Thankfully, I know how to trade and invest, so it has always been the two approaches instead of thinking that a less risky investment. Even holding my Bitcoin when it rises and sending it to my USD account when it falls and repeating the processes again gives me more return yearly than staking.

Not sure what you mean by sending it to your USD account, care to share your precise USD platform and wallet? Cause that sounds like a really long and complicated process, losing a lot of fees.
I will add USDT to my former post, as I guess I was the one who didn't elaborate on it or added USDT to make it clear some misunderstanding. The thing is that in my Bitcoin investments, I use FX broker (there is one I use that has a BTC wallet within the member area and already has 13 years of service), Skrill (it has Bitcoin wallets too and has lasted over 2 decades) and Exchanges, in which I use USDT.

My former post might be confusing to you because the first two use USD accounts, so I easily move my Bitcoin from the account to their internal Bitcoin wallet for investment during a bullish trend and move it back to the USD account during the bearish season of the coin. This is the same thing I do with the exchanges I use too, only that theirs is in USDT.

...Another thing is to look for a trusted platform to stake your coins or better not stake at all since the risk is a bit high than the reward.

Yes, everyone should remember this before sending their coins, since the risk of losing them is very high. I'll give you an example today: the Multichain team was arrested by the Chinese police, seizing assets worth $1.5 billion. I doubt that this cryptocurrency will be returned to its rightful owners. In addition, the team stole $2.5 million worth of cryptocurrency, sending it to the Gate exchange. Obviously, someone will never see their money again.
This is why im not really that confident on staking up my coins, not only just earning that small APY but the risks involved or something we do speak about ratio is never been worth and this is why its better that i

dont not earn more coins as long im much assure that my coins are totally safe in my own wallet which i do possess the keys.Usually people would be staking to  earn more which it isnt really that bad
specially if you do really believe on a project would be lasting that long or does have potential but those validators are really just having the potential on becoming shit and mess up everything.
In result? You would really be ending up on waiting for some investigation result or whatever cases would really be needing to be solved out first before you could
really able to held your funds once again.If you could bare up with the risks then its your choice.
One should think of the risk in staking, and if they must stake at all, a very good project that has long-term success prospects are to be prioritised. Left to me, I can't, and such projects with the earlier stated qualities are not much and the few ones who qualify do not offer a high APY, so I believe staking is not for me. I would rather keep my money in the bank where I know that my offers are almost guaranteed rather than staking it and entrusting my coin in the care of some people at the high risk of losing it when something bad happens.

Thankfully, I know how to trade and invest, so it has always been the two approaches instead of thinking that a less risky investment. Even holding my Bitcoin when it rises and sending it to my USD or USDT account when it falls and repeating the processes again gives me more return yearly than staking.

I don’t know if such Bayern deserve to be a champion, but the thing is that everything depended on Dortmund, if they couldn’t beat an unmotivated opponent in the last, decisive match, then probably everything ended logically, the champion should win in
decisive match.

Exactly!
Dortmund had every chance to win this league and they blew it. This was the perfect fairy tail ending. The perfect way to make their fans happy. Leipzig handed the league to Dortmund on a platter when they won Bayern Munich. All Dortmund needed to do was win the final match in front of thousands of their fans.
Dortmund probably has the best fanbase in Europe, they had no reason not to win this match because their fans were solidly behind them. In that kind of atmosphere when everything is on the line, thy had no excuse whatsoever.

