3701  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is your opinion on recent bull market, will it be over soon? on: November 16, 2021, 03:03:39 PM
Markets are moving in cycles.
After a bull market, a big correction will happen.
The only question is when it will happen.

The bull market is a great opportunity for those long time holders to take profit. The bull market is a great opportunity for the traders to get profit as well. We all know that this bull market that we are experiencing right now will end up. Its only a matter of when it will happen. Many are saying that the bull market will end up next year and many are saying that it might be extended until next year. My opinion about the recent bull market? Well, I hope that many took profits already but what I'm feeling is this bull market will end up possible next year. Take note its my opinion and if it will not happen then good for us Smiley.
I believe that a big correction doesn't happen for too long anymore. I mean remember how long it took us to break that 2018 crash? We got back to 20k only 2-3 years later, it was late 2020 I believe, that is a very long time to get back to ATH. Now? We had 64k during late April, early may and then we had under 30k during/after summer, and we now reached 69k again during the last 2 months. That should tell you that corrections and crashes are different and we may have some corrections but we do not have crashes that much anymore.

I do not know when that will happen neither, but it doesn't happen very slowly, so a stop loss should allow you to be keeping safe from a sudden crash, I suggest using one that is not too close, but not at 30k neither.
3702  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which cryptocurrencies have the lowest transaction fees? on: November 16, 2021, 01:15:14 PM
Some of the lowest fees in the industry include the following: TRON, EOS, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Bitcoin
For my day-to-day transactions, I have already started making use of TRON because it is having the lowest transaction fees as far as I am concerned. I have installed brainwallet and bought some TRON when it was trading for less than 100 satoshi some months back and I am staking them in brainwallet.

This way while I am enjoying the lowest transaction fees for my routine crypto transactions,  I am also earning by staking Tron coins; this must be a double advantage I am enjoying because of Tron.

I heard litecoins also having lowest transactions fees but I have no idea about EOS and BCH.
3703  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible to avoid all scams? on: November 15, 2021, 09:56:19 PM
I will be honest and as a newbie in the past I had been scammed a few times too and I must say that all you newbies are really lucky.
You people have all the information that is needed to prevent yourself from being scammed but back in those days falling prey to a scam was really easy.
I have learnt from my experience and was never scammed from the past 4 years. We can prevent ourself from getting scammed by taking the necessary security measures.
There are many types of scams happening every week, try to read about it and find out how scammers scam the people.
Learn from the mistakes of others and it will help you from getting scammed.
When I first started it was such a horrible situation that we literally would get scammed on our very first day. It was a very wild west type of place where everyone would scam everyone and nobody would be able to do anything. Right now the laws are better, the information is better, sharing who is dangerous and what type of scams are out there and many other things are out there.

It is a lot harder to get scammed but nowadays people are getting scammed collectively a lot more, and the amount is a lot more as well. Back in the day when even the biggest mt.gox happened the dollar amount wasn't as huge as some of the scams that happened recently, I have seen as high as 1 billion dollars for a scam, so individual ones are getting fewer but collective ones are increasing.

Out of the dark clouds having a silver line shows the possibility of success out of gambling. The hard part everyone can't be on the silver line. Gambling is all about fun, and to stay safe setting our limits is a must.

Gambling can be compared with the cryptocurrency market, because if our calculation have gone against our prediction we might end up losing. Once after losing, out of stress should not take decisions to recover the loss. This will make you go for investment on shitcoins. Same as that one should not loss patience once after losing, because lack of patience will force the user to spend big. If lucky the recovery happens else it'll be a big loss.
That is the case with everything in life, there are positives and negatives. Gambling, in essence, is meant for FUN and only FUN, consider it like watching a game of soccer live, you had fun you spent money, no IFs and BUTs should be there. I don't really agree with the positive points in OP because I feel you start taking gambling too seriously when you seek positives from it.

Remember, gambling should be only for fun and if you are gambling or betting for anything other than fun and time killing, you are making a huge mistake and potentially digging a hole for yourself.

I personally feel that slots aren’t working for you so why don’t you try some other game like blackjack on Stake?, begin with small and it’s really addictive so be careful, but chances of earning high are there provided you plan your strategy well.
Which Blackjack game are you talking about precisely? The in-house provably fair one, a third party one or a live table game? I saw that Evolution Gaming has recently opened "Stake exclusive" blackjack live tables dedicated to players from Stake.
I doubt that it would make any difference. Blackjack is blackjack and I do not know most of them I just know the in house one and it is fine enough. I haven't played it in a while now (I should really play some more, it was fun!) but when I did it was really good.

