Each member has their own tastes and will choose different options depending on their abilities and skills in choosing where to invest to save value effectively from the impact of inflation. Cryptocurrencies, Precious Metals, Real Estate, Stocks and Bonds, Commodities are some good options to maintain the value of money from the impact of inflation, but you have to choose the best to invest which can provide big profits in the future. If I had the opportunity and financial ability I would choose Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) and Precious Metals to protect the value of money from inflation, these two places to invest have been proven to be able to provide big profits because the prices continue to increase all the time.
Agree with you. To hedge against inflation, each person has their own skills, knowledge and abilities. However, basically the five commodities you mentioned are the right way to fight inflation and of course have their respective advantages and disadvantages. For those of us who are members of this forum, of course the right choice to protect value due to inflation is to invest in bitcoin because of course bitcoin provides very significant advantages compared to other investments. Maybe those who are new to bitcoin will choose Gold, Real Estate and Stocks as investments to protect value. In essence, it's all good to fight inflation.

I chose bitcoin over gold because gold has “unlimited supply”. But Bitcoin fixes that because its supply is limited and verifiable across the network, which makes the price of this asset rise and fall. With Bitcoin, we don't need to worry about our assets because they are not waiting for us at the bank. With Bitcoin, we are the bank.

It will indeed be more effective if we have a mentor, because we can immediately exchange ideas on the problems we face when trading. With the presence of a mentor, we will be able to shape our own trading character, and of course later we will find the identity of our trading style. This will be very different from studying on YouTube, which in fact does not provide problem solving to the problems we face.
Actually, this comes back to each individual in learning and studying trading, because not everyone is easy to learn on their own, they have to have a mentor and there are also those who are easy to learn on their own because they have the ability to learn by being. self-taught. In essence, learning by yourself and having to pay for it all depends on you in making decisions because the only person who can judge yourself is ourselves. However, with so many media that we can use to learn trading, it is better for us to learn on our own because by learning on our own we can easily understand it without having to be guided.

Maybe what we should always do before learning to trade is to use a trading simulator. Treat demo money like real money. Or you can also move to a live account when you have learned a successful strategy. after thorough testing, learn how to control your emotions, learn risk management, and consistently profit with the strategy of moving forward when you are truly ready. Then finally make a trading goal. Be aware of mistakes, strengthen pattern analysis so that we can find the right strategy.

This is what I usually forget even in gambling, so in the end I would always lose instead of gain.
I used to take profit in trading before, when my capital gains more than 10%, I would take it and move it into another crypto(reinvest), there are also circumstances where I would cash it out if I need extra money to spend.
It is also important to make a plan on when would you take profit and what would you do with that profit ahead of time.
Basically, it is important to have a goal in investing. Because without a goal, sometimes we forget or even become greedy in carrying out investment activities. So if we follow our passion too much, in the end the price drops again and we no longer have the opportunity to take advantage, so in the end we are forced to hold it and wait for the moment to rise again.

In theory it is very easy to understand, but in practice it is sometimes difficult to control when to stop and take profit and after a decline we buy again. Therefore, it is very important for us as traders and investors to have plans and targets. This is to control all our investment activities. Apart from that, we have to continue to learn many strategies, but look for a strategy that suits us, focus on that strategy, stay calm, don't be passionate, and control your psychology. In the end, we can take advantage of investments, because taking advantage of every moment in the market is very important.

you have received payment with bitcoin in your shop, this proves that in your country bitcoin is legal, you can make transactions in your city. I hope one day to visit your country to experience transactions using bitcoin.
In fact, if all countries legalize bitcoin and can accept payments with bitcoin in every shop or business we run, that is something positive for both parties, buyers and sellers. But unfortunately there are still many countries that have not legalized bitcoin as a means of payment, including my country. There have been several cases in my country where a service business accepted payment using bitcoin. Not long after, the police came to arrest the business owner for violating the laws of the country.