Truth Dortmund nothing winning the league today was their own fault because they had everything set and the opportunity was even there for them since the final game was in their home in front of their fans but they lost the golden opportunity with a poor performance against Mainz a very big disappointment for a team who is yet to win the league for ten seasons now. The only reason they can give for conceding two goals before coming back to equalize is lack of seriousness in the game nothing else because truthfully their fans was already rejoicing before the game which was another thing that should have motivated them to get a cool winning in their home ground but unfortunately for them they missed the golden opportunity and Bayern Munich recorded their 11th consecutive winning in a roll.
After comfortably beating their opponents last weekend to win by 4:1 to top of the league standings because Bayern Munich had already lost in their own game, many people were expecting Borussia Dortmund to end Bayern Munich's dominance in the German Bundesliga and win the title that's eluded them since 2012.
Dortmund were playing at home so it was almost certain that with the support of their home fans they're gonna beat Mainz but little did everyone know that they'll even had to fight back from two goals down to draw the game. The pain that comes with today's failure to win the Bundesliga title won't be forgotten anytime soon by Dortmund fans
The truth is that I do not feel for Dortmund despite being a supporter of the underdogs, they seem not ready to win and it blew in their face. It was Bayern that I was criticizing yesterday earlier before the matches, not knowing that Dortmund would also disappoint itself. Well, the deed is done, they have to move past it, and another lesson has been learned that they needed to prepare better when matches are at a crucial stage like that so that they could get the trophy lifted after more than a decade.

I simply don't know what is wrong with some clubs, it should have been a do-or-die affair for them as they've really tried, they now messed up with the last match.

But then again, I will always choose my wife and family over gambling, like I said sometime before on another thread.

Yes, normally, that's a wise decision to make. When you love your family, you will need to be wise in doing things that, if they find out, will make them feel hot or disappointed. I know it doesn't work for me, though. But well, I still don't dispute the fact that love is supposed to be treated with respect, loyalty, obedience, and many other things.

Just like the guy who won thousands of dollars in gambling but the dad refused to collect the money, possibly the man would have taken the money if he was not told that it came from gambling. Knowing what our family members (children, wife, dad, and mom) don't like, we should respect it.

as we have different principles in life, what we can do is respect one another especially our loved ones. so it is a matter of how you look at your life here. are you willing to follow your desires in gambling or follow what your loved ones are begging you to do?
i've read that story of the man whose dad didn't accept such winnings. if he didn't tell that it came from gambling and just show enough money, not all the winnings, will the man accept such money? i believe, he will. so it is up to you how you will handle yourself when it comes to gambling. so long you can contain yourself and not affecting your personal relationships to the people you are closed to, then do whatever you think is best for you.
I've always had one notion, "No one should make you feel less of yourself or change your own ideology," this is as long as it's not hurting you. I made that revelation because I read a lot about friends and family on the gambling section trying to make people believe in their way or let them think they can only be right following their path and ideology. I beg to disagree in a strong term, everyone should do what makes them happen, but such must be what is noticeably seen as positive to you, not negative.

As for gambling, so long as it doesn't control me and I didn't lose my money, I am good to go. Even with the way I live my life, no family or friend has the right to question me about my private life. Maybe those guys are still kids.

Have you heard of Superpicks on DSTV? where you can make predictions and win money without staking your money?

if you have not, check it out. Superpicks.com

My question is can it still be called gambling if it is not played with money?
Although gambling without money seems strange, the gambling site has been created considering some important business aspects behind it. Gambling without money can be a promotional free service for that gambling site. First they gave some free services without money, then when the target of their website promotion was met, they promoted the site in exchange of money. One of the main goals of a successful business is first they promote their website well and then they fulfill their target through users. Maybe with free service this can be their main business principle.
It seems strange to people who are used to gambling with money but not to them because they might want to avoid making a habit of gambling with money. But if they want to feel the experience or pleasure of playing gambling in a casino, they can also do it without using money where they use a demo account.

But not many casinos offer promotions in the form of playing for free without money except in certain events to attract lots of gamblers to participate.

But it seems that betting doesn't use money but later you can get money, that's something new because they bet for free but can get prizes. And it is a good promotion for gamblers, especially those who want to try their knowledge to earn money.
Emphatically, it's no more gambling when money or material exchange is not involved as this could only amount to just having fun just like you and your friend/family playing cards for no obligation attachment for and against the winner and loser respectively. I just checked the website and I could realize that they are doing this for promotional purposes, they might lure you to know their sites before all these freebies would stop completely.

It's good though but I've not fully browsed the website, but I suspect that there are other aspects of it that you gamble normally and another part that you get the freebies so that you can know the site for testing and might be able to win some light rewards. It's all marketing gimmicks.
3848  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is mass adoption or/and regulation more likely to reduce volatility? on: May 27, 2023, 11:25:11 AM
As we know bitcoin is one of the most trusted cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin is not just one of the most trusted cryptocurrencies, it's as a matter of fact the most trusted cryptocurrency and might hold that title forever.

