2022 had so much to teach. It was a year of accumulation and learning despite Bitcoin losing more than 65% of its value. 2022 might never repeat itself and if i was to start over again i will just stick taking advantage of the dip no matter how long it takes for the market to recover. Day Trades can be risky for non technical analyst because from years of experience it seems technical analysis control 70% of Day Trades

Finding a good mentor can be a bit complicated in the crypto space because everything looks somewhat overhyped. Crypto brokers on the other hand should never be trusted, It's either they are extremely KYC conscious or they will someday crash due to unforeseen circumstances. For crypto trading community steady engagement makes the difference.

Don't forget most influencers are paid to do their job and because they are good at shilling they can cook up lies just to buy the trust of their audience. Granting this shillers audience is never bad but where the loophole occurs is when there is personal research after listening to their financial advice. The life of a crypto investor is subject to research from different sources in which personal research should be the core base of making investment decisions.

Diversification: Spread your investments across different cryptocurrencies and assets to minimize the impact of market volatility on your portfolio.

I'm not so sure about this one, tho. I have close to zero trust on Alts. It totally centralized and can go downhill at any given time. While its rise may seem pegged to BTC, but it's not. Bitcoin will pump to the sky, while many alt coins may fall to the ground. So the best bet is to only Buy and HODL BTC. You can try Dollar Cost Averaging to survive the bear market. And on the bull run, it will also help. Invest in BTC in parts, but not in shitcoins.
Buy low, sell high. Or HODL for long term investment plan.
It is about knowing which Alt has potential to do well. Diversification is just the only way to make a meaningful profit from crypto currency except for those who have good capital to go all in for Bitcoin. The biggest risk in Alt coin investment is falling for shit coin but hit and run method can limit the risk of falling for those scam projects. Take the profit when it is due and move on where investors fall prey is when the become greedy.

Meanwhile Arsenal are trying hard to reach the Premier League title this season. They have a safe gap with Manchester City and this is likely to get bigger if they win their missing match as well. But they don't have the luxury of being complacent even a bit. I expect them to perform strongly here and beat Everton.
Arsenal have 2 key match this season for the title if they manage to beat Manchester City for the rest of the season. The home and away fixtures against Manchester City are expected to be the decider of who has the better chance of winning the title. Arsenal do have a 5-point lead at the moment, but that doesn't make it any more favored for the title.

So I don't think Manchester City have lost anything this season as long as they are able to consistently win match the rest of the season. They need to win every match and try not to make too many mistakes in order to avoid dropping points in loss or a draw.
The next two matches City have in their fixtures will decide if they can close up on the gap with Arsenal first before looking forward to when the both team will have their first meeting for the season.  Even if Arsenal should lose the home and away fixtures with City. City cannot guarantee consistent win not with their unpredictable nature when they play against big teams. City is more likely to drop points than Arsenal.

Madrid's match like for the first half will end with a score of 0-0.

Your expectation is almost wrong, mate. In the 45+3 minute Antonio Rudiger scored a goal, but the goal was disallowed after VAR. Real Madrid played quite badly today. Although they dominated the game, it was not enough to get them 1 goal in the first half. But if they can maintain their dominance in the second half, I have no doubt that they will win this match, because since the start of the match Valencia has not had even one shot attempt.
Real Madrid is finding it difficult to score after Rudiger's goal was cancelled which ended the first half in goalless draw. I don't know if things will change in the second half but anything is possible but with their dominance they stand a chance of securing three points over Valencia poor tactics
426  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My greatest fear about Bitcoin Halving. on: February 01, 2023, 08:10:00 PM
Bitcoin halving is characterised by price boom and this is a general believe of some bitcoiners and members of this forum.
It is not just a mere believe by bitcoiner or forum members but this has to do with demand and supply. When the next halving sets in it will reduce the mining incentives and as well reduce the possible supply. Except the demand for Bitcoin doesn't increase but if it does then the boom is inevitable.