In fact, Bitcoin is the people's money, for the people, by the people. Bitcoin doesn't care about politics, religion, race, sexuality, or any of our social statuses. Bitcoin is equal, not controlled by authorities, and of course can be used by everyone. I also hope that one day my country will legalize payments using bitcoin. Even if that doesn't happen, I hope one day I can visit a country that has legalized bitcoin as a transaction tool.
485  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are banks against cryptocurrency? on: May 28, 2024, 06:31:15 PM
The most obvious answer is that with Bitcoin you don't need a bank.

You can make and receive payments all around the world, 24/7, securely and fast, with no middle man, and no permission from anyone.

Banks want to charge fees for holding your money, charge interest for lending your money, make decisions about whether you can or can't use your money, etc.

If people stop putting their money into the banks, and instead start withdrawing it and use Bitcoin instead you would have a bank run.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_run

Then the banks don't have money to lend or operate and they become insolvent and have to shut down.

That's pretty much it.
Yes that's right. They are afraid of the presence of bitcoin which is growing day by day, many have even adopted it and has now become one of the assets that can save value from inflation.

So this is what makes them hate bitcoin because the government cannot regulate and track it. The government wants to be able to investigate your banking activities if necessary, freeze assets, obtain taxes, and so on. Unlike banks, everything is in their control so they can easily arrange whatever they want.

Since it was distributed, Bitcoin exists in many different locations at the same time. This makes it very difficult for one regulatory body to impose its will across national borders. This means that the government or other third parties are technically not allowed to raid an office and close anything down, let alone confiscate or freeze someone's assets.

That might be true, but do you realize that Dortmund has now proven a couple of times that they can beat top teams? With some luck and on a perfect day I think they can beat Real Madrid. Just see how they managed to stop Mbappe from scoring two games in a row. I guess there is hardly a harder challenge than that. If they can stop Mbappe, they can also stop players like Vinicius Junior. And in a final I think everything is different anyway. Every player reaches new heights and there are so many small details that can be decisive.
Any final match can happen and every team that qualifies for the final is not a weak team, of course they have gone through tough matches to reach the final. Each team must not make the slightest mistake because with this mistake the opponent will take advantage of the opportunity, this could happen to Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.     Borussia Dortmund is also not a small team, they are a German giant and can beat Real Madrid with their solid defense.

I think this final will be tough, Real Madrid will definitely dominate the midfield with ball control and good areas while Dortmund will rely on set pieces and speed. I can't wait for next month.

Quote
If Real Madrid doesn't score way too early in the game, then chances are good for Dortmund to achieve something great
How can you say something like this about Real Madrid, you might forget that Real Madrid is a team that often makes comebacks so not scoring goals quickly doesn't mean Dortmund has a chance of winning, on the contrary Dortmund must score goals quickly if they want to win. Because for me Real Madrid plays as a team and plays until the final whistle sounds. That's what might be different about Dormund apart from the squad of players. Just look at Bayer Munich and Manchester City and you can feel how crazy Real Madrid is in the UCL, Madrid has a mentality of steel.

Empoli is leading by one goal to nil at 32 minutes into the match, just what is expected of them if they have to remain in the Serie A next season. But this depends on the match between Frosinone and Udinese that is still without any goal as at the same time. If the match end this way, they Empoli will succeed in displacing Udinese. If Udinese manages to win Frosinone and Empoli also win their match then, to the shock of many, both will escape relagation and Frosinone will be relegated. Tonight is really a critical night at the Serie A. Anything can happen as it stands now as none of the three teams is sure of surviving the relation.
Empoli put on a very good match. With this match, many spectators were very enthusiastic because up until the final minute, Empoli was still able to score a goal and m'baye niang managed to score a goal in the final minute, ultimately making Empoli win this match. It is true that with this victory, Empoli managed to survive the relegation zone and still have the opportunity to show their skills again in the Serie A league next season.
First of all, congratulations to Empoli for successfully escaping the relegation zone. We noticed two months ago that they had pulled off some surprising wins against stronger teams this season and they continued to do so in April-May, with some sometimes poor results too. However, because of their abilities, they got some surprising wins. So I think they deserve to stay in Serie A compared to Frosinone.

