64k is nowhere near the top of the current cycle, we’re going to double at least before the start of the next bear market. Alts are riding high now but a big % of profits always go back into bitcoin. Most alts are just used as vehicles to increase bitcoin stashes.

Exactly, altcoins may have good gains in the last month or due and been cutting on bitcoin's dominance. But it doesn't mean that they can sustain that for a long time unless we are in a bear market, which is not. So sooner or later after altcoins dumps again, smart investors are going to shift to bitcoin and another all time high for us this month. Currently, bitcoin went from $58k to $55k now, but there's no need to panic here, just how money are flowing, bitcoin-> altcoin market and then vice versa.

I think it is just a circle and gradually the price will keep appreciating. Bitcoin dropped from the ATH @ $64k down to now at $55k and the gains I see has been pushed to Ethereum which is now at $ 3,300 and some other altccoins appreciating also. The circle may go back to bitcoin or it may just be a bear time but nobody will say the range price will head off to.

Just trust your instinc

The strategy is different from every trader. Buying and selling is based on demand and our strategy guide us to rise and fall of the market. Basically it is not about our instinct but also our strategy to determine and confirm what the instinct or emotion is directing.

A short term investment are not really a guarantee. They are good for fast return though but hard to achieve. I noticed there are very cheap coin, even as they are shitcoins but you can be lucky to get such hype. You may join some telegram pump groups but those groups too have inner members that won't give direct information about when a coin will pump. However you consider top coins to invest if bitcoin is high.
4544  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Burning of cryptocurrency on: May 03, 2021, 12:40:14 PM

It lessens the supply of that token which makes it more valuable in due time and makes the demand higher based on the law of supply and demand.

This is one of the simplest way to understand what burning is. Burning is just as you know it and the purpose is to create value around the project. Usually when a coin is burnt out, it means some of the coins not in use and can't be recovered and that automatically reduces the maximum supply of the coin and that creates limitation in it. This action creates value on the project, binance had such and you can see where the price is today.

There are so many kind of benefit with burning of project.

The investors see it as the team is active and trying to see how to be better appreciated in the market and when the burn happens, it attracts more investors because of that (active team)

When burn happens, most times the team creates more awareness and technology on the project increase.

It brings partnership. Most investors like to put money where there are good partnership. Like cartesi in instance is having lots of partnership around it which is helping the coin growth.

When the maximum supply of a coin is reduced, it creates new kind of investors from partnership to traders and institutional investors.
4545  Economy / Economics / Re: Are institutional investors capable of selling their bitcoins? on: May 03, 2021, 10:57:02 AM
Of course yes like what Tesla did few days ago where they said that they sold 10% of their holdings to provide liquidity from the market. There is no problem if those institutional investors sell their holdings, if they do there are many small institutions and retailers prepared to buy it. What I just don't like is the media makes it a big issue and make it looks like a bad news to scare those weak hands causing for the market to dump hard sometimes.

At this time I don't think any institutional hodler will be ready to dump significant number of their hodling in trying to risk the dumping of price. More investors are ready to share from that hodling instantly. I think what can cause such dump is when there is little sell and demand and market becomes less volatile then these may create panic and dumping out of fear can begin to happen. And if for example that there is a bad news from either channels that have approved the used of bitcoin but even with that, price may not drop because P2P is still available for use.
4546  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Best way to cash out? on: May 03, 2021, 03:19:03 AM
BSC is also available for such services. You can also tether if volatility is high and wait if you want.

Or you can adjust your transaction fee lower but it takes days to deliver and it will eventually deliver if you are patient. Pending your preference for adjustment, adjusting for a fee of $2 worth in btc can take average of 2/3 days depending the time of transfer. Like usually you stand a chance of lower transfer fee during of peak periods (night times) and you can be lucky to get lesser  transaction time/ or days.

However, the higher adjustment you make, the faster you can get your coins delivered. The thing is you can adjust your fees anyway.


Many noobs don't know their fav tokens are now multi-chain. They still get stuck paying high fees on the ethereum blockchain meanwhile they can transfer their coins on less costly chains and get their tokens.

