3781  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best DeFi Projcet 2021-2022 on: December 01, 2021, 09:14:22 PM
In your opinion, what is the DeFi project to keep on radar and study and which DeFi projects do you consider new gems and have you already bought them?
Pancake and Uni will stay the "best" if you ask me. There are many coins listed here by people who are not DeFi but just networks, like saying "cardano" is a defi is saying like ETH is defi, it is not, uniswap is the defi and eth is the blockchain uniswap is based on, pancake is the defi and bsc(bnb) is the network. This is why cardano, eth, sol, matic, avax all are out of this discussion if we are talking about only the defi projects.

This is why I believe that if we are strictly talking about defi projects, then uniswap and pancakeswap which has tokens called uni and cake are the two best projects. They will keep being the best projects next year as well and will probably increase a lot too.

As long as you are investing the amount that you can afford to lose then i see no problem with that because at least you can leave the funds for long time and wait for recovery and profiting .
and besides this is normal when the price increase there is a tailing of bearish as others will take their profit out and that is called correction.
Unfortunately I have seen so many people who invested money that they didn't even own in crypto. I read somewhere that some guy used all of his company's payroll to get into crypto hoping that he could make so much more, even 10-20% profit on that and cashing back would mean yearly salary for him and instead he lost it all.

I do not know how people "lose it all" in crypto, aside from leverage trading and big margins which is something you should probably not even consider when you are risking someone else's money. Dude lost his job and went to jail for doing that of course. All in all crypto is a very risky thing if you are not investing with the money you can afford to lose.
3783  Economy / Speculation / Re: will we witness year end bullrun or bull trap? on: December 01, 2021, 05:37:01 PM
I am in favor of bull run than bull trap, btc is recovering and we are only 30 days away from the year end. This sign of recovering of btc price is the sign that year end is most likely a bull run. Btc back to 57k$ and I think it will not stop  to 57k$ maybe it will go back to 60k$ above or even higher.
Yeah, by the looks of it, it seems like there is a good case this could be a good bull run and not a bull trap at all. I assume that it is going to be something very challenging for many people to realize how easy it is for bitcoin to go up. Many people expected it go down even more, a lot of people sold and waited for a bigger dip so they could buy, but the reality is that we are not going to be seeing anything like that at all.

I assume that there is a good chance we could end with another ATH by the end of the year and that means all those people who sold in order to buy more at lower levels would have to actually watch it get even higher.
3784  Economy / Speculation / Re: How do you manage Bitcoin price now on: November 30, 2021, 09:50:54 PM
This is the end of the month already. There's no $60,000 most likely. It will have to wait until December. It's coming anyway.

But I am still counting on a new ATH within December. $60,000 is one tiny goal for the last month of 2021. The year should be closed with a bang. Even if $100,000 is already out of play within the year I am still bullish for Bitcoin's last hurrah.

The amount that you convert for your bills this month could pay your one year bill in the near future. Lol.
It may not be around for right now, but I am sure it is going to happen soon. We just need to wait, hell maybe before it is midnight in some nation it could become 60k? I do not know but I hope that it will be doing a lot better very soon. Maybe not this month, but early in December? It looks quite possible for now. I do not know what to expect at this point, it looks like we could maybe reach to a position where it would be a lot better, but at the same time I am worried that it may not become something that I would be expecting it to become that easily.

Let's wait for it to unravel a bit more, if it drops then it drops and it is still fine, if it doesn't drop then we may get some bull run during December month. It is very vital to get into the new year with a great increase, it would help boost morale and keep the increase going for the next year.

For top players like Mbappe, Messi, Ronsaldo or Haaland, a sporting motive is probably just as important as money.
Somehow it seems to me that Haaland could go to either Real or Manchester City and it will all depend a lot on which club Mbappe will eventually go to.
Both players are looking for new sporting challenges and only the Spanish or English football leagues can currently give them that.
I think Ronaldo could change the club again soon. I believe he now regrets not choosing Manchester City after all.
I can't imagine both of them at the same team but the gossip around the block is that is exactly what Real is trying to do. They can afford to pay Mbappe just the salary without buying him, we all knew that but they offered 180+ million for him this summer as well which shows that they actually have the money for it as well.

