41  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin Still Dead? on: March 11, 2024, 03:30:49 PM

Many times I've missed the opportunity of buying Bitcoin dip because of media sentiments. In 2022, when Bitcoin was $17,168.57, which would have been a good time to build a larger holding, some claimed Bitcoin was on the road to irrelevance others said it was dead. I could understand and agree with them because the value of bitcoin had peaked at USD 69,000 in November 2021 before falling to USD 17,000 as at the mid-June 2022.

After that time, the value had fluctuated around USD 20,000. And the same media claimed it was an artificially induced last gasp before the road to irrelevance. It seemed true as the FTX  bust had sent the bitcoin price to well below USD 16,000.

Bitcoin has never been dead and will never be. I think it would be better to make good research and listen to the right persons before concluding generally in a way that might affect your plans like it is now. I really don't blame some of these so called social Media or Bitcoin hateist because most of them just say rubbish to help them promote their shit coins and some investors will still fall for their nonsense.

Bitcoin has always been volatile and I've kept watch of it for a long time even before I started investing. It still was better then compared to other cryptocurrency in the market. Let's not be deceived into buying shit coins that would yield nothing in years to come. All Bitcoin investors will attest to the fact that so long you are able to hold for a very long time, you will make your profits now or in the future.

 It's still not too late mate. You can still invest now as Bitcoin hasn't even started the bull run yet. It's just warming it's legs up. We have seen how it has skyrocketed in just few weeks and we are expecting more from it before it's halving In April. I wonder what will happen after the halving. Grin Just stop doubting and start investing mate it still not too late to enjoy from the bull run.

I know right, Bitcoin has always been volatile. The point is at every dip the hateist of Bitcoin often come up with publications that will make a common admirer of Bitcoin to think otherwise. While many people can't be blamed for not having as much faith as most of you here, you should understand that there are those who invested but not as much as they should have. That's still something to encourage their courage. Maybe that's where I am. I'm curious about the blockchain technology and even the whole possibilities of Bitcoin. Not just here for the money but for the concept and the idea around Bitcoin ecosystem.

When was exactly Bitcoin is dead? Bitcoin was never dead and won't die!

Later in 2023, Forbes headline crushed the confidence of many Bitcoin enthusiasts, saying if ETFs managed by asset managers are too successful, they will completely destroy bitcoin. Other sentiments like Bitcoin has failed on the promise to be a global decentralised digital currency and is still hardly used for legitimate transfers and that the approval of an ETF doesn’t change the fact that Bitcoin is not suitable as means of payment or as an investment.
ETFs was accepted a month ago, saying those managers are success for 2 months is a big joke. They will not destroy Bitcoin, it's not their money, but the clients money. They're regulated, so it won't easy for them to file bankruptcy or exit scam because they get audited every year.

Bitcoin was never failed to be a decentralized currency, if you use Bitcoin to pay service or buy a product from marketplace, you're already use Bitcoin as a currency.

It's the news publications from various media outlets that is a major contributor to the fear in the heart of those who would have wanted to venture into investing in Bitcoin however, those calling Bitcoin dead aren't winning. Every day, new people adopt cryptocurrency and use Bitcoin in a way. It's a currency they're failing to see the potential.

Yet today, I saw the image above and it suddenly got the question into my head, Is Bitcoin still dead? We've all seen how Bitcoin has weathered through all the critics and FUD to breaking above USD 70,000 steadily since the beginning of 2024. There's all indication it's headed toward USD 100,000. What are you all thinking about these feet.

Should those who didn't buy all along dare to jump in or would you recommend going for ALTs as the rising of Bitcoin often drag along the altcoins. Let me hear your thoughts?
44  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How Are You Identifying Potential Coins for the Bull Run? on: March 04, 2024, 09:50:19 AM
Despite the market's volatility, numerous promising projects have surfaced recently. After thorough analysis, many of these projects exhibit significant potential and are already listed on top exchanges. Tokens such as $MANTA, $ALT, GPT, and $PIXEL have particularly captured my attention.

