421  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: June 02, 2024, 04:32:44 PM


Serie A is currently much more competitive because several of the top Serie A teams have fairly even strength, creating fierce competition.
For next season, I even think the fight for the Scudetto will be much fiercer, unlike this season, like Inter Milan, which is quite dominating at the top of the standings without any pressure.

I hope so too. This season, Inter Milan managed to become champion with a difference of 21 points from AC Milan in second place. This is a very big difference in points and Inter Milan really dominates. I think next season Juventus, AC Milan, AS Roma and Atalanta will show significant changes. Next season the Italian team will get the most places in European competitions and this shows their dominance in European competitions. Serie A will be very interesting next season.
If any of these clubs that you mentioned starts the league well in a winning streak it means that they will go far, but it is the club that will be more consistent that will win the league. This was why Inter was able to win the Scudetto this season with 21 points gap because they habe being consistent from the beginning till the end. Juventus tried but they fell off along the line.

I hope to see a good competition next season so that Inter will not feel that they are the strongest, but for that to happen it means that all clubs needs to be prepared for next season by putting in place whatever loop holes that they are having now, amd buy players that will fit in the job.

I personally don't have the guts to stake huge amount of money into gambling just because I feel lucky that day. That is way too risky given that his friend might be just pressured and need to try to prove it and luckily he got lucky. That was actually a one time luck and I don't think he can do that again one tap.
You know one thing, luck makes people feel as of they made the right decision, and it was because of the confidence that they had that made the bet to favor them, unknown to them that they were just lucky.

Like you said, I don't see gambling as something anyone need to have confidence on because it is not by our doings or skills but only luck, and this is why I don't gamble with huge amount of money so that I don't upset when I cannot control my emotions. If my club is weak and playing against a stronger club, I will bet against my club because I want to be a winner. Nobody will see something bad and go for it.
423  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fixed match or not? on: June 02, 2024, 01:54:56 PM
Pretty much a fixed match. Otherwise, scoring all these 43 goals is impossible. Man it's 1 goal every 2 minute almost lol.
It means in every 2 minutes and some seconds, a goal is scored. I have seen matches like this in the past but I always think they are fixed matches. The match is under investigation and I think one of the 22 or more under 14 players should be able to tell the truth. The club they played with is not strong and there are sometimes that a team can be weak to the extent that can make something like this to occur. I will say it might be fixed or not. I am not sure if it is fixed or not.
No matter how weak a team is, it is impossible to score 1goal every 2mins+ upto 43 goals. The reason why I said so it that, after scoring your opponent needs to pass the ball and there is no amount of weakness that will make the ball not to delay more than that time. IMO, it was turn consecutely which I don't believe it is possible.

In leagues like this, it is used to make money and that is why they allow the manipulation and match fixing to continue. It is better not to bet on such leagues, otherwise, you will run at loss.
424  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: June 02, 2024, 01:16:12 PM
By the way, the poor have an advantage: they always keep themselves under control, because if this does not happen, then the poor person simply does not sing the next day. And the rich don't control themselves that much.
I don't really agree with you that the poor have advantage in this case. There is something you seem to be missing and that is the fact that the money the poor gamble with which you might consider small is actually like the "widow's might", I mean something very huge for them. You night see someone gambling with $10 which ordinarily appear like small amount, but in reality, this might be like $100k for the person. Furthermore, the poor gamble with the mindset of ending their poverty through gambling, and this makes them make emotional decisions. Whereas the rich might just be gambling for fun because they have other means of meeting their needs, so their emotions are not that engaged in the gambling and their decisions are clear, without any external inducement. The poor truly perform badly in gambling than the rich.
Are you trying to say that there is no responsible gambler that is poor, addiction is both for the poor and the rich and it does not consider who you are. The rich will lose more than they poor because they believe that they have more than enough to take care of themselves and that will make them to gamble carelessly.

Will a poor man use his house to gamble, when he does not have a home. The fact is that whoever fails to have self control over his gambling activities to enable him gamble responsible will be addicted and when you are addicted, you can gamble all your bankroll no matter how much it is.

