5062  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why are there sometimes big difference between spot trading and futures? on: February 13, 2023, 08:39:39 AM
Anyone knows what's the reason behind it? I'm not too much experienced in trading. Why was there a 15% difference in prices on the same exchange between spot and futures?
I'm glad you added that you are not so experienced in trading, which was why you might encounter some issues you don't understand like this. Well, in my experience with Binance, their spot and future prices are almost always the same. The difference is so negligible to be considered varied. It might be an internet/technical problem. But if the issue persists, contact their support representative because I don't experience such in my account.

At the same time, coinbase had way better rates than Binance. Is it legal to buy tons of coins on Binance, withdraw, deposit on Coinbase and immediately sell the coins, then buy USDT and withdraw on Binance again?
What you want to do is purely legal but to what gain? My dear, this will not favour you, just stick to the price of the different exchanges as you see them. It will not be worth it, they are almost the same, it's you that believes they are not since you are seeing different prices, but are negligible. It's when you do the conversion and withdrawal that you will know you lose.

1. Bitcoin provides a hedge against inflation as we all know with its property of fixed supply. so that's how bitcoin is supporting the financial ecosystems.
It's high time you guys stopped saying that "Bitcoin provides a hedge against inflation," it's a misconception in this present-day reality. Or should we because we love Bitcoin and be blindfolded by it and continue to peddle lies? I guess not, the reality is all over the market. Inflation plagued from 2021-2022, what happened to Bitcoin? It could not withstand it of course and fell for it. Is that what you call a hedge?

The only viable hedge against inflation which is clearly noticed last year is the USDX, it was the only asset in which investors gained while inflation was seriously biting.

5064  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 13, 2023, 07:57:15 AM
Congratulations to Napoli for the massive victory they achieved from Cremonese, to prove to people that they are well prepared to achieve something reasonable in this season. Cremonese found it difficult to achieve a single goal from Napoli from the beginning till the end of the match, because Napoli midfielders and defenders made their position difficult for their players to have access to their goalpost. I think, Napoli will maintain this position till the end of this tournament to embrace the title and also make their fans feel good about their performance in this Italian league competition.
A fantastic result for Napoli and this has made them stronger at the top of the standings with 59 points. It feels like this season will definitely belong to Napoli and I think it is very impossible for a rival team to catch up on the points that Napoli currently has. Their next opponent will be Sassuolo who are bottom of the table and will be an easy game for Napoli.
You can't tell. You it's football and everything is possible. What if they start losing and drawing like it is with Arsenal? Though there isn't a contender as strong as Napoli, if you check very well, victor Osimhen and Anguisa are currently on fire, things can be difficult if outstanding players like that go on injury, U never can tell. dropping form always starts in a single match, but the only good side of the story is that Napoli will hardly lose 5 matches which they are leading with.
Anything is truly possible in football, but not like this anymore, Napoli has the trophy this season, and the gap between it and the second on the table is 16 points. This is not so usual in a good competition, the gap is too wide and there is no way Napoli will be careless to the point of degenerating back to losing or drawing in their next many matches. The feat of their players is top-notch too.

This is practically not the same as the case of Arsenal. The club disappoints but has been leading with less than 8 points at their peak, which is why their errors are costing them easily now. Napoli is twice that point now and is still a viable leader in the Seria A competition.

I must say that there is no offer we will not see here, buying an ID is not encouraging to me, and why would someone want to buy a lost ID? This is raising my curiosity about how desperate some people could be for their personal gain.

Wait a minute, is it possible you lose your ID with a custodial company and are not able to retrieve it back? Why are they custodial? I don't get it. Well, this offer seems like a cruise to me, even though the company mentioned is such with questionable service.
5066  Economy / Economics / Re: BTC Silver and Gold on: February 12, 2023, 10:25:39 PM
I am curious. How many of you also stack gold and silver in addition to BTC as a hedge for inflation?
Inflation or not, it's not good to "put one's egg in a basket," which helped me as I was particular about 5 classes of investment in 2022. They are the equity market, Bitcoin, Gold, Crude oil and USDX. I was able to liquidate some of my purchases on Bitcoin later after seeing the way it was performing and added it to my portfolios on Gold and USDX.

