Congrats is all I can say for now, what remain is activity, you have the merit already to become a full member, you should achieve this not long again when your activity reach 120. We will expect you not to relent but continue to contribute to this forum for you to rank higher.

Activity isn't that hard to reach if you'll stay here in the forum for awhile. Looks like in just a month or so you'll gonna reach that Sr. Member rank, just my wild guess.
Activity counts every 14 days and it counts 14, merit can be the obstacle but activity can't if the person continue to post and have up to the post the activities supposed to count. Awaklarais having the same activity and post, but as he continues to post, he will get to full member.  Also merit is not hard to get, all to be doing is to continue good and earn respect from good posters.

I’ve experienced leverage trading several months ago. I usually do 5x to 10x for that, but yes it’s much more riskier than the traditional spot trading. If you are a beginner or newbie in trading, this isn’t for you. Even me that has some experience in leveraging trading, I had more losses than gains. This is only for those who have the emotional guts to lose an amount that they can afford to invest and trade.
10x leverage is too high and if the market is volatile, it can lead to liquidation. 5x leverage is still fear but not that good and also still very risky and can lead to liquidation too if the market is very volatile against the direction taken. What I have noticed is what you said, it is better not to leverage at all, but having 2x leverage is not bad for me, before it can lead to liquidation, it will be hard. But the question is, is the person a good trader? Because even spot trading and no leverage trading can still lead to losses for many people especially new traders.

Liverpool, Chelsea, Leeds United Manutd ( All to win)
I am always afraid of away matches at times because there is home advantage, Tottenham is a home while it is a away match for Manchester United, we all saw the Man United poor performance as Liverpool trashed the club 5 goals to nothing, maybe this led you to the thinking that they are in serious practice that will let the club win today, well it is normal that way. But I can never ever go for Man United in anything, even the so called Champions League they they are showing some strength that will later fade away if the club likely qualify for round of 16 and further. Tottenham can surprise people, their EPL strength is almost like Man United strength too, I do not mean their players. Though Man United have good away record this season but not worthy of going for.
4484  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ English Premier League Season: 2021/2022 on: October 29, 2021, 05:41:55 PM
I assume that the biggest game of the weekend is going to be Tottenham - Manchester United. Both of these teams have been quite problematic these days. Especially, Manchester United got a huge loss against Liverpool by 5-0 home. I expect them to be out of morale more than Tottenham in this game. Maybe Tottenham aren't a credible team now but they have the advantage of playing home also. I think that both teams will be very eager to score and they both will do so. But we might see a draw at the end.
This is just one of the matches and not the biggest but among the biggest, any of the club can win the match or it can be draw, I can not choose Man United because Tottenham is also not bad at all.

If I will have to choose, I will prefer:

Liverpool vs Brighton and Hove Albion
Man City vs Crystals Palace
Newcastle vs Chelsea

And I will go for Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea.

Now we have some many altcoins that can be use to play bets online. We are gradually walking into the blockchain era. God bless Satoshi Nakamoto.
That is true, gambling was not that accessible to many people before unlike now, but not only because of this has been many improvement, also because of technology, phones where for the riches before, data were also for the rich before, but now everything is getting accessible with cheap prices.

What advantage does the crypto betting has over Fait betting?

1. Most of the crypto casino will require you to go through some sort of KYC. So you no longer remain "private".
2. Such as? Fiat casinos have better gambling options in my opinion. But Crypto casinos are catching up.
4. How is crypto better any different than fiat betting? It's all the same. Just different mode of payment.
I have used three crypto casinos and betting site generally now, none require kyc
I have used crypto betting sites and I like their services very much, they are really coming up.
The different mode of payment makes crypto gambling sites easy to transfer money to making it more accessible.

gambling makes people happy and forget about themselves how to manage not to get addicted is difficult ,by dismissing the thought of gambling it is also difficult ,increasing activities outside to ignore the mind is also difficult
Gambling addiction is easy to achieve and become reality in someone's life but to quit is very difficult because it is difficult to quit is the reason it is called addiction and addicts are devoting their time to gambling which is draining money and time from them. I remember I was addicted for 5 years and some months without getting out of it until I lost so much.

nothing is easy unless supported by the closest person with a calm heart which will end the addiction ,I was also in a position of addiction but with a good environment gradually I become good
The worst thing is for the closest person even not know his spouse, family or friend is addicted to gambling because it can just be a phone activity that can be hidden until things has been going wrong so bad to the extent that depression will set. But having a very good person that can help the situation will be good. Medical intervention can also result to positive changes.

It was even faster in the previous seasons for many sports, but they deliberately added a delay to their streaming service now.
I am using bet365 live streaming to watch some matches, but it do consume datab a lot, also is the other one which is just a representation of where football is being passed to on the football field, but the live streaming gives the best experience. The delay is not that much, with the matches I have watched are not more than 10 second delay.

