3761  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't wait for the bottom without buying in the Dip. on: September 16, 2023, 09:48:39 AM
While I agree that only one can never precisely guess where the bottom will be, one can guess when the dip or pump is coming to an end. And if one knows this, one also knows that anything that goes up must come down. And the reverse is also true. Buying at what you consider to be the bottom can be a good strategy, if you have the necessary experience and self-discipline. Although personally, I divide my money up and buy at each bottom. That way you gain some of the advantages of a good DCA strategy and divide up your risks.

It has worked for me quite well. Although I cannot say that it will work forever. At some point even I could take a miss-step and lose money.

Do what feels most comfortable to you. I am not here to advise on trading strategies or financials.
Your plan for buying seems to be working out great. Its like building a sculpture piece by piece without overwhelming any part. Your plan is a mix of what you know and what you think you should do. Bitcoin can blow any direction at any time, like the wind. Remember that past success doesnt guarantee future success. The crypto world rarely sees growth like your recognition of possible faults. I admire that you dont preach here. Sharing experiences without telling others what to do is a welcome change

Bitcoin knowledge is not only utilized through bitcoin investment. You can take part in any discussion about bitcoin because you know you have the advantage over others. You can be a bitcoin enthusiast and work like a bitcoin influencer or you can be a bitcoin ambassador that will promote bitcoin in your country. With that, your knowledge on bitcoin has always prove that you can be an instrument towards others to learn bitcoin as well. If you decide to invest in the future, that's already your individual's choice and decision.
In my opinion, when you have never been involved in an investment instrument – ​​it is difficult for you to learn that instrument consistently. It is clear to see that when someone starts investing their money in a particular instrument - then they will learn about it regularly and that will keep their knowledge increasing.

One's interest in a subject allows for greater understanding - but, possession of bitcoin is not a prerequisite for learning about it. On this forum, many users are learning about bitcoin without initially owning any. But then, they eventually acquire bitcoin through investment or other means.
You bring up an interesting point: investing to learn versus learning to invest. Theres value in jumping right in to learn the details, but theres also value in watching, learning, and then taking the leap of faith.

Yes, nothing makes you pay more attention than having something at risk. If you have money at risk, you're more likely to stay up-to-date, read the news, and know how the market is moving. But this isnt the only way to do it. In the world of Bitcoin, groups like this can be thought of as an alternative way to learn. Here, you can learn from the knowledge (and stupidity) of the group without having to put your own money at risk.

At first, people might just lurk around threads and posts, but over time, many of them become involved participants who take part in discussions and even invest. There is no "one-size-fits-all" way to learn about Bitcoin.

3763  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What type of advice is worth giving such people? on: September 16, 2023, 08:58:08 AM
Everyone who hadn't got much technical knowledge about bitcoin could've experienced hack and loss of bitcoin during their early days of bitcoin usage. Personally I've experienced it on a P2P platform while converting bitcoin to cash. This is completely my mistake, because I didn't kept all the security features enabled. A scammer somehow took control of my account and transferred all my funds to another wallet. Though it was a centralised platform they weren't able to recover the funds. This happens, and further I was aware of all the security features and never stay careless while making transactions and selling. The best advice is to use all the security features and keep your bitcoin in non custodial wallet and transfer to exchange and other platforms only when there is need.
Im really sorry to hear about what happened to you. Unfortunately, many beginners face it. Im glad you learned from this and are now taking safer approach. A non-custodial wallet is indeed one of the best ways to secure your Bitcoins. After all, you hold the keys to your own house.

Add 2FA to all Bitcoin sites, remember that. Please remember that deals that look too good to be true usually are. Criminals are becoming smarter at their tricks. Some even make fake apps and websites.

So, its not enough to just set up security features; you also have to be careful at all times. Always double-check URLs and update software.