Quote
My greatest fear is; what if 2024 halving comes and go without any kind of bull run? Don't you think that there will be a serious problem and panic in the industry?
I am trying hard not to believe the bullish move experienced in January is not a preparation for the Bull run that will be experienced in 2024. But that aside. Only one thing will resist Bitcoin from experiencing a bull run which is limited demand. But as long as the demand increases it will be greenish even if it doesn't sum up to what was experienced in 2021 but it can't go bearish not after the halving.

Chelsea next match will determine if they are really serious to be mentioned as a big this season or not regarding to their recent club shopping for good players to make the team more effective, Chelsea has always beaten Fulham but that record was broken weeks back when Fulham got the 3points of the match that ended 2:1 in favour of the home team, they two rivals will be battling next in Chelsea home which the fans and bettors expect Chelsea to be victorious in that games because most of their fit injured players and new signings will be playing the match, so I also agree to that fact that Chelsea might likely win that encounter.
Chelsea vs Fulham will be a tough match for both clubs, and we should not allow Cheslea recent player signing to mislead us, Chelsea has performed woefully this season and Fulham, on the other hand, has been consistent in their performance and if I must choose the team between the two clubs, then my bet will go for Fulham winning no matter what the odds the bookmaker give to them.
*even though there will be a possible first-half draw, second half Fulham is going to make every possible attempt to score some goals.
Don't forget this new signings for Chelsea will be at their very best in their debut game. Fulham might not see the easy win they got in their first game. And don't forget this game will be played at Stamford bridge where Chelsea will do their best to both dominate and win the match by all cost. Because Potter knows his integrity is at stake
428  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 01, 2023, 07:34:11 PM
This week enters week 21. Inter vs Milan seems like a pretty interesting match. After two consecutive defeats, of course Milan does not want to be ashamed of Inter. Milan's defense is very Bad, 3 times with 12 goals. As for Inter Milan, they just won 1-0 over Atalanta and are eligible to enter the Copa Italia Semi-finals. In addition Marcelo Brozovic, who has been injured for a long time, may be able to play this weekend. Ac Milan will have to improve the defense if it is unwilling to be targeted by Martinez and Dzeko's goal party. I think Inter will win by more than 1 goal.
Don't you think this will be very competitive for Inter to score more than one goal? In Supercopa Italia finals Inter won by 0 -3 and in the first game between this two giants at the while they played in the first half of the season (3rd sept) it ended in 3 -2 in favour of Milan. Milan will play to improve their defense by all cost to return back to the top 4. I don't expect a cheap win again for Inter this time.
429  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: February 01, 2023, 07:24:07 PM
For Betis this match is also important as they still hope to get into the top 4. Betis can expect a draw but their last games have not been very good, while Barcelona have a great winning streak and Xavi is clearly determined to win La Liga. Dembele is a significant loss, but Barcelona have a big bench, Xavi will find someone to replace him. In addition, in the cup match, Betis was lucky that two goals of Barcelona were canceled due to VAR, today Barcelona can be more accurate and win.
Real Betis shouldn't be a difficult opponent for Barcelona and Xavi has a goal to improve the image of Barcelona which has recently become bad. If Barcelona succeeds, it will make Xavi's name shine again and of course trigger investors to provide additional funds for Barcelona's development.
I think it's not only having to beat Real Betis, but staying consistent and always winning will allow Barcelona to get funding from investors or other development funds. Even so, Barcelona must secure the La Liga title this season so that the above can be achieved.
Betis should not be underestimated after all Barcelona is seriously having issues with scoring more than one goal lately. In as much has Xavi and his teams are favourite to win on paper. Xavi will have to do more to score more goals in todays match because Betis has high chances of scoring as well and if Barcelona plays their usual one goal game they might end in a draw or lose game.

