4361  Economy / Economics / Re: The New Zealand Pension Fund announced a $ 17.5 million bitcoin (BTC) investment on: March 29, 2021, 04:59:36 PM
That's a good deal right there, even if it's a small amount compared to all the giants are putting up, it means that there are nations who are looking at bitcoin as a good thing. New Zealand is doing this, Miami mayor was considering it, we are talking about not just companies, even nations and at least parts of nations looking into it. This is a good thing for the future of bitcoin because it takes us from the dark and puts us in the light with these.

Bitcoin is getting more and more credible with these deals and I can't wait to see how they will handle it. It's of course not easy to get every nation on board with these kinds of things and expecting them to all do this, but even if few nations do this, that will be example for all the other ones to do it. It's much better than hearing some other nations considering a ban on crypto like Nigeria was considering.

It is quite important that we realized it's a personal preference thing if we want to, and it could not be something that business should force us to do. If a person does his job at home and he does his job without any problems, he could stay at home and do whatever he wants without a problem.

If there is a person who wants to go to office, that means he could go to office, there won't be any problems with neither of them as long as people do their job. I have seen plenty of people who got fired at office which means they were a bad employee and I have seen a lot of projects where people from all over the world got together and built something great at the comforts of their home. It shows you that some things could be done from home as long as workers are willing to do their part. Of course that is not going to mean that we should all stay at home, some jobs require you to go, like how can you be a chef at home? You have to go to restaurant, but the ones that can stay should have that option.

Guys, do not try to convince OP, dude is a known troll and a spammer and he is not after talking to you, he just comes here and writes whatever he wants and leaves that's about it, he barely even reads yours, his English is terrible. Tron is a very well choice, BSC is a great choice if you want to be in defi, Litecoin and doge are very good choices to move money around if you want to. There is really no wrong answer with this, as long as it is cheap and all you want to do is move money around you can do whatever you want.

I use BNB and BUSD because I feel like they are the best represented ones, most of the coins and tokens we have are very centralized so if I am going to use something that is centralized might as well pick Binance since they are multi billion dollar company anyway, who cares if they do something wrong they will always fix it and make it whole again.

There are film purists that simply don't think that film should be watched on TV and that will lead to eventual movie degradation as studios won't be interested in producing epic movies that costs 300-400 million USD. I do like Netflix a lot and they brought a lot of good things to us as consumers (their movie Roma is probably my favorite movie made in the last few years) but its yet to be seen whether that really happens eventually.
Let those purists think whatever they want to think, it is not our place to change their minds. I know for a fact that netflix and similar places allowed us to have a decent situation during this pandemic, they still shot movies and listed more from the past as well, they gave us more things to watch. I didn't watch movies this much before pandemic, now I am watching one nearly every single day. That is why I think netflix not only didn't hurt the movie business, but they even managed to get it better as well; that is why I think those purists can think whatever they want to think about, it will not change what I believe about Netflix.

However I am not going to try to change their idea neither, if they are so sure about movies being so great on cinema itself, let them shoot whatever they want, it eventually comes to netflix anyway, and netflix shoots oscar worthy movies as well, we all remember how awesome marriage story was.
4365  Economy / Economics / Re: Food Prices Are Soaring Faster Than Inflation and Incomes on: March 26, 2021, 04:11:58 PM
In my nation meat started to cost so much that people are basically just stopped eating it, that's not a healthy situation, I know UK for example has cheap meat, but the prices of regular veggies started to get horrible there as well, that seemed a bit weird.

I do not know what people are thinking about when they are doing something like this, governments needs to intervene but I have seen people who keep food stored to get the prices up in order to sell at a better price as well, that's horrible to hear. Long story short each nation has some food that is very expensive for them, for mine veggies are nearly free type of cheap but meat is basically gone out of discussion, for UK meat is very cheap, you can get a nice steak for 2 pounds, but a potato salad would cost you 10 pounds, that makes no sense, and all of that should be dropped in all nations, food should be human right.
4366  Economy / Economics / Re: Powell (US Federal Reserve chair) - "does not want to rush digital dollar" on: March 26, 2021, 11:59:05 AM
Where your post reads that the middleman will disappear when the government creates their digital currencies, I don’t think that’s true. If eventually the government decides that they are going to be creating their digital currencies, the middlemen (banks and financial institutions) will still be there because they have become part of it.

