to hold the coins I own and sometimes force sell when I make a profit. Well, it's better than continuing to endure the pain of taking a loss.
Being impatient is one of the most common mistakes that a trader will do, as I trader I notice that this is the one that causing me to commit mistakes in trading and as a result I lose money from those trades, I mostly want to monitor my trade every single time even I set it long term or the goal of the trade is for long term, but because I'm being impatient I often didn't follow my trade and if I see a slight dip or a good profit even my trade is not touching the TP, I exit the market, that being impatient sometimes cause me because if for example I exit the market because I see downtrade and because I got scared I will exit the market but suddenly later on you will see the price being pumped, meaning if I have just patience to wait longer then there should not be a problem. So remember, if you will do trade and you come up with the technical analysis and chart pattern or graph, then follow it and see it through to the end.
380  Economy / Economics / Re: Technology and work ethics on: March 12, 2024, 09:52:50 PM

I think there's no need for privacy in your office desk unless the camera is under your table and using it for something very inappropriate, but if it's just on your PC like monitoring your work, that's not a problem at all if you're doing your job correctly. You're gonna find it annoying if you're doing something else in your working hours and you don't want it to find out by your senior or your boss.

But if you're just not comfortable with it when you're working, ask the HR about it so you can decide whether to accept the job or not.

that's right, maybe in the beginning we are not totally used to such set up but if that is one of the basic needs of the company to protect their system from possible hacking incidents then there is no issue, we have to accept their rules because we work for them, and so that they can monitor the movements of a person on the computer because whether we admit it or not, even if we are told not to open any site that is not related to work, we still do it, right? that's why so many companies today are more restrictive.


I think it is implemented in every private sector or private companies about thr restrictions in the office hardwares, I personally work in a bank as a developer and yes they have rules and restrictions in using their company devices but not to the ooint that wehenver they wane they can open and access our devices, we still have our privacy but of course if theres an annomaly happening in your device then they will take actions, in short they have rules and regulayions but still we have our own privacy, but that's not the case in other company but that's how they secure and keep they company safe from unwanted incidents, human error are one of the cause why there are news about company or establishment being compromised its because the hackers used the people mistakes and take advantage on it. So if you are an employee in that kind of company, you have no choice but to follow.