Apart from that, why Empoli was able to win was because As Roma was frustrated with Atalanta vs Torino's victory so they had no motivation anymore because the opportunity to enter the UCL league was closed, in contrast to Empoli who were fighting life and death to avoid relegation.

Davide Nicola received the nickname "Sam Allardyce" from Italy because during his time as a coach he was known for frequently saving bottom teams in Serie A from the relegation zone. Congratulations to Empoli for recruiting this coach.

Imagine if Bayer had won the whole season and ended it with two defeats in the finals. It would be a very strange feeling  Grin
But if Kaiserslautern had won, that would also have been a miracle - after all, they are only the 13th team in the second Bundesliga. This team also surprised everyone and I hope to continue to progress. Overall, I am very pleased that Bayer won and did the golden double (without a single defeat in Germany during the season).

Kaiserslautern were definitely living the dream this season, they scale pass through some of the Bundesliga clubs and winning the cup would have been an icing on the cake for them and one of the stories of the season. But a win will have seem to shatter all what Xabi Alonso had worked for throughout the season. Personally I feel like they seems just too relax in the too finals and were over themselves, this was probably because of the league triumph celebrations which Is why it is better not to do  too much of the celebration after winning a title and the entire season isn’t just over.
Yes that's right. I also have a lot of respect for Kaiserslautern and its fans. They have fought until the final which is a matter of pride and they have also tried their best in the final but still lost because Leverkusen is a strong team. But I hope to see Kaiserslautern in the Bundesliga in the next few years.

For Leverkusen, the defeat in the Europa final against Atalanta was indeed sad, and was a very bitter defeat because they were defeated at the wrong time. but winning 2 domestic cups with 0 defeats in the bundesliga is still an extraordinary statistic and performance. A record that will stand for a long time. Well done and congratulations to Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso and his staff.

Carlo Ancelotti starting XI is fire just take a look at Jude Bellingham, Rodrigo and Vinicius Jnr hope they are not planning to do Real betis similar thing that Girona did to Granada and Almeria to Cadiz because with this players he featured to start against Real betis, they may be looking forward to ending the season in a perfect and remarkable manner. Aurélien Tchouaméni absence doesn't even mean anything to the squad and Camavinga is also a good replacement and with what am seeing Real Madrid can even start winning from first half till full-time. I like the fact that Carlo Ancelotti didn't reserve any of the notable players for the UCL finals against Dortmund.
When I saw Real Madrid's lineup I was thinking that Real Betis was about to receive the beating of their life but such never happened. Real Madrid was not even able to score a single goal, this should be the least result I expected from them. Assuming they reserved some of their key players for the Champions League final, then it would have been understandable, unfortunately, they played their full squad yet couldn't get a goal thereby leaving many gamblers in tears because no one will ever play them a goalless draw. All the major teams that qualified for the Champions League this season won their respective matches except Real Madrid. Barcelona Won Sevilla, Atletico Madrid won Real Sociedad and Girona won Granada so everyone expected Real Madrid to at least win Real Betis. I just hope Ancelotti will be able to restrategize for the UCL final because if they repeat what they did here, Borussia Dortmund will surprise them.
BTW, I was one of the people who lost the bet on the Real Madrid vs Real Betis match. It was indeed surprising that Real Madrid played with a full squad but did not manage to score a single goal in this match which ultimately ended their season imperfectly, and Toni Kross' last match at the Santiago Bernabeu was also imperfect. Maybe because Real Madrid no longer have motivation in Laliga so they don't play too seriously.

However, what is clear is that this is a very bad result ahead of the UCL final. Not even 1 goal was scored against Betis even though they were playing at home. All other big teams ultimately failed like Man City and Leverkusen. Will Real Madrid add to this list and lose to Dortmund? If Real plays a match like this and doesn't improve, Real Madrid will definitely lose against Dortmund. So come on Real Madrid.