You’re forgetting that whatever that has to do with digital currencies created by the government will be handled by the arm of the government that handles everything that has to do with finance, which is the Central Bank, they will even be the ones to issue these currencies we are talking about here. And the other banks will still be there, they will all be part of it, they are like the eyes of the government in all these areas.
4367  Economy / Economics / Re: Biden planning first tax hike(major) since 1993 on: March 26, 2021, 08:02:46 AM
I believe there is a big problem with partisanship in USA, I am looking at it and I see that only a few people will be disturbed by this while tens of millions of people will be profiting from this and even with that I am seeing a lot of people are unhappy about it. Why? There are some who are afraid about the future, which is weird because they are afraid and scared and angry about something that didn't happen, if Biden charges more taxes to "everyone" you can then get mad at him, but dude suggested a tax on rich people to help the poor people, if that is the topic why talk about a potential future that is not here just right now.

That means we are not really doing that bad with this current idea, it is so good that people can't even make an argument for it right now and only what it "may" mean for the future. Long story short, I think this should be liked by 90% of Americans but you guys are half and half on this as well.
4368  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC dump breaks through 53K resistance barrier on: March 26, 2021, 05:07:00 AM
This has been one of the biggest falls that I have been part of because defi world is going crazy right now. I get that regular things are not falling down a lot, I have seen bigger falls on bitcoin just in the past few months, we have seen 58k to 43k and that was alright, but during that period defi was holding its own.

Now I lost more than 10k dollars, that is really not amount I am capable of losing without being upset, thankfully it was money that I didn't need, I still have my salary and I still do not have any debt at all in my life, so basically I will live just the way I always lived without any change, that is good I suppose, but I had so much more money and now I lost most of my money, only 2k left, that is why I do not feel fine about it, sure it is not changing my life but it was getting to a great level before it all crashed during this bear run.
4369  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin going down $50k soon, what's next? on: March 25, 2021, 04:54:27 PM
I believe options may have gone out, but that happened during Tesla news and I was still shocked because I thought with the tesla deal we would see something much bigger and better in the price, I assumed it would be 65k+ easily after that news, the market didn't really opted for any of that. All of that six billion must have sold their money if it dropped that much, and some other people on top of that and some stop loss were hit on top of that, these type of big falls only means a lot of money were gone.

I do not think that we are at the start of a bear run, it needs to be going a lot better, but I do not know what I will be doing if price keeps going down. I need bitcoin to be at least 120k to buy something I always wanted to buy, if it doesn't reach that price that means I will have to keep on waiting more and more, maybe years before I can buy it.
4370  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: OSCARS 2021- Nominees, Odds and Predictions! on: March 25, 2021, 02:42:19 PM
I do not get why people may think that Netflix would hurt, most of the major names are moving towards netflix, it is basically a guaranteed thing for them of sorts, depending on the production company of course but basically everyone knows what they are going to get and netflix takes all the fall if it is a bad work, hence that is why I think this gives a guaranteed feeling of comfort for both production and directors and actors and everyone behind the scenes as well.

I do not think that it should matter this much. Who cares if it is on a big screen or on your phone, it doesn't matter what the screen size is, it matters only if the work is good or not. This is of course for Oscars, when we are talking about going to cinema it is a personal thing, some people may like it and some people may not who knows but I think it is quite obvious that netflix is not hurting the movie business at all.
4371  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Tether the Best Stable Coin on: March 25, 2021, 12:47:08 PM
I get that some people like centralization, and like to invest into companies they do not know about, but I just can't do that. I prefer places that I know and coins I can trust. Dai is the coin I like to use in the defi world, these days I am purely on defi and do not have any money in the regular spot world, but even in the defi world sometimes we use BUSD, and I can do that with a bit better ease because I know binance and I trust them.

Who is tether? Why would I trust that company that I have never worked with before? This is why I am going to end up not dealing with usdt at all, I just have some 20 bucks on metamask on erc20 that is usdt, that was a payment someone sent me, I haven't been able to cash that out because of high ETH gas fee, but as soon as gas fee's drop, I will get rid of that and will not have any USDT, this wasn't something I wanted neither it was just payment they sent me and not my choice.
4372  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Top altcoins by their marketcap, gainers and losers on: March 24, 2021, 08:42:45 PM
I believe XRP will not be good, it was never good, I didn't like it yeeeears ago when it first started and I still do not like it today neither. However I know for a fact that we are in a situation where we should not be looking at it like how it used to be, it is even worse now with what is going on with SEC. Think about it, I didn't like it from the early days, and I do not like it now, why would I think that it would be better in the future?