There have also been discussions about regulating Bitcoin from various sources worldwide. On the other hand, volatility is one of the most prominent features of Bitcoin.
If more people adopt Bitcoin (e.g., 200 million people) and the government succeeds in regulating Bitcoin to some extent, would it reduce its volatility?
Regulation is not an issue the way people think of it, it will rather help in accountability as many might do anything with their coin outside the radar, and it could be for evil deeds. That said, regulation can only directly affect the inflow and outflow of Bitcoin, and for this, it doesn't have a direct link with trading, investment and liquidity. Still, some might not like the regulation and leave, but I can assure you that more would like the regulation and adopts it even more.

However, these statistics can't be predetermined, yet, one thing that is sure is that Bitcoin would always attract more liquidity as time goes on, and that is good for it's economy. And if liquidity is what you are mistaken for volatility, be sure that volatility is merely the magnitude of the market reaction, and adoption might not have a direct link here but how liquidity is being pumped and dumped.

Bayern Munich surprisingly isn't at the top of the table by this time of the season, but it doesn't even in anyway perturb Dortmund players. Jude Bellingham might leave Dortmund in the summer and winning the title would be the grandest farewell gift for the young lad
Bayern was making a mistake in the previous match. That was also making the position of bayern to go down below dortmund. It will be so good for jude to get a trophy with bayern before he will be leaving from the club in summer.
I hope that if dortmund will be passing mainz easily without any problem. The hyped match in bundesliga was the last match by bayern and dortmund.

Bayern Munich's performance is completely erratic. Munich have lost two of their last five matches. The team lost badly against Leipzig. Dortmund, on the other hand, have won four and drawn one of their last five matches. Dortmund are in good form. And so the Mainz team is not a difficult opponent for Dortmund. On the other hand, Bayern Munich will play their last match against Koln. As erratic as Bayern Munich's performances have been, there is no guarantee that Munich will win against Koln. Expect Dortmund to win the match and break Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga.
Bayern Munich will be able to win Koln and Dortmund will be able to win Mainz, you have to bet on these two outcomes, what I don't knownis what the odds set by bookmakers look like. Both Koln and Mainz are somewhere in the middle of the table, this means that they are not fighting for European competition spot and as well they are not fighting for relegation, so they have no reason to be very resilience in that match. So, the energy will be with Bayern Munich and Dortmund.
Bravo!!! If Bayern Munich is now able to beat Koln, it's to what end??? It's totally nonsense what they did this season and at the last minute, they were supposed to narrowly cling to the cup they fumbled and allowed RB Leipzig to win them cheaply in their home, how disappointing is that? Whenever I hear Bayern Munish now my countenance would just change. I don't know why, maybe I take it personally this time. Well, another season is there for them and no matter what, they would qualify for the Champions League.

But a lot has to be done, they can't continue this way, the club seems powerless in the face of prepared oppositions. Maybe they need two adjustment at the back, two in the middle and one in the front to boost their activities on the pitch again.

I meaan if you really want free, then faucets like freebitco.in seems like a good place to start. It's a well-known faucet since ages (It's also where I first started with Bitcoin). Other faucets may also exist but if the amount they presume to give is too big to be realistic, or is a "doubling" mechanic (you deposit some amount, you get double), then yea just stay away from them. What you linked was pretty much an article about Bitcoin itself (from what I skimmed), and not really bitcoin bonuses or something similar. Well just know the only legitimate way to get Bitcoin(that I know of, there may be more) is through mining or trading.
I suspect the whole episode as it's a link within a link if you noticed, while the subsequent link doesn't have a verifiable URL until you click it. This is why I stopped there, and good luck to the OP if it's either a smart way to sell something or being innocent about the whole thing as I couldn't risk clicking further. But generally, it's good to always read the terms and conditions of the bonuses you want to accept, while some are not removable without some extra gigs/tasks to do, some would be a trap or scam, so one should be very careful.