I didn't just look at the stats but I watched the live broadcast too and it's true, that in the first half Dortmund had good dominance. Dortmund had several chances and or goal attempts in the first half very well,andalso hit the crossbar. But indeed,with thi skind of performance then I was also wrong because I predicted Dortmund would playmore defensively, but in factDortmund still played attacking and it was great.With this style of play too, it is certainly stillpossible forDortmund to score first and then defend it. This match becomes very interesting ofcourse,  because Dortmund can really play well also with a dangerous attack.
The game has now entered the 70th minute, both teams seem to be looking for a way to score their first goal of today game, Dortmund who were previously very underestimated because against the favourites, have they been able to perform well enough so far and make De Gea have to work very hard to prevent his goal from conceding?
not only in  first half, dortmund make Madrid quite troublesome with their counterattacks and even in the second half at this time Dortmund still continued to be able to suppress Madrid defense, Madrid of course also had many good chances in scoring but Mat Hummels solid performance made it difficult for Madrid to break Dortmund's goal, even when I wrote this post Madrid managed to make a dangerous shot through Belingham and also Vinicius but Kobe able to cope with it quite calmly.

As I said before, isn't it wrong to doubt Dortmund, although the game still has a lot of time left but I think so far Dortmund have played well enough and maybe Dortmund will be able to force Madrid to end the game with a draw later.
Real Madrid takes the lead as Carvajal was able to find the back of the net on the 74th minutes to give his side more advantage of winning the match. One thing with Real Madrid is that they always show their best performance in the second half.

Oucch.. Vini just scored the second goal for Real Madrid on the 83rfd minutes. it is finish for Dortmund for them to allow Real Madrid to take over the second half.

Dortmund 0-2 R.Madrid
426  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 01, 2024, 04:06:44 PM
There is a buzz in the transfer market that Brazilian star Rodrygo wants to leave his current club Real Madrid. There are certainly enough reasons behind this. The biggest reason behind leaving Real Madrid is that Mbappe and Endrick will join the club in Real Madrid next season and if these two stars join the Real Madrid camp, Rodrygo will be in doubt for his place in the starting XI. Rodrygo is not going to sit out the season on the bench so he may decide to move to PSG or Chelsea next season. Although this is not entirely certain, it is likely to happen. If Rodrygo made this decision considering this reason then his decision would be a logical enough decision.
It would be very painful if Rodrygo was really kicked out of Real Madrid just because of the addition of new players. Because historically Rodrygo has had a strong role and ties with Real Madrid. For that reason, I don't expect his position to be threatened, but again Mbappe arrival could mean that Rodrygo will have to stay on the bench longer. Rodrygo is faced with a difficult situation and this will certainly make Real Madrid also experience the same situation because it is quite difficult to let go of this player. Let's just wait for these rumors, because everything will be answered if Mbappe is officially announced. One thing that makes me sure is that Real Madrid has the goal of reviving Los Galacticos volume 3 with the composition of many star players.
If this is true, Rodrigo needs to go to a club that he will be among the first eleven if not sitting on the bench will kill his career because he is still very young, and needs to showcase his talent as he is going to improve in skills overtime.

If Mbappe and Enrique moves in to Real Madrid, it will be a dead squad and I must say that Rodrigo might not play in some matches. It is up to him to make the right decision on which of the clubs to go to. PSG should be better, because they are always playing in champions league. Though Chelsea is good too.

I discussed the final investment decision directly with my family. People in my family don't know about Bitcoin but when I told them about Bitcoin and explained it to them for a while they got some idea about Bitcoin. I explained them about Bitcoin in such a way that they supported my investment. It's not like I misled my family into investing, I gave my family a real picture of Bitcoin investing which they really liked.  
My family members have assured me that I am planning my future where other children take money from their parents and buy drugs and other bad things with that money. They were happy with my plan and said that they would help me financially or otherwise in terms of investment.  
It is good that you have convinced your family members to invest in Bitcoin but have you told your family that investing involves risk. If you haven't informed them about this, you should discuss it with them and not just Bitcoin investment. I agree if you are willing to invest in Bitcoin, look for money accordingly but you should think before investing and do proper planning and judgment analysis before investing. Many people like you are interested in investing in Bitcoin with the help of their families in the new situation.