However that doesn't mean that list is bad, the gainers and losers are just mathematical thing, plus that looks like either daily or maybe weekly at best, which is why it is not really that shocking, but not to see ETH as top altcoin list is a bit weird, that thing is the best altcoin there is in a long time and not to add that in the top coin list but adding a coin that is investigated by SEC is a bad move.
4373  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: March 24, 2021, 08:02:25 PM
Trade deadline will be a bit boring this season as it appears. I wasn't really expecting something this boring, the biggest news is PJ Tucker trade and you can definitely get how unimportant that was by naming it PJ Tucker trade. At the end of the day, we are going to see some changes at the off-season but this season teams are not willing to make big moves just yet.

Plus, this is trade "deadline" so that means teams could have made trades beforehand, look at how Harden was traded to Nets and you will realize that teams could have traded whenever they want and they are not trading so deadline may not be a time where teams would make big moves. I wanted something huge, something that would make the news, something that gets at the top page of the reddit, but apparently nothing like that will happen. In any case, teams are settling in nicely, let's see who will win it this year.
4374  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I coded a bot that buys bitcoin every time Elon Musk tweets about bitcoin and op on: March 24, 2021, 06:41:01 PM
...What are your thoughts on this, would you try it?..
I think that it is necessary to make such a distinction so that when Elon Musk creates a tweet with negative information about bitcoin, your bot does not open an order to buy BTC. Since if Musk writes that Tesla sold previously purchased bitcoins, I am sure that the price of BTC will begin to decline, and you will suffer a loss in the case of opening a transaction in long.
I believe there is a logic behind it, not supporting it but there is a logic behind it. If Elon writes a tweet, he writes good things about it, and that's why it goes up, if he changes his mind you could be in trouble for just one tweet period and then close it, but until then at least you could trade accordingly.

I believe this is not a bad idea, not like dude who invested 1.5+ billion dollars of his companies money on bitcoin and start accepting bitcoin will suddenly have a change of heart and start talking negatively about bitcoin, that looks as unlikely as possible. Which is why I think if you could be the first one to get in and wait for it to go up, depending on the situation we could have a decent profit thanks to it. Not like it increases a lot each time, it increased like 3% this time, so it wasn't a big deal, so it is not a trick to get rich.
4375  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Online Gambling 'or' Day trading cryptos- Which one is more lucrative? on: March 24, 2021, 04:51:22 PM
Afaik, when gambling has been used as a mean of making a profit, the player is considered a problem player and is not responsible for his gambling activity. Gambling should only be used as a mean of entertainment even though in practice the player can make a profit. Gambling is not really well treated as a way to make money because the risk is even higher than trading.

Day trading give us better control than gambling. When the asset price drops 20%, we still have at least 80% of the total balance. But gambling can force your emotion to exhaust all of your balance at once out of your desire to win money and cover loss. If it's me then day trading is one of the best than gambling if profit is the variable.
I do agree with that, I have talked about how gambling should not be for profiting but should be for entertainment, but some people unfortunately keep gambling based on hopes of profiting, that seems to be as wrong as it gets.

However if you take gambling as a source of fun, you could actually do great, winning is great, friendships are great, watching a game while having a bet on that game makes the game so much more exciting as well, even if you are not fan of either team you would be having super fun if your team wins or sad that other team wins and basically makes everything so much more tasteful. Trading on the other hand is a job, there are people who are hired by companies to trade daily based on the numbers and so forth, that's great and there are people who lose but that doesn't mean that you have to lose, there is no guarantee of that on trading.
4376  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Prepare for the big and long dump this year. on: March 24, 2021, 01:27:24 PM
it is very likely that the current bull run will last at least until the end of the year, so when it comes to the lowest price of the listed altcoins, we have probably seen their lowest levels this year already.
It might not only until the last year but it will probable until next year. The good news can reduce the tension for the bearish trend to happen. Massive adoption will help crypto to stabilize its price after the pump and that is the main point. As long as the market will not get any bad news and it will be stable like this time.
Anything can happen in crypto and you must remember a few weeks ago bitcoin dumped to the 40k and this time it's back again to the 60k
I feel like we are in a such spot that we are not dropping but we are having hard time going up as well, so one good thing and we could be super high and one bad thing and it could be super bad. For example the topic of this year was "tweets by elon" right? Well by that logic if Elon tweets "we will be putting all our cash reverses into crypto from now on both at tesla and in all my other companies" and at the end of the day bitcoin would be maybe even over 100k by such a huge news, that is tens of billions of dollars a year.