Being able to win the FA Cup is also an achievement that deserves respect, because even though it is not the main target, it is enough to satisfy the desire to win in one season. But the Erik Ten Hag case is another thing that must also be addressed. In my opinion, even though being able to win the FA Cup does not mean that ETH's performance is adequate and appropriate, but the measure of its performance is in the EPL. This season the Red Devils were only able to finish in 8th place, which is clearly bad for a team like MU. I think MU management has started discussing his dismissal even though it hasn't been officially said yet. ETH still really wants to stay at Old Trafford but it looks like the FA Cup is not enough to help him. And even if management fires him, they should look for someone who has a good reputation in Europe.
Just talking about facts, this season we admit that it is difficult for Man United to compete in the league this season, with a squad that is very limping due to lots of injuries everywhere, problems everywhere, we are sure that Erik Ten Hag's hope process will run well if it is maintained. Because if the players they want fit into the team's scheme, then they can compete in the EPL league next season. Firing ETH is not a solution for Man United at this time, especially since he has just won the FA League trophy and the opponents he faces are consecutive EPL league leaders. Of course, Man United must consider this to retain Erik Tan Hag.

Many of the final matches this season presented surprises, such as in the UEL final, Bayer Leverkusen, who were the favorites, lost badly against Atalanta. Now in the FA Cup final, Man City, which is the favorite, also lost to Man United. Just waiting for the UCL final which team will come out as champion, will the favorite team lose too.
491  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The difference between gamblers and real Bitcoin investors? on: May 25, 2024, 05:52:12 AM
Gamblers were the short-term focusing people, whereas real bitcoin investors were the long-term focusing people. They never think of an immediate bounce or making a profit. They look for stabilised growth, and in between, if the market has reached the predicted growth, they'll take the profit and wait for the opportunity to invest in the bearish market. Short-term focusing, people try to enter the market, unlike the trend. Even at the peak, they'll enter and try to book profit. This used to be successful, whereas the risk is big, which is a kind of gamble.
Basically investing and gambling are different things, although both have quite high risks because we can lose money. if we invest in the short term and don't understand the concept of bitcoin well then it can be called gambling too because they invest without adequate knowledge. In essence, work that is not analyzed well, without good knowledge, especially without concepts and goals, can be said to be gambling.

If you ask me, what is the hardest job? Then perhaps my answer will be the investment profession. It is a truly unique and harsh profession compared to other professions. Especially with Bitcoin and a volatile market like cryptocurrency.
It's not a profession, if it was then I should be putting in a lot of ours into bitcoin investing including my day job, you can do the investment passively so I don't get the idea why it should be considered a profession when that's not the case for most of the bitcoin investors here in the forum. I think that you're even doing it wrong when you do bitcoin full-time, unless you're a trader that can consistently make money out of your trading, you're probably going to be fine but if you're not that then you're probably not going to make it big and it would be a difficult endeavor for you. Also, this thread would probably fit better in the Trading Discussion more than the Bitcoin Discussion. Regarding gamblers, they're not really in the same realm with investors, they can't play the waiting game and the thing that they do is that they're almost always going to end up losing because in gambling, you will always be guaranteed to lose that money no matter what you do or preparations you do, with gambling, that's always going to be the case.
The first thing that must be distinguished is that a profession is a field of work that requires expertise in that field, while our work does not require special expertise or skills to be able to start it. So my assumption is that OP said profession means he is really an expert in his field so he makes investing his job. Don't be mistaken, now there are lots of people who make trading or investing a profession. Moreover, in my opinion, anything that can make money can be called a job, a job doesn't have to be full time to be called a job. In today's technological age, people working for just an hour or two can make money.