It turns out that you have been investing in your bitcoins for months and suddenly the price of bitcoins has dropped, will your family help you continue your bitcoin investment or do you have enough opportunities to invest without their help. Prepare yourself to invest in Bitcoin in such a way that you can continue your investment properly even if there are hundreds of hurdles. Investing in bitcoin requires a lot of patience and long time which will take you to your destination.
Everyone who studies the world of investment must understand that in this world all investments have their own risks. It's just that there are certain levels of risk in each different investment field.

But basically the risks that exist in every investment field can be minimized by developing our knowledge in the field we are going to enter.

Trust me if we invest in property that is said to have low risk. But for us it can be very high risk if we don't understand and study it first before entering it.

For example, if we buy property in a disaster-prone area. Then it's the same as us throwing away our money. Because the price will continue to fall. especially if it is land prone to landslides and so on. Which even the previous owner would have left behind.

But when we understand it properly and study it carefully first. Then we can minimize the risk as small as possible. Because we already know which ones have potential and which ones don't. Which ones are worth entering and which ones are not. Because basically investment is about seeing potential in the future.

So now we apply it in Bitcoin. Indeed, Bitcoin is also an asset that has a high level of volatility because its price fluctuates. And yes, this makes many people say that Bitcoin has a fairly high level of risk. But actually, some things are true and some are not.
Because it depends on how deep one's insight into bitcoin itself. If someone can enter Bitcoin investment at the right time after going through a lot of analysis and he has seen the potential in the future. So he can minimize the risk of loss because he entered at the right time. that is, when there is a decline. And then he plans to get out when the bull market comes.

But for beginners who don't study it in more depth. So they tend to enter without taking into account or without careful investment planning due to limited knowledge. This can make the beginner considered investing with high risk. Because he has entered in a field that he is not good at. So the conclusion is high risk is for those who enter in fields that they do not study. And the risk is low for those who enter a field they have mastered.
Bitcoin investment is not like you think and you don't need to deep knowledge on bitcoin before you can invest and not run at loss. This is because, a new investor who just want to start his bitcoin investment journey is on a long term and when you are investing on a long-term, maybe 4-10yrs, you don't need any deep knowledge, but only the basic knowledge of bitcoin which is how to buy and send to your self custody wallet, precis a cold storage, since you are only accumulating and not selling.

There is no best time to buy for a new beginner in his long term bitcoin accumulation goal because he just started and needs to keep on accumulating bitcoin to his portfolio regularly using DCA method  so that he can reach his bitcoin target overtime. This is why the DCA method is best recommended for beginners because it gives them the opportunity to buy bitcoin always irrespective of bitcoin price. What a new beginner needs to figure out is how much of his discretionary income that he can use to buy bitcoin that he can be consistent with, so that he can continue buying with such amount regularly without stopping, and at the same time build his emergency funds from the other part of his discretionary income because it is very necessary, to become a successful long-term bitcoin hodler. A new beginner can start investing into bitcoin and learn about bitcoin at the same time, because in bitcoin accumulation experience is the best teacher than mere theory. Also the time that he will delay in learning cannot be recovered, that is why those that are just starting should not waste any time but start right away as long as they have the money.

It is impossible to learn everything about bitcoin in just one year so learn is a gradual process, and there is no need to have majority of the knowledge, because as time passes by the price of bitcoin will not remain the same.
It is wrong for someone who has no knowledge about bitcoin to buy bitcoin and looking for advice from people for help. I think people who invest this way without having any knowledge are just desperate to get rich from bitcoin. It looks so unreasonable for someone to decide to invest on something that is unknown and without any understanding, that means the person just only care about profit  and not about bitcoin. Someone who is really Interested to invest in bitcoin will go after knowledge first before proceeding of buying Bitcoin to  invest.

Without knowledge buying Bitcoin is a waste because it will look so complicated to the person when their is fall in the market. Knowledge about bitcoin is not just about investing but how to use the right wallet and also helps to give good Understanding in securing the seed phrase.  No matter the amount used in buying Bitcoin, no bitcoin if their is no knowledge on how  to invest because their can't be magic to end up with a positive result by the end of the investment.


Frankolala is right.... Any new beginner to bitcoin only need to know the basic knowledge of bitcoin which is how to buy bitcoin from exchange and the best wallet to use and how to transfer bitcoin to his wallet. It is good to start investing and don't need anyone to advice him on his bitcoin journey before he buys. This is because he is investing and hodli for 4-10 years and above. During that period, those years are big enough for the new bitcoin investor to learn whatever he needs and that is why you are at advantage to invest as you learn because practical and theory goes hand in hand.

