I feel this is something which can be risky but at the sametime if this goes well as per their promise then that risk would be worth it. Nowadays it's getting more and more difficult to predict or suggest on new coins because of all the scam and shitty projects we have been part of, I personally have decided to stay away from coins before they are listed and would suggest the same for everyone.
Nothing is safe in this world but all has their own set of risks and as they say, no risk no reward, so yeah.
I actually think that predicting have become easier the longer it gets. I guess this is because of our past observations on how a crypto performs and most of the time history is only repeating itself.

If we think a crypto has a potential to be a scam, we can skip it or advice only for someone else to hold it for the short term. When it comes to the coin here in our subject, it is seems that many users above are positive about it. Hmm... maybe the coin is truly great? And they even gave it a good starting price by the time it gets listed on the exchanges.

ETH is responsible for Manchester United's poor performance this season in all competitions. The choice of players he signed for Manchester United in the summer couldn't help Manchester United even have hope of playing in next season's Europa League. ETH allowed David de Gea to go for fear, and he replaced David de Gea with Onana, who single-handedly knocked out Manchester United from the UEFA Champions League competition with his mistakes, saying that Ronaldo was the problem for Manchester United, but when Ronaldo left, ETH would not bring a positive change to Manchester United. ETH does more talking and is less productive. ETH doesn't deserve to remain as Manchester United's head coach; he should be sacked at the end of the Premier League.
Here we can't blame Eric Ten Hag about this all here at the Manchester United because things were never been ideal with we are having all available best players, but their performance is never been ideal even we are having few good achievements under this coach but still no one is happy in his first season we have his team into Champions League with winning EFL Cup and now having spot into the FA Cup final but still their instability is having big question mark on team and coach which is miserable even he is talking again, and again he is doing ok, and they are having good future but having humiliating defeat at the Crystal Palace and strategy of the coach exposing all which is going to happen to them so how this all will be settled it is really frustrating for the fans and management but no one having anything positive about this all as well.

I believe you will earn a decision if you have a real determination and dedication to study it. And I can agree that 2 years of study trading it can be considered that after this time it is for sure that you can get a profit somehow trading.

It is impossible for you to get a profit. Because it is very important that you have a passion in this field, because if you do not have it it is for sure that the study you do here will be ignored.
Passion or interest is necessary because you can't become a trader by forcing yourself only because you have seen on social media or heard from people that trading is profitable. You need to know and understand that trading is profitable only for those who are in it because they know what they are doing. You can't jump from another field directly into trading without any interest or knowledge in general about trading and the assets you are going to trade and expect to get a lot of success.

To become successful, one needs to like the market first, and then they will need to have an interest in trading which will make them enable to learn it quickly without having to spend a lot of time on it without seeing any results. So you are right, passion is one of the basic requirements.

I also looked at the chart before I replied. What I think is that Steemit was a hot project at some point. There was a time it was trending and people went there to make money as content creators, etc. But let’s look around, there’s so many altcoin today and like you mention memecoins, people’s attention are drawn away from Steemit and Elon now pays people on 𝕏 so people might as well just be on 𝕏 the whole day than on Steemit. Unless they have/add some unique, it’s likely not going any where, I think.
Yes I remember those times too. I think it was a long time ago already but that's great if up until now, STEEM coin is still performing well. Congrats to those who believe and hold on to this project. They deserve the benefits that they are getting.

STEEM might still offer something out of the box, other than content creators being paid because that is not new even before but it only became stronger in this era we have now. I guess it's because more people now are hanging out online. They can also think of things to add on their next update to gain the attention of people again. That should make them stand out compared to other altcoins and meme coins.
45  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is going to happen with Bitcoin now? on: May 06, 2024, 06:05:24 PM
I have seen that after this Bitcoin halving, the price of Bitcoin has decreased a lot. As far as I know that after every halving the price of bitcoin increases exponentially and it increases about 3 to 4 times, but this time I saw that the price of bitcoin has decreased a lot after halving, but I have seen in several places that they say the price of bitcoin is halving. After that it will decrease a bit and then it will increase rapidly. As such, after checking the market today, I saw that After the fall in the price of Bitcoin, the price is slowly increasing again. Bitcoin price was below 57K three days ago and today Bitcoin price is $63,585.10. Does that mean we will see a Bitcoin bull market now? Or will it decrease again? What is your view on Bitcoin?
Nothing is always the same, things change and so does the crypto market. As you know every time after the halving, the market goes up rapidly but this time nothing like that happened instead of going up the market went down and now it is slowly going up again. I don't think anyone can say that Bitcoin will go up continuously, it is also possible to go down again from 64k, 65k to 58k,57k and then go up or even 74k,75k is possible.