One thing that came to my mind was to try and use the opportunity to manipulate live betting, but the dalay did not allow such manipulation to be possible. The delay is simply because of the people that bet not to manipulate the matches staked.

I wouldn't suggest "Trading Cryptocurrencies" to anybody.
Simple, we shouldn't encourage a non-productive activity
Crypo trading is highly risky, but also stock and forex are risky, all should not be suggested without warning and rules which are trading rules. One thing I know about this tyoe of high risk trading is that newbies like or do not like, the begining will be filled with losses and depression unless known already and avoid depression by using low amount of money, this is not resistant against losses but losing small amount of money that someone can lose and never think about it will not lead to depression, newbies must all know that, trading is not just easy to start, but with patience and practice, it can be productive, I am not saying leverage trading but just only trading without leverage.
4489  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading with leverage on: October 28, 2021, 07:25:05 AM
Trading with leverage is a very dangerous thing for a beginner, especially for a gambler, because if you try it once, you can't pull everything off.
As a beginner, I was losing my deposits, trading with a leverage of x10, x20, but I realized that it was necessary to trade with a maximum of x5, and it would be hard to stop.
Trading with leverage is very risky, but why using gambling? Anyone that is making use trading as gambling will not even gain but lose and lost more and more if not having the knowledge and experience about trading, even using no leverage is not meaning someone can not still lose.

5x leverage is not bad at all, but it is very possible someone can lose the whole money during volatile market if the price go against the position taken by the trader.

I think it doesn't matter when you have leverage or not as long as you know what it's for and how it can affect your trading journey ahead of you. Most of the time, people don't understand and see how important it is to consider leverage and manage it correctly. It's almost always going to be abused at first, and you will get liquidated. It's crucial to know your liquidation limit with your capital and always understand that it's always going to be like that.

If you don't learn it, you can gamble in casinos instead of the trading exchange. It depends on the person on how it's going to be used.
Trading and gambling are two different things entirely, I am not saying someone can not do both together or choose the one he likes but they are different. I use the money I can afford to gamble, but I still put more to trading because gambling is riskier.

It is good to manage leverage, the main cause of liquidation is the leverage used, many people are losing money and  tired all because they are using leverage or using too much leverage. I started to trade future with 125x, I later know that even using 10x is too much and resulting to liquidation. There is nothing better than using 2x or not to leverage at all.

I am looking forward to more updates on your situation. I do hope you get to control and recover your losses.
One things that gamblers and traders can make mistake about is to be thinking of getting back the money they have lost already, this will only automatically and psychologically set up a poor mindset for them, they will only aim for how to gain the money back, but the more they will lose. What I can tell the victim which I believe is the best choice he can make, is that he should quit gambling for now, he should never bet. This will make him know the extent he has control over gambling and helping him to discipline himself. Later he can then begin to gamble again with just low amount of money which he can afford to lose and never think about and letting bygones be bygones.

But even so, in my view even though they dominate the league they don't always win by big scores either.
I do not totally understand what you mean that the clubs that dominate the league do not win by big scores. This is what I have noticed about Portugal Primeira Liga, most of the clubs do not always win big, they always end with just same draw, no score or just 1 goal range difference between the winner and the loser. But this go to other clubs not like the three dominant clubs which are FC Porto, Benfica and Sporting CP (except Sporting CP this time). These two clubs (FC Porto and Benfica) score very well, you can check their mactes played just of recent and see how they score big with especially FC Porto and Benfica.

Tondela 1 : 3 FC Porto
Vitoria de GuimaraesBenfica 1 : 3 Benfica
Benfica 3 : 1 Boavista
FC Porto 5 : 0 Moreirence

People prefer the normal wallets that does not need to download the blockchain because the blockchain gigabyte is very large, over 400 gigabyte which many people can not afford, they just download the one that does not need the blockchain to operate which are still noncustodial wallet.

Electrum is a good mobile bitcoin wallet app, get it on the official site https://electrum.org

You can import private keys generate on paper wallet to electrum, electrum support it.

You can use android but make sure your phone is not having malware, but using Linux will be better and will be what I will recommend.

Just know that anytime you are online, protect your device, that is the main thing.

When such decisions are made at the state level, regarding the introduction of cryptocurrencies, then I think this will have a detrimental effect on the country's economy.
How? Countries centralized digital currencies are just not different from fiat.

but fiat should also exist on a par with cryptocurrency, because without fiat, there will be no such price tags for coins ...
The creation of countries digital currencies does not mean the end of fiat, both will be existing together

Imagine if fiat disappears at all, what will happen to the prices of cryptocurrencies?
The price of countries digital currencies are pegged with their fiat price, just like e-naira is pegged with naira.

