4241  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: switching to fiat money vs shorting Btc as a consistent hedging strategy on: May 05, 2021, 03:40:38 PM
Switching to fiat is for me. I do not like fiat at all but that shorting btc thing is not just a method where you could hedge against a drop, but it is also a method where you could lose money. When you switch to fiat, and price of bitcoin goes up, you only lost a chance to profit, whereas when you short against bitcoin you are not only losing a potential to profit, but you are also losing a lot of money as well. This is why I personally do not short bitcoin and it is really against the whole idea of bitcoin for me.

I am not saying bitcoin will never fall, it does have corrections time to time and we lived that, however I just believe that bitcoin is against inflation and fiat is not which means fiat will keep losing value whereas bitcoin will keep gaining value in the long term. So, shorting bitcoin is not something I would consider, it just doesn't make sense.

I have always said that Cake-BNB is a great LP to farm, I love it. Both of those tokens go up as well and they really make a good amount of profit not just thanks to the price going up but because it gives you a profit for farming it as well. If you did that in the last 3-4 months, you would have easily made 10x return and I know that there has been many things that you could have done 10x that just doesn't negate that you could have done it with Cake-BNB farm as well.

You have to pick something that would give you a good return in the long run, it shouldn't be something small, it should be something valid and legit and has proven that it is a good one. I have few friends who put money into "obvious scams" just so they could make 2x to 5x profit in first day and get out right away before the scam eventually happens, I advice doing that type of risky stuff.

I am not ready to consider anything which are less than 1% as a valid diversification. This way you are holding only 4 coins (all others may have good value too but for simplicity I do consider them as dust) still the good thing is you are having bitcoin in more percentage. I am maintaining my portfolio with more than 95% in bitcoins and remaining are in dust, collected from various faucets/airdrops/bounties.

You are holding ~93% of your portfolio with potential assets which seems you are already doing good still you must plan for long term holding which will ensure at least 100X returns in coming years but at the same time you can be greedy with your bitcoins and not with any other altcoins.
4244  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you run when you fail or loose in a trade? on: May 01, 2021, 07:12:40 AM
Trading is hard. 95% traders lose their money. And the rest have to work extremely hard to turn trading into their own advantages. The process can take years to accomplish
The funny thing is, even after years of experiences some traders are still ignoring to learn but want easy profits. They know how hard is trading and what needs to be done here for success but they are not ready to give their best; I understand them that they will keep attempting with trading with blindfold and they believe they could hit like a gambling.

When you are not ready to face nothing could help you. Running away from responsibility will never help; either you need to quit completely or you should make yourself ready to perfect trading. Developing skills is the only solution here.

This list is definitely incomplete because the coins/tokens which I am following/holding are already having more than 200% growth but not getting listed here. This is simply depicting how most crypto magazines are simply shilling. Yeah, unfortunately both people and media portals are just focusing on new things but leaving off old coins which definitely impacting long term investors as well.

I agree that this crypto space is too vast and covering each and every coins and tokens may not be possible for one or group analysts still I guess there should be some initiative needed which should focus on long term holders and investors.
4246  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I Predict $20,000 for dogecoin in 5years time on: May 01, 2021, 02:06:28 AM
Glad that you've used the word maybe, that means you are not sure about the possibility that Dogecoin can really reach $20k, I still consider this a hype coin in the bull run, I don't see any innovation or new features on Dogecoin it will eventually stabilize or even go down, it depends on the market but $20k even in ten years is not attainable.
Yeah, OP was here just with blind speculation as they were not providing any reasoning for their statements. If they provide such speculation for any other coins, I guess most people might move on simply whereas some people may still believe into Elon Musk's potential to pump dogecoins for another 3x20,000 levels so that one dogecoin may value $20,000 levels in next 5 years. Even Elon Musk's main business is P&D, I doubt about that. He may switch over all his attention into something new at any time.

Even if you provide me any speculation on dogecoin reaching $50 or $100 also will surprise me. I am just watching how long it may take to test $1 level; the actual fact is it may get into there within this bull rally or may not as well; it has equal chances.
4247  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is BNB is at it's peak price? on: May 01, 2021, 01:32:06 AM
I believe BNB can still go up in price up to $ 1000. Or you can also sell some of the BNB you have when the price hit $ 700, because usually before going higher, BNB will experience a correction first, so you can buy BNB again if BNB is corrected.
Not just $1000, I speculate BNB is targeting to reach the second place on coinmarketcap. With slightly higher circulating supply than ethereum, I guess even price ranges around 0.025 to 0.03BTC will be enough for BNB to rank second after bitcoin. I guess BNB is certainly moving toward that level right now.