However one thing is if he comes up and writes "I started to doubt bitcoin, we are going out" and that would drop bitcoin a lot. We have a potential in our hands, we do not have to drop, we do not have to have a bear run, with just one good news, with one good thing and we are going to actually be doing fine, only thing needed is a hope.
4377  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is now a GOOD or BAD time to invest? on: March 23, 2021, 07:01:35 PM
I would say that investing right now could be not profitable as much as you think. It could still be a bit profitable, but not as much as the people who made a lot of profit so far. So you should invest into the known coins like others said, that way you will be involved and you could make a profit later on. That is at least one method of how you could profit from it, and if not you could try other altcoins later on if you want to.

It is not going to be simple, but it could be at least a way to learn for you. You have to realize that this is a harsh market, we have so much volatility that even a regular drop scares people very easily and prices drop, I have seen people lose 50%+ in a day and earn 200% next day. This is why you should be always careful about what you are doing, otherwise you are not going to end up profiting if you are careless
4378  Economy / Speculation / Re: Don’t Panic IV on: March 23, 2021, 06:29:22 PM
I heard a lot of big companies buying some BTCUSD lately. That is a good thing, dont get me wrong. What I never hear, is anyone selling BTCUSD. If nobody is selling it, why is it falling then?  Shocked What I want to say with this post is: there are 2 sides of the Coin. I am sure some of the "I am buying and holding it all to death"-Gurus, are scaming you into buying BTC, so they can sell you their BTCs. Once demand sinks, they will start to accumulate BTC again, silently, probably telling ppl. to "secure some gains here" so they can buy their BTC.

That in general is not a bad or evil thing, selling expensive and buying cheap makes sense. Just want to point out, that only rising higher and higher will not work forever and not all the ppl who tell you they bought and hold, will actually hodl, but rather try to make use of you...

I am patiently waiting to buy a decent dip. If it doesent come, there is other stuff to buy, stocks and that. With a stock, you dont only own a stock, you physically own a portion of that company. Thats why I do consider stocks to be as safe as BTC, from a "Banks cant take that away from me perspective".
I think it is obvious that we are in a situation where we do not have any big players selling, selling is not in their book, these are the same type of people who keep on buying and buying stocks until they own so much that they just can't buy and simple just acquire it. Obviously they can't acquire bitcoin because it is not a company, but I feel like if these huge companies get into bitcoin and keep on buying more and more, eventually they will end up with almost all of it.

Who could stop the wall street type of places of the whole world buying 10 million or more bitcoins? That is not impossible, sure it would cost them a lot and bitcoin would be a super high price but they could eventually own that much with the amount of money they have. This is why I am holding and all the drops could happen at any time, I do not care about them because I believe they will buy more and more.
4379  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin option expiration week. Last one bitcoin was 46k on: March 23, 2021, 03:56:14 PM
Why? Why not call it a correction even if it is 30% drop? Correction is not just an amount of drop, correction is just a term for price going too high for some people and those people getting out and then new people come in or old people who were already invested keep investing some more and increasing the price. So, if the price (inside one month) drop from these prices to 40k and then goes back up, it is still correction. What is not a correction is the fact that price go down and then stay down or keep going down, that would be a crash.

This is why we should know the terms very well, I think 40k could be a crash or it could be a correction, I think 30k could be crash or it could be correction, it all depends on what happens in the next month after that drop and depending on recovery or not we could call it a correction if it manages to go back to 60k levels again.

All of Bundesliga. I love watching Bundesliga and it is a great league and I like it, but please go ahead and try to put 3 games in a multi and try to win that, in Bundesliga if you do that every week, you will maybe end up winning 3 or 4 times the whole season, probably maybe once. That is why I do not play there at all.

Go ahead and play on Serie A for example, play on Milan, Inter and Juventus to win on the same week, you will win many times, play on Real Madrid and Barcelona to win, you will win many times, there are many leagues like that but when you do it on Bundesliga each team wins on a different week and you barely ever get to win a multi when you combine games. That is why I have deleted all of Bundesliga from my bets, I haven't gambled on them for a while now, and I think I will keep doing that, even when I do not gamble and look at scores I realize I should continue.