Everyone else including me here can only give their opinion and only make predictions no one knows exactly what can happen in the future. It is said that one should hope for the best, so everyone is optimistic that Bitcoin will go up a lot and by the end of this year, BTC will touch 100k, but this is also a prediction and speculation. Maybe nothing more than that only time will tell whether the market will actually go up or down and what direction Bitcoin's movement will take.
46  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The reason why you shouldn't force someone to invest in bitcoin. on: May 06, 2024, 06:02:23 PM
It's pretty obvious why you shouldn't force someone to invest in bitcoin and I think that it's the same for almost any kind of interaction, it would also make you the bad person in the conversation because you'd get some kind of manipulative vibes and people really don't like it when you dictate what they should be doing since it's totally unhinge and stupid. Also, forcing someone to invest in bitcoin is kind of like using the same polarity of magnets, the more you try to force them then the more likely it is to go away so be careful how you do the convincing because there's a thin line between forcing and introducing. You need to make sure that you're not also that obsessed about them investing, that's creepy.
A question has been recurring in my mind, can anyone be forced to do anything, especially a well-educated, knowledgeable person, who understands everything, can think and understand? We can only tell people to do something, we can never force someone to do something, I believe.
And now there is an era where people don't believe what they hear, believe what is shown to be true, so it is better to buy Bitcoin than to force someone to buy Bitcoin. Buy, profit from it, and show people your profit history if you want someone else to invest in Bitcoin and get profit instead of convincing him with nuts he will never believe until he sees with his own eyes.

I have seen people readily willing to do what they see as their benefit. In today's age, every other person who wants to develop understands the usefulness and importance of Bitcoin, so it has become easier to convince people.

Finally, Liverpool won again after they couldn't win in the last 2 matches. On the other hand, Tottenham lost 4 of the 4 matches they played, clearly it was a blow for them because they had to lose 12 points. Liverpool were able to perform well again and their front line worked well so they were able to score 4 goals in this match. Meanwhile, Tottenham, who tried to respond, could only score 2 goals and that was not enough to allow them to at least hold Liverpool to a draw.

Tottenham experienced a setback when they had to get important points, fortunately they were quite far from the teams below them, so that with 4 consecutive defeats they were able to stay in 5th place in the standings. Tottenham can't just be like this all the time, because they are actually a good team but they can't improve and are just stuck in their performance. If they can be even a little better, they are a real threat in the Premier League.
Miserable Liverpool which was once strongest candidate for the title now having lived at third spot due to last few games which give them shocking results and now after poor weeks they have good win at home against another struggling top club Tottenham which is now having four matches losing streak which is also miserable for them, but now things are completely well settled for them Liverpool in this game done good job and from start they were at the top and not allowed Tottenham to have aggressive approach.

Liverpool attack was doing good work from the start, and they took lead through Mohammad Salah and just before end of the first half we have another goal from the Robertson in second half we have good fight back from the Tottenham, but this was too late with at the end we are having good approach from them which allow them to score two goals but still this was a bad lost for them at the Anfield.

     First, I agree with your statement that there is no investment without risk. Because all aspects of investment are just related to money, there is really a risk. So it is said that if we were investors, we should also be risk-takers.

     So we also need to be wise investors in choosing an opportunity that can provide profit to our capital in a short period of time, especially if we are in the crypto space like this.
There is a need to know in our fields of cryptocurrency business.
Investment can be many things and not only limited to putting money in some assets. Risks aren't only related on money either but there must be some that are free from risks. It does not mean that we can now care less but it's always better that we will try our best on each and everything that we do so that we can obtain things in a decent amount of time. You can't get involved on a thing if you don't know it but knowing further is also needed if you want to be successful in it. Investing in cryptocurrency needs money and I'm sure all of us care for our money because earning them is not easy, so we should take things here more seriously.
49  Economy / Economics / Re: We need higher wages off course but goverment need to do one thing on: May 05, 2024, 06:48:03 PM
If you want the regulate everything by the government, then it's not going to be easy as this could mean that you have to give up your freedom, hence you will be under a authoritarian government. And if you are living in a country that you can go and free, then I think you should be thankful already that you are earning money for a job and not procrastinate.

