I would say never trade with bots. You will not receive any accounting of your investment. If you use bots with information from various social media, you will lose your capital. First learn to trade well then trade by yourself. That would be the best.
You should really be at least on how bots do work rather than on making up some conclusions on which it isnt really that right on some point on which bots are that really that useful?
You would really be able to see its relevance on the time that you would really be going out or not in front of your PC. It do really just that matters on how knowledgeable you are on making use of those bots.
You could really be able to utilize its main functions and purpose on which it does bring up that huge convenience specially into a trader who arent that always in front of his PC
but of course you would really be needing to adjust accordingly if ever there are sudden market event which could changed up the trend on point.

Yes, we cant really be able to fully rely on it but its not something useless that you are trying out to elaborate on here. It is really just that there are those people who are really that
having those impressions and insights on which because of lacking knowledge it turns out that their reasoning is shit.
402  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why don't you use DEX? on: January 16, 2024, 06:31:51 PM
Because people find DEXes, when dealing with fiat at least to be less convenient, slower, and have a lack of liquidity so they don't mind giving up their identity if that means being able to buy and sell within a couple of minutes.
Definitely true and this is in fact the reality on which people wont really be minding on exposing up their identity just for the sake of convenience on where CEX is really that giving.
Even myself would really be that much prefer on using up CEX all the time, the only thing that what you should really be minding on is on how you would really be storing up your coins
on which its never been that recommended that you would really be doing such thing considering that we dont possess the keys of such wallet and this is the main risks when dealing
up with these platforms on which on the time that they would really be hacked then there's no way that you could be able to take or get those coins back.

This is the only cons that i do see when it comes to hacking incident, plus also those possible lock up when you do able to hit up or violate something on which they could easily
block you up but when it comes to overall utility and usage and convenience then i could say that CEX is best.
403  Economy / Economics / Re: How to stay poor! on: January 15, 2024, 08:59:45 PM
It is interesting what OP said in this topic, yes OP gave something different, when other people share tips so as not to continue to be in poverty, OP actually shared tips to stay poor. Different from others, but it makes us think.
For some people they see, prohibitions are orders, and when they are ordered they are reluctant to do so. Perhaps this is a good approach that is different from others. Usually for some people this is exactly what works, yes offer them to stay poor, they will definitely reject it.
To avoid poverty, we must do everything we can, including the smallest things that may seem insignificant, but those small things usually have a big impact.
Op understands the current phenomenon, sometimes sentences that are prohibited are easier to remember than sentences that must be done, that's why OP created a title like that. I think this is cool, the OP's way of making us aware to be more disciplined and consistent. It's true that motivation without action is ultimately just a hallucination.

Actually, to get out of poverty, the most important way of thinking is that we have to improve it and don't make it spoiled for something, because when our mindset is problematic, then we become its slaves. So we have to get out of our comfort zone, and that's where our mindset/brain quickly develops which ultimately allows us to get out of poverty.
Yes you are right, something that is forbidden will be easily remembered, and that is proven by the many rules that are broken for example, not just in this context, but across the board. For people who take a glance and don't delve deeper into what the OP is saying, they might protest. But if it is explored further then there is a figurative meaning here so that we think more.
Sometimes it is the comfort zone that prevents us from getting out of the poverty zone, they become afraid and in the end have pessimistic thoughts, that's what we have to fix first. Because I also think that mindset is one of the important factors to avoid poverty.
Most of things are just common sense, it is really just that people do neglect out even on the most basic principle of things and this is why they do missed out on doing on whats the right thing.
In regarding about on the points mentioned on how to make yourself poor then it is really that actually precise and there are indeed people who are really that doing such thing.

Most of the time when it comes to financial management then people do really fail on this one. Why? they are really that focusing on things which arent supposed to be
focused or put some importance. People would really be just focusing on things on which they do know that they could really be able to have without
even minding on what would happen in the future.
404  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not a means to an end, Do it for fun and don't take it as a job on: January 15, 2024, 07:50:17 PM
I am wondering why they would stress themselves up, dressing up every morning just to pretend as if they are going to work only to land in a casino, why can't they stay indoor and do their thing online? When I started my online business years ago, many people start gossiping around that I am jobless, I don't mind them and today they are the one who are jobless, the situation of the country suddenly changed and they are making too less to none.