Betis are eager to enter the top four and they will want to play their best in todays match to get points that will keep shifting them until they occupy.
430  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A retracement of Bitcoin Has Negatively Impacted The Crypto Market on: January 30, 2023, 07:47:42 PM

Closing Thoughts
Bitcoin speculators should wait for the monthly price close to create another open position. At this crucial level, the retracement phase is also a major concern and if bitcoin rebounds and sustains above $24K, the price is likely to reach $25K soon.
The monthly Price close will help decide where to place the next buy order and if  it eventually hits $25k then a new resistance will automatically activate. The retracement is needed to keep the wave of the trend in check so price don't just move too fast and high as what happened in 2021 that lead to the drastic fall of the crypto market.
431  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 30, 2023, 06:52:58 PM
The bundesliga this season is the most entertaining one in recent years the gap between the first and fifth position is only three points but i still doubt the other teams can keep up, most of them are inconsistent in term of performance and results so i think soon bayern will get a comfortable distance from the others.
Not with their constant draws. Since Bayern returned from the break it has been draws in their last three games. Their next game is against Wolfsburg who won SC Frieburg with 6 goals what is the guarantee Bayern won't lose their next match. Union Berlin on the other hand has maintained three points each in their last three matches. In the next week the Bundles Liga will have a new table topper that is if Bayern fails to take three points from Wolfsburg. by then Bayern will starting struggling back to reclaim it again by then it might be late.

It seems that juventus problems have effected the team performance and since they lost those fifteen points they  were not able to win a draw against atalanta which is understandable but to lose at home 2 0 against monza after the great performance they showed and the winning streak they had but we really can't blame the players since they sudenly found themselves at the bottom of the table.
yes, maybe because of the point deduction sanction factor that made the team not excited to play, even though Juventus had the upper hand to beat Monza, it's just that they didn't really play well yesterday
Juventus are emotionally drained. It not easy dropping from the second place to a position some where close to the bottom. This is not the Juventus we knew from the start of the season to the point that Monza will defeat them in their home stadium. Allegri now need to do beyond setting up tactics and strategy to include boasting back the morale of his team so they can at least qualify for conference league next season.

Real madrid team failed to win yesterday at home against Real sociedad and now they let barcelona get 5 points ahead of them i think at this point barcelona will likely win laliga real madrid team is wasting a lot of points and that will comeback to bite them, now their only chance is to beat barcelona when they face each other and wait for them to lose some points and catch up but i don't think that will happen.
After all, the draw kept Ancelotti calm and asked everyone not to panic. Instead, he hopes to rise in the next round, Madrid to face Valencia at home. According to Ancelotti if the win over Valencia will provide a positive value
Laliga has only ended the first round with Barcelona topping with only 5 points which is not enough to secure the title. Madrid having a draw with the third team on standing shows they have potential to still race with Barcelona for the title. If i should show my fear for any team at the moment it should be for Barcelona because since they returned from the WC break it has been just 1 goal narrow victory they have been having and now Dembele is on injury what will be their fate?
434  Economy / Economics / I have resolved into buying more and caring less on: January 29, 2023, 02:48:35 PM
Everyone has drawn their resolution for the year as regard Bitcoin investment and more. Bitcoin is bound to do what it wants to do. And no matter where the direction of the market has chosen to point to, i will just buy until when i feel it has gone too high to keep buying.

I am longer paying attention to all the noise that comes with short term investment anymore. It is better to be in red on a short term than to lose out on big opportunities on a long term. If the market is selling at a low price i will buy, If it is buying at an uptrend i will still buy. The only difference is i will try not to buy too high because in all the buying profit is the target. The goal is not to get rich but to catch up with the next trend and ATH.

The fact is on a long run the market will do what it wants to do and not even the best analysis can change it from making its desired moves. Bitcoin long term prediction is becoming even more harder to make as external forces keep playing out in the market more often. Staying positive for long term goal has given so many good profit in time past and it won't be out of place if similar occurrence happens again on the long run

What do you think!!!
435  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 28, 2023, 12:30:38 PM
certainly Napoli is now projected towards the final victory of Serie A, 12 points ahead of the second in the standings is a great advantage, but it is still early to draw real conclusions! there is the whole second round to play and maintaining the pace that Napoli has had so far is not easy at all
I think it's all clear now, maybe Napoli won't even have to worry too much about winning all the remaining games, because their opponents lose points quite often, so there is little doubt that Napoli will become champions. Moreover, such a good lead will give Napoli the opportunity to feel comfortable in the Champions League without worrying about the situation in Serie A.
Napoli still need to worry about their remaining matches because no one knows what will happen in the second round of the league. 12 points lead ahead of the second in the standing is a nice stat for the first half but shouldn't be a reason to relax because things change considering the length matches left to end the season.