So, what if they get Mbappe for just salary, and then they pay 200 million or so for Haaland as well and get him too? They still need to find better players in defense and midfield, they are not all around amazing and need some help and with spending all that money on just 2 players that would leave them with some gaps in the middle, but that would still be insane to think about. Both of them at the same team could reck havoc all around the world, put someone like Zidane again at manager role and you have yourself a possible UCL once again.
3786  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: November 30, 2021, 07:25:09 PM
I never understand why every year they have few teams in hot favourite list because these teams have very fewer chances to win title, but they are creating hype just for punters and this is their very popular strategy for many years like Manchester City, Bayern and PSG every year having spot in top 6 teams.

It is good for their business point of view but this year we are having some good teams with very good results like Ajax, Liverpool and Chelsea with outsider Real Madrid these all having very juicy odds for winning and these can do this year as well.

For PSG we all know having serious issues with many big names in team but still not doing as fans were expecting and surely this year these big three teams have very fewer chances for winning title.
I would say even with the current situation, I would put PSG at second right now. City is at first for me and PSG is at the second, with Bayern coming in at third but you could change PSG and bayern if you want to and it wouldn't be too much of a difference.

What I believe however is the fact that we could potentially have a situation where we could see something a lot more important in this case. Don't get me wrong the odds are very important as well, but we are going to see some tough matchups very early on because of so many teams being good which means we are going to have at least one team who had a good chance end up eliminated even before quarter finals. This does happen time to time but it is not very common. Which is why I believe that we should be looking out on the matchups, that is going to decide on so many things if we could let them.
3787  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are NFTs overhyped? on: November 30, 2021, 01:31:51 PM
In general they probably are overhyped at the moment. But that certainly doesn't mean they can't be hyped up more to the point of breaking some proverbial bubble. Or is this just the beginning? Thats what we speculate on and it truly is fun. But to be fair, 1-2 years from now, most NFTs will not be worth too much. However, I can see some products like NBAtopshot rarer cards being valuable say 10-25 years from now. There is value, but it is select for sure.
Yes, majority of them are seriously overhyped. But even at that we do know that there are genuine ones that are really good, and among the good ones there are still going to be the bad ones in the market as well.Making the right choice when it comes to NFTs requires you to be very selective, you shouldn’t just buy any NFT you see , some of them might not be worth anything good in future.So, anyone that is buying NFT now really have to be selective of the choice they make, or they would definitely end up being sorry for themselves.

Although at this point I still think that the market is going to be mostly profitable due to the hype, so most of the tokens you are going to be getting now are more likely to yield profit, and the profit is coming from the hype in the market. So the question is which of them is really going to stay when this hype is over?
3788  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 29, 2021, 08:04:17 PM
The Warriors are really an unstoppable force.

Steph is playing out of his mind and making everyone around him so much better than they otherwise would be.

Wiggins has found a new life to revive his #1 pick career, and Jordan Poole seems like Michael Jordan out there. They are a serious contender.
So far when Wiggins played at wolves he was seen as a player who would be either first choice or ball handler or at worst second choice, and that put a lot of pressure on him. When he came to Warriors that changed, why? Because they have Curry and that means Curry attracts all the attention from the defense and that causes Wiggins to be a bit more open and he is good enough to be a star when he is not defended too carefully.