Yes you are correct , many services now exist for cash out rather to rely on bitcoin or ethereum blockchain with very high fees.
4547  Economy / Economics / Re: The Modern Mode of Payments on: May 02, 2021, 08:31:13 PM
The current payment system is hard to transform to perfectly decentralized (or I mean using cryptocurrency). The governments always prevent us from fully using cryptocurrency in our daily life. They may force us to use fiat or CNBC (if they can created) but cnbc is acutally another form of E-comercial which is totally centralized by the government. So far, Paypal and other firms work better than the government so I believe they do not want to waste their time on a ineffective project

Cryptocurrency wide adoption means the death of centralization.


The government can only try but can't stop the use of these listed modes because P2P allows for even more smooth transaction. PayPal wasn't allowing crypto sometime ago but this year, they have approved some crypto use including bitcoin, Ethereum etc. This is helping already to make government policies not to accept cryptocurrency ineffective. If these other means of payment were not available, then we can be scared of such policies.
4548  Economy / Speculation / Re: Sell your Bitcoins or die - Bitcoin to $5000 soon - Fiat is best alternative on: May 02, 2021, 02:49:20 PM
$5,000 to me is really a bizarre price for bitcoin after skyrocketing over $64,000. Coins have gone up and came miserably down but because we are talking about bitcoin, it will certainly make investors lose interest and those negative rumour mongers that say bitcoin is a bubble would have more impetus to say more nasty things. Bitcoin won't go that low IMO, we can have some corrections but as low as that is not what I can determine anyway.

You don't need to be over happy about a new project. Most new projects are like that, they are just the same. They have good idea and technology on white paper but in reality, the market pressure don't allow them to have their way. There are different products and very good ones and no need to go look for new projects. Which projects can be abandoned for bitcoin? Is the question?
4550  Economy / Economics / Re: “You don’t spend money now, you can’t spend after you died” on: May 01, 2021, 02:18:19 PM

It’s the best financial advice, covid is the marketing keyword to remind you, if you don’t spend every last penny in the wallet, you can never have a chance to spend that again. Spend until you drop you plebs!

They regard it as bad habit when you can not save. Human beings are not to be compared with animals and saving is one big differentiating factor from man go animals. Animals don't usually have the intention to save and in terms of food, they only let go when they are satisfied at the moment and not that they left the food to come meet it the next time.

Therefore saving is part of human culture and someone who doesn't save is not considered as living a good life.

If you don't save and you have issues with finance or health issues, how do you or people get help for you. If every member of the family don't save then how do help come to safe lives. Moreover, if you die, you need to bequeet certain belongings to people you left behind. It is not a good habit to squander all you have, saving is good.
4551  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bad advices regarding Bitcoin on: May 01, 2021, 11:57:53 AM
What is the worst piece of advice you've received since you first began dealing with crypto? Mine was to take pictures of my wallet seeds with my phone so I don’t lose them.

I had some advise and fortunately , they were good ones. They were advises meant to guide, not to lose my invested coins. Unlike yours that you were told to take snapshot (which are default advise from the wallet apps), I was doubtful of that because it maybe easily misplaced but I choose that of writing my passphrase somewhere. I think that is better and you can store or write them down even in the email. So that has been working for me and till date, I have not lost password to access the wallet.
4552  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto vs Stocks on: May 01, 2021, 06:35:50 AM

Which asset types do you think are better: crypto or stocks? Is crypto getting closer to becoming regulated just like stocks? What do you think will happen if institutional investors come into play? Will stocks transition themselves to the Blockchain? Or is it still too early to tell? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Smiley

Talking on regulation or if crypto has come close to regulation, the world is adopting cryptocurrency but blockchain does not have anything to do with regulation itself. Countries can regulate or limit crypto transactions in their area alone, they can not have power over other nation's crypto practice.