3764  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ignore the new Apple toys & Invest in Bitcoin, history always repeat itself. on: September 16, 2023, 08:38:13 AM
It's not necessarily an either-or situation. You can buy a new Apple device and continue to stack sats. I have purchased several Apple devices with Bitcoin that I've earned through the years and don't have any regrets. An iPhone you purchased one year ago might not have the same value but in those past 12 months you've gotten a lot of use from it.

Are you trying to say you can't get same use from a cheaper phone, Iphone aren't the best phone on the market, they just have a lot of marketing and celebrities using the phone which makes others (in attempt to feel among, breaks their bank to buy one). philipma1957 talked about buying a Samsung phone that's very much cheaper and can save you money that can be used to invest in Bitcoin. I even said if you're that in love with apple then buy their shares on the market instead of wasting it on a gadget that can be stolen or get spoiled.
Choices and choices. It might be a worst choice or a best choice.
Having to buy because you need and see what values it could bring to you isn’t exactly a bad thing. There might be cheap alternatives for sure but, all devices aren’t programmed the same way or offer the same quality.

I think where the problem is would be getting into a competition between yourself and what’s the latest on the Apple Store. That would be a worst thing anyone would do to himself or herself because, you just end up loosing money every time to brands and business strategy. It doesn’t matter just how much your making but, just realize your sending a good load of it right back while getting less in return for the value your paying.

Apple might be overpriced but, they don’t have to stop sales nor production.
Don’t be in a competition, get a device that works and so long as it works be good with it and keep up with your investments as well.
Choices, indeed. I see you understand the conflict between wants and needs. Why would somebody turn a blind corner and hit the "latest and greatest"? Apple's products are amazing, but they're not giving free golden eggs. I understand your point; you're buying piece of mind, not just a product. Like picking up a hammer that wont break mid-swing. A hammer with an Apple logo is cool too. But if you're going to invest in something expensive, you better make sure you can balance it with smart financial judgments elsewhere, like Bitcoin?

Your money, your life. Spend wisely on both. Dont pursue the new high; sometimes what you have is what you need.

At times, we're so caught up in the present, the trades and price swings, that we forget we're mortals. These are good questions and your introspection makes sense. Like wills for real belongings, how should we treat digital assets in the digital age?

- Sharing your seed word with a trusted family member is a good idea, but make sure they know how important it is.
- Things are harder when you dont have any close family. But if you have a friend or relative you trust completely, you might want to let them know.

Also, perhaps look into platforms or services that offer solutions to this particular issue. Digital wills can be set up so that they are automatically carried out when certain things happen.
3766  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Some Countries living behind their century, taking a back sit on BTC evolution. on: September 16, 2023, 07:57:06 AM
Its odd that certain countries dont grasp this financial revolution message. In countries with unreliable banking systems, cryptocurrencies could be game-changers. Education is a must. In many locations, "Bitcoin" still makes people stare at each other (not positively). More knowledge helps people make healthy decisions. For those unfamiliar with crypto, it can like reading a philosophy book. You must simplify. Its not enough to offer crypto. Easy to understand is also required. There are many perplexing terms, such as "blockchain," "mining," and "wallets." Very easy to get lost.

You, my friend, are freaking awesome. You're not just dreaming about change; you're out there, rolling the dice, and trying to make things happen.

The challenges your state and region face are no small potatoes. Yet, here you are, making lemonade out of those lemons. Your idea to introduce Bitcoin technology into secondary schools? Damn that is cool. And the fact that you're reaching out for opinions here? Even more impressive. Its evident that you've got your ducks in a row, with that retreat and Train-the-Trainer bootcamp.

Honestly, the crypto community owes you big time. Not only are you thinking ahead, but you're also actively trying to make tomorrow better.
3768  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is your take on Mt. Gox refund ? on: September 16, 2023, 02:53:27 AM
As anyone gotten paid already or it's another rumour? It's not the first time that I will hear that payment to all those affected years ago has begin, it's all a lie or rumour until it's unproven not to be, I do not think it's ever going to happen again.