It is a simple game, a very very simple game but it is at least harder than dice, just a smidge and a half but it is definitely better feeling as well. With games like dice you end up just rolling and you get the result and that's it, with blackjack you get 15 and you do not know if you should stop or hit one more, those type of periods do make the biggest difference and that is why I love it.

Doesn't matter which provider you go with, if stake approved that provider that usually means that it is legit and not some fake bad place, I get that most people are not sure about it, and they want to make sure that it is a decent provider in other casinos, but in stake whatever they support is what I would support as well.
3706  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: cryptocurrency trading is safe than forex trading on: November 14, 2021, 09:16:49 PM
As long as I've been in the world of trading for some reason, I've never really been interested in trying Forex because it's not trading for me but like gambling. So for me it is not suitable for someone who already knows the ins and outs of crypto trading and it is impossible to fall in love with trading which is much more risky like trading on Forex.
But if you are into trading then you can trade at any market because technical aspects of active trading is common across all markets which can be Forex or cryptocurrencies or bullion markets. Forex trading might seem like gambling for you but when you are approaching the market trading without the help of technical analysis then only a trading will become like a pure gambling (the basic difference between gambling and trading is technical approach).

In my opinion cryptocurrency is 100 times safer compared to any other trading but you need to trade only high volume and known coins because getting into some random shitcoins and then looking for its price to increase may not help even you are trading in cryptocurrency markets.
3707  Economy / Speculation / Re: New ATH choo choo time ? on: November 14, 2021, 03:55:23 PM
We're talking about traders, not people in general. You can't call yourself a trader if you're a holder, it's almost exactly the opposite principle. Traders want to close positions as quickly as possible so they put their liquidity to work.

You're asking how we moved from 30k to 67k? From buyers, investors, retail and institutional, who want Bitcoin to own, not to trade.

Not hating on traders at all! Wish I could do it =) Just saying I'm certain most that do are selling (including myself, I use p2p platforms solely for selling, of course I only sell because I earn Bitcoin, so I wouldn't really call myself a trader but there you go).
I would say that even if you are purely a trader, and even a daily trader, I assume that "most" are not shorters if you ask me. I do not have the data to back this up, we need to know how many people bought and sold on the same day to know this, and how many of them were spot, leverage, margin or whatever and I do not have that data so I can't speak with certainty here.

However, I still assume that "most" usually means 50%+ and I doubt that 50%+ in this regard would be shorters. I am not saying that they are not plenty in that part of the world, even if we are talking about purely daily traders, I am sure that they are a lot but not most of the people. They are probably closer to 20-30% instead of 50%+ and that means they are still not most of the traders.
3708  Economy / Speculation / Re: New ATH choo choo time ? on: November 11, 2021, 08:05:19 PM
Other traders were saying that the market now were too good that almost the top 10 crypto in the market were all in bullish trend and somehow as a trader it mean that we must be careful because if there's no price correction takes place after it then we will might going to see a massive price drop again, it is still expected that the correction may takes place which we don't know when but I am also waiting for a price correction of bitcoin. I am expecting that there might be a little price correction coming after hitting $68K which is another record for the ATH of bitcoin.
Nah, traders are saying that because most of them are shorters. And a lot of them also thought Bitcoin was done with the 63k ATH. Leveraging long-term positions, and now feeling the pain and shame and regret of not getting on the train, holding a ticket to get off that keeps getting less attractive.

We've seen a few corrections already. In the midst of one right now. But we're no longer experiencing crazy parabolic gains, either, so the bears are probably squirming in their seats hating on the relaxed moves up and muted moves down.
I doubt that "most" traders are shorters, I mean maybe now but I doubt it. Why? Because if most of them are shorters, how did we move from 30k to 67k+ in few months? That means that most people are not even on leverage, most people are buying on spot and then some few of them are on leverage trading and some of those are shorters so it must be not so much money involved compared to rest of the market.

I am not saying that it is not impossible but I am definitely doubting that most people are shorters, most people are holders if you ask me. I mean imagine how much bitcoin is just sitting in wallets, not even moving, that’s the real majority if you ask me. However, the reality is that those who speak the loudest are probably the ones who shorted, only because they really want it to drop and it is really going up so much so they are working extra time.
3709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: November 11, 2021, 07:07:08 PM
As I recall, when Arsenal fell, their coach was also faced with the possibility of being sacked. Fortunately, Arteta can fix these problems and can even bring Arsenal into the top 5 for the time being. If Man United had kept Ole, then Ole could have followed in Arteta's footsteps because Man United actually has a lot of good players but for that, he had to do his best.