Theory will not teach you how to save money in the bank, you practice it. Theory will not teach you how to use the exact discretionary income to buy bitcoin regularly using DCA and how to control your emotions on bitcoin price fluctuations. It is traders or short-term hodlers that will run at loss if they enter the market with the basic knowledge of bitcoin. Buying and storing in cold storage wallet only overtime will not make you run at loss because as time passes on, bitcoin price increases in value and it is likely to continue like that.

So if you are waiting to get all the knowledge of bitcoin before you want to start investing, you will end up buying bitcoin expensive than this price and also accumulating little quantity of bitcoin compare to if you were investing and learning. Time waste for no man, and we keep in getting older everyday. About the seed phrase the moment you create your wallet, you would be advised to keep it safe from third party which is still practical.

I don't think that I have seen any investor who understands what investment is, and he wakes up one morning and decided he wants to invest in bitcoin without him asking someone or go to the internet to see how he learn about bitcoin and he will only focus on how to buy and store because that it his plan to invest, and after buying he can now have full interest to learn more about bitcoin because he has already invested and needs to keep his investment safe.

Diversifying one's investments is indeed an amazing strategy but just as you've rightly stated, filling one's bag with shitcoins isn't the best way to diversify, whoever tells you it is, is simply lying to you or is naive.
There are real life assets that also have long-term potentials just like bitcoin and you can consider those other options to diversify. Gold is an amazing option, it's been in the market, even long before bitcoin came into existence, and you can also consider it for its long-term potentials too just like bitcoin.
In China today, Silver is also a hot cake and quite a viable option for investment diversification.

There are so many of them to be considered.

Fuck gold and silver and the idea diversifying.

Figure out your bitcoin plan first, and then maybe if you have accumulated a decent amount of bitcoin, then maybe at some point it might become justifiable to diversify, but talking about diversification into gold and/or silver makes it sound like you are pumping inferior products and trying to compare them to bitcoin when bitcoin is likely in the ballpark of 1000x better then each of them...so no need to discuss any particulars of them or to pump them, especially here in this thread when we are talking about bitcoin.
I think you must've misunderstood my point...
I'm not trying to say diversifying from Bitcoin to other assets like gold and silver is an option, let alone being a better option.

No!

No!!

Noooo!!!


All I'm trying to say is that, for those who have indeed accumulated a good number of Bitcoin and are considering diversification, rather than filling their bags with variety of shitcoins which are totally unsafe and highly risky, it would be a lot more preferable and justifiable to even consider investing on real life assets that guarantees the safety of one's finance, and have a good track record or longevity and long-term potentials, but that doesn't mean gold's potential could be compared to Bitcoin, because bitcoin has undoubtedly proven to be the most profitable and safest asset to invest in.
I feel the reason why JJG reacted so is that you are too early in bitcoin accumulation to start thinking of diversifying into silver or Gold. Not actually that those listed diversification are so bad, but talking about diversification when you have not even accumulated much as expected and you are taking of diversification, it is a kind of situation that surely put you in confusion or even considering diversifying into things which should have be a second option rather bringing them up at an initial stage. What you should have been thinking right now is to accumulate more of bitcoin than talking about diversification. Though it is a reply to someone which you where advising, but sometimes advice we gave surely mean another thing in anticipation. What we advise is what we feel or what we are about to do so something it better we don't even have that though if not it will mislead us.
About diversification, I wasn't considering diversifying my investment, at least not just yet. I know better than to start thinking about diversification at this stage of my Bitcoin accumulation.