There is always room for adaptation. It is not as if this same old people don't get scammed through the regular fiat money, they found a way to adapt. Aside that many countries now operate on cashless policy and this advanced citizens still find a way to adapt so if eventually Bitcoin get full adoption this same citizens will adapt. Just like they are getting scammed through fiat and majority learn to be more careful with their fund the same will apply when Bitcoin finally get adopted
437  Economy / Economics / Re: Success is fundamentally determined by luck, not effort. on: January 28, 2023, 12:03:14 PM
I am of the opinion that success is intentional and deliberate . Except for those who were born into success whom i can classify as lucky. The majority who grew their profile from scratch where they had nothing to a good success just like OP relations were gradually getting prepared for their big success while they endured those days of their little beginning.

I am not disputing the fact people get lucky at times to get success they didn't labor so hard for,  But with the high inflation rate this days does cases are rare it is no longer has common as it used to be. To me been successful mean been so intentional about getting what ever success one desires and if luck makes it easier in the cause of the building process then fine.

In the last five years i have not just grown in crypto trading but also in acquiring other skills. In Crypto trading i haven't made that massive wealth other professional traders have but one thing i can boast of is that my trading account keep funding my bills through the little profit i accumulate. Another interesting thing here is that because i am able to manage my profit from trading i can now save and invest from what ever earning i get through signature campaign and my other job which i do remotely.

Quote from: Porfirii
For current matchday, the other interesting match will be tomorrow's Real Madrid vs. Real Sociedad, as they are second and third in the standings, respectively.

Madrid needs the three points to reach Barça (if they lose), while "Erreala" needs them if they want to fight for the second place. The rest of games are not very interesting this week, but these two main matches can be decisive for the future of the league.

Real Madrid need to prepare well for this match, so that they will be able to score goals that will make them to achieve the three points because Real Sociedad is a strong team that don't know how to give up easily in any competition. I believe, the two teams will definitely make the match tough for each other in the first half but Real Madrid will apply some strategies that will make Real Sociedad to get weak in the second half to enable them embrace the points. Real Madrid will not allow anything that will make them to lose this match happen,because many people will lose hope on Real Madrid to take over the position from Barcelona.
Real Sociedad also need three points to get the same points as Madrid. Even though it won't change their positions because of GD. Games like this might end in a draw because both teams have their respective interest in the game. While Madrid is playing to get closer to Barcelona in points Real Sociedad will be doing same to meet Madrid in points and the pressure of the game becoming intense.
440  Economy / Economics / Re: Is renting an inevitable waste of money? on: January 28, 2023, 11:14:49 AM
The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is between €300 and €400 at best; thus, I was thinking that taking a loan is as costly as paying rent per month, but after 15-20 years, you end up with a house. My main concerns are the following: First, if you're in a long-term relationship like myself, you can never be 100% sure that you'll be with that person in 20 or 30 years from now, which might prevent you from opting for a loan. Secondly, you need to be certain that the location or city of the property to be bought is convenient for future job offers and so on. Thirdly, because a loan is a many-year commitment, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to afford the monthly payment 15 years from now.
Taking a loan is as expensive as renting an apartment but it has it's advantage of making you the owner of the house after a period of time lets say 15 -20 years as mentioned in OP when the loan is finally settled. And i was also thinking that there is no point been in a long term relationship when the picture of how the relationship will be in the next 15 - 30 years is not clear. The longer we spend we people the more we know if we really want to be with them or not. Secondly since it is still a relationship with no legal document binding you both taking a loan has nothing to do with your relationship. Except you both are paying for it together