If this do happen, it's possible that there will be a massive sell off and it will affect the price of Bitcoin and other crypto assets too, it's not something I will worry myself about, the thing is I hope those who are affected have learned their lesson.

Till today too many people are feeling relaxed about using centralized crypto exchanges to store their coins, those who got hacked are the one that got the bad ending, says people that are using CEX for keeping their assets.

It was MT.GOX years ago, it was FTX not too long and yesterday it was Coinex, maybe it will be Coinbase tomorrow, so instead of keeping your coins on exchanges  ( they never belongs there) it's better to keep in your private crypto wallets.
9 years have already passed since the hack, does anyone really think that after such a long time Bitcoins will be returned? Only when I see that many people write that they received payments of their bitcoins from the MTGOX hack, then I will believe that this process has really begun. This is all because I am almost sure that this won't happen. And even if this happens, some are no longer with us, some have lost interest in crypto, some have forgotten about it and other reasons. When they say that there will be pressure on the price, there will always be those who will buy these bitcoins at a great discount.

Well, they had the announcement, do you think authorities will make a joke on this matter? It has been on the news that Mt. Gox victims will be having a refund.  Although it is possible that not all will be accomodated but I believe that the distribution will commence.

When these Bitcoins get into the market, we know that the market will react negatively due to the sudden increase in supply if the Bitcoin refunded is put in the market to be sold by their owner.   It is the best time then to buy more Bitcoin because the price would be at a discounted price by then.

If the government really cares about this issue, why has it been 9 years and no one has received their bitcoins back beyond Mt.gox's promise? It is true that they did not confirm that they will not compensate the victims, but so far has anyone received even the smallest amount of compensation? 

Mt.Gox has launched multiple compensation options for investors, be it USD or some altcoins, not just BTC. Therefore, we cannot know how many bitcoins will be distributed to the market if MT.gox actually compensates investors. Furthermore, the BTC refunds will last for several years, they will not pay out all at once, so there is no guarantee that it will put pressure on the market.
Why does the resolution seem to be a mirage in a huge financial wasteland? Its been nine long years, and promises seem to be getting less clear. When we look at what the government is doing, we might think that, with all of their money and power, they have an easy win in this game. Still, we're still getting fuzzy promises.

Mt.Gox has, in fact, given a lot of choices. But truth is still hard to find among all these options. We've been given a hand with several cards, but we dont know which one is the best. Even though I understand that the BTC returns might take a while, Im not sure that it would change the way the market works in a big way because it will happen slowly. Our best bet might be to be patient, but many people are getting tired of this plan.
3769  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can money be saved in gambling sites? on: September 15, 2023, 06:02:36 PM
Why would you want to save money on a gambling site despite the fact that there are various types of investment and money saving mediums like bank deposits, gold, silver, real estate, bitcoins in the country? lol. Saving money on a gambling site is the same as putting meat in front of a tiger's mouth. So it would be one of the worst thoughts if one wants to save money on gambling sites. A gambler can never control himself when there is money on the gambling site and he will rush to gamble with that money. and lose that money
I think we should keep whatever money we have as deposit in the bank. We will deposit in the gambling site as much money as we can gamble and enjoy and if all the money is kept in the gambling site then we will be very stupid. Many people while gambling.  There are people who cannot control themselves so if one starts gambling with all his money in a gambling site then when he loses some money there is a possibility of losing all money to recover that money.
Bank can be a good and reliable medium for saving money but here it is only possible to save one's own money and also it is not possible to get good interest because the bank gives a very small amount of profit. so if we find a good asset for savings like bitcoin gold and invest money on them thinking of future savings then maybe it can bring a positive result. However, it is not possible to save money on gambling sites.  Because if there is money there will definitely be more tendency to gamble and that money may be lost through gambling. So it can never be through a strong servings method
Banks do offer stability, but the returns? Yeah, peanuts. Bitcoin and gold can be interesting; their value often bucks the trend of traditional financial instruments. And who doesnt like the idea of their assets, well, actually appreciating in value? Keeping money in gambling site is really a bad idea. Investing is about discipline and foresight, and gambling sites... well, they play a different game. One should always approach them with caution.
3770  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Behaviours of gamblers you dislike. on: September 15, 2023, 05:50:53 PM
There are some gamblers who fail to control themselves after losing. Those gamblers try to blame others for their gambling failures. Some are anxious themselves, even if they don't directly blame themselves. As a result, they do not maintain good relations with family, friends and relatives. But not everyone does this. We can gamble but we should gamble with money such money that losing will not affect the personal life of the gambler. Only they should remember that winning and losing both are part of gambling so one should not expect only win they should ready for loss.
I always see gambling as fun but there are some people who choose to make money from gambling. Those who can control themselves while gambling can enjoy gambling. If money is lost while gambling then we should.  Abstain from gambling for some time. And if someone thinks that he will recover the money that has been lost and stop gambling, then he will do great stupidity. Because while gambling, one can never warm his head to take small wrong decisions.  Because all money is at risk so we have to be careful while gambling.
you see gambling as fun, you may not have suffered much from it yet. A smart person always keeps himself under control and because of this he is not serious about gambling. And they are able to protect themselves from the harmful effects of gambling.  People who play gambling regularly for source of income or for any other purpose without taking gambling as fun can no longer control themselves and become deeply addicted to gambling. So it is wise to use gambling only for fun purposes