I was merely trying to make a point, which is that for people who have accumulated a good number of Bitcoins and are considering diversification, it'll be a lot more safer to consider investing in assets like Gold and Silver rather shitcoins.
Even though you have completed accumulating the quantity of bitcoin you want to accumulate and you decide to diversify your investment, it shouldn't be on assets like gold or silver because it will take you time before you will be in profit from a gold or silver investment. You should diversify your investment in investments that can yield a profit early so that it will help you earn money that will give you extra hands in holding your bitcoin investment for the long term, such as selling commodities.
The most important aspect of investment is the safety and assurance of profit overtime, how long it takes shouldn't be the problem, even Bitcoin takes even longer to give cool profits, but what makes Bitcoin investment exceptionally cool is the assurance and potential for profitability in the long run, so whether gold investment takes longer or shorter time before you get profit really doesn't matter as long as your profit is guaranteed and your wealth is free from inflation.
So the fact that gold and silver offers your asset safety just like land and other real estate properties makes it a viable option for diversification, or wouldn't you agree with me?
As long as you keep trying to prove that diversifying our investment in gold or silver is good, I disagree with you. Yes, bitcoin is a long-term investment. Before we can make a good profit from our bitcoin investment, we have to hold it for a long time, such as 5 years. But you fail to understand that since we have accumulated the quantity of bitcoin we intend to accumulate, it is not good for us to diversify our investments into another long-term investment, which should take the same number of years as bitcoin to give us a return. We should diversify our investments in something different from bitcoin so that we can use the money from the investment to solve our living expenses, and it will make us not to depend on our investment to survive or sell it in a hurry to solve unexpected problems.
I disagree with you that if you diversify your investment into a different assest that is not in line with bitcoin, that is also a long term investment will become a problem for that investor, and that we should diversify into an investment that we can use to solve our living expenses in order for us not to touch sell our bitcoin investment to survive when we are faced with challenges.

 You are contradicting yourself, because any investor that wants to diversify must have reached a level that he feels he have enough Bitcoin and he wants to channel his resource into another asset that his not bitcoin so that he does not have all his investment on bitcoin so that if one is not doing well, the other can balance it. Such person have being investing into bitcoin for long and for him to reach that level, it means that he has every other things in place that has prevented him from selling his bitcoin investment until he reached the level of him feeling he has too much.

That investor already has an emergency funds, reserve funds and float and diversifying in another long term asset will not affect him financially, because he still have his means of income. Diversifying is good but it is only for people who have a broad knowledge of investing and the value of that investment overtime. I am poor at this, so I would prefer to hodli my bitcoin and maybe diversify into cash related properties, but the bottomline is that bitcoin can give you a higher profit that any other asset that you diversify into and the odds of bitcoin value to increase and last for long is high.

430  Economy / Economics / Re: Labor is really the birth of happiness? on: May 31, 2024, 02:50:31 PM
As a child, textbooks and teachers have taught us that hard work begets good luck. That is, no one comes into the world with luck, everyone has to make their own luck. The more hardworking and the more serious he is towards his work, the more likely he is to succeed. But there are some people around who look at them and think this saying is not true. Around me, I see many such daily wage laborers, rickshaw pullers or agricultural laborers, who remain at the same position from which they started their life even at the end of their age. It's not like they don't work hard.  

A day laborer works for around 12 hours non-stop and in return they get a small amount of money which they spend in various ways. Here my question is why they are not able to change their fate after working so hard. In this case you may tell me that he is a daily wage laborer or he is a rickshaw driver that is why he is not progressing but he is focused on his workplace and he is working there with full focus so why is he not changing his fate. If a rickshaw driver or a day laborer wants to but cannot become a doctor or an engineer, he has to focus on his profession. What do you say about his change of fate?
Hard work does not mean during muscular odd jobs, hardwork means putting all your effort, time and sacrifice in whatever that you are doing to achieve your dreams by learning a skill or go to school. This is why the level of your education will determine the kind of job that you will get. It is just that these days government have failed to provide enough jobs for the citizens which is making the rate of unemployment to be high.

This is why it is good for someone to save up something and invest in bitcoin, because it is only through investment and business that one can improve his financial status, or if you are lucky to get a good job. One thing I believe about success is your destiny, if you walk on the right part towards your destiny you will be successful and that is why in everything that we do, we do take it very serious.

Right now my only plan is to keep on buying or investing, I am looking to buy more alt-coin that I think is cheap right now to expand or make my portfolio bigger.
Shitcoins will only make your portfolio slimmer and not bigger if you buy them. You should only stick to bitcoin investment and do not think of buying shitcoins because they are cheaper, and that is what people get greedy on. They think that investing in a cheap coin will guarantee them profit, of which they will end up at great loss because the dev of those shitcoins purposely created them and pump them into the market to decieve those investors that think they are smart enough to make good profit from shitcoins, and at the end the dev will rug pull you, and you run at great loss. Investing in shitcoin is gambling because shitcoin will end up crashing and you will run at big loss. We have seen a lot of them crash in the past. Investing in shitcoin will bring you pain and sorrow, and shitcoins can not last in the market. Bitcoin is the best to invest in because, it will last for long and as long as you are only investing and not selling, you will not run at loss, but shitcoin you can wake up one morning and your portfolio is zero.