Based on this Ninety percent of people in every sector of life has higher chances of looting only that most people are not privileged to get the opportunity to carryout what's in their minds


With your logic, 90% of people should be rich, is it the reality?

Being addicted to money doesn't mean that you allow yourself to do anything to make money even if it's exploiting the resources of money and you get more benefits than those who are actually working for it.

Addicted to money is highly subjective, and it may varies according to every individual, we may need more description to the word addiction here to discuss anything further.
This may or may not be true, it all depends on yourself in understanding money addiction. Because living in today's era is increasingly sophisticated and very competitive in all fields, making money and accumulating wealth is one of the factors that makes a person's life happy or can be called successful. But there are also some people whose success and happiness cannot be measured by money.

It cannot be denied that money is very important to be able to live a decent and healthy life, however if the desire to pursue money in any way without caring about how to get it in the right way then this can cause addiction so that it has a bad impact on someone who is addicted. One of the effects of addiction is that it makes us afraid of poverty, causing feelings of anxiety and stress.
493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Jose Mourinho Next Job (Season 2024/2025) on: May 24, 2024, 10:21:33 PM
Mourinho knows what to do when his team faces stronger opponents, he can also exploit the situation well when his team is in an advantageous position. The method used by Mourinho is still very suitable for use in the modern era of football, it is a bit boring if you look at the total defensive strategy or what is often called bus parking tactics, but it is not easy to build a strong defense like when he won several prestigious trophies with Chelsea.

Newcastle is the best choice for Mourinho future, this club has large capital to bring in quality players, he can build a new dynasty with Newcastle after previously being successful with Chelsea. Continuing his career in the EPL will give him more challenges and be able to improve his name again after failing at several other clubs. One of the best choices for him is currently to handle Newcastle because his quality as a coach is still highly regarded, his presence in the EPL will also give a different color when the Big Match occurs.
Every coach has his own strategy and Jose Mourinho is known for his quite good defensive tactics but apart from that I think the most important thing is the end result and Jose Mourinho has been quite impressive in his coaching career even though he has been through difficult times but I think almost everyone The team coached by Jose Mourinho has made good progress.

Newcastle is indeed a team that is developing, but I have not seen any strong rumors about Newcastle management's interest in recruiting Jose Mourinho.
There are new rumors circulating regarding Jose Mourinho's future. The Special One is rumored to be returning to training in the EPL League next season. Even though there are no rumors that he will go to Newcastle, I think he is very suitable to coach Newcastle. There, finances were not a problem and he could buy whoever he wanted. For some reason, I think Mourinho can improve the mentality of his players, and his decisions in choosing players are often right.

Talking about strategy, every coach has their own strategy and in the past when Mourinho coached a team, he didn't think about playing well, what was important was that the end result was winning. So it is not surprising that every team he trains uses a defensive strategy and only relies on fast and successful counterattacks. It could be said that where there is Mourinho, there is a championship. Where Mourinho trains, there the media will highlight him, and Big Match matches will be in the spotlight. The game of thinking and strategy, increasing the market is also on Mourinho's brain. I really want him to return to coaching a team in the EPL league.

For Napoli, if they haven't found a new coach then next season will still be hell for them. Finishing in 10th place in the standings was very bad for last season's Scudetto winners and it is true that what was done to Spalleti should not happen again. So we'll see who will replace Francesco Calzona later.

I am very surprised and it is a big shame for Napoli to finish in that position after winning the Scudetto last season. As Napoli stands now, they need a total reform in the club, maybe the players or the coach or even the both of them. Napoli finishing on the 10th position should be a slap on their face after sacking their former coach that led them to winning the Scudetto last season. I know they still have some good players amongst them, and maybe their pattern doesn’t just correlate with one another and a total style of play needs to be developed soon. I hope things get better for them last season as they advance to the next season without participation in any European competition.
Napoli really needs a major overhaul, especially regarding player mentality and being able to maintain consistent game performance. Because this season, after changing coaches several times, Napoli has not improved, but has even gotten worse, even though the players left by coach Spalletti have not changed much. In the end they had to settle for being in 10th place in the Serie A standings, as champions of Serie A last season, of course this is something that is difficult to understand. Their performance was very bad from the start of the season to the end of the season. Never mind defending the Serie A title, they can even enter the UCL zone if they fail. .