Just to live in authoritarian country for a year, everything is regulated for you, food are subsidize and see how it goes. I don't understand why there are people who blame everything on their government though.
I think he is talking about those merchants/business owners who are over pricing their products and he wants the government to regulate them so that their prices will get normalized. It is already happening to some and I think those who are restricted here are only them and not the customers, which is a good thing. I'm with the OP because some of them are sometimes abusive already.

There are still types of regulations which are seem to be bad already, like for example here in cryptos because they are slowly removing the decentralized feature of it. Another bad thing is that, crypto users are now being charged by a tax.
50  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: May 04, 2024, 04:16:42 PM
Maybe Ronaldo will get retired even before Messi because it seems in Argentina they count on Messi and they want to see this player play for their team in the 2026 World Cup. Because we saw in the past months Scaloni had some problems with Messi and it was a little bit weird but because of this problem they had, Scaloni was even about to start working with Argentina, he was about to leave just because of one player.
I think Messi won't have a good performance anymore in the 2026 World Cup and we can't expect to see too much from him but in the Qatar World Cup people in Argentina saw their superstar player help their team too much and now they expect to see the same performance from him in 2026.
There is no doubt now things are going pretty hard for the Cristiano Ronaldo with most chance he will be retired before world cup 2026, or maybe he will be part of the team but not as player which could be also good for them because currently he is almost 39, and he could be over 41 as we will go for the next world cup which is important for their team even his presence could be beneficial, but they need to be had youngsters with Messi is going to be important part of the team because he is doing good, and he had good time with even he can play few more years which could be good for him and his team which is going to be team to watch in next world cup with things are still clearly favourable for them to have another cup before his retirement.
51  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: TRADERS are not UNEMPLOYED on: May 04, 2024, 11:05:05 AM
A trader is not unemployed; they just work hard for it to be enjoyed and used as an income. I am a trader and wanted to be financially stable without any side income to support my finances.
They can say unemployed maybe because they see traders are only at the comfort of their own homes and always staring at the screens of their devices but they don't realize that many traders are earning more than what can they get for a day and yes, it won't be possible if without a hard work. Trader or not, all wants to be like that or to be financially stable because that can give us a somehow comfortable life and a peace of mind.

To have a side income can allow us to earn more money but this can only be optional for some like you, if you think it's a bit time-consuming already and you think you are earning enough in your trading activities.
52  Economy / Economics / Re: Personal Financial Goals vs Government expectations! on: May 04, 2024, 05:41:23 AM
We can't really save a lot if our extra income just goes to pay taxes but we can't do anything because that's what is stated in the law, sometimes it's just unfair because we know where the tax we pay goes especially when it's corrupt the government officials sitting, Sad but that's the truth. Imagine, for everything we purchase, there is a tax on it, the kind that you work overtime to earn extra money and save, but what you earned in overtime, will just be deducted from you because of the tax.
Working overtime and earning extra is still better because if not, your regular salary will be the one who will get deducted. You can go home with a lesser amount of money and your family will be sad this time.

We are able to see the tax that we pay, I mean if we look around us like for example the concrete street that we are walking/crossing is already an example of tax expenses but if it's already implemented before and there are no new implementations yet from the newly elected government official, then that might be the time to suspect them of corruption. I think we still can do something and that is by reporting them to the other officials or organizations.
53  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 03, 2024, 03:01:23 PM
Chelsea will always dominate Tottenham Hotspur without any significant trace. There's no way Tottenham Hotspur would have thrashed Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. It was an impossible mission for spurs and Ange Postecoglou have spent another midweek without accumulating three winning points. On the other hand, Chelsea have good players that have been well trained to absorbed presure, more importantly Cole Palmer was essential for the progress and played a major role in Chelsea victory.
Tottenham were only able to dominate the match but they did not have the opportunity to score a goal, on the other hand Chelsea managed to take advantage of the opportunity and were able to score two goals. Defeat against Chelsea is also very detrimental because the opportunity to catch Aston Villa is now increasingly remote.
Now Tottenham will be increasingly under pressure where they will be chased by Manchester United if they fail to win the next match. Only six points away from Manchester United and Tottenham must be really consistent in the remaining matches if they want to qualify for the European league.
After having amazing start of the season things are going terrible for the Tottenham now their chances for the top four almost ended and their performance in this match was also not good which is shocking for their fans they are on three matches losing streak next game is against Liverpool which will be played at Anfield so most chances we will have fourth defeat for them which could be more destructive and create problems for them.