They will chase a win meaning they need to win a game so that they can earn something. This is where the addiction starts. if you treat gambling as a source of income like work and earn on a daily basis. If you don't win that is where you play more and double your bet which is the sign you can't control yourselves. It will continue for a couple of days or even months and you will find out that you can't live a day without doing a gamble and what's worse you've lost a lot of money on it instead of earning.

Always think of gambling as fun and not a source of income no matter whether you win or lose just enjoy every bit of the game and make friends of it so that you won't be thinking about winning that round  if you think like that gambling can put food on your table daily then your wrong find a job.
"Next big win" can make you forget whats right, and many people fall into the loop you described: doubling down and pursuing losses. Balance is the key in betting, as in everything else. Being careful and self-aware can make it fun.

You're right; making it your main income is dangerous and typically leads to problems. There are other ways to generate money and flourish, and we should find what makes us happy. I agree with all you said. Gambling should be an enjoyable side dish, not the main.
3771  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How was your first experience with gambling? on: September 15, 2023, 05:38:50 PM
Feeling nervous when placing a bet is a normal thing for some novice gamblers. That's because they are not used to it and may still be confused about what they should set before placing a bet. That also happened to me when I first started gambling, and it's okay because, with time, that feeling of nervousness will disappear, and we will get used to gambling. Some people may hope to win from gambling, so they place big money bets, but they don't know that it will only speed up the end of their money. Usually, these beginners might get lucky to win the gambling game. There are also novice gamblers who experience losses at the beginning of their gambling, which is normal.

Yes, a good experience, the first win is certainly thrilling. I myself was worried whether the money would go into my wallet or not, when I first played I used fiat money, and the withdrawal process took 1 hour. The next day I met with my friends to celebrate the bigwin.

But unfortunately the winnings didn't last long, the next day I deposited again with the remaining money I had, and it was all gone. Very sad...
feeling hesitant when you want to place a bet is very normal for beginner gamblers and what worse is that when placing a bet you are still confused, dont know how and dont see the amount you are betting on and it turns out that the all in was done by accident but luck came the first time you got a big win and I am sure there are several people who have had experiences like this. several people told me when they tried to gamble, even though they accidentally placed a bet on roulette for the first time and were very lucky, the person had the ball stop exactly on the number he chose and he had the first luck when he gambled for the first time.
I am sure that this lucky first time gambling experience will be a bad initial experience because after that the beginner gambler mind will think that tomorrow he will win again and lose, after that he deposits his money again and continues to chase the loss. I call it a good start to a bad future.
Starting to game is usually exciting and scary, right? I know, hitting the jackpot by chance feels like fate winked at you. A stone you trip over may contain a gold coin. That first rush, especially when unexpected, can be addicting. Problem is, you cant plan for gambling.

