Isn't all the stablecoins we are dealing with right now are a bit centralized? I mean we are talking about USDT being controlled fully by Tether company, or BUSD is fully controlled by Binance and all that. Which is why I believe that there is a good reason why we could have a stablecoin that is fitting to the inflation directly, depending on the currency we are pegging.

For example, if we have some sort of USDI called and its USD"INFLATION" basically, and that way we are going to end up with something that would increase based on USD inflation. The real problem is that, how are we going to handle that? Where would that money come from? That is the biggest problem that idea would face.

Leeds vs City is a very simple game. Even though we love to wager on the underdogs and try to hopefully wait for those underdogs to eventually get the favourites, usually in football Goliath beats David and that is why we have sportsbooks making so much money. We are not talking about something risky here, it is a simple bet and yes sometimes we lose, rarely but it does happen and so be it, I am not gambling because I want to win every single game, I know that I won't and sometimes I will lose.

If it is Leeds that win or there is a draw then so be it, there is nothing wrong with that for me at all. City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, United. I know United hasn't been themselves in a minute and that is why many may doubt that, so remove them if you want to, even remove west ham if you are not sure. Wagering on these teams every week usually ends up with a profit by the end of the season, emphasis on "usually".

Problems with exchanges are not new to this space and moreover exchange hacks are most common but what is "collapse" here? Is this kind of failure of business model? I do always suspect about most exchange hacks as some exchanges like bittrex are able to keep serving us for years without any issues but why not for others, it is too complicated to copy such a security measures. This way, "collapse" sounds like a new way of announcing bankruptcy.

This has been suggested across at every part of this forum and for people who are all still ignorant then no one could do anything about that.

Interestingly, people consider USDT and BUSD and multiple other stablecoins as "crypto currency" for some reason, I do not think that they are crypto at all, they are a different breed and heavily centralized as well. The only exception for stability is those if you consider them as crypto currencies. In the long run we are talking about something like bitcoin then there is no stability at all.

I wouldn't consider myself an expert but even I know that I do not invest with every single fiat I have, I save some aside in stablecoins and use some of that money whenever price drops a lot, that way I make investment because if I go all-in then I would be losing a lot of profit whenever the price drops and I have to just wait it to go back. With some fiat saved aside, that means I could buy when it is lower and then go back to profit a lot quicker.

"Not even half of it" is not really the same scare as it is in other investments when you are talking about crypto. Just this year for example, we started the year at 30k, reached 64k, dropped to 28k, reached to 68k, and dropped to under 50k and now around 50k prices. That happened inside one single year.

Even at the start of October or end of September I believe we were at 28-30k range, and we reached 68k+ in October, and in November we went down again under 50k or early December, so that means within just 2-3 month span we managed to 2x increase and 50% drop, just within 2-3 months. So, if 100k is 2x of where we are right now, that is not as terrible as it may sound, not in crypto at least.

49k is not bad at all. I would agree that it is not crashing nor has it been for a while and it hasn't gone up too much recently neither. We are living in a situation where it has been decent enough to suffice for a while and that is all we need at this moment.

As long as it keeps being this way then we are going to be fine. Stop loss is a tricky situation and you need to make sure that you put it at the right place, otherwise you will lose a lot of money. For example if you do a stop loss at 48k and buy order at 45k then you could maybe be fine, if you do stop loss order at 42k then you might hit that and go straight back up. All in all just like you said there is no assurance of another dip won't be coming, but there are no assurances about the price is not going back up neither, we just need to be ready for whatever happens next in the price movements, doesn't matter up or down, we need to be ready.

I am not entirely sure if softs was what Max or Red Bull really wanted to start the race with. That will give Max a clear advantage for a while, and he will be able to take the lead probably, I mean he kind of has to take the lead for sure otherwise it is going to be horrible for him. Considering he takes the lead and brings it to a 20+ second difference before he has to pit, then he could potentially have a great race, put on the hard tires and just go to distance with it.

However, if he doesn't take the lead, or he has Hamilton right behind him before he needs to pit, then it is going to be horrible for him, there is no way Hamilton would give up position when he has much better tires. Max with that lock-up surely did have a horrible result even though he is at pole, it is going to be a strategically warfare once again and we all know how that works out. I would say most places closed their bets already, but if you can, then Max at pole may have increased his chances and lowered for Hamilton, I would say that is a good bet for Hamilton in the long run.