It is not early to talk about regulation because people are already investing hugely to avoid certain scam.
4553  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Price prediction 2021 on: April 29, 2021, 10:43:43 PM
Hey... You didn't add one of the best performing altcoins so far. If not, it has really done well this season. Add the prediction price for dogecoin. Dogecoin is doing well at least for now and can be included in your list. We have all been a witness to the rising of dogecoin and Elon musk pushing further for continuous bull.
4554  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: All Eyes on BTC Dominance! on: April 29, 2021, 09:38:08 PM

- Once btc stops at $70k and go sideways between $60-70k like it is doing now between $50-60k then will btc lose dominance and its alt season again for another month or longer right till btc takes the next leg up to $80k right?


I do think that the high price doesn't really determine the amount of bitcoin dominance because other coins too will rise in value just like bitcoin. For making example, Ethereum too has its own dominance, likewise bnb. So all of them have little percentage of dominance they have in the market. Therefore, if bitcoin increase to $70k, the dominance may rise or still be in same position because others too could rise in dominance or fall, so it depends.
4555  Economy / Speculation / Re: New Bitcoin support! Fall or rise? on: April 29, 2021, 07:55:11 PM
In the past ,I have read the speculation about the real value of bitcoin and nobody could estimate such and that is still difficult to predict till date because bitcoin is decentralised, not regulated and price can only be speculated. In recent past we were in the area of $20,000 but a year ago till now has seen a high growth despite analysis on real value. The real value of bitcoin is not known and predicting a fall because of fear of real value may be beating around price and prediction because it is unknown.
What is meant by real value? There are several factors that can determine the real value of an asset such as the utility value of an asset, the level of satisfaction if it is used, their number and also other things. but in this respect, bitcoin is very different from what we learn. The first is like you said, because bitcoin is decentralized, then bitcoin is also currently very influenced by trends, so the fluctuation value is quite high. determining the real value of bitcoin will be quite difficult and even nearly impossible if we can't find a fixed parameter that we can use

And seriously there may not be any parameter to determine bitcoin value in price. This is because of the decentralised pattern that no body can regulate it. If it was not a community project, then you can wake up to see such but satoshi left the stage on bitcoin after accomplishing that.
4556  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you run when you fail or loose in a trade? on: April 29, 2021, 05:59:45 PM
A man that runs away from its challenges will meet same challenge upfront. Trading is not easy and not everyone should be involved in it. Many people are greedy because they feel that money can be made from trading but not every body have the passion. A trading investment is really volatile and everybody can't handle it.
4557  Economy / Economics / Re: Biden's IRS Plans Could Boost Crypto Adoption on: April 29, 2021, 01:51:11 AM
Tax is one major way that the government generate money to finance her project and if people are running into cryptocurrency to evade payment of tax, I think the government should enact a law to include taxing in crypto to enable tracking of such money that would have come through taxing.
However , Biden trying to increase rate for rich and poor is to try and reduce inequality among the populace and that can reflect in investment capacity.
4558  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which coin do you invest and which coin in May to have a good profit? on: April 28, 2021, 05:07:04 PM
I don't think may will be a bull time for cryptocurrency except if bitcoin is bull because the momentum for bull is dropping gradually this ending. However, what is the analysis of bgl, holo. I heard bgl had a fork and currently running bounty on the forum.
4559  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin do the same scenario in 2018 ? on: April 28, 2021, 03:55:54 PM
No, we are not in the same situation. There is a very strong fiat devaluation and economics crisis is coming (not only due to COVID).

I think this situation is a reason that bitcoin has risen this high. In 2017, the economic situation was not as it is today, it is very harsh and many economic issues and war , terrorism etc have reason which has opened more channels for bitcoin patronage. Also, there was no covid-19 that has the major role for not contacting it is avoiding constants and fiat passes from one person to the other person. As such it was a reason for the early off shoot of price last year April and may. So at the moment, the harsh economic development is going to benefit the rising of bitcoin more.

Instead, if you bought bitcoin at its high back in december 2017, after just 3 years you'd be forgiven your mistakes..


but, surprisingly, they are right until now..

and, I'll admit, that makes me a little mad .. Smiley

This kind of pattern is what make cryptocurrency different kind of trade. You can hodl a coin in its bear continuously until it picks again without losing its unit even when you are hodling in your wallet. Those who bought at the last ATH in 2017 and felt bad of bear are all having a new story today.