Probably there might be some correction but I am sure that cannot be significant for OP kind of people who are holding at least from $500 levels to current price levels. It is confirmed that BNB is into strong bullish mode which may last for next 7 to 10 months as well.

Current network fees for transferring erc-20 tokens like FUN has been reduced lately and lower than BTC now.
  • Fast Ethereum fees $8
  • Fast Bitcoin fees $12
Just check how much Binance charges for withdrawal fee per coin/token.

If you want to avoid exchange fees, you can sell it for BTC first as suggested above and transfer them to Safepal wallet using Binance Smart Chain (BEP20). From there, trade it back to FUN and send to FB.
Just because it is cheaper than the most expensive coin doesn't mean that it is cheap. I mean we are talking about BSC here and TRX as well, both of those are nearly free compared to ETH and that is what people are talking about as an alternative option.

I do not have too much FUN for example, so if I wanted to take mine out I would have to pay nearly 10% of all my FUN token worth just to withdraw, I do not think that is necessary so I am keeping it in there, but I do really want to change some things around if I can, if it was BSC for example I would have taken it out already. Right now I am just accumulating, whatever affiliate income I get goes directly towards Fun tokens every day, when it reaches to a point where it is 1% of all worth, doesn't matter if it is btc, eth or bnb I will withdraw, but if it is now, that would make it a lot easier for me.
4249  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: April 30, 2021, 08:17:31 PM
Nobody expected this kind of a result I assume. After Barcelona ended first half 1-0 ahead, I'm sure that most of the people thought that they would crush Granada in the second half and win this. However, there was a shocking result after the final whistle. Last weeks will be really exciting. Sevilla also have a chance for the title but I see them having the least chance.
This has been Barcelona all year, first they go "you can't drop us out of contention, we will win every possible game and fight for a title!!!" then just as they come close and nearly get to the top, they suddenly become "you know what we changed our minds, we  don't want to go to top" and lose games. This has happened a few times now, I really do not see how they could lose to Granada in such an important game, not like they are an inexperienced team, they are quite good and have always been good, but this season has been very very weird for them, they won so many games, and lost to much worse teams on the most unexpected moments.

It is really weird to see. In any case I think they still have a good chance, only 2 point difference, both Barcelona and Real have a chance to become champions, ATM couldn't hold the gap so they may go down, hell even Sevilla is now pretty close Cheesy.

Vault is not suppose to be something that you keep gaining money, it is suppose to be something "if you are a gambler, and you are not currently gambling, you can put it in here" type of deal

Its kinda similar to rakeback that is very common in most sites but the the amount of the 'rakeback' you will get from the vault will be depending on the amount of The Vault and your share of that vault ( percentage of chips you owned ).
I cant fully agree if you say the vault in chips is similar to rakeback in most other sites as it is completely different.
Rakeback is something fixed, calculated based on the rakeback percentage and wagered amount by players while vault in chips is not fixed as the amount will always depending on the vault balance.
Vault may give someone bigger amount than rakeback when the vault balance is big but it may less amount than rakeback when the vault balance is small or even negative.
That's true, plus in rakeback you have to keep gambling to earn money back, whereas if your money is in the vault you just earn something, what you earn changes of course but you earn something, that is the important part. That is why I do not think that it will really be something similar with rakeback, they are totally different. This doesn't mean that rakeback is better or vault is better, they are both good or bad depending on where you are looking at and I do not see any big difference in favorability for me, it is totally the same value for me. Doesn't matter if it is rakeback or vault in the sense that I do not like one more than the other, once again I do agree that they are totally different things, but just because they are different doesn't mean that one is better to me, which is why I do not see any problems with either of them.

Earlier in a post I mentioned about the wagering contest. During the last days we can see whales making big change in the wagering and leading the contest. Now you can see the whales making changes in the top list with the massive difference in the wager. Right now there is more than 10% difference between the first and the second. The time is running out, and I beleive he's the winner.
On the last hour, that is the most important part, on the last hour you are going to see a huuuuuuge war, the top positions will be going up insane, I have even watched one that went 3x in the last hour as well because people were fighting to be the top place. So, let's wait and see but I am pretty sure it is going to be so so much more.