You have a good coin and potential. But honestly I'm not sure about the Manta and Pixel. I see they have a small circulating supply compared to the maximum supply. This means that if they release coins that have not been supplied into the supply circulation of course it will affect the price and will cause a correction. I identify coins that will have a bull run by looking at what narratives are being hyped at the moment. And I think currently the AI and Defi narratives are the 2 most popular and that will affect the price of coins that have a relationship with those two narratives.

There are certain token categories that I intentionally consider while stalking my bags with assets for the Bull. AI tokens, Gamefi, L2 and others. I get to follow different cex listing updates like that of Bitget which comes more frequently before some of these tokens begin to trend. I sometimes check to see tokens funded by other big exchanges like Binance or on their launchpad. Weeks back, Pixels had the crypto world’s attention and helped build some serious momentum around Ronin too. It generated more than $1 billion worth of trading in less than a single day when I checked and that's great. there are other ones like Portal that came with a level of hype I haven’t seen in the crypto gaming space in some time. The airdrop farming push is helping investors as you'll see users flood Twitter with tweets and campaigns.
45  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Most Traders are Not Profitable on: March 01, 2024, 08:53:06 PM
A lot of traders are not as profitable as they claim to be. I don't know the exact percentage but I can say and stand to be corrected that 95% of traders even the so called professionals are not profitable. How do I know this through simple deduction. 95% of these unprofitable traders make their money through other means and their unsuspecting followers don't know this. Some of the means are
- starting a YouTube channel and making money of
a) affiliate program
b) YouTube ads

- Having a paid course.
- Trading signals
- Selling trading merch
- impressions
- and others.

The true 5% of traders that are very successful and profitable do not even have a YouTube channel (only a very few exceptions). They are strictly for trading only, day in and say out.

The biggest warning signals are always that these "traders" act more like influencers than actual traders. They show off their lambo (probably leased) and their watches and other luxury items (also obviously leased). And people look at them and think they know what they are doing when in reality, they are just making money off of paid courses, signals or other things as you have mentioned in your list.

I do not think anyone can learn anything from them. Although there are also good traders, but they are hard to spot to the untrained eye.

Smile.. You've so perfectly analyzed those acclaimed traders trying to sell their trading course or signals. They're the ones acting like celebrities on YouTube.

While trading is a lucrative endeavor, those who profit from trading often don't have the time trying to beg others to buy their trading course. Hahaha. . It took me weeks of checks on Bitget elite copy trader's profile before deciding who's trades to mirror. Eventually when I decided, I didn't go for those on the top list. I went for the one with fewer trade that are followed by very few.
46  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you feel about high-profile traders making wrong calls ? on: February 27, 2024, 09:09:10 PM
Hmm, OP firstly make sure to choose the relevant section while posting any query in the form of a thread, this topic belongs to the trading section. At the same time, I don't follow the trading signals so it really doesn't matter what I think about their calls and I strongly oppose those who follow copy trading and other trading signal sources because such traders don't have a longer lifeline in the market.

Yeah anyone can be wrong but with a strategy where you've made an analysis and you were wrong there on that failure you experienced your strategy flaws and you can make it better for the next time and this option is not for those who are losing in the signals. Becasue the've not gained anything from there except losing their funds.

Hamza, rightly said, here. Knowledge is progressive and that applies to trading as well. For a trader to loss one or two trades is normal but when it's a consistent loss especially on a straight roll, it shows big and obvious flaws.
47  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which Exchange Tokens Are You Watching in the 2024 Bull Run? on: February 19, 2024, 10:22:22 AM
I think that BNB is out of competition, even despite the many problems that have arisen recently. Look, there has been very good growth over the past 4 days, which indicates that Binance remains one of the most reliable companies.

Seems it's not only BNB that's shaping growth. When I made the post few days ago, BGB price was 0.8 or so. Rn it's over $1. Exciting times for holders ahaha. Feels good to hodl rn.