It all started with discovering the futures market. High leverages!
That sounded interesting: Earn at high more than 10x more.
Even trading without leverage is risky, people especially new traders are losing daily, if to talk of leverage, the risk of losing is more, more people lose than gain in trading, then going for leverage trading will amplify the loss making losses to be greater in shorter time. For beginners, it is not good to trade at all, patience for months of learning, then months of experience with very low amount of money to start.

Going 10x is very risky, even expects can lose with this type of high leverage, high leverage is used in certain conditions when an expect would have analysed and speculate the price will never fall and buy or that the price will never rise beyond a specific price before it will start rising. Good to go for 2x for max but better to not leverage at all.

It depends on what you count as nice, can you be nice to spammers? Not everybody you can be nice too, if you are always having a quality post, you will be nice to people that have quality posts, not spammers. Haven't you seen a very good poster correcting newbie and the newbies said no it is not like that when the newbie is blatantly wrong. This is a forum with plenty people, people can not and can never act the same or be the same but the best way for people to show kindness to you is to act like they are, if they post good, you too post good to draw their attention.

4. Being nice will earn you more friends and admirers.
If the whole thing is about this forum, then put it like this, post good and people that post good will admire you and you will admire them too, nothing like nice for nothing because the main goal of this forum is good contribution good posts.

2. Respect the privacy of the forum users by not sharing their  details or data without thier consent.
Information you told a person, many people could have heard it even after you trust the person that you told. You can be visiting this forum with tor or vpn and remain anonymous if you want to be anonymous, if you have told someone about you here, then expect many other people to have known you.

Maybe I misunderstood your post, but ProtonMail requires a phone number or a secondary email account when you create a new email address. They will send you a one-time code that you need to copy and paste before the new account is set up.
I have setup hotmail account times without number without including my phone number, all I do is I used VPN, later after two weeks it will demand for phone number which will be mandatory after some time gone but anytime I want to login, but I think it usually take two weeks but I have forgotten. Proton mail will request for email, but it has been long I used proton mail, but it is still on of my favorite.

lost 20k in 2 days , used up all my profits from my portfolio , and i just wanted to keep on going . how you guys stop yourself from betting/gambling on casino ?
That amount is very huge, even I was addicted for over 5 years plus but I did not lose up to that after series of staking with the money I even thought was very high in amount for me. One thing about gambling is to first know that you should only and only use only the amount of money you can afford to lose in a way if lost you will never think about it. I do not know how rich you are but I think gambling does not worth that amount of money, just play for fun and enjoy the best you can from gambling.

With the look fo things, I will advise you to quite gambling for awhile and then later begin, this will help a lot rather than having poor mindset towards gambling now, a kind of mindset that will want you to gamble more so you can lose more. People are more vulnerable to lose more and all when they have already lost some amount of money, please quite gambling for now is a very good advise.

This is suppose to reduce the pressure on fiat and make the naira easily accessible on the digital space meaning anybody from whatever planet can easily make transaction on the naira home and abroad.
What is the difference between e-naira and electronic transfer of naira using bank account in term of this? The bank electronic transfer is able to ease what you are talking about.

How do you see this launch and how do you think it will impact on the Nigerian economic especially as it is going to help create easy payment platform.
It is like someone is having headache but seeking for malaria drug, that is how I see the e-naira. With the state of things in Nigeria, the economic development is retarding and the poverty rate is increasing but the government created e-naira and embezzled some money.

But again, the way it is designed shows zero to no advantages over traditional digital payments, you won't pay fees but the system will have to be subsidized by the government and that money still come from your pocket.
People will even pay fees, it is said the fee will be low, I still do not know what the difference is between the traditional fiat in digital form and the so called e-naira, the governments are only fooling people.

It seems like the right time to cash in on the crypto market, and for many beginners with limited capital, leverage seems to be the only option.
Trading is very risky, common spot trading still leading to losses if not talked about leveraging, leveraging increase the risk. Even going for higher leverage makes the risks higher and new traders that are vulnerable to loss are the ones that like higher leverage.

Lesser risk when you set tight stops and trade smaller amounts.
Tight stop loss has advantage and disadvantage, do not expect the position opened to alwas first go in the direction you analysed it to go, it can first go the opposite direction and then favor your direction later.

The biggest disadvantage obviously is the extreme volatility of the market which can magnify losses as much as it can increase profits through leverage.
Only when the price is not in the direction of the position, that is why leveraging is disadvantage, there are still chances that the price of the coin taken to retrace.

How many of you here are using leverage to trade crypto, and how much,
Leverage trading significantly got me into trouble after many months of experience, even two years of experience, the better is to use 2x leverage but the best is to never use leverage.