Because of its unpredictability, its "gambling" not "earning." Fortune is rewarding at first, but its just luck and luck. That first win may make someone assume, "Hey, this is easy!" However, be mindful. Remember that the house always wins.

Setting time and money constraints is smart when starting off. Discipline keeps you from chasing losses.

Gambling addiction is a problem that not all would really be able to handle and eventually becomes even more worst.They would really be just making those realizations on the time that they
do struggle on a certain condition specially in correlated with financial problems.
Yes, it is difficult to overcome gambling addiction, especially if it has become a habit, it will be difficult to stop without a strong desire, not everyone thinks that people can get out and stop their addiction, it is very difficult, even a professional will have difficulty in the end to cure it. addicts, therefore gambling must be done correctly using a healthy mindset so as not to become addicted.

Usually gamblers are a bit slow to realize this after spending a lot of time gambling and having financial problems, because if that happens, there is nothing the addict can do to cure it because many people on this forum are looking to find out how to cure it and it's not easy. Even though it is easy, it must be overcome carefully by reducing the habit slowly so that it is easier to stop gambling over a long period of time.
Some say willpower is vital, while others say counseling or a support group is key. Your intellect is your biggest weapon in this struggle. Having an "aha" moment helps solve an issue. You're right - sometimes people dont seek solutions until they're involved in gambling.

Remember: changing habit is never too late. Instead of making a big change all at once, it might be better to make small changes and give a little push. Admitting you have a problem, getting help, and making little changes can improve your gambling relationship.

~snip~


I like what you say, it is true about the weak mentality, it is not something that can be worth carrying always, especially when it is with a casino, a player should always control his emotions and not allow the emotions to be above his person Here in these cases what should be done is that when there is a lot of danger of doing things wrong, then stop and wait, not jump in, because I have played like that and when I get carried away by emotions and I mess up more and lose or so I won, I feel that I have been irresponsible , because I have risked more than I should have and that is not the idea, I mean doing things in a controlled manner and not risking too much.

Limiting oneself is crucial for both life and gambling. As you are aware, pushing oneself too far can be risky; its a slippery slope. To begin with, the first thing that will enable you to play correctly is your inherent self-awareness. Recall that the purpose of a game should be enjoyment, not guilt trips. A tight budget and frequent breaks are two more effective strategies for maintaining the right balance between leisure and responsibility.
3774  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there real sports bet groups on: September 15, 2023, 05:01:50 PM
Point taken: while there may be groups that believe in maximizing profits through dubious means, its important to approach the world of betting with caution. Betting, at its heart, should be about skill, research, and a bit of luck. Relying on a supposed "fixed game" is quite... pathetic

Your comment on bankroll management are right. True, bigger bets might mean bigger returns, but they also mean bigger risks. Its like to putting all your eggs in one basket and then being surprised when the basket breaks.

As for the idea of self-reliance, I'm right there with you. The best teacher often is experience. Every mistake, every loss, and every win shapes you, refining your strategy and instincts. So, tread wisely, and may the odds ever be in your favor.
3775  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why gambling beginners must not joke with casino announcement on: September 15, 2023, 04:50:02 PM
The world of gambling, especially for beginners, can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. Casinos, whether brick-and-mortar establishments or online platforms, are designed to offer a myriad of games, promotions, and experiences. Amidst the glitz and glamour, casino announcements serve as a crucial guidepost, especially for novices
High curiosity about gambling and big wins obtained by other people in gambling. This can have a negative impact on the beginner. Moreover, if he gambles without supervision from more experienced people, this can cause a beginner to gamble and place bets in a hurry which can result in them acting carelessly due to their own actions. Understanding announcements in casinos is very important, but most people who join in gambling, they ignore this.
I agree, in a hurry there is more likely to be damaged when we win a bet our brain gives us a mental reward so we need to understand the gambling techniques well. The activities of the experienced people in gambling are very helpful. Socialization emotional development and improvement of skills are some of the benefits that you will enjoy while gambling. Most of the time the gambling becomes a addict when the negative effect comes. The best way to enjoy gambling is to restraint because like all other things in life restraint is the key.
Learning from experienced players is great, but can we trust their strategies? Every bet, game, and situation is unique. Gambling can help people meet friends, improve their abilities, and grow emotionally, but addiction is possible.