And personally, anything bonus is often ill to me, I prefer not to go for them as I have never seen a bonus that doesn't have some underlay issue that would be a headache later. It's only the withdrawable bonuses that are exempt here.

Fantastic win from Manchester united against Chelsea with 4 goals to one, the red devils clearly dominated the match from the beggening without letting any chance for Chelsea, with this results man united recover the 3rd place and also this win will surely be a big motivation for the cup final against man city
Not too surprised because Chelsea is in the worst performance, unfortunately Chelsea have to fight strong teams at the end of this season who forced them to continue to conceded including in the next fight against Newcastle. All teams in the Premier League have one game remaining where the match was not very important and did not have an impact on their position in the standings in other words we can consider this season's competition to be over.
Chelsea fans probably don't expect Chelsea to win away matches against Manchester United. But of course, a better performance was expected from Chelsea. But due to Chelsea's bad defense, 4 goals have to be conceded in this match. While the attacking players can make some good attacks, poor defense often puts them behind from the start of the match. If Chelsea's defense doesn't improve, they won't even be in the top 10 of the points table next season. This season too, Chelsea are in 12th position in the table.
For Chelsea fans to have been discouraged even before the match shows that a lot is wrong, and If Chelsea continues like this, relegation is fast knocking on their door. I hope they change for the better next season as it's clear that they can't sustain anything good this way. Everything choked Chelsea yesterday to the point that I asked myself if they were still in the field at a point.
It's now obvious that the coach is not the major problem of Chelsea, Frank Lampard only came there to disgrace himself. I said the same thing when people claimed Graham Potter was the issue, just as they said that Thomas Tuchel was the issue before him. It keeps on going like that, and even now they are planning to appoint Mauricio Pochettino. This is a good choice but if the root issue is not solidly tackled, the club would only make a mess out of him.

I would say maybe the Chelsea coach should be given complete freedom to build his team. He will form the team with players according to his choice. Or Chelsea management should change the coach again.
No one will say that Chelsea's squad is weak. They have a lot of talented players in their squad. However, Chelsea's performance is very poor due to the weak bonding between the players. And so the Chelsea management has to prepare a big fund, and form the team with the players according to the coach's choice.
I support that view, Chelsea has good players, yet they are not delivering. What I see as the issue with them is not about the coach, although they need a better-experienced coach than Lampard. The former ones they had sacked could have delivered if they were given more time. At times, when the club is so faulty, they will put all the blame on the coach, fine, they are in charge, but they need time as well in most cases.

What Chelsea's managements need now is to give their coach more time and the necessary resources and many of the players in the squad must be ready to be ejected. This should be done carefully so that the lack of morale and connecting issues could be tackled from the grassroots.
3852  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 26, 2023, 03:38:58 PM
And Inter have increased the number of titles they achieved this season to two by beating Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia finale. We watched all the action in the first half honestly and the second half wasn't that attention getting. I mean Fiorentina tried their best to score the equalizer to go for extra time but they failed. Inter just tried to maintain their advantage and won by 2-1.

First Fiorentina got ahead and it made me surprised actually. But Inter's making a comeback in the same half showed how dedicated they were to win the title. Lautaro Martinez had a wonderful day by scoring both goals of his team.

Surprisingly, this season is quite successful for Inter - they already have the Coppa Italia and the Champions League final is ahead (no one will blame them even if they lose it with a big score). The fine imposed on Juventus has made a place in the top 4 for Inter guaranteed and now they have no option to "fail the season". After all, judging by the latest news, these 10 points of the fine will be impossible to return?

Yes indeed. This season must be one of the most successful seasons in the recent years for them. I agree with the Champions League topic as well because they are really about to be destroyed by Manchester City most probably. Of course there isn't any guarantee for anything there but Manchester City should be winning without big problems unless they have issues with playing their usual game against them.

When it comes to Juventus' punishment I haven't heard anything about its being final decision. Therefore maybe we might still see it being taken back later on which would make Juventus very happy. Because right now their chance for the Champions League ticket has become really low.
I also wish Inter the best of luck in their UCL final that looks impossible for them to win, nothing is impossible actually...lol. Besides, Juventus is truly guilty of the allegation meted against them, there is no way any court can absolve them of the crime, they can only challenge the number of points they were sanctioned with. The first was 15, but thankfully now, the appellant court has reduced it for them, but am afraid, they will not get lower than that anymore. This is not the time they should think of the Champions League as well, they've blown their opportunity with their overzealousness, and they should wait for another extra season.