This is the reason why he got a lot better, not because his talents suddenly became better, but because for the first time in his career he is playing with someone who is attracting defenders around him and that means Wiggins could showcase his talents a lot better.
3789  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: November 29, 2021, 07:01:22 PM
Every coach has his own characteristics, and I think Carrick is just trying to do his part. Arsenal is not an easy opponent and it is not certain that Man United can beat Arsenal. Chelsea were the favorites in last night's match, and many people predicted that Chelsea would win easily against Man United, but what happened the match had to end in a draw. So I think, Arsenal still has a chance like Man United had against Chelsea and there is even a chance that Arsenal will beat Man United.
I really assumed that United would lose by a big margin last night. After such a horrible streak of losses, and bunch of humiliation in the middle, I assumed they would get like 3-0 at least and that would be just Carrik not blamed since he is interim only. However by the looks of it, if he could also beat Arsenal next week then maybe we could see something changing? I saw them getting a new manager but I guess I was wrong?

I do not know what is going on with United anymore, I do not know who is the manager or who will be or what is going on but I know that getting a draw against Chelsea was definitely a much better result than many things they got recently.
3790  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The altcoin market has become scammer's playground on: November 29, 2021, 05:31:32 PM
The scammers are too smart to use the trend for their own benefits by creating a new project related to the trend and successfully inviting many investors to their projects. People are too greedy to make big money from many projects and most of them do not research before they invest in the project.

That makes those people get scammed and many of them leave crypto once they get a scam. It is our job to always research before we invest in any project, whether it is a new or old project, to avoid getting a scam.
Unfortunately every day we face with the reality that there are scammers who are smarter than some victims. I have seen so many silly stuff before in my life starting from the ICO period to this day we have seen so many weird things and everyone of those weird things got paid by some people.

I do not know why people fall for them but in the end they do and there is really nothing we could do to convince these people to not fall for those things neither. So in the end, we end up with a lot of people who lose money to scammers because those victims are not really very well versed in the crypto world. I hope that one day we could get rid of those scammers but even if we stop one method, they are going to end up with another method and it is not going to be that easy to stop them completely.
3791  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are the best ways to invest money? on: November 28, 2021, 09:22:34 PM
Your goal should be your realistic. One million is realistic. One billion is not. One thousand in dividends is realistic, $10,000 per month, no.
Define your time horizon. Months, years? The time will help you to stay on target and provides measurable times.
Always take risk into account. What is your risk tolerance?
I personally feel like real estate is still by far the best for me. I am not saying that it will profit you as much as crypto, but it would be a lot more long standing if you ask me. Crypto is something you could buy and sell every day, real estate "usually" doesn't get high or low that quickly and it is basically a long term deal. If I could get the small apartment place that I have been looking for 2 years then I could basically live just with that for a while.

I mean it wouldn't be enough, I would still work (albeit I would work even if I was rich) but at least it would be an INSANE start. Crypto is awesome, and I invest in crypto no matter what, but that doesn't change that I would buy that place as soon as I have the money for it. I couldn't buy any place so far only because I haven't been able to reach to that level just yet.
3792  Economy / Economics / Re: No where is actually safe on: November 28, 2021, 08:50:02 PM
But the truth remains crypto investment is more difficult compared to manual businesses
How do you mean on this precisely. Are you saying here that real life businesses are free from risk? This is not true buddy because every aspect of our endeavour is risk oriented and that is why some days you profit and other days you lose. No man has profit every day or the same amount of profit every day but the amount of profit varies. Therefore, online business too has this kind of model what you need to do is avoid scam sites, learn more and research better. Life is a risky also but taking a better risk is better.
I would say being a worker or basically not taking risk with your money is still a better and safer way for most people. We are here and we want to get rich and we want to retire early and if I could have a million dollars right now then I would risk everything for that but that is who I am and how I think. But I know a ton of people who go to work 9-5 and be the happiest person in the world.

To be perfectly honest, if you work 5 days a week, 9-5 everyday, rarely overtime, and earn enough to survive then even I would prefer that. However I know that type of job is not possible for me so I decided not to do anything about it and just focused myself to this life. What we are doing is riskier compared to salary earners, but it is also more profitable if you find it right. I can't say everyone does, there are plenty who lose money but at least it is possible to get rich this way.