So accumulate bitcoin and buy regularly with your discretionary income using DCA and buy always either every week or every month and make sure that you don't ignore your emergency funds and reserve funds to enable you hodli for a very long time. Your mind will be at rest because you will be seeing the result of your bitcoin portfolio as you are investing.


I would wait for the next bull run, and decide what would I do with my profit and capital when it comes.
Right now I am also putting my savings in crypto so that it wouldn't just sit on my bank account, and it could also ride the next bull run.
It is good that you use your fiat saving to buy bitcoin and continue buying regularly so that your can save your fiat from depreciating and also increase your fiat value in bitcoin. This is because the odds of bitcoin keeping value or increasing value of fiat is high. Why are you planning of selling all your portfolio in the next bull run, it means that all your effort of investing and hodli will be a waste of time, because you should see bitcoin investment as an investment for the future in which it can serve as back up for you at old age. One unique thing about bitcoin investment is that the longer you hodli, the more your portfolio value will increase overtime. You can start taking profit when you have reached your bitcoin target.

I know that feelings when you are able to have your first bitcoin, it will be like a big dream come true. Of course, this is why we are in a bitcoin community to encourage people buy bitcoin because it is a means of freedom for us from fiat currency depreciation. I celebrate with you on your first bitcoin purchase and I do have joy to see new beginners investing in bitcoin.

Make sure that you continue with your DCA regularly so that you can add more bitcoin to your portfolio, and don't stress yourself that much to invest aggressively, so that you don't over do it, but invest with what you can afford to lose. You have a kind heart to share part of your win with the poor. Rmem3not to leave your coins in an exchange and use a self custody wallet to keep your coins.

Congratulations.

The house hedge always win and gamblers always lose to the house hedge. Bookies always win too than the gamblers. So if you look at it from this angle you will see it that the casinos and gambling site have made the gambling business to favor them more than the gamblers.

I hope you understand that gambling is try your luck and, it is not common to see people who had huge wins, but it is common to see people who are addicted and have been frustrated by gambling due to excessive loss.
434  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this true or some superstitious believe about gambling? on: May 30, 2024, 03:41:40 PM
I'm not into a religious matter because we have different believes on it but most of the time people linkages the gambling as related into evil because of its effect again at the end of the day it's people's choice what they will do with their life if they want to get addicted or being a casual player of gambling so no related into religious matter.
Gambling can form to a person an negativity power so people thinks gambling are the root of it but no it's the person who made the decision.
Yeah right, don't be too naive on something if it's because of your own mistakes in making decisions, honestly what kind of person is gambling why he hates it so much because he lost a lot of money in gambling, it's because they are looking for money in gambling, spending money that he can't lose, which causes him to lose more money because of chasing defeat, gambling may be for people who are not able to control themselves will be very detrimental because he will be controlled by the ambition to win himself which eats more money in gambling to feel that gambling is very bad for him.
It's about yourself, why blame the outsiders that they don't tell us to push the button and gamble, they just offer fun, and if you're lucky you'll get a reward, simple as that.
Gamblers always want to blame something for their reckless gambling life, instead of accepting the fact that they were gambling to make profit and that made them to keep on chasing their losses and losing over and over again. It is when they gave realized that it is impossible for them to win back their losses and for that reason, they will quit gambling because they never wanted to gamble for fun but for money.

Such people will always come up with excuses to make you feel that they were not chasing their losses but was gambling responsible. A responsible gamble will know that he will run at loss and doesn't care. This is why he only gamble with little amount of money that is nothing to him.