Online jobs are better than offline jobs, and in the near future everyone will have to submit to this, the best skills that make the most money are online based, anyway.

Many people don't know anything about gambling, they just see someone who won a lot of money and they decide to give their shot too, nothing bad here though but they proceeded in a very bad way, resulting into losing all their money, seeking for knowledge first is what many people don't respect and they pay the price the hardest ways.
I think it's quite important to remember that we are talking about people who do it online too, but just as a way of making money. I know plenty of people who do that for sports betting for example, there are a lot of people who end up with betting and winning some money and they act like that's quite easy and doable but in reality it is not, it is not going to end up with something that will get better.

I hope that we can realize that not all humans are same, and some people who are addicted to gambling could fail to leave. You may end up getting some win here and there, which could make you feel like you could do that, and if they hate their job as well, then they will try to turn that betting into some sort of job.
Actually there are really those people who do able to make money with sports betting on which i could say that it is really that more probable comparing into those people who do believe that casino games are way more better. It is really just that there were people who are really that believing into things which arent supposed to believed on or simply they are really that just that too optimistic until they would really be able to bust up themselves. Actually there were really those gamblers who do able to make a living with gambling, it is really just that only a few could really be able to do such thing and most of those people who do try
did really bust up themselves just because of overdoing it or simply just dealing with those luck based games.

We do know that when it comes on sustaining then i do believe that sports betting and card games could really be having that chance comparing into those casino games.
You would be able to sustain yourself if you have developed your skills and experience and a mix of luck then you could sustain but not all
do really become successful on this one.
405  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if authorities launch a tax for owning bitcoin? on: January 15, 2024, 06:40:25 PM
The government can't tax us in any way, because they already focus taxes on our local centralized exchanges. So as long as we hold Bitcoin in private wallets, for whatever reason the government cannot touch it or even impose taxes. That's why it's called decentralization which cannot be controlled by any party. Don't misunderstand crypto taxation, because the regulations that have been established, for example my country's local centralized exchange already has a legal license to operate including taxes. Where did they take it from? You may know that when trading there is a taker and maker system where the percentage is determined, how much goes to the exchange and how much goes to the state treasury. So we no longer need to think about taxes on private property.
This is why government hate up Bitcoin or cryptocurrency as a whole on which they cant really be able to snipped out some juice via taxes into those people who do make up transactions or earning big in this market.
Even now that we've seen that ETF's been that approved but i dont see the relevance of it but rather it is really just that for more regulating transactions and been that monitored on which i cant say that it does really bring out that kind of positivity of the entire market but rather i do see that they are getting having that good hold off towards this market but we know that it wouldnt be all.
There's always that portion on which government or institutions couldnt really be able to handle on.

Example here in our country, yet they arent regulated nor being banned but they are really that suggesting on making use of local crypto platforms on which this is the only
medium on where they could really be able to get those taxes. Yes, its not really that obvious but the fees or deductions are horrendous.
406  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this the end of excitement on: January 12, 2024, 09:00:17 PM
I have been buying small amounts of bitcoin for over 10 years. While I was always knew bitcoin would grow I did hope that some events might make it jump up in price say 3 to 5 times. Events like etf approval, a harvening etc. I still remember those charts that had predicted supersonic prices by now. But now read that both the etf and harvening aew now priced in and yet the price is not even an earlier all time high.

Does that mean the excitement days are over. Has bitcoin become boring in terms of big price fluctuations☹️

Expect the unexpected as always on which there's really be no guarantee that whenever we do see these positive sentiments then it cant be sure that it would really be making out that sureness that it could pump out the price, just like on whats happening currently on which its true that despite of the ETF approval, the price didnt rocket off to the moon on which tons of people had really having that kind of disappointment because they are really that expecting something positive on which just like i have said earlier that dealing up with this unpredictable space comes up with unpredictable things along the way. We might be expecting something positive but look at on where we now which the price is really that having those slight retracement on which it is really that totally opposing on what we are expecting.