BFGs can still be traded, but the team (BFG) team that holds them will slowly move them out of circulation by sending them to burner addresses (i.e. burning circulation to reduce the supply)
There are also people who do the same as well involuntarily too. It is not talked about a lot in crypto world because that data is not proven to be calculated correctly. We have no idea who did what and that is why we do not know how much is truly "gone". This applies to ALL coins and tokens as well. Just for example, bitcoin has about.. what now 18 million? And how much of it is in actual play? Daily if you ask me 3-5 million is traded between people at even the most volatile days and that is why I believe that we should not be really focusing on what the team is burning only but realizing that most of the money here will be gone in the future as well.
3794  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 27, 2021, 09:55:01 PM
Juventus and Atalanta game will be a deal breaker for Juventus once again. They have been having these kinds of games plenty times recently because they have started the league horribly. Losing ANY game would be horrible for them since they are already not doing that well. Hopefully they will do a lot better with this game and I imagine they would probably be winning again.

I believe that there is a good chance we could see Juventus recover from their horrible start. I get that there isn't much roster change but the reality is that even without a roster change they deserve to be better than what they are doing right now. I believe they could actually challenge for champions league levels for this season by the end.
3795  Economy / Speculation / Re: The arrival of new people in the world of cryptocurrency is really fun on: November 26, 2021, 10:33:03 AM
I call it a opportunity venturing rather than business since if you just trade it randomly on big or small exchange then most provably you cannot guarantee to earn passive income on it, but if you adopt the changes and create an idea which can help people and insert it with blockchain then maybe you can start to call it business since this can provably generate you an income without even trying to risk your money in certain market movements.
I would say there are business related stuff in crypto as well. I agree that if you are only trading crypto then you are not going to call it a business for simply trading it. However there are exchanges, projects, payment processors, blogs, ranking sites, and MANY online businesses around the world of crypto and we could call them crypto related businesses that people could work in.

This means all those companies also have workers, most of which work remotely and that is why crypto world offers the best chances. You are getting paid in crypto, you are working in your pyjamas at home, and you are making a good amount of money usually as well, especially if you live in a third world nation that gets paid little in regular salary. This is why I believe being a worker in this industry made my life 10x better and I am very happy about it.
3796  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread on: November 25, 2021, 06:00:27 PM
Leicester currently have no other option to qualify and they are obliged to get three points in that match, the match against legia is not an easy match for leicester, especially in the first leg they have to surrender 0-1 to legia and make their current position difficult in group, inevitably brendan rogers must be able to maximize their players after Youri Tielemans, Wesley Fofana, and James Justin suffered injuries and will certainly miss the match.
The points at that group is very close right now. For example Moscow is the leader with 7 points and tied with Napoli who has 7 points as well, whereas Legia has 6 and Leicester has 5. However Napoli and Moscow already played, which means if Leicester wins today against Legia, that will make them 8 points and at the top of the group. So within one game they would move from bottom of that group to top of that group.

I am not saying that they will win, but if you were to play any group game like it is elimination game then this should be the one. We still have one more game left after this so it will not mean that Leicester will move up, anything could happen after this game as well, but in order to leave their chances to the last game, they need to win this one.
3797  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is it the end of crypto? on: November 25, 2021, 06:59:20 AM
There comes a time where the market goes bearish due to negative news by mainstream media. It's up to you to take advantage of the situation to buy as much crypto as you can before it all goes back up again. Just because prices are going down doesn't mean it's the end of the world. People simply panic themselves selling most (if not all) of their crypto assets when they see prices going down the drain within a short amount of time. They'll be missing a huge opportunity for profit once major crypto assets reach a new All-time-high.