I think Ole has almost the same story as Sir Alex Ferguson when he first came to Man United. Sir Alex took 4 years to get his first trophy for Man United, and it took 7 years to win the EPL. What makes a difference, Sir Alex has proven to the world that he is a really great coach (giving many trophies to Man United), whereas Ole still hasn't managed to do it.
Right now, Arsenal is at 5th position, right? This team was at the bottom of the league for the starting weeks. Which means that if they are capable of being at the top with the same roster, then it should not be acceptable to be at the bottom as well.

I get why they were considering firing Arteta, now we have data to prove that they were good enough to be 5th at the very start as well, during that start if they got 1-2 more wins right now they would have been around the top, literally at the top maybe? So that start was unacceptable and if they failed to do the latest weeks like this, then he would be gone for sure, there is no doubt in my mind at all.
3710  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin on a recovery mode on: November 11, 2021, 06:18:03 PM
The truth is a great opportunity for those who are in BTC Hodl mode, however the price of BTC has been somewhat lateral, as it is between $ 61k- $ 62k and the trading volume is still waiting for something, I don't know what to think, if the bulls are waiting for a special date for some movement or if they are waiting for the bears to start their attack, while the price is at $ 61k I think a large liquidity pool is forming, which is not bad, because if they make a bearish attack that pool will be able to slow down the magnitude of the attack a bit, if this happens, it may give way, but it will not fall as strongly, but if the costs continue to go well, the price of BTC could be around $ 8 '- $ 85k just like you say.
Lateral? I mean it is already 65k right now and over that 61-62 range that you are talking about. Plus I get that "for a while" it has been like this and I get that. However reality is that we are talking about a full month or two that managed to get more than 2x return. How many things in the world gave people 2x profit in 2 months? I am sure there must have been a few things but I am pretty sure not a lot. So, it is not really lateral if you look at the grand scheme of things.

I get that when the price is between 60k and 70k and doesn't drop down but doesn't go up between those numbers for even just one month, people start to assume it is a lateral movement. However that is quite normal for most other stuff in the world, I can't say that it is lateral for most stocks for example, so we should not be expecting crypto to be volatile every single day neither.
3711  Economy / Speculation / Re: Coins that are more expensive than gold on: November 11, 2021, 03:38:21 PM
Right now estimated gold marketcap right now is 11.65 Trillion dollars, estimated ALL of crypto is 3 trillion dollars (and not even). This shows you that Gold is nearly 4x more than all of crypto world combined together.

If you really want to compare prices and then go ahead and do that but that is literally mocking yourself and showing you have zero clue how finance world works.

The reality is that if you really want to compare something then you should be comparing what we have in marketcap, and gold vs crypto is not even a question, it is clear. One has 11.65 while the other as a group has 3, that is not a fight that we can win right now.
3712  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: cryptocurrency trading is safe than forex trading on: November 10, 2021, 09:39:09 PM
I just understand that cryptocurrency trading is very well safe compare to forex trading. In cryptocurrency when bitcoin is high like this time, everyone will fine in the market. But greedy trader will not be fine. Everyone will be fine because if you loose don’t sell on loss just wait and the market will come back. i read about fundamental and technical analysis but I use different one which I dnt knw the name.
I use binance and in binance i watch the market and i will see hot/gainers/loosers/24hr vol. I will check the coins that are hot and i will check them in loosers and buy them and wait for 24hrs they will go back to gain and i sell. But in forex if the market is against you, its against you. What is the name of my style, is it fundamental or analization.
No, cryptocurrency trading is not much safe than forex trading. They’re both risky, but cryptocurrency trading has more risk than forex trading because the cryptocurrency market is more volatile than the forex market. In cryptocurrency the market can go down to as low as even 90% when you least expect it and that can make you to lose  most, if not all your investment in the cryptocurrency market.