People do not like to show their true colors on the last moment, they like to wait and see what is going to happen first and when the time comes and there is a huge battle that goes on at the last periods to show which one is richer and can wager more. It is not always decided on the last second, think of it like auction house, if someone wagers so much that others just decide to give up, that may happen as well, but until that moment people all gamble and wager and try to reach to their maximum level and see if their max level is good enough to be first.
4252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: April 30, 2021, 07:20:36 PM
Everyone cares about the standings way too much. Right now Suns have a chance to become number one in the west, do you really really believe that they are that good? I mean think about it, this is Suns we are talking about and even with CP3 on the team I do not think that they will go too much in the playoffs. This is why I think it is obvious that we should not care about standings.

You look at the east and Nets are number one and they might end up becoming champions, you look at west and you see Utah and they may end up not even be in conference finals, long story short never judge a season by the standings, but what people can do in playoffs. I still have a big feeling about Lakers, they will have Lebron back and with some more conditioning that team will become much much better, they will probably end up being in at least conference finals once again.
4253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread on: April 30, 2021, 06:36:02 PM
The games are very close to each other, it is good that we are going to have another one right away so soon. Everyone is still unsure about what is going to happen with the games, let's be honest we have seen 3-0 first games being nothing with 4-0 return games so teams never give up after first game, I understand that and it makes sense.

However we have to realize that Real is a much much better team, does this mean Chelsea can't be in the finals? Obviously not, they will not be backing down neither, and they have a chance to win, every team has a chance to win, that is what makes football fun, however we are talking about the better team winning the first game and then playing again, obviously it is going to be a lot more understandable if Real ended up winning. I believe it is not going to be any different with City game neither, City is a good team and sure PSG is also good and can win, but anyone who beats the opponent on first game has a big advantage.
4254  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you stick to your trading plans on: April 30, 2021, 06:24:24 PM
Sometimes I do get tempted when seeing unexpected new opportunities but if my technical analysis not showing anything like that then I will simply leave off that.
You sound like having plenty of experiences in crypto trading and because of that only you are able to leave off those opportunities which are happening outside of your technical. Have checked how much you might have gained or lost of you have gone for entering positions on those opportunities? Sticking within our trading plans is always good, but sometimes unexpected opportunities may lead to unimaginable profits as well.

I am not saying trading without plan is good but you may trade even out of your technical part yet you go with stoploss. It means you are taking calculated risk which may go either side. If you catch 5 good trades out 10 unexpected trades, how will you rate your usual trading plans?
4255  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: my trading is a fail help me, thanks on: April 30, 2021, 05:17:25 PM
I am not going to tell you that there is and I am also not going to tell you that there isn’t, and that’s because I have not really seen any of these happen while I am there.

I haven’t seen any Facebook group that’s giving out signals to anyone just like that and also if there is anyone that really knows the market and where it’s heading to, I don’t think they are going to be on Facebook and giving out the signals for free?? they are definitely going to be in a platform where they will be able to have limited members who will be paying them for what they are doing.
4256  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Control your trading emotional outburst and get yourself together! on: April 30, 2021, 08:18:36 AM
most traders are getting into trading directly after developing skills on technical analysis but failing to evaluate their own control on emotions.
That is because we are not having any specialized tool to evaluate our emotions and its controlling capability. Only thing we can do is just practicing emotion control along with while developing technical skills. But, people mostly focus on developing technical skills and leaving off gaining control over their emotions.

Probably the only way to avoid this is to stand up from the computer and do something else for a while, and to come back later and try your thing!
Yeah, taking breaks in between trades is highly recommended but traders out of pressures they do forget it getting tied themselves into their computers.

bringing your full interest to this business allows you to understand every specific factors that affects this market.
Your level of dedication definitely leads to your level of success with crypto trading. People who are failing to dedicate their time and efforts always leaving off crypto trading over the time with losses. When you are not ready to dedicate yourself for learning and practicing for crypto trading then never think about becoming a crypto trader.

There is a logic that some people do not want any risks, and just want to spend money and get what they want to get. I do agree that it will not go over that price, and more probable possibility is that it will be under that price for sure, miners will drop the price by selling it, not like they care about that too much. However if it was ever higher, that means someone bought it at higher price thinking that would be better for them to not risk anything, and have a ready set calculation with the amount they have instead of "maybe" that they would have otherwise.