I want to correct Spalletti's dismissal, actually he was not fired but he resigned after winning the Serie A title. It's hard to understand but maybe it was the best decision, for coach Luciano Spalletti he chose to take a short break without coaching, for Napoli the decision he took was very difficult Now it is proven that Napoli's condition is getting worse. Yes. Napoli should be able to recover next season because they are only focused on Serie A because they are not competing in Europe.

Finally, the riddle of the manager at Barcelona was solved and they parted ways with Xavi. He's replaced by Hansi Flick. Flick, who had previously done well at Bayern München, was disappointing with the German national team. Managing a club team is very different from managing a national team. Flick will have a good squad at his disposal but his opponents are also very strong. The Barca management should open their hands a bit in terms of transfers so that Flick can succeed at Barca by building a more competitive squad. It's not easy to compete for the title with Real Madrid. We will see if Flick is up to the challenge.
Finally the Barcelona coach's drama was resolved, initially Xavi said "I want to leave" but Laporta "Actually I want you to stay here, then Xavi answered "Okay, I'll stay here", and until the end of the season Laporta "You're fired". Really. There is something strange, but I see that Barcelona made the decision to fire Xavi because he made a blunder, how could it not be that Xavi is not good managerially, this should not be allowed to be revealed. the condition of the team's management to the public, it is natural for the management to be angry because it has become an open secret that Barcelona's financial condition has been problematic since the management before Laporta, so Xavi should not like looking for alibis as reasons for the failure of this season. As a player Xavi is great but as a coach he must be wiser like Jurgen Klop.

I think he is a pretty good manager. Won the Supercopa and La Liga in his first full season. He brought young players through the academy and they have started many games for Barcelona. the only difference this season is that Real Madrid are incredible. But anyway, I hope that under new coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona will get better and can compete again in La Liga and UCL next season.

Honestly, Leverkusen went 51 games unbeaten, even though they did ended up losing at the finals, that doesn't mean that they had a bad season overall, winning the league at Bundesliga is already a huge achievement, no team achieved that over Bayern in over a decade, so being able to do that alone is so greatest in my perspective.

Plus, they are going to play the cup game, which I really feel like they are putting some immense pressure on themselves now, they had confidence that they can beat anyone, but after Atalanta I am damn sure that they are not entirely sure.

But to be fair, they are playing a team one division below so it would be even bigger shock if they lose. They will most likely finish with a double, and that is going to be a great thing for them, we shouldn't judge them on just one game.
But what is certain is that even though he lost in the European final, Xabi Alonso has proven that there has been improvement in his first year coaching, the semifinals are now final even though he lost. so the praise for Xabi Alonso is very deserved, and maybe next season Xabi Alonso will make a big surprise in the UCL league.

Indeed, this was Leverkusen's first defeat this season which was very painful because the defeat occurred in the final. However, Leverkusen's achievements this season are truly extraordinary, with 51 matches unbeaten. It will take a very long time for another team to break Leverkusen's current record. I think that by losing to Atalanta in the European Cup final, Leverkusen will vent everything in the DFB cup, especially against a team that is far below them, of course the DFB Cup trophy belongs to Bayerkusen so they can combine the two trophies this season.