In this game we have good performance from the Chelsea which is now picking momentum and heading for the good end of the season after having many bad weeks and terrible results but still we need improvement which will allow them to have confidential start in next season and having better chance of keeping things for the top spots in league table.
54  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The Illusion of Trading Success on: May 03, 2024, 08:49:24 AM
Many are teachers only few are traders. They make their money from selling trading courses, teaching trading classes, creating trading contents for YouTube and other social media. They have their own trading podcasts and collaborate with people like them to talk about trading yet, they have never been successful at trading.
Successful traders are careful about whom to tell and share their stories with, and they seldom show up in public saying they are good traders as they prefer to remain anonymous despite their great achievements. And yes, those illusionists and fake traders have big mouths talking here and there, yet they achieve nothing aside from popularity. That is why I don't admire people who keep proud of themselves because I know that trading is not an easy game but these influencers saying the opposite about it.
Some people say that not all the things and success stories we hear on social media are true, most of them are scripted.
Whether scripted or not, they are exaggerated for sure because any person who shares a success story over the internet would barely let their audience know about their failures which is a flaw in itself. Successful people don't need to hide their failures because they have overcome the failures which is how they got successful. Your success is fake if you are afraid to share your failures, it means you are faking the success and making a fool out of the people you are sharing it with.

As you said, successful people barely need to announce it to the public, they don't need to do that because they know they aren't going to get any benefit out of that. Showing off is never what successful people like to do but it's those who are fake who would show off while using fake stories and stuff.
55  Economy / Speculation / Re: Next movement of Bitcoin. Let's share everything you can about Bitcoin. on: May 02, 2024, 08:35:10 PM
Hello everyone,
I am a crypto investor and have invested much in meme coins and other altcoins. Now I am in minus; you know it is pressuring my head. Because I am a beginner investor, I need to know the next movements of Bitcoin. It will help me and other noobies who have invested in crypto.
It would help if you had thought about Bitcoin before investing heavily in meme coins and other altcoins. I'm sure you were thinking you would earn huge returns after making investments in meme coins and shit-coins but now when you have seen your investments losing value to a large extent, you are worried and you are now seeing the significance of Bitcoin and understand that it is Bitcoin that might help you recover from your losses.

This is what we keep telling newbies, we keep asking everyone to be careful when making investments, especially when it comes to meme coins and shit-coins because they might show you big dreams but those dreams don't always come true and it is only a few lucky that manage to have their dreams come true.
56  Economy / Economics / Re: Getting an MBA before starting a company or directly starting a company? on: May 02, 2024, 11:50:53 AM
It is generally better for you to know as much as possible before opening a company. Getting an MBA will definitely help you because you will learn various business concepts and techniques. The only advantage that there is with going straight into a company is that you will save yourself the stress and time and just go right into practice. But my advice is that one should be fully equipped so they can perform at maximum productivity.
Education and experience are two different things. It is important to have experience as well as education to start your own company. An MBA degree alone will not be enough to start a company and run it successfully. I have seen many degree holders when they go for jobs in big companies, they are asked about their experience, and their salary is decided based on their experience. This can be obtained just as a Legendary and a Newbie on this forum cannot have equal knowledge.

Similarly, an experienced businessman and a degree holder student cannot be equal. When we do something practically, we learn the ways to achieve success and the means to avoid failures. Therefore, I think that if you intend to open your own company in the future, you should do internships with big companies along with your education so that you can learn the skills of doing business along with your education. This means that as your education is completed, you will also gain experience.
57  Economy / Speculation / Re: You have a better chance with Bitcoin now than the next minute! on: May 01, 2024, 07:49:10 PM
Not only history proves it but I think the whole world has heard what Bitcoin is. Indeed, this price is quite expensive for some people, but not for me, what you said earlier, by looking at Bitcoin's initial track record, of course we all automatically think that the price in the next 10 years will be much more expensive than now. This asset is very rare and much contested in the world. This is the importance of the dca technique that we use, to fill our pockets with bitcoin, apart from that we also need extra patience to take the desired profit.

The sad thing about this is that people have heard about bitcoin, they know it has given great profits, they also know that bitcoin will most likely give great profits to anyone willing to hold their coins for such a long period of time, and yet they will refuse to invest in bitcoin.