I was expecting you to outline people invest in Bitcoin because of how valuable it can be and an asset worth also like Gold of which is the best place to make our money work for us.

we assume that investing in Bitcoin during this time is much better in preserving your assets, interacting with Bitcoin investors should make them able to understand Bitcoin and Investment in it, and honestly nothing is too late for those who still want to get into Bitcoin even in the current circumstances. very good value.
I don't agree with you; anybody who says this period is the best time to invest in bitcoin was doubting bitcoin and refused to invest in bitcoin when he had the chance to accumulate bitcoin at a low price, but he didn't. The best time to accumulate bitcoin is in the bear market because you will accumulate a reasonable amount of bitcoin with less money, but anyone who fails to accumulate bitcoin in the bear market can do so when bitcoin is at its peak since bitcoin is a long-term investment.
So are you saying that if a investor was not able to buy bitcoin during the bear market, he should wait and buy bitcoin when bitcoin price is at the peak in the bull run, I disagree with you on this statement of yours. I know that the bear market is the best time to buy bitcoin, but what about those people who did not know bitcoin during the bear season. If a new investor want to start his bitcoin investment, the best time is now as there is no best time for a new beginner or a low coiner, since his bitcoin portfolio is slim. That investor should start right away to buy bitcoin as long as he has made his proper plan on how much he will use to buy bitcoin that will not affect him financially, because he is on a long-term ride and he can buy bitcoin using DCA always either weekly or month provided that he does not skip any week or month.

The new investor should not care about the market, but only focus on his bitcoin journey since he already has his emergency and reserve fund to remove any obstacle that will come his way, and with his regular DCA, he can buy bitcoin both at the bull run and at bear market and at any price consistently for 4-10 yrs and above. It is an investor who have reached a certain level of decent amount in his bitcoin portfolio that can choose to only buy at the dip, because he might have reached his maintenance stage or close to it.

The final between Olympiakos and Fiorentina does not look like final match one bit, I have been sleeping intermittently watching the match. I expected some real actions and good skills to make the final worth the time. First half goalless draw with very few attempts on goal from both sides. Maybe the second hand that just started will bring some humor and that will make the final worthy of a final. On the part of knowing who will win, neither of the side is showing any sign that they want to win. Maybe it will end in a goalless draw and the lucky side will win through penalty.
It is a boring finals like you said and the players and not adding much effort to find the back of the post. Imagine the only best chance that Nkuame had he lost it because he wants to score a stylish goal, but it made the goalkeeper to catch the ball easily. Something that he was supposed to talk a shot.

The second half is the same as the first half and none of these teams is still able to score any goal. From the look of the game, it might end up in a penalty.

Although you are right, we have to remember that the formula is the same in trading and investing. That is, invest and trade with the amount of money you can afford to lose. Only when you are able to lose the amount of money will your energy and inclination towards investment work, but you will not be emotional. Many times it is seen that people are afraid of investing, but instead of being afraid of investing, they participate in the investment with the money that they can afford to lose.
What you really mean is that both investing and trading involve risk. Those who are going to invest or trade should invest with risk because sometimes you can make money from investment and other time you can lose your money from investment. So invest as much as you can afford to lose.
Firstly investing and trading are two different things meanwhile if comparing the risk involved I will consider trading as a risky move but, this topic is not about trade and if anyone should trade they should be knowledgeable first but still doesn’t give full assurance. Investing is more safe because an investor will hold for long term with what’s available, this statement is kinda complicated “ invest as much as you can afford to lose”, bitcoin investment is not like gambling when people are given such advice to gamble with what they can afford to lose. The lose you mentioned simply means some day everyone might just not see any profit as anything attach with lose makes no progress. Bitcoin investment has no lose except the investor doesn’t want to hold for long that’s when we can say an investor is taking a risky move but, if we’re holding for long term we should expect profit in return. All what an investor needs is just the right strategy that suits their investment and a long term plan.
Invest the amount that you can afford to lose does not really mean that you are trading or gambling. Why is that term invest with the amount you can afford to lose is so that you can use the amount of money that you can let go of without it affecting you emotionally to buy bitcoin. That will enable you forget about it easily while you have put it into bitcoin, and it will be very possible for you to hodli such amount for a very long time. Another thing is that bitcoin is not guaranteed that the price will keep on pumping in future even though we know that from past record the price has being increasing overtime. Using an amount that you can afford to lose will help you not get affected emotionally and financially should incase bitcoin price did not perform as you expected. Although, I know that the probability of bitcoin price going higher in future is higher than it going to zero.