In the matches with Barcelona, especially in the second match, Dortmund was very lucky, the number of chances that PSG created near the Dortmund goal simply miraculously did not convert into goals. It’s probably not worth talking about good defense, because the ball hit the crossbar more than once, and Real Madrid’s attack is much stronger and if they can convert at least part of what they create in the match into goals scored, they will be able to win without big problems. Dortmund is a strong team if it managed to reach the final, it’s hard to argue here, but Real Madrid is stronger now.
Dortmund was indeed lucky against PSG, where many of PSG's chances did not result in goals because they hit the goal post, but it must be admitted that Dortmund's defense and counter-attacks were also very dangerous, especially in the final match, of course the atmosphere was very different. Those who are not favorites can be winners, as proven by the Europa League final between Atalanta vs Bayer Leverkusen. Even though before the match started, Leverksuen were very favored to win the Europa League trophy, but in fact they lost badly to Atalanta, and I also lost the bet in this match because I bet on Leverkusen to win. A similar thing could also happen to Real Madrid.

However, there is no doubt about Real Madrid's mentality in the UCL, they are very strong.   If they're in the UCL league, it's like their tournament. Dortmund's defeat certainly felt honorable because the opponent was KING UCL. Dortmund can win against Real Madrid as long as they steal a goal first and Madrid players get a red card. Because stealing a goal first is not enough because Madrid is the king of comebacks and the condition is that one Madrid player must receive a red card.

This is true that most of us who are in underdeveloped countries don't usually care about insurances but for me I insured my property as an average person from my motorcycle, our family's farmland, my fishing gears, personal insurance and anything else because super typhoon Odette that devastated my place taught us lessons on how important insurance is in times of disasters.
Basically insurance is mandatory, it's just that in underdeveloped countries there are still many who are not well educated about insurance, which makes people think it is not important, even if there is insurance, many people lie or make things difficult, making people reluctant to have insurance. In fact, the benefits of insurance are many, like another example of car insurance, if an accident occurs the police can ticket all vehicles that do not have insurance, especially if the car hits someone then the fine will be even bigger. Likewise for all property or business, we all must have insurance. So, if for example there is an accident or damage, it will definitely be covered by insurance.

Moreover, for health insurance, the entire population should have insurance (regular insurance). Living in this day and age, medical costs are very expensive, even minor illnesses are expensive, especially serious illnesses that require surgery, of course very expensive unless you are Warren Buffett, yes no-no, but I think even rich people have health insurance.

To become rich, we must not miss an opportunity, we must not lose the opportunity we have. The action that must be taken to achieve wealth is to prepare yourself for the opportunity to fulfill your goals and also when you get the opportunity to fulfill your goals, apply yourself fully to that opportunity with dedication and hard work.
Correct. To become rich, we must not miss opportunities and work hard. Apart from that, we also have to dare to take risks or dare to get out of our comfort zone. Because learning to fail is good. This will help us to remain strong in facing the following risks. So to become rich we have to be happy doing new, risky things, for example buying Bitcoin and other investments. Or it could also be in business, if there is an opportunity, don't hesitate to take the slightest opportunity, even if we fail, we have tried. Ultimately, everything you do will increase your experience in dealing with the obstacles we face.

However, what we also need to remember is that before taking a risk we also have to learn how not to make mistakes in acting so that the risk we take is successful, but if we fail then after taking the risk we also have to be prepared to fail. Accept all failures as lessons and experiences that must be corrected in the future so that these failures do not happen again. Do this repeatedly, without realizing it you will dare to do anything without fear of big risks.

I do both but I find long term trading more safer and profitable that's why I stick with it most of the time. Don't like day trading used to take lots of losses with it though some are very good doing it so it depends on an individual some do day trading others practice long term trading. Think everyone chooses what best suit him or her
Both are good if done by the right person because both can be profitable so you can't go wrong if you do both Day Trading and long term trading. Take your profits every day and trade long term which will leave you with assets for the future. This is a smart play. However, it is true, as you said, long-term trading has smaller risks and is certainly very profitable compared to daily trading which will make you experience losses if you don't really understand and read the market correctly.

Day trading, as a whole, seems very scary to me. So I tend to stick to long term trading, but it is very interesting to see how day trading works when done correctly by people who are so skilled that they can make consistent profits. So this comes back to each of us in choosing a strategy according to the abilities we have.