And even if they win their last match against AC Milan, there is no way they will suddenly take 4th place and displaces AC Milan, Roma and Atalanta at once.
3853  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you still advised more buy and store? on: May 26, 2023, 09:18:20 AM
I was thinking new kind of plan to buy bitcoin every month from my salary immediately my company paids me but I still have other responsibilities to carry with family so am skeptical about it especially now that the price has no direction. If can afford storing every month in a long run I may realizes half of bitcoin unit and that's a big achievement to buy but to you is funny because you have enough of it. So advise me on what to do! Should I hold on because of the instabilities in price? Or I should buy and store? Over to you

Buy a little at a time and do not make investments in a single project, maybe 2024 could start the new bullrun, if you want to invest in new projects let pass sometime before buying, usually new project are super hyped and much more manipulated by whales and team
This is very good advice and I will always tell people to continue to buy Bitcoin but might want to DCA it so that they will not miss out when the price is cheap. This calls for careful investments and consistent speculation so that one can know the right time to maximise their profits with the investment. And like I use to say, no one who invests in Bitcoin will lose their money eventually, it might tarry at times, but laughter will end it. Also, the plan towards 2024 is a very good one, those that are sceptical to invest now might hold on till that time, and truly, a significant bull run awaits the coin.

Lastly, my advice is that one should rather save in Bitcoin instead of wasting their money in banks, and the money you save should not be touched for effective investment. It has helped me to be more prudent in my spending and it will always be a game changer to my finances in the future.

The current Manchester City team are soaring high on a different level this season, if they have been good in previous seasons they are certainly better this season and this season they have a chance at the Champions league trophy this season. Do you think they can make it this time or probably botch it in favour of Inter Milan? I really hope not.

In my opinion, Manchester City will comfortably win the championship in the tournament. I never underestimate Inter, but many teams were eliminated due to fixture disadvantage. Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, PSG were some of them. Stronger teams had to match each other and leave the tournament early. Now I don't know if Inter can stop Manchester City's excellent game. I think Manchester City would get a comfortable title in the grand final. I hope they offer us a visual feast as well.
You reasoned exactly like me and I've shared something similar to this before. At times, the match fixture could be disadvantageous, although it's not the only reason why many big clubs were defeated earlier. Regardless, this doesn't change the fact that the clubs that could measure up or defeat Man City in the UCL final have all been knocked out, and it's going to be a tough task for Inter Milan in the final. My mind is telling me that Inter Milan would try its best to do well as it's been long they won the title and they will not want Man City to use them to win their first UCL ever.

While Man City is desperate to win this time that they are faced with a team they could easily defeat, they would want to give it their best even as they are in good feats. So, these are tough views on both sides that have arguably good teams even though the Man City side is still better. This is as Inter players like Lukaku would want to make a name for themselves once again.
3856  Economy / Economics / Re: Will inflation in the world grow by 2023? on: May 26, 2023, 07:03:37 AM
Do you think it is worth relying on the opinion of economic experts?

There have not been any official statements from banks by country yet, but the dynamics show that inflation is growing along with the annual rate of banks. But now it is quite high in all countries, respectively, the rise in price and instability in the markets should be expected or a slight increase in inflation is possible, which will not affect the economy of the world?
Economic experts are not perfect, they are only speculative based on their experience and the available data at their disposal, so their speculation might be right or wrong. However, it should be noted that inflation is a global issue now and might have subsided months ago. But the recent inflation figures are now causing panic again as the curve is now shifting higher globally.

how to check if my keyboard is working

The US which is most referenced in this regard since its currency is vital to the world, is facing increased inflation and it was not a good figure last month. Experts believe that it will be rising till 2025 as you can see in the graph above, so we should get ready for it. While below image shows the last CPI figure of the US. The previous value was 0.1% and the last value was 0.1%, which speaks that inflation is still bitting.