These is what I've always said about Exchange tokens. The potential to rise even after a down trend is higher as long as the exchange keep developing internally. I'm sure the bull market will bring in the best in this token. Nice one here.
48  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My wealth plan in the next 3 years from today on: February 18, 2024, 06:22:38 AM
Well instead of leaving your money in fiat especially countries with devalued fiat, you better choose a coin to hodl it there and if you have chosen Tron to do that, you have your reason because most hodlers will prefer bitcoin. However, to your hodling into USDT at this time that bull run is expected will not be a good financial decision. So keep your coin where it can increase as bitcoin rushes upwards as it is expected and already happening.

I can agree with you. It is in that increase that lies our profit. If I have my way, I would not want to hold any fiat as it often depreciate instead of appreciate but leaving your fund in a good Crypto token, there's high hopes you will find in increased with a short while and even if it reduces, if you don't sell off, it value will increase again.
49  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Trajectory Of Crypto Based Payment Systems Thus Far. on: February 16, 2024, 10:48:43 AM
good news, it looks like mass adoption is starting to happen, but I doubt the main purpose of crypto as a means of everyday payment.
because this is more of an investment and people put their money there to make a profit.

You don't have to doubt, it is already what is! Numerous major corporations are now embracing Bitcoin as a valid form of payment. For example, AT&T, a prominent U.S. mobile carrier, offers customers the option to pay with cryptocurrency. Similarly, Microsoft allows users to fund their Microsoft accounts using Crypto. Even the company behind Wikipedia, the world's largest open-source encyclopedia, accepts donations in cryptocurrency. Meanwhile, looking up IVENDPAY, they're more of a payment services providers like VISA but more focused on helping businesses accept payment in cryptocurrency. I feel their token IVPAY will do well powering their ecosystem.
50  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] My first token "7ven" BRC-20 type on: February 16, 2024, 09:14:26 AM


I minted 0.01% of tokens and the others are free to mint by you. Please support me get some 7ven tokens !
You might need to explain more on how one can assist you cos I have also been bullish on BRC-20 tokens since my experience with ORDI on Bitget. My most recent was AINN which was also made available on the platform yesterday.

I also have some impressive experience with BRC-20 tokens. Recently I began thinking it's really the season of BRC-20 since all I saw seem to be performing well price wise. So I just took a look at AINN mentioned, is it still a good time to enter?
51  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Nowhere is safe part3 on: February 15, 2024, 07:45:48 PM
I found these to be an interesting read, considering the title. Like many other crypto Investors, who've used both exchanges highlighted here, I can agree that Binance is one exchange that many other exchanges look up to. I couldn't have agreed putting Bitget side by side Binance but your description of the formers as an upcoming yet doing well enough to gain investor's trust and coining it "Binance reborn" makes it more convincing. I read Bitget has been steadily growing their their User protection fund which currently stands at US$442 million and steadily going towards Binance's Secure asset fund seems like an exchange with some giant strides. However, with your submission, will you still day nowhere is Safe? Dx
52  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BTC or Love on Valentine's day. What's your pick? on: February 12, 2024, 10:15:59 PM
I have seen a couple of friends received amazing gifts from loved ones during Valentine's period but I haven't given one neither have I received because I don't really celebrate Valentine perhaps because I haven't been in love before🙄.

My friends came up with an idea to take some time off this year and travel  to carrebean inland to catch fun and perhaps, I might find Mrs right in the course of the holiday but with BTC on a bullish move, I feel taking a whole week out of trading is a crazy idea even though the rest is needed.

Is there any trading event I can leverage on while on holiday so I can catch fun and earn at the same time.
You'll need extra focus in other to trade while on holiday, but if you insist, I think several platforms like bitget are holding Valentine's trading challenge,. You may check them out.. if you're a good trade, you might win ahaha. Enjoy your holidays
NFA


well, He can opt for the spin event instead. That doesn't require too much concentration he just needs to complete some simple tasks. https://www.bitget.com/events/activities/bcbd2f9fb11f56b7a967c578483e93de?color=pinkBlue&languageType=0

By the way, I think OP isn't even ready for love yet lmao! I can't believe he still wants to participate in events despite being on vacation. Maybe to cover up expenses yeah?