With crypto/Blockchain tech being improved behind the scenes, it should only be a matter of time before mainstream adoption grows at an accelerated rate. Bitcoin and other popular cryptocurrencies will only become bigger, faster, and stronger than ever. If you buy the dip now, you'll see great benefits in the future. Remember, patience is a virtue. As long as you play your cards right, you'll have nothing to worry about. Just my thoughts Grin
There is not much we can do to stop those type of news. There will always be mainstream media that gets paid by the wealthy people who will want those news to make negative news to manipulate the market and those news will be forced to do it.

Back in the day news used to mean something like "giving information at hand", there was rarely giving some sort of propaganda regarding things that was irrelevant to government, sure government propaganda was available at all times and was done long before today but not things like retail investors assets, that was left alone, today you could see it even regarding the smallest thing due to social media. Just like you said, just focus on taking advantage of the low prices and try to profit from it.
3798  Economy / Economics / Re: US could run out of cash as soon as Dec. 15, Janet Yellen warns on: November 24, 2021, 06:52:16 PM
The US is not in trouble.The US politicians are again creating some drama that nobody needs.
The US debt ceiling debate has become a normal thing,which happens in the end of every year,since the Obama administration,if I remember this correctly.
Both parties will settle some kind of agreement and the debt ceiling will be raised again.I assume that before that agreement,there will be some accusations between both democrats and republicans,so the drama seeking mainstream media can be happy,but there will be a compromise in the end.
The USA cannot go default because they have a money printing machine and US dollar is the global currency.
This has been the case for as long as I can remember. Creating a situation, a crisis and then asking for your voters to look at it so they would care about it and vote for your party is the key to success over at USA. Platon said (2000 years ago!!!!) "democracy is an education work, without education democracy would turn to oligarchy and if you continue then you will have demagogues and from demagogues you get dictators".

This is something that is still valid today and USA is not a very well educated nation, try to explain to any other nation why they should not have free healthcare with their taxes, try to explain to them why all their taxes should go to military getting new ships with airplanes on it, none of them would vote for you because those people are educated. However in USA saying things like "you can't afford free healthcare, we need to buy more guns!!!" gets you votes. Janet Yellen basically uses the same tactic to divert attention something else.

No income, property, capital gain or payroll taxes!!?   Shocked

Sounds almost too good to be true. That is one way to attract whales and deep pockets into living in your country and city. To accomplish the polar opposite of capital flight.

Of course, politicians have made promises like this for a long time now. Even greece made big promises about the future of its solar power industry while in the midst of their great debt quandary.

Its easy to say and promise these things. Whether they become a reality is something else entirely.
How does it work though? Maybe we have been told differently and maybe we can't see it but I have to say something doesn't add up. If we have no taxes at all then who pays for the stuff a government needs to provide? What about the police? What about the firefighters? I mean you could make education and healthcare private and charge people with it but libraries? Hell there are so many other things that you need to consider as well.

It just doesn't make sense to me to pay zero taxes because it would be hard to live in a society where there is ZERO taxes available. There needs to be at least a little and that would be a lot better than paying 50% taxes like in my nation, but I want the taxes to drop, not be gone.

First of all the idea of having an Interim manager till the end of the season is nonsense. Just get a permanent manager One to call the shot now. It's still early in the season... There are still honours to fight for, still things to achieve. A caretaker and interim is a waste of time. They lwil have to splash the cash and get someone in for the long term. That way they’ll have half a season to work with what is there and start building in the summer. That helped Klopp and Thomas Tuchel and it will help a new manager at Man United. Let’s hope the interim genius is given time to put his stamp on our squad. He may look gormless.
Depends on the situation really. If you are looking at a manager who you could get right now then it would be smart to get him right away, however if the manager you want to get is not available right now and you will be able to get him at the end of the season then an interim would be fine. Which one would you prefer, get another subpar manager for long term and pay a lot because you need to since its middle of the season already, and then feel upset that you didn't get the best you could? Or would it be smart to throw away another season, which would have been horrible anyway under Ole so nothing big changed, and then get someone AMAZING during summer? That seems like a better idea.