Simply put, despite having the same knowledge that we have, they are not willing to take the risk, and once those 10 years were to pass and our predictions became true, they will lament not investing in bitcoin when they had the chance, but if you were to ask them if they will invest in bitcoin on the near future, they will still refuse to do it, with the excuse that it is too expensive.
I won't feel sad about it, rather I will feel annoyed. Not sure if they are lazy, dumb, or what.. but they deserved what is happening at them. There is no one to be blamed here for the hardships that they experienced about their life but only their selves. Even though they heard and know BTC too, I won't say that we have the same knowledge as them because if they do, then they will also invest in BTC. The word ' knowledge ' is too vast you know.

I think there are still people who are like that which are annoyed already about their ignorance and they say to themselves that they will not repeat the same mistakes again. This is also the reason on why DCA buying method was born.
58  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Shocking Flash Mob in Italy - 368K Euro of scratch cards wasted by gambler on: May 01, 2024, 07:22:53 PM
I can assume that this gambling addict had enough money to keep buying all those scratch cards.
Will this initiative help in fighting gambling addiction? I don't think so. Most hardcore gambling addicts wouldn't care about such initiatives.
Most gambling addicts have the "I will make a huge win and this will compensate all my loses!"" mentality, which is kinda delusional.
I agree that all those "winning is easy" gambling advertisements are misleading as f*ck. In my country, the government owned national lottery is being advertised on TV with the same "wining is easy" ads, which is totally annoying. Sports betting TV ads are also allowed, but I think that this will change soon and there will be a ban for gambling ads on TV/radio.
Well, it won't be possible for him to have it all if he doesn't have enough money, though it does not mean that it was all his personal money is the one that he used to buy all those scratch cards. Maybe some came from his sibs, family, friends, etc.. and worse is he stole the others? (You know addicts).

It's also possible that most scratch cards are only collected by him. I mean literally, like when he sees a scratch card in the gambling shop, he will pick it up. Some people are like this, especially if they have an interest on the same field.

The initiative may not help those hardcore gamblers but it can help those who are still going on that path. Whether you are an experienced gambler or not, it's already too good to be true hearing those "winning is easy" tag line and yeah it's annoying as fck. It's also sad that we can mostly see a change when the damage is already dealt but again, that is better than nothing.
59  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are more people getting excited about memecoins? on: April 30, 2024, 09:06:05 PM
Well since there is so many meme coins many new investors think they can earn big profits fast. There is stories we read for people to make some millions of dollars in only a short time trading the meme coins.
But the thing we do have to remember about them is important. It is a token to have for fun and for hopes we can earn big gains from them.
There is not a real use case they do serve. I do not think it is a trend but if I want big profits do not invest it all in meme coins.
You must have heard that to gain something one has to lose something, only this thought makes a person take sustenance. I know that investment in altcoins is very risky but I would say it is a good choice to invest in altcoins because many good altcoins can give you a lot of profit in a short time.

Now it depends on our own knowledge of which coin we choose and when and how much to trade because without understanding the market one cannot profit from any coin whether it is Bitcoin or any alternative coin so the first thing is to gain complete knowledge.

Once the market is mastered, the chances of loss are very less be it Bitcoin or any other coin.
60  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum will still be my choice this year. on: April 30, 2024, 07:26:10 PM
Making Ethereum your choice is not a bad idea but hope your ready and willing to accept whatever maybe the outcome, we know they have a very strong team but that doesn't mean you should trust them because anything can happen, I know you have done your analysis but sometimes our analysis can be wrong I mean it may be far from what the team is planning. Like I said in my previous post investing in big coins is always a long term investment unless there is a change in the coin behavior.
It is true that our judgement and analysis may become wrong. But come on, this is Ethereum and it's the 2nd rank crypto in the market.
I know that there have been a lot of top altcoins that have been gone out of the rank but with Ethereum, I don't see that we'd see it close from being removed at that rank. Besides, it's his choice as well and it's not a bad choice to be honest.
As you said Ethereum is the second in the market after Bitcoin among the most bought and trusted cryptocurrencies, no doubt, but we have also seen times when Ethereum was at $900, that's why everyone advises before investing in big coins to either adopt DCA method or analyse the market well to avoid later regrets and losses. There is no doubt that ETH is a good project, but it is also important to keep in mind that it is a long-term investment project.

I think we should invest in trading the money we dare to lose, money kept for necessity should not be invested in any coin be it Bitcoin or any other altcoin because it can lead to our loss, it becomes impossible to wait for a long time if the necessary money is invested somewhere.