Some saying that pump might happen in the after months before the approval on which those are really just that speculations or assumptions but theres always that possibility
and this is something that people really that anticipating for it to happen. Dont make yourself that get disappointed on which we do know that price could neither
shoot up or not no matter how these fundamentals and other things that do affect or giving out that kind of vibe whether negative or positive.
It could move in a random manner.
407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: why do gamblers always ague alot? on: January 12, 2024, 08:04:58 PM
watching football at home or football viewing centres which is more convenient or preferable? Because most times if you go to viewing centre you'll discover that the agument is much and at times they make you feel uncomfortable to whatch the match. The people playing the game are comfortable and receive their payment, but people keep agueing what is meaningless and sometimes pick a fight because of agument. and this has made many to stop watching football in viewing centres despite the fun in viewing centre compead to home view.

Watching match at home or viewing centre which is more convenient or preferable?

So what is your experience on Gambling viewing centre and what have you learn and how were you able to handle such situation?


I do have some experience on going into these venue on which i could say that it is really that something i do prefer rather than on watching in the convenience of my own home on which the
ambiance is really that different. Somewhat so far with my experience i havent been able to encounter those kind of argumentations and fights on which i hopefully would not be able to encounter one in the future.
The thing i do like when you are into these places is that you do really feel out that people are really that making real reactions or cheers on which it do really add up when you do hear out
something from the crowd on every score or in every lead which a team/player could be able to make.

Its not that they are really that making too much arguments on which it is really just that normal that they would really be making out those kind of reactions on which this is something
that do really give out that kind of vibe on which i do love that noise rather than on watching in front of my pc which i dont feel out the thrill but sometimes
there are really indeed moments which i do really like on watching alone.
408  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does this Qualifies you to give non-professional or semi-professional financial on: January 11, 2024, 09:34:59 PM
My question is quite simple and straightforward. If you have been holding and investing in Bitcoin for the past 15 years you have experienced several bull and bear markets. You witnessed the Bitcoin halving events in 2012, 2016, and 2020, as well as the unfortunate incident of Mt. Gox declaring bankruptcy in 2014 after losing approximately 850,000 bitcoins in a hacking incident. And you were part of the debates within the Bitcoin community regarding the scaling of the network to accommodate a growing number of transactions. You also observed Bitcoin reaching an all-time high of nearly $20,000 in 2017 and the significant institutional adoption that occurred from 2020 to 2021, with companies like MicroStrategy, Tesla, and others . Also you saw El Salvador becoming the first country to officially adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in September 2021. With this wealth of experience among many others not mentioned do you think it qualifies you to provide non-professional or semi-professional financial advice regarding Bitcoin to individuals?
Non-professional or professional, it wont matter because recommending or telling someone about Bitcoin, you wont really be needing to make yourself having those kind of standing or having those status
because it would really be that best that people would really be the ones who would really be recognizing about into those things you have known or shared up or your real experience.
Thing here is that you do really know into yourself that you've experienced those things that not all had been able to do so. You would be keeping into yourself and if there would be someone who would
gonna asked then its not really that bad to consider on explaining those things.

It would be on someones personal choice on what are the things that you would gonna do.Whats important that making those recognition and explaination into those people
who are interested on which it could somehow do really help us out in terms of potential additional recognition and adoption.
409  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH vs BTC future growth potential on: January 11, 2024, 08:59:07 PM
I hear a lot of voices saying that BTC's price will go through the roof when the monetary system goes down.
I've heard predictions of BTC going 4x in 2024. Others say 33x in years to come.