This is a way to become a good trader, a great trader really but it also requires a lot of time as well. You have to understand that there are a lot of people who go to work every day, work 8 hours, but they usually come home at evenings, which means you start your "own" day at 18:00 or so, even later if you live in a place with traffic like I do. Which means you have only a few hours a day.

If you both trade and learn to trade that is whole day gone, if you keep doing that every day, then when are you going to live your life? When you become rich from trading? What if that doesn't happen, or takes decades for it to happen? In that case you just spend a lot of years for just working all day, first at your job then trading and never did anything for yourself. I am not saying what you said is wrong, it is 100% correct, it is just not quite possible for everyone in the world.

It is not "that" much under 50k, people act as if we reached 45k already or even getting closer to 40k but the reality is that we only dropped a slightly under 50k, which means it is not doing that bad at all if you ask me and will do a lot better in the long run as well. Why? Because whenever the price falls down, there are those who accumulate, whenever it is accumulated that means it can't keep going down even more, so there is always a bottom and when that is reached the price starts to go up a lot.

I believe that we already tested that, and since we managed to go higher that means we are doing fine right now, it should not be all that difficult to see it going up soon.

I would say that focusing on increasing your profit over time is a lot more important than increasing your VIP level. I mean even if you do 1.02 bets that doesn't mean that you will make a profit, in 50 bets you could lose a few times and that would be a big loss for you and you will have your wagering high in that case but you will also have a high loss.

It doesn't matter if you wager on 2x or 1.02x or 5x doesn't matter because the house edge is 1% in all of them. Sure in one of them you are increasing your wagering amount quicker than other methods and it is more steady so you gain VIP levels but if you lose the same amount of money and end up with no money then what does a VIP level could even mean to you?

I know he hasn't been getting the attention he deserves for a while now, but lets not act like he is a useless player neither. It is too early in his career to say he should go to a lower level team just to get more playing time. I mean if he was bought by Arsenal (which I do not see them having the budget for right now in salaries) then he should be playing every game there.

Look at what happened with Bale, dude was amazing at Real Madrid, then something happened and they started to not use him all that much, then he ended up with a great return to Spurs, and then became nothing at Madrid again. Madrid is the place where talents go to die, same happened to so many players, and some players handled it very well and became great. So, I would say that it is very unlikely for him to go to a bad team to get more time, he is still great and people will see that as soon as he moves to another team.

Accumulation stage has already ended, whatever drop we had, we had it already and that was it. I am quite happy with seeing all these increases because it shows that there is a good chance we could end up making a good return from them. Obviously it is not guaranteed deal and we just need to make sure we are doing fine with what we have and not risk too much thinking we are going to skyrocket from here.

Those investments are the riskiest, we think we saw the bottom, we put everything we have into crypto and then we realize there was a bigger bottom and that causes everyone to panic and basically it is just pure chaos in the market. We just need to relax, invest what we can afford to lose as always, and try to have a positive outlook and try to avoid saying anything that would risk the future increases in bitcoin. If we all do that, then we could profit very well.

I could have said it before as well but we managed to break down under the support level, it does happen and it is not a shock. Realize that bitcoin is something that is volatile and fragile at the same time. That is how we manage to go up a lot in price and that is how we manage to drop a lot at the same time as well. If the support and resistance levels were that much hard to crack, then we wouldn't have months where we go 2x higher, but at the same time we wouldn't be able to fall too much, even though not dropping sounds great, not going up like that is not great at all.

The reality is that we can go up a lot, and we do not care about resistance points, whereas we also do not care about support all that much neither and we drop down a lot. This is why anything could happen, we could be under 50k, we could be over 70k, that is how much volatile we are in the crypto world.

I assume that "decide if you want to be rich" is basically just a method of saying "if you want to be rich, you know what you need to do, if you don't do it, then you practically decide not to be rich". Obviously many things could end up blocking you from doing it, like health reasons, unexpected costs and many other things could lead you to end up not getting rich and not allowing you to make a profit.