It's nice that you emphasize balance. Holding a horse by the reins lets you control its speed and direction while avoiding danger. Just as crucial as winning is understanding when to stop playing for your health.
3776  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: benefits of having mature accounts at 3 casinos (personal experience) on: September 15, 2023, 04:47:02 PM
maybe, the OP is getting something on each of those accounts. as we have seen, each casino have their perks and bonuses. since he's a gambler, it seems that he's really spending quite a lot of money and time playing on these casinos. for some, it is total waste of money. but for most regular gamblers, they are happy about it. so long you are not having financial problems, then do your own thing.
Having a high account at 3 or more casinos can clearly provide benefits for him because each casino will provide certain rewards that he can get every week or month.
And yes, he probably spent a lot of money to get to that high level in each casino, and not many of us can do that.
And you are right that for the average gambler, it is not necessary, especially for those who only use gambling as entertainment.
They will probably have accounts at many casinos but will not try to reach a high level because the goal of gambling is just to have fun.
A complete clear point and I 100% agree with you, its like what I was saying or said in my previous comment in another thread, with this whole believe that the house always wins, which I personally believe to be true anyways, getting or building 3 high ranking accounts on 3 different casinos will require a whole lots of money, except the gambler is so lucky and is able to beat the house by wining a huge amount of money at the very begining of their gambling journey, then it can be said that reaching such a rank maybe easy, but then it may still require the gambler to end up spending all his huge winnings back in gambling, this is if another huge win doesn't come in the process.

This is something somebody like myself don't need, even if I am a billionaire and have the same mentality I have right now, I don't need such accounts because, gambling is all nothing but a way for me to catch fun and occasionally try to win something if possible, but in all my gambling years and experience, I've seen gambling as a means of having fun and not making money or making a living out of it , so for someone like me, they don't need such accounts; because they might even abadon the account with all it's benefits some day, such account is only good for very active gamblers, the types we refer to as professional gamblers.
I understand that not everyone likes investing in high-ranking accounts at several casinos. Not all gamblers are out there to make a living; some, like you, are in it just for the pure thrill and joy. Aint that life's essence? To enjoy moments rather than pursue great rewards?

You're right; some can make a tremendous profit early, but the chase might be endless. Every situation requires a balance. Knowing oneself and having limits keeps gambling fun. As you said, you care about entertainment, not awards. You did well to recognize it and enjoy the little things.
3777  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability on: September 15, 2023, 04:35:48 PM
<...>

You can consider the cost in applying for lottery as something affordable, in most cases they are free and the ones that cost you money are what one can manage to bear or afford.

Are those into lottery actually making money from these, maybe then when things were not as they were today, to me i see lottery as more of giving money to the participants than having the mindset of earning from it except for the applicants who applied and have successfully engaged into this opportunity after been selected,
If it would be so, we wouldn`t see so big choice of the different lotteries. In my country the profit from the lottery mustn`t be more than 50%. This is the profit to the owner. Due to such people like you, who see it as giving money the owners get their millions. It is not problem for me to spend $5, the problem is that i get nothing for these money and someone get this money from me, you, other gamblers and becomes rich. As for me it is the same as cheating.

I agree with you that it is not fair when it is an individual (or a company held by a few individuals) who gets half of the money. Every time a draw is held is the same as if they were the lucky winners? I assume that there are big expenses attached to running a lottery, but still, we are talking about a 50%. Maybe not cheating, if the rules are public, but still not fair. But as long as people keeps playing, I'm not sure if we can blame on them.