I express to my partner that I value them above all else, including popular cryptocurrencies like BTC. Individuals may prioritize love and find ways to manage their finances, while others prioritize financial stability and seek fulfillment in different areas of their lives. Valentine's Day provides an opportunity to celebrate love in meaningful ways. While love can be expressed daily, dedicating a special day to it holds significance. Crypto enthusiasts can incorporate this day by setting aside time away from their devices and trading screens to spend quality moments with their significant others. Alternatively, they can take advantage of special Valentine's Spin wheel or trading events organized by the Cryptocurrency Platform you mentioned  or any other one may come across to involve their partners in the world of Web3 and Blockchain. By showing them how to participate and with the proposed special rewards, the excitement and anticipation of winning together and sharing those rewards create lasting memories.
53  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Real World Assets, AI Trust, and the Crypto revolution on: February 10, 2024, 09:21:19 PM
The tech is here yet i dont know why i hear nothing about tokenized property/real estate, or a platform to create this things. But i hope as crypto get more adoption and favorable regulation i can see more things like that soon

I realize the Web3 and Blockchain space is so broad that if you're not in a circle where conversation about the innovations in these space is constantly shared, there's no how you'd hear anything about it. Just saying that now you're aware just like I am. Property/real estate is one area I'm keenly interested in. I will explore the project more indebtly.
54  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Seeking a Partner for the Project on: February 08, 2024, 07:16:17 PM
First of all, Hello, we have a forum site similar to Bitcointalk. I am looking for a Web3 Expert or Investor where gift distributions and certain ICO sales can be carried out for the community through Metamask and other wallets can be connected.


Web3 expert vs investor are two very different positions, or you need an investor to pay the developer. How attractive is this right now, isn't the ICO stuff a thing of the past a long time ago?
btw. You can always start your ICO to raise the necessary funds, I believe that if you have a forum similar to Bitcointalk, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for you.

I think he has an idea, has made necessary steps and requires a skilled Developer to help execute his plan and he also needs investors. That's my understanding of the OP's post. More experienced minds can offer suggests and critics about the project. If the OP means well, which I think he does, that's why he is bring his plans public, he can adopt some of the Suggestions offered here and adjust based on the critics. Well, that's how I think a topic as these should be tackled. I wish the OP the best with his project.
55  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best Gaming Tokens to Hold for the Bull Run on: February 06, 2024, 07:41:05 PM
Gaming token is already dead. Maybe there might be some gaming project that will rise in the future but it’s a long shot if you will invest on it now while there’s a lot of investment opportunities out there.

Currently, gaming token-based projects are no longer popular. Because of that, I'm honestly surprised by some of the gaming projects that have emerged and talk about the future. I mean there are a lot of gaming tokens that only last a few months so it's not worth investing in and holding onto.

Truly, gaming tokens are resurfacing. I found two: DGI Games (DGI) and Dynasty Wars (DWARS) recently listed on Bitget, one of the exchange I frequently use. The prices seem good and I guess they're coming out to prepare for the bull market. As much as I follow prediction of experts, that gaming tokens will perform well during the bull market. I just have to keep a sizeable portfolio of good projects I can find. Let's see how the bull turns out.
56  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best Gaming Tokens to Hold for the Bull Run on: February 06, 2024, 08:04:52 AM
Gaming, NFTs and meme coins are something which I have stopped investing my money and time because whatever happens or how much ever it surges and no matter if it's listed in Binance but after couple of weeks it's nothing more than a dead coin but since we may have bull run next year these sort of tokens may get chance to revive and touch it's ATH but it would be too risky hence I would refrain from making any suggestion or financial advice on this because in the past my experience has been terrible with such tokens as we need a real project capable of solving problem and making our lives easier.

In those projects you mentioned, such as Gaming, NFTs and meme coins, knowing when to get in is a prerequisites to earning big with them. Early birds often enjoy the biggest catch. Either when they just launched, that you'll need patience or when they just start hitting different exchanges, that time, their vibe is still making the rounds, so we can still make reasonable amounts in profit.