Is there any estimated guess on how high Ethereum can go?
While the growth of BTC depends on the loss of confidence in regular currencies (dollar, euro..) it seems that the growth of ETH is not dependent on this.
I often hear people talk about BTC value explosion, while it seems that growth of ETH price is more gradual and linear. So basically a lower expected return on investment.

Also, after BTC surviving for more than 10 years and not even the Chinese government being able to stop it, I am quite confident it can not be stopped.
But can ETH somehow be stopped? Confiscated or devalued when exchanges are attacked

The investment I can afford right now is 1 BTC and 1 ETH.
I barely have fixed costs for the next 2 years so I can slowly stack up.
But I don't know if the same amount is better invested in let's say 0.5 BTC and 5 ETH. That will depend on growth potential and safety
Also if the government somehow finds a way to attack BTC, owning 5 ETH can compensate for the other investment that didn't work out.
I would like to diversify, but don't find many suited options to diversify in.
Looks like you heard a lot mate? why not dig your own to check what may come? you even listen to x33 in the coming years? have you really check the price when you posted this?
the price is more than 30k so meaning if that will come to x33 then bitcoin will be pricing a million dollars per coin? damn that is so much to expect.

You are afford of buying 2  coins and that is one of each Bitcoin and EThereum so what is making hard for you to decide?

but since you are in altcoin section then best to follow your thoughts about alts and invest all that funds in ethereum instead .
Just buy Bitcoin separately or focus in that 1 bitcoin and 1 ethereum for safer investing.
Sometimes people do really forget to do some simple or basic math and this is why they do really end up with those words.  Cheesy

They dont really have  that kind of approach that it is really something realistic on which they would be sticking into those numbers on what they do have in mind.
Going back into the topic about BTC and ETH, then both #1 and #2 in overall market then there's no doubt that people would really be simply sticking into those
assets or coins which are really that mainly supported by the market.

We do know that ETH is that long time already been that existing and same goes for Bitcoin which is the father of all crypto. If you are really that wanting to stick into something
much safer than with those other coins in the market then BTC would be your best shot but dont expect that you would really be able to get those multipliers
in terms of returns of investment on which we do know that it cant be something that would be that possible.

This is why people do end up on whining on the time that they would be experiencing those unfortunate situations on which they do believe
that this is something the end and not really that part on what they had expecting.
410  Economy / Economics / Re: How to stay poor! on: January 11, 2024, 06:49:57 PM


3. Become an extremely cheerful giver/lender to friends and family. A wisdom quote I read somewhere said, "if you want to lose your friends and family lend them money".  Keeping doing this and you going to be successfully poor.



People out there don't really care about you, once you present yourself to them like a cheerful giver, they will stop at nothing till they milk you dry. And when the economy goes hard on you, only few people (I.e if you are lucky) will stay with you till the very end. People often say "givers never lack" , this is one of those numerous misleading quotes.  Givers really do lack! Especially when they spend more and earn less, they will definitely go broke.

It is better to spread good opportunities to people where they can work and earn money by themselves instead of giving out from your personal account. With this, you will be helping to reducing the number of dependent people around you and give yourself some breathing space too. How long will you keep footing other people's bills? Humans will always be Humans, they will come back for more once you make yourself available.
This is true and what do make even more worst that even your family or loved ones or relatives would really be possibly be taking that kind of advantage over you once they do know that you do really have
the money or resources on which they could milk out but somewhat this isnt really that an issue if this one would really be applied into your own family specially if you do have a wife and kids because we are all doings things just to give them on what they do need and even in having those wants that they do need then we would really be that glad that we could be able to give it out.

In speaking into other aspects about dealing up with things and making up decisions on which it could really give out that kind of chance or probability on being poor then there are lots of ways and scenarios.
The only issue on here is that into your own self awareness since not all people would really be that mindful on the things that they are dealing with even it would really be that affecting their
financial status on which i could say that people are way too dumb just incase they dont really be able to point it out.
411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who is the money manager? is it a casino or game provider? on: January 11, 2024, 12:53:45 PM
Most of the games in online casinos come from third parties or game providers such as Pragmatic Play, Bgaming, Pgsoft, Play'N Go, etc. When playing at any casino, we will use their services. Perhaps only the house edge games are fully owned and powered by the casino

So who actually manages finances? is it the casino itself or the game provider? Does the casino only get a commission from the game provider or buy the game license from the game provider?