A different thing, from my perspective (I know many members distrust any kind of government), is when a certain government of a social and democratic state runs it and holds the 50%, which is the case in my country. That money will be reinvested in the people, better or worse, but that's important to me.
It seems odd for a private corporation or individual to take 50% of lottery proceeds, no? Lotteries give many people hope, a tiny investment in a dream. Even with clear operations, managers collect disproportionate amounts of money. However, government intervention to safeguard the public interest changes everything. In this instance, the lottery can benefit everyone. You were right: government trust is crucial. If people believe the money will help the public, the tale changes. However, everyone must know how the money is used. What you say makes me think we should examine the underlying purposes and behaviors of lottery systems, whether controlled by people or governments.

And if they fail to gather information from the public before publishing their review then they will do a very big mistake and it will bias from the public opinion. There are some casinos that the op listed there, that have different accusation in the forum yet they are listed as best casinos in the gambling space. And most people will not accept that because they casino has done them something is not right for them.

There are some casinos that I was expecting to be in the Op list but not found and that make me to understand the verbal phrase that, "what is god for one might not good for another person". I was expecting casinos like trustdice, roobet, nitrobet etc.
Without public opinion and firsthand experience, you may receive the erroneous idea. If you know nothing about a casino, proclaiming it "the best" is unfair. Imagine playing cards without knowing the rules.

Your perspectives on why some casinos werent listed highlight that people have diverse opinions. TrustDice and NitroBet may not be listed because of how they rate casinos. Some have "different strokes for different folks." Its crucial to remember that how you play your cards is equally as significant as the cards you're dealt in gambling and life.

Monero has long been systematically removed from centralized exchanges and moved to lesser-known exchanges or towards P2P. If Monero disappears from all centralized exchanges, the trading volume will move to decentralized exchanges, as was the case with ETH. When FTX went bankrupt, ETH trading volume on Uniswap exceeded that of centralized exchanges for the first time. Investors will find a way out, the life of the coin does not end on centralized exchanges, it is only somewhat hindered.

Liquidity will move to decentralized exchanges without a doubt. The real question is: Will Monero be valued the same? For what I know, institutional investors and whales are the ones who usually keep market prices afloat. An "outlawed" cryptocurrency would certainly scare away these people from getting into the game. This means less demand and a lower market price.

At least, Monero won't be going anywhere thanks to the way it was designed (decentralized and censorship-resistant). Who knows if Monero remains the sole privacy coin in the future due to strict government regulations? Just my thoughts Grin
Naturally autonomous, they break the rules. Privacy and freedom have always been Monero's priorities. Whats its value? The market's vibe changes often, which I adore. According to you, institutional purchasers and "mighty whales," stabilize the market. Demand may drop if people dont want to utilize a "illegal" cryptocurrency. Monero's endurance comes from its autonomy and inability to be blocked, although government regulations' total impact is unknown. The open design of Monero may be its strength or weakness in a market that wants to be trusted.

I mean it's a good tool but people rely too much on these social media channels only.  It's definitely useful to know what's going on day in day out but it can skew you the wrong way too.  I've had situations where I was planning on buying a coin but saw the toxic community on a particular outlet and never bought in.  Huge opportunity loss once that coin pumped.
social media channels are indispensable for crypto projects. They are essential tools for building a brand, fostering a community, and staying connected with the ever-evolving cryptocurrency ecosystem. However, it's crucial for crypto projects to approach social media with authenticity, transparency, and a commitment to providing value to their audience, rather than simply using it as a promotional platform.
Social media posts are no longer limited to pet videos and birthday greetings. Its a means for crypto initiatives to stay in touch with their group, monitor the market, and most importantly, connect with potential investors and collaborators. How about authenticity? The gold standard. Anyone can shout from the digital rooftops, but actual connections, real-time feedback loops, and honest reporting distinguish the good ones. This phrase should be adopted by many crypto projects. We should fight for actual relationships, not ads.