Gaming token is already dead. Maybe there might be some gaming project that will rise in the future but it’s a long shot if you will invest on it now while there’s a lot of investment opportunities out there.
I found some recent ones doing well with active community. If you say price of most of them go down at a time. I can agree with that. It is the reason I see Suggestions for newly listed ones. Like Celestia, yeah, I notice gaming project that knows how to collaborate as well as sustain activities in their community, their token keep performing.
58  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Best Gaming Tokens to Hold for the Bull Run on: February 05, 2024, 02:44:01 PM
The web3 gaming sector has garnered significant interest from investors, leading to notable price surges for gaming tokens in recent times. Through my research, I have observed that gaming tokens have generally outperformed other sectors in the crypto market, with a remarkable 800% increase in value over the past months. Industry experts are predicting that gaming will play a crucial role in the upcoming bull run, as numerous projects are either prepared for launch or nearing completion.

The enthusiasm surrounding Web 3 gaming shows no signs of waning. Consequently, investors are beginning to accumulate tokens tied to what is considered the "hottest narrative." For instance, Celestia (TIA), which was launched earlier, has experienced a rise of over 500% since its release. This trend can also be observed with most tokens linked to gaming ecosystems. I feel those who invest early in these projects tend to reap the highest profits. I would appreciate your perspective on this matter, as well as any recommendations for gaming tokens that have recently been listed for trading. Please feel free to share your favorite selections.
59  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading on your own vs social trading and copy trading on: February 02, 2024, 02:59:22 PM
I think that by trading on my own I am just overtrading...I am looking for options to get trading ideas/trading signals etc to analyze those ideas and select only the best ones.
What options does one have to view trading ideas/signals from other professional traders?
Trading on your own is the best but you can try signals and see how they only care about their pockets. That would be when you will realized that there is nothing better than to have the knowledge and experience about how to trade on your own. But it is important for you not to use more than the amount of money that you can not afford to lose to trade.

Since the OP already has good experience with trading. I'd recommend he tries out copy trading. Platforms like Bitget has one-click copy trade section with Millions of expert traders. His trading skills will sure be useful in analyzing which expert trader to copy their trades instead of just asking for signals. Copy trading is more profitable as you'll be copying a professional trader directly as as soon as the expert place their own trade.
60  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are Cryptocurrencies with Good utility smart investment for the long haul? on: February 01, 2024, 11:54:29 AM
I recently came across the project API3, which has gained listing on top tier Exchanges such as Bitget, Binance, and OKX. Intrigued by its potential, I delved into its use case and discovered that it utilizes decentralized APIs to enable data providers to offer their services directly on the blockchain. This piqued my interest as it signifies the increasing importance of blockchain technology, which has the capability to eliminate intermediaries, provide transparent and immutable records, enhance security, and automate settlements.

I have observed a growing number of blockchain use cases that are developing solutions to bridge the gap between off-chain data and on-chain applications with maximal security. These use cases span a variety of industries including supply chain management, healthcare records, voting systems, cross-border payments, and food safety, among others. As these developments unfold, it raises the question of whether cryptocurrencies with strong utility have the potential to be a wise long-term investment.

For long haul, utility coins are what we should look form. Bitcoin is safe but we can't expect it to go more than x3 at current price over the years to come. Memecoins are the ones giving x100 on short period but they are too risky and not as a long term investment.
Not all utility coins are the same, Ethereum though a pioneer in smart contract and dapps are now heavily lagging behind, many popular utility coins like XEM, NEM and even ADA never made a difference before being blow out by the competition. It's still a good idea to look at the prospectus of the coins and adjust depending on how the market is maturing.

You're absolutely right! If bitcoin does x3 it current prize, that'd be too huge. But it's a possibility with Crypto we shouldn't ignore. But truth is, what makes a good market price of a token isn't just about the price. Although one could be lucky to find one that is good in utility and with good price like the API3 I mentioned earlier when it got listed. This is many days after and it's still good.