So, you can see that there is a huge risk in trading cryptocurrency. with that said everyone have their own preference or what they would like to trade, if forex trading is not working for you then cryptocurrency market would likely work for you and that’s how it is for a lot of people. Being volatile also makes cryptocurrency market the best when it comes to the one that would give you much profit. You wouldn’t get as much profit as you’re doing in cryptocurrency when you are trading forex.
3713  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin makes new ATH. More ATHs to come shortly. on: November 10, 2021, 09:05:24 PM
More like 70K,but there will be a price correction after that.100K should be expected in the next years,unless the global "powers that be" decide to ban Bitcoin for some reason.
Now is the time to relax and enjoy the bull run.
I really hope that Elon Musk will shut up and decide not to troll over Bitcoin,like he did during the spring.
China is no longer a FUD factor,so there's nothing to expect from the Chinese Communist Party or the People's Bank of China.
I also hope that the Biden administration and the Federal Reserve won't cause any FUD,at least until the end of this year.
That is the problem with most traders and investors. People aim for too high when we are not even there, and then they get upset when it doesn't happen quick enough. I can almost guarantee that the price will be 100k one day, I am not saying it will be soon, but eventually it will happen and we all know this.

However, when we haven't even broken 70k, why would anyone aim at reaching to 100k? This is something I have been trying to talk about many many times so far and for some reason I do not understand why people keep ignoring it. I get that it may not be something that is hype worthy, I mean why would you get hyped about 67k to 70k? It is a small increase, but 67k to 100k is worthy of hype so I get it. However just because it is something you get hyped about doesn't mean that it is reasonable and realistic, first focus on the things in front of you.
3714  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Dogecoin - a joke or a way to make money? on: November 10, 2021, 08:34:49 PM
I don't know that this is a bubble or not, but it looks like it. it is very clear that the current push in the price of dogecoin is due to the support of Elon Musk. I think that this is a joke.
however, is this a way to make money? the answer is not certain. if you own Dogecoin when the price is still low, it's very clear that right now the profit you get is huge. However, is this an asset that deserves to be used as an investment tool? to me it's not worth it, but maybe some people see that it's worth it.
In crypto things are rarely "bubbles", bubble is not just price going up and then crashing down, bubble needs to have some sort of economy in it that doesn't make sense and even have some "ownership paper" involved because even if you own the item itself, you could say you value it that much even if others don't.

Doge is not a bubble, but it is just a very hyped useless token. Sounds similar to bubble, and it WILL crash hard eventually, people can't artificially increase the price without any reason forever, eventually everyone will get out, they are all in it to make some profit and nothing more, and that means they need to sell to make that profit. Most other crypto could be used, could be seen as utility but Doge is not one of them, which is why it doesn't make sense for it to be worth this much. This is why I believe it will crash, but still wouldn't call it a bubble.
3715  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: No more long term bear market on: November 10, 2021, 07:02:01 PM
If bear market is going to happen in 2022 it won't last long like the past because this adoption of a thing is 10x more stronger than the past, if you think that all crypto coins are going to lose 90% of their value again you are dreaming, oh unless Covid 2.0 happens
IMO, I believe in the saying that in the crypto industry everything is possible, that's why we cant so sure about how the bearish market will perform if it was going to happen in 2022 and for me, the best thing to do is prepare for the upcoming bearish market sentiment because we really don't know what will happens next. But I agree with some of your opinions that the market size has already grown compared before so it might have big changes in terms of effect if the bearish market sentiment will arrive. 
That is 100% true. Everything is possible in this market. This is true for price as well and I have been saying the same thing for a while, it could go up 2x in a month, or it could go down 80% in a month and both of them are equally possible. I would say that put some money aside for now, that is the best thing that you could do right now if you would like to get ready for a bear run.

If you have some cash saved aside (you could put it on stablecoins if you want to) then you would be ready whenever it happens, that way you would be able to just buy it when the price drops like crazy. It will not be able to hit you like lightning right away, but you would be able to see it when it happens.
3716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread on: November 10, 2021, 05:20:33 PM
In the last few weeks, Leverkusen's performance in the Bundesliga has not been very good, which in the last 4 matches Leverkusen have not been able to win even though (only got 2 draws and lost 2 times). But if you look at Leverkusen in the UEFA Europa League, their performance is pretty good and they get a good achievement, and most likely they will qualify for the round of 32 draw (or even round of 16 draw if they can be the winner in the group stage).