Dont know if this has been already shared or pointed out but this one would be explaining all.

It depends on the game. For example, a progressive jackpot slot win will be paid by the game provider. That’s because the same game is being played all around the world, via online casinos and physical establishments, and linked over a network. Every losing bet contributes to the overall jackpot that will eventually be won by a single player. Therefore, you can imagine what a nightmare it would be for each casino to collect money towards the jackpot, report that to the game provider, and eventually pool it to pay the jackpot. So, it makes perfect sense for the game provider to provide this service, then to either pay the jackpot-winning player directly (very rare) or via the online casino or physical establishment (common). Some slot cabinets, on the other hand, might be owned by the casino or rented and will payout from the wagers placed directly on the machine.

Source: Link

This explains all i should say.Somewhat this kind of question do really clears up on whose gonna pay up into those jackpots on which those provider would really be doing
specially if its a progressive jackpot which it had been mentioned above.
412  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's Your Exchange to Wallet Ratio? on: January 10, 2024, 09:47:32 PM
Does anybody leave a percentage of their BTC on the exchanges, or do you guys store all your BTC in your wallets, etc?

Exchanges are meant to be used for treating coins, not storing them, so there is no point in leaving them in an exchange.
 
If I use any centralised exchange today to buy bitcoin, the only purpose for using that is to buy it, and that's where its service ends. Storing it is my personal responsibility, so I move it to my private wallet (self-custodial wallet), to be precise.
 
I don't leave bitcoin in any exchange, but I leave some funds in some exchange as a result of me using them to place a buy order, which I don't expect them to execute at that very moment. Only those funds on an active order are what I leave in an exchange; the rest of them are moved down to my private wallet.
 
Not your key, not your coin.

It's safer to store it in your wallet, where you have full control over it, than to keep it in a place where anything can happen at any time, such as fund freezing, hacking, bankruptcy, etc.
It is really that always be on which it would really be just that right that people shouldn't really be treating up those exchangers to be their long time wallets. Only noobs who would really be having this kind of consideration and this is why on the time that there would really be some exchange hacks and exploits then this is where they would really be that making searches that storing coins on exchangers are non suggested.
Yes, they do make out those realizations but it is really too late and this is why it would really be that always best that you should really make yourself wary as early as possible. The only issue when you do make
those active transfers from exchange to your main wallet is that into those fees, people would normally be trying out to save fees as much as possible and this is why they dont make those active
transfers just for having that kind of saving up for  those things specially now that even on Bitcoins fees were high then it would really be that just a waste if you do make out some active transfers.

This is why i do only store up into those coins basing up on what would be i trading. I dont put up 100% of my coin holdings into an exchange but rather i would really be just
storing or transferring coins which are really that bound for me to make use into trading or something that i would really be making out those active buy and sell
on which i dont need on keeping transfers.
413  Economy / Speculation / Re: Heading into 2024 crypto year: what are your hopes and fears? on: January 10, 2024, 08:29:38 PM
I was surprised that ORDI and SATS could move so well in a very short time last year but if we think it through we should have known that anything created on the Bitcoin blockchain now will have much patronage due to the mood of the season, so we should not be so surprised. As for 2024, this is going to be a great year for Bitcoin and the entire crypto space at large as Bitcoin will use its grace to lift them up.

The expectation of ETF approval might be cut off, but still, Bitcoin will find its path higher and another cryptocurrency will match up with it, it is just a matter of time. As we see now, the ETF saga has been dramatic since the beginning of this year unlike how it helped Bitcoin to climb high in late 2023 and the first week of the year. But now, it is a matter of tight range-bound that no one knows what the outcome could eventually be until the news breaks. We are all expecting, however, no matter what happens, I believe that Bitcoin will overcome any issues and even rise higher. This is the time of halving and the positive mood is already affecting the market, so let's all be optimistic as we move past $50,000 and $100,000 over time.
Based up on what i have read a few minutes or hours ago.