If it happens that bitcoin crashes  which I know is impossible, due to some unknown circumstances or in future a better channel of wealth was introduced that made people start abandoning bitcoin for the new technology, you will not lose all your life savings. I think those are the two reasons which I know why that word invest with the amount that you can afford to lose is used. There is an extend that you will invest those little amount of money after 4-10 years you will be surprised at the amount it has piled up to.

 I don't like using gambling as an example but pardon me for this, imagine that all the money a responsible gambler have been using to gamble, he should pile it up for 4-10 years, you will be shocked at the amount. So it is same thing if you invest such amount in bitcoin but this time you are putting it in an investment that will give you good profit in future. Gambling own is lost and gone forever, unlike bitcoin and it is only through DCA strategy that you can use such little amount to buy bitcoin regularly with you feeling it.

I've a question, Erik Ten Hag the best coach in the past decades for Manchester United? I guessed there's quite heavy duty applicable to sitting in managerial position in Manchester United. Watching their performance is quite not encouraging because they're completely out of control and have always been the club with shocking results. Manchester United will have to put in important strategic tactics if they're planning to make improvements next season. What improvements are we spotting out? The Manchester United is probably not consistent in matches and have conceded huge number of goals this season.
Manchester United having improvement in last two seasons despite having worst end of this season things are positive but now having another change of coach will bring instability this is surely unpredictable with things are looking for having another chance for the Eric Ten Hag because now he can bring better things with improvement in defense is essential for their success.

Winning 2 trophies in 2 seasons have never been easy while once ending into top 4 then having troubling time is wired but still we can say in last one decade Eric Ten Hag is one of the best man on duty here at the Old Trafford no one can predict about another season with current coach could be worse or having new coach could be problematic its interesting.
I so much like humans for they can easily crucify you when you are not giving them their expectations and call you names, but if there is a little impression from you on them, they will start singing your praise like they have never said so many bad words against you.

In the beginning of the season till the end of the season Eric Ten Hag did not perform well but was bring poor performance home and there was a need to sack him, even some people said that he should not finish the season, and should be sacked immediately. The FA Cup finals was what Eric Ten Hag used to buy back everyones mind to keep him on the game. He is smart  Cheesy
439  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is your preferred method of converting bitcoin (or other crypto) to fiat? on: May 29, 2024, 03:56:17 PM
Just like many have said above, I use p2p on CEX and I don't have a particular exchange that I use because of the problem our government is having with exchanges in my country. It is easy and faster, and not traceable.

However, the one that I enjoy must was when I use to have a physical vendor down the road, I go to him and make the exchange fiat to bitcoin, but he relocated to another state, so I just use only CEx p2p. Maybe if our government stops all the exchange and Naria is delisted, I think I will switch over to telegram p2p or our local exchange p2p.

On the other hand, not all rich folks have good habits, so it could well be the case that poor people are able to catch up and even pass up some richer folks.. but sure, the poor folks still have to figure out ways to have disposable income, so it could well be really difficult for a poor man who is ONLY able to figure out ways to invest $10 per week into bitcoin to catch up to someone who ONLY sporadically invests $100 or $1k into bitcoin - but still the guy investing $10 per week is still doing better than the similarly situated guy who is not investing at all... .. and so yeah, we might choose ways to compare our own bitcoin investment performance to others or to compare our performance to other variations of ourselves, and there are likely going to be ways that the organized, persistent and consistent BTC investor is going to catch up, surpass and out perform other possible alternative scenarios.
Of course, it is impossible for a poor folk who is accumulating bitcoin with the same way a rick folk is accumulating because the amount that they will use to DCA weekly will have a big difference, and that is why the rich serious bitcoin investor will always do better than the poor investor. However, there is a way a poor bitcoin investor will be able to surpass a rich bitcoin investor smwho is not serious with accumulating bitcoin and he is buying whenever he likes be cause he feels that he has enough cash or cash related property or another assest which makes him feel that it is not necessary for him to invest in bitcoin regularly, consistently and persistently.

With time I believe that the poor investor might get closer to the rich folk in terms of how much is their total value or he will be on the same level of value with the rich folk. This is because bitcoin price increases overtime and it will generate more profit based on the size of your portfolio better than what the rich guy is depending on which is making him to accumulate bitcoin in a whimpy way. Bitcoin have given the poor an opportunity to become rich in future if only they can invest and build their portfolio to a certain level based on their discretionary income overtime.