And for your reference, inflation doesn't necessarily have to grow with the rates as I've experienced, other factors are contributing as well. It's the USD that has the blessing of inflation as the currency is a Safe-haven asset.
Does it mean that it will now stand still or will it increase at a small pace?
As it is, more time is needed to study and conclude on the next decision regarding global inflation as some countries are now recording more down curves, but the US inflation seems to be rising. The inflation between 2021-2022 was so obvious, and towards the end of 2022, inflation subsides and the curve flatted and even later pointed lower. Bt later flatted back and point slightly higher for the US, which could only mean that inflation in the US might continue to rise again as suggested by the last CPI data stated above.

Nonetheless, since the time that it did last two flattenings are not so farther from each other, it is better that we are patient and not rush to conclusions, With more monthly economic data, we will be able to ascertain where the inflation is heading.

There are no market instruments that are 100% the same, they could only be similar, and this is because of the sector differences, there is no way the economics of Forex can be 100% similar to that of Crypto because they are not the same asset class. That is why you might see some economic news that was so significant in effect with Forex but had a minimal effect on Cryptocurrency. The characteristics of the asset class also explain why Bitcoin, for example, is mostly sluggish in movement than volatile, and this could be so discouraging as it also causes me to avoid it for Forex trading many times.

Have you made a move from Forex trading to crypto trading or crypto to Forex? What happened? Can one do both at the same time?
However, I've never totally abandoned one for the other, I trade them both weekly, yet, I trade Forex more because it gives me more trading opportunities and earns easier for me when Bitcoin which is my preferred crypto would take a longer time to bless my trading account.

If you are still planning to get into Bitcoin, don't post anything about it in family group chat or on your WhatsApp status, this was my biggest mistake.
First, this is not good advice, what transpires in your family might not be what would transpire in another person's family. And as we all want more Bitcoin adoption, we should continue to propagate the information about it without minding opposition. The case of my family is opposite to yours and everyone is now adopting Bitcoin just because I let them know about it and how I manoeuvre with it in payment and investment. This is a good way to convince anyone as my own case is positive which I could show anyone at any time.

So anyone down-talking Bitcoin or what I do could immediately be shut up with my achievement on Bitcoin in just a short space of time. Also, it's not about centralization or decentralization as this only relates to privacy, not adding benefits to you per se. Anything centralized or decentralized could work or fail, just let them know you are benefiting and also disclose more that you would still benefit from it.

If after this they do not yield, then leave them, your riches over time will shame them, period!

That's why most people's choice of investment has always been Bitcoin because it has a higher possibility of not completely liquidating your assets.

Mate, I can say that there are so many centralized crypto platforms, in the past, there were few DEX Altcoins. But, If you look carefully now, out of 100% of Altcoins Lounched every month, only 5 or even 1% may have a good intention to stay quiet for a long time, but the rest may just have some shady plans, and even if you take a look at all the current Altcoins projects that got listed this year, none are completely decentralized, and with that being said, I think they can do some little mess up and they will just disappear into the air and investors' funds are gone.

With those recent routines in the altcoins project, do you think there are even altcoins out there worthy of holding for the long term? You can really get any Therefore, anyone risking to invest in altcoins should always monitor the price prior to when it may get pumped in order not to miss out. So for Bitcoin which is completely decentralized, ofcuse people will want to invest into it.

I still actually don't get your point in full, if you are opposing or supporting the above statement, because you both seems to be on the same page.

Altcoins investment is actually not safe for long term, unless you choose coins like eth, BNB, TRX, Ada, LTC which we still can't possibly see their future as well anything can actually happen and we won't know what their future can turn out to be.
Bitcoin might be the pioneer but it's so certain that it will not be the last man standing when many alts would be less valuable in the future. And I love the alts you've called out, although many more than those would continue to exist as they have good prospects and mechanisms operating their network and they will always have their times of dump and pump, while the long-term keeping might emass wealth indeed.

In everything we do, a good plan on how to diversify our portfolio will always be a top agenda if we do not want to miss out. No one actually knows tomorrow, we are only speculating, so investing in Bitcoin and adding some alts to it might not be a bad idea.