Cboe Says Bitcoin ETFs to Start Trading Thursday, Though the SEC Hasn't Approved Them Yet
https://www.coindesk.com/business/2024/01/10/cboe-says-bitcoin-etf-to-start-trading-thursday-ahead-of-secs-official-approval/

So this means that it is likely or almost assured that it would get approved? It would really be that impossible that they would be making out such immediate act
on starting on trading on thursday despite on having no final words about if its approved or not but basing up with these things then it would be
safe to assume that ETF would be approved.

In speaking generally about hopes and fears then it would be a never ending thing, fact is that this market would really be continuously
be making out such progress and recognition on which it is really that up to us on how we do deal things up accordingly.
414  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Cointelegraph has the worst price analysis articles on: January 10, 2024, 06:36:02 PM
Man, never take any advice for value. Cointelegraph is what I call repeater news. They never make first news they always recycle. That's first point.

Second point, price analysis is easy to do. Literally anyone can apply 10s of indicators and come up with analysis. This doesn't affect market future, so you still have to make your own choice. Pay for it or get it free, no difference to outcome. Just difference of quality analysis.

Right now, if you analyze, you cam come up with 5 arguments why price will go up, 5 why it goes down. All are valid with analysis. In the end, you make the decision Smiley
Any media outlets or sites then i cant really trust them up, yeah when it comes to events then it is really the main place on where most people would be checking on on which i could say that they do have at least that kind of popularity but i was surprised that there is someone who do really take up some advises on whats been suggested with these sites as if  they were really that so very sure on the things that they've been saying publicly. You would really be able to find yourself that too reliant with those information on which it isnt really a solid indication that it was really just that a precise thing.For snipping out some points
then it wont really be that a bad idea on getting one, it is really just that there are people who are really that depending or basing up into these informations and thats why
they do mess up on their own trades. Results or outcomes couldnt really be always that opposite but it would be always better that you should make on your own.

Just like the rest been saying that it would really be that always recommended that you should really be that basing into your own analysis rather than on trying out to keep
pushing or make use of those others suggestion on which on the time that it would be making out some opposite results then feeling of regret is really there.

The point is my husband doesn't know that i have been secretly gambling and involving myself with gambling discussions and the rest, So, this morning when i woke something in me keeps telling me i should let him know to understand my involvement  to practice gambling.

Does this worth telling him or not please i need you collective ideas.
We should really put up into your minds that there's no secrets that could be hidden or would really be kept forever on which if you are really that been bothered on everyday that he might caught you
then it would really be better that you should really be telling him, but of course you should really expect that there would really be those main questions would be asked. It would really be that impossible that your husband wont really be talking about financial spending on where you do get it? Even if you would really be telling yourself that you are on having that good control but it
is impossible that it wont really be raising up those questions that your husband would be mainly thinking.

This is why it would really be always best that you should really be telling him about it or else then it would really be that resulting into huge quarrel because
it would really be that impossible that you wont really be that having those questions or interrogations about gambling thing on which we do know
that this is something that would be a lasting kind of discussions and questions asked.
416  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Worth buying 1B SHIBA INU ? on: January 09, 2024, 09:46:09 PM
I'm thinking of buying 1B shiba Inu coin on binance <im verified with binance p2p >and keeping hold it for more 10 years I guess. Genuine question, will shiba come to 0.002$  within?
That's like $9.750 in current rate, it's up to you if you want to invest it or not (we don't know if it's a real one or just a fake). 10 years is such a long time for cryptocurrency and even SHIB could have such a potential change with that time if we compare with Dogecoin that's been released for almost a decade. I'd prefer Bitcoin to hold in 10 years but you do you I guess.