However, if your life goes as expected, if you have a boring 3 years of your life next, if you just go to work everyday and come home everyday, then in 3 years you could be wealthy. How? Simply put, do not live, I mean sure be alive, but do not "live". Just wake up, take the bus, go to work, work, take the bus, go home, watch netflix, eat noodle or any other cheap stuff, and sleep, and repeat this for three years.

If you do this, you will hate life, it will be horrible, you will want to break the cycle and do something, maybe do it once a month just to keep yourself sane. You will end up with so much more money every month, and you could put that into bitcoin and other smart coins and you will make a huge profit in 3 years. This is of course nothing unexpected happens, you could get sick, you could get fired, you may not find a job for a long time, all of these would prevent it, I just talk about people who can do this.

Bitcoin itself is used by El Salvador as we know, used by Bahamas uses it in altcoins and blockchain and network reasons for many official stuff, there are nations who invest into companies for their funds that owns bitcoin, so technically they invest into companies that invest into bitcoin.

There are quite a few interestingly, not a ton but there are some. We also have official branches that invest as well even if not government, like pension funds, mayors, states and so forth in USA that are in billions (Miami mayor, Ohio state, firefighters pension fund) and many other examples like that. All in all it is a trusted and well respected method of investment for many people and many corporations and many government branches all around the world. Sure there are some that want to ban (like China) but there are also more that want to invest.

They are mainly rich places? I mean if you look at the cost of living in those cities, and compare it to the mean average of the rest of the world you will realize that these places are one of the richest ever. If you look at the nations they are in, they are from the richest nations as well, hell California (San Francisco) is 5th biggest economy in the whole world if it was a nation.

So, to think that they have a bigger crypto presence is basically all due to them being rich. This is why I believe that we are talking about something very valuable here, it is definitely something about the wealth that they have which caused them to be at the top of the list.

And then lost to wolves, city, tied with brighton, lost to freaking brentford. I mean sure they are not bad, they are fourth team in standings right now so they are obviously doing well, but imagine how much better they could have done if they simply won against wolves, brentford and brighton, that's 8 points right there, which would have tied them at the top.

I am not saying they should have won against everyone or anything here, a team that can beat Liverpool, city, chelsea and so forth, could easily beat the other three that I named, it was definitely possible and they were by far the favorites in those games and lost points in them and that caused them to be fourth instead of first. They are certainly weird with how they beat good teams, and lose points to bad teams.

Genoa is a team that is at the very bottom right now, 18th or something I think, and Juventus is trying to reach to top once again. In a week where Napoli lost points, everyone else got a win at the top so that they got a little bit closer. Juventus needs to keep playing like this so that they could actually have a chance to be at top three, which is the least that would be accepted. It wasn't really unexpected for Juventus to win, it was clear that they would get 3 points out of this.

If we are shocked about just the stats, 27 shots and just 2 goals, versus zero shots, I could potentially understand a shock at 0 shots, because they play for 90 minutes and you would statistically expect at least 1 shot, but the 27 shots on Juventus' part was not really shocking because most of them were horrible just purely "here take this" tests and nothing more.

Depends on how it is used. Open source is very important if you are investing into something, it is not so important when others copy it. For example, if you want to invest into BNB because it copied ETH, that would be wrong, but if you want to invest into ETH and want to check their code, then being open source is an advantage. Plus, it gives smaller projects the chance to be vetted, when the whole code is checked and found to be perfectly fine, then people would feel better about investing into it.

When a code is verified then it would become a lot better to check and we have so many places like CertiK that checks the codes and audit them and give people their opinion. Which is why I honestly believe that open source is important when you want to invest, but it is supbar when others copy yours and make their project based on your code, but that would be figured out eventually if they are open source as well.

Mana still looks like it has a great future for me. I am considering buying it but I am not sure, maybe I will just throw in 100 dollars soon or by the end of the year and hope that 2022 would be the year MANA would be reaching to a huge level.

It is clear that we are talking about something that is great and we need these tokens to reach to x10 or more in 2022 to mean something at the rankings but even x2 here instead of waiting for bitcoin to be 100k+ is easier to wait right now. This is why I believe that we are talking about something we collectively want, it is easier, it requires less money to x2 these smaller cap gems and they may actually do it.