You can buy a lot of ETH mining equipment today, even at super high prices they do make themselves back in 12 months at worst case, or even 24 months if you want to make it insanely expensive, but after that it is pure profit, why not take out a 100k loan and rake in cash after 2 years? Because most people do not bet on the uncertainty.
The difference between spending money on ETH mining versus "mining" here is the fact that it is more digital here, ETH is more physical, it requires a lot of technical knowledge or at least someone who knows it or maybe at worst you need to watch and learn and research, here you just get it and hold it, it is not technical and it is quite simple. I do agree with the part where people may want to buy, however it will be based on ease of income and that's it.

There are tons of people I know who made a good amount of money during this bull run and almost all of them diversify their portfolio, not in the sense that they buy a lot of different coins as the only diversification, they do that but they also put it in many different places as well. This is why I think there could be people who would be interested here as well, it is another option to make some profits.

two new rumors from the bundesliga...
rbl wants to reinvest the millions in new players and eintracht frankfurt thinks about a player swap

Quote
According to a report by kicker (Thursday print edition), the money received for Nagelsmann will be invested in a new forward. According to Transfermarkt info, that forward is Marsch's current player Patson Daka.
https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/rb-leipzig-to-re-invest-nagelsmann-money-daka-target-number-1-/view/news/384249

Quote
Everybody has his goals and his dreams," Eintracht Frankfurt striker André Silva said in an interview with Transfermarkt when asked about his future. "I am like this; I put hard work in every day to achieve my goals." Those statements could be interpreted as a desire to leave Frankfurt at the end of the season for a bigger club. There are plenty of clubs interested, and the hottest candidate is Real Madrid. According to a report by Bild, the Eagles are currently looking at a trade deal that would keep Luka Jović permanently in Germany.
https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/eintracht-frankfurt-want-to-keep-jovi%C4%87-andre-silva-to-real-madrid-/view/news/384245
Andre Silva is definitely a good player, that's for sure, but I am not sure if he is ready for the top clubs, maybe he should go to a club that is a bit more like.. champions league level but not champions league winner contender club just yet. I do not see him as the striker for a team that may end up winning champions league. Real has Benzema and I know that he is getting older so they are looking for a replacement, however Andre Silva is no Haaland, I think he should not be at the very top clubs.

For example instead of Bayern, think of Leipzig, instead of Real think of Athletico, instead of City think of Chelsea, I mean these are still very very good teams, and he can prove that he could be good there as well, if he proves that he is good there as well, that means he is going to be decent for sure in the bigger clubs as well.

There is no way to stop those gamblers who don't have the control to manage their funds properly. ‘ralle14’ have already given you an answer but it can only be used in auto bet. Manual betting is fully depends on the bettor and there is no way to set max bet limit in manual betting. But you can disable max bet option, it will help a bit to those kind of gambler. Beside that you can make the best use of vault feature. Keep the max amount in your account what you would like to have as max bet loss limit. And move the other funds into vault.
I have to say I have met with people who was so much in trouble that they decided to quit, so they mailed the casinos to block them, and some casinos have that so they blocked those players so that they would never gamble there again, to help them fight with addiction. However those same people in return started to use VPN to go back in after some time, because they are literally addicted, and face problems when it's found out that they are gambling again.

So, it should basically be some sort of warning sign for many people, but there is no way to stop them for sure, they will always find a way, if they can't do anything they will just leave for another website. There is really nothing that could be solved by big enough addiction. So, limiting the amount they could gamble would not be solution, they would just remove it when the time comes.
4260  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: April 29, 2021, 08:39:49 PM
Lakers didn't look that bad, I mean we are talking about 2 main players injured, AD coming back just recently with minute restrictions and not playing at 100% capacity even during the period he plays, whereas Lebron is completely out with injury, isn't it expected that Lakers would be bad without those two at 100%? I mean how many teams could lose stars and still be good? You think Bucks would be anything good without Giannis? We know how Nets were, look at Cavs and what they became without Lebron, take PG and Kawhi out what does Clippers have?

I can go on but long story short if you take out star or stars out of a team they will become normal for them to not be good at all. Which is why I would say that Lakers are doing fine right now, there is nothing with that at all, they are definitely doing fine. It would be scary if they are not ready when the playoff comes, that is the most important part.