Also $0.002 is such a high number  and even dogecoin didn't reach that price during memecoin bull phase, so just forget it.
People sometimes do really set out those kind of levels or bars on which it is really just that too unrealistic on which they would really be that too hard to be reached even if we do speak about holding a decade.
There's so much other potential choices on which it would really be better to be hold off rather than on sticking into a single project. For SHIB then we do know that his had been able to reach out those high X's.
 already. Im not wary about their updates about their roadmaps and plans but if you are really that tending to believe into the plans that they are setting then it is really that your choice whether you would really be investing or not. There are people who are really that having those trust and positivity towards on a particular project on which they would be choosing up basing on what they are seeing.

1B SHIb isnt really that costing you that much and if this is one included into your own portfolio then it wont really be that a bad choice. Things turns out to be messy if you do make yourself that
sticking into a single point and not considering any other options on which you could really be able to take on.

You should consider using the Bitcoin Lightning Network for payments, because it is much faster than Blockchain transactions at the moment.

Also consider offering some kind of discount to people, if they are willing to pay with Bitcoin to incentivize the adoption of Bitcoin. (Example 15% off for people paying with Bitcoin)  
I would also advise the same, use Bitcoin Lightning Network for instant payments plus lower transaction fees compared to what we experienced using Blockchain transactions. That way, users will feel more convenient to pay bitcoin.

However, having discounts is a good option but it should also be limited. Let’s say the first 20-30 customers per day will get a 15% off so that everyone will be encourage to buy at your shop using bitcoin payment.

But from what I see, Lightning Network is still not popular and widely used even among veteran investors like us, let alone newbies. The idea of accepting bitcoin as a payment method is becoming a challenge as bitcoin transaction fees are getting higher and higher. I think if OP wants to invest and hold bitcoins, it would be much better if he bought them directly with fiat instead of just accumulating them through the route of using bitcoins as payment for his store.
Even if LN is really that been used, i do have doubts that people would really be actively spending their coins on buying up something. Why? they do know that profit chances and gains could really be that
possible on just simply holding it for long term on which this is something that we cant really be able to deny yet we've seen on how far it did been able to reach up. Yes, its great that it would really be seen
into those payment options but i do highly doubt that people would really be that actively be using their coins on which on buying up something because as much as possible they would really be
accumulating it as much as they can. Even myself would definitely be doing this since we know about its potential..

You cant really just that afford yourself on spending into those coins if you do know that you can earn more money on just simply holding it for more years to come.
It is really just that a waste if you do just basically be using it on something which you can actually do it on using fiat or other possible methods or common ways.
Its not really that worth and this is something that mainly you do have in mind.

A high-paying employee is like that you are on the safe side and there's no need to think of the risks that the business owners are taking. If I choose and I just want a simple life and nothing to worry about, I'll be an employee with a high salary. Of course the job itself isn't going to be easy and there will be more responsibilities that will be passed on me. But what I like for thinking like that is when you are out of work, you don't have to think about it anymore.

Whilst for the business owners, when you are done with the our of work, you still need to think and monitor about it at most times because it is your business and everything you want to do is to make it a better business so that you can help many people for employing them but all of the cost is on you. And it all depends on how much profit that you're making from it, I see good employers that are expanding their businesses and making new ones because they know how to and they're just so good at it to the point that any business they start, it is going to thrive no matter what happens and what the situation is.

I likewise love living life with simplicity without overthinking. Rather than investing additional energy working and overthinking the business, I can return home to my family and spend quality time with them. Sometimes you are busy with your job and have to work extra hours, but unlike owning a business, this only happens occasionally.

Anyhow, there may be enough time to start a business once one reaches retirement age and stops working in the company. Kids have their own lives and there is a requirement for the elderly to stay busy. But it would be a simple business with less complexity.

If given a chance that's the kind of life that most of us might love to do, after retiring and securing our kids' education and seeing them having
their own lives, putting up small business just to keep yourself busy.

Something that will allow you to continue working with your capabilities, there are things in life that will give us contentment where we don't need
to force ourselves to work extra.