A team like Leverkusen has a chance to win the UEFA Europa League. If they are struggling in Bundesliga, then they will battle it out in the UEFA Europa League because they have the chance to do so.
That is true only if they have made up their mind where their biggest focus will be.If they are struggling in the Bundesliga then their main focus should to be to improve there and there will less focus on the Uefa Europa League thus massively reducing the chances for them to do any good there.It all depends at how they will look at things and what they value the most from these two options.
Most of the time European cups are more important than the local ones. Sure it would be awesome for them to win Bundesliga after so many years of Bayern dominance but we know that Bayern will win it this year as well. No matter who looks good so far, that will not matter because Bayern will keep on grinding out wins and will get that league title one way or another.

This means that Leverkusen basically has close to no chance to win the league. Whereas winning Europa would mean a lot of money in the pockets of the team and that would mean better transfers and better players, that should be something that they care about and I personally believe that they will focus just on that because it is the reasonable thing to do. They do not even have to win, the further they go, the more money they will make.

Highering Morinho as Manchester United coach will be the last thing the boards will do.They can't bring back a coach that has managed the team before,and during his tenure,he did nothing extra - ordinary.
I understand they are in search for a new coach,but that doesn't mean they will higher an average coach.Morinho is now seen as an average coach,he has nothing unique again.They should look for other options,some one who can build the team again,and turn things around at the club.
How weird it is that Mourinho turned from "the special one" to ordinary coach. Not that I am disagreeing, he is definitely not as good as he used to be and his playstyle became a bit old and not really working anymore, sure could be decent for Roma since there isn't much pressure on them right now and they are doing "just fine" which is good enough for them.

However Mourinho would be not good enough for United if Ole is sacked and they would need someone much better, like Zidane maybe, or even get Bielsa if you could, dude is one of the best managers I have seen when it comes to tactics. In a world where Bielsa is seen as a much better alternative then Mourinho, we all should realize that sometimes managers get worse, and Mourinho did exactly that. Imagine how he was expected to be awesome on his United stint just few years ago, and look at him now.

Beginning today and continuing forever, NFT games will continue to prosper and shape the way how the “gaming” economy works. Keep scrolling around the internet to look for more NFT games that pose great potential for development not only today but also in the years to come. I'm sure there are many other Play to Earn out there, care to share?
I am not really much motivated to invest in any cryptocurrency or blockchain game. Most of them that I’ve seen so far usually when they are launched,they come out with a high price and as time goes on they start to lose value, which is why I don’t really have much interest in them. But I do follow up and they seem really cool to me, I’ve seen a lot of them before which I can remember the names, but some hasn’t been launched.

I do make my research on them to know what is trending, and I know much about Axie Infinity and TheSandbox. Maybe as time goes if I am able to find one that I believe would be very good and worth investing in, then I will definitely go for it.
3719  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Weekend Trading, how do you feel about it? on: November 09, 2021, 09:08:23 AM
What do you think about Saturday and Sunday trading Huh

Considering it with week days which do you see as profitable or they are just the same thing to you.

I like for us to share how we feel about these two trading times, if you make more profit more or loss more on any of week days or weekend trading.
Personally, I think that weekend trading in is the same as trading on weekdays. But the thing here is that for some people, since they have to work on weekdays, it’s usually difficult for them to concentrate on their day-trading when it comes to Monday to Friday. But on Saturdays, since you have nothing doing you can be able to have full concentration on your trading and be able to achieve more success than weekdays that your mind is not fully concentrating on what you are doing.

So, I would say that for traders who have other jobs that they’re doing on weekdays, weekends are going to have a better advantage for them to trade. As for people who are full-time day traders, they would prefer to use weekends to have some time off and freshen up. You can’t get stuck in front of your screen all day, all week.
3720  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you think October will be for alts? on: November 09, 2021, 08:14:22 AM
In October there were several altcoins that experienced an increase in price, one of which was SHIBA INU, this coin experienced a price increase because Elon Musk posted pictures of Shiba Inu puppies and whales aka big traders who were actually buying up Shiba Inu.
In October Bitcoin also experienced a price increase so that bitcoin scored an all-time high of around $66,698 on October 20, 2021.
Bitcoin could go up without altcoins, and altcoins could go up after bitcoin has gone up.
So, for a short period of time there is a situation where altcoins go up when bitcoin doesn't move at all.

If you have been here long enough (which looks like you have) you know that after bitcoin reaches a peak, it drops just a smidge and then alt season starts where bitcoin stays around the same price and then alts go up like crazy. That is called alt season and that almost always happens after bitcoin reaches to a new all time high and a big one at that (not like the new record we had recently).

So, I believe that we will have alt season, and it will not be based on bitcoin at all, it will be based on purely alts.