Just a simple life and stable financial source of income either with stable job or business that we can run.
If you do have both then you could really at least having that assurance that you could really be able to sustain things even if you dont have work of even after you do retire on which you do know that you could really be able to pay up something or could be able to buy something without really be having any problems since you do have the money for you to do so, comparing to those who dont have or have
that sufficient money that they do get but later on it would deplete out because they dont really have something that could sustained of. There's really that notable difference into those people who
are really that able to have business or investment comparing into those who dont have. It is really just that there are people who dont have any plans on having those back up situations
and just  contented on what they do currently have.

If you are really that speaking about future things then it would be always wise and preferrable that you could really be able to sustain and do things without having no doubts
and having that feeling of security when it comes to financial matters and this is why while we arent that old then it would be wise that we should
be taking any actions.

gambling is a fraud that has been used to trick people into believing that their choices matter it does not everyone that gambles is just there to make money for the casino unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about human nature
If gambling is fraud and that's what you believe in then you're free to not play. We have our own way of thinking and no one coerce as to bet in the casino, it is our choice. Therefore we have an option to stop or continue to play if we are satisfied despite of having losses.

This is the reason why it's crucial to know how gambling works. Keep in mind to have less expectation gaining. Because there's no assurance to profit in gambling since luck has a major factor in order to win. On the other side, there's a house edge since casino is a business and that's how the operator make money. If there are many players and losers then more revenue for their business. Thus, it's up to us if we still want to gamble knowing we can lose our money if we use it in gambling.
We arent forced to play gambling on which if you do saw and believed that it wasnt that fair in the first place then you could always opt not to play and its up to our own choice whether we would really be playing or not and it would really be that according into your choice. Just as said that no one is forcing you to believe that it was fair or not, but one things for sure that house do always win at the end and it wont really be that something shocking that they would really be having the upperhand or advantage when it comes to long time duration type of playing or doing gambling because if you do keep on pushing your luck
then HE would really be your main enemy and if you are lucky then its good but if not then expect for a total blown out.

Playing gambling isnt bad as long you do make yourself that pretty much aware about the risks involved into it, if you dont then expect that you would be experiencing the worst.
Play responsibly and you wont really be that ending up miserable and just play for fun.
420  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: ESSENTIALLY SIMPLE TRADING FACTORS THAT EVERY TRADER SHOULD CONSIDER on: January 08, 2024, 09:16:48 PM
1. DISCIPLINE

You would definitely needing this:

Discipline on when to take a profit
Discipline on when to hold your position
Discipline on handling or managing your trading capital
Discipline on sticking into your plans

Other factors above mentioned are really that something that a standard thing on which it is something that you would be needing for you to survive this unpredictable space.
There's no way that you could really be able to handle yourself that easily but on the time that you would really be able to do so then you had already
been able to learn up those things which are mentioned above which it is really just that standard.

Yes, Discipline is something which can make you a profitable trader but unfortunately we don't see many traders being disciplined except those who are in the industry for longer period of time and indeed they are successful, we have often seen people gaining huge amount sometimes due to unexpected pump of shit coins like it happened with coins like pepe but they lose it all in trading because they are not disciplined.

I would say discipline is the most important aspect of trading and I have a set of standard operating procedure which will have all the points you have mentioned under the discipline, though I have struggled in the past to adhere as emotions sometimes takes better control over us but we gotta master this if we want to survive.
Once  you do able to make yourself comes into that situation on which you are already that making profits then you have already put up yourself on being that disciplined already.
You wont really be reaching out into a state if you cant really be able to handle up yourself into this volatile market.  These are the very basic essence of being a trader and if you dont have these behavior
or qualities then you cant really be able to sustain yourself into this unpredictable market. It is really that much needed or a behavior that you would be needing.

Trading is hard and this is a skill that cant really be that learnt in a short period of time on which it would really be just that normal that you would really be experiencing
those ups and downs and disasters along the way before you could really be able to have a good grasps to it. It is really just that there are people who
are really just loving on taking up shortcuts because of being that too impatient.