These (Gold and USDX) were good choices and a very good way to diversify my portfolio which worked so much for me. Gold and Bitcoin eventually earned well for me in the last 2 months, yet I will only increase my investment in Bitcoin towards the time of halving or if it would reach around $15k-16k again.

I will then hold it for the tradition right from such a low level.

Manchester City vs Aston Villa is an another interesting match in the weekend. But the question most viewers are asking in the hall, now that Manchester City has scored 1 goal within 4 minutes period and seeing the struggle of Aston Villa, will Aston Villa win, or equalize in the match? Since we are talking about prediction here. I also predicted Manchester City to win the game. Erling Haaland is playing well. Let's see the out come of the match at the full time of the game.
After the 2-0 defeat of Leeds United by Man U, I believe this infuriated Man City with the way they are playing Aston Villa. The match is playing more than expected, and in just halftime of the game, Man City had scored thrice and there is hope that they will score more with the way they dominated the pitch in the first half.

This is what I call a competition where one side will show a whole supremacy which makes it all fun. And this is indirectly the competing rivalry between Man City and Man U for the second spot on the EPL table.
5068  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how many times have you intended to stop gambling on: February 12, 2023, 05:23:06 PM
I've never had such an issue that would make me wish I totally stop gambling, but I've had reasons to stop certain kinds of gambling. This is personal, and the ones I had stopped have been effectively stopped by me, so there are no issues in their regard. I am a careful person that sees gambling as a way of making some fun, and if a little money comes out of it, fine.

I will never be a desperado in that field. Such are the ones that will always be regretting and wish they leave gambling.
5069  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: When looking for answers on the forum on: February 12, 2023, 08:36:52 AM
Obviously, there is nothing wrong in telling people to be careful but the approach of the first sentences is wrong enough to make people too sceptical of the forum for good answers. However, you later explained insightfully for those that would understand, and I hope others could indeed get the gist as well.

Still, my candid advice for anyone looking for good and reliable information on the forum should check the background profile and old posts of the person the information is from. New or old members, some old posts and merits should tell of the wisdom of the person.

And to be sure, a higher rank with track records can't deliberately give nonsense information.
5070  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: February 11, 2023, 03:45:22 PM
At the 81+ minutes the match between Chelsea vs west ham is still on a tite 1:1 goals and if care is not taken this match may end with a draw
One points each for both teams, but fairly Chelsea would have won the game had that penalty been awarded in that last few minutes of the game. Souchek clearly used his hands to stop the ball in the disguise of trying to break his fall with his hand while falling, but it was a penalty for me, and the VAR officials should have given it a second look. Chelsea are also lucky that the goal West Ham scored in the last minutes of the game as well was ruled out for offside else it would have been entirely bad for their coach Graham Potter. Chelsea played well, but they can do better as they have shown in the past, when this new Chelsea team start playing better as a team, they will be a difficult team to play against.
I thought Chelsea would win this match. Chelsea were playing very well in the first half. But West Ham bounced back in the second half. However, I have not seen Chelsea's performance.
I also believed Chelsea would win but the reality is what we have to adjust to. Chelsea has never had it this bad since I know the club, aside from not having a good team at the moment, they are not lucky at the same time. With their lead in the first minutes, they should have reverted to their old way of tactical defence since they needed the match.

But West Ham did not relax, instead made an impressive comeback minutes after to level the ground till the end of the match. And was even more proactive in the second half.

Let me start with your "PS," You simply don't need to lock the thread, I see no good purpose for doing that since another person could be lucky to benefit from the same information if useful.

And as for your request, you have a lot of work to do. I will advise you to start by reading about trading articles and resources online, don't just jump, it affects people a lot. It's when you have educated yourself theoretically that you move to the videos which I don't think are different from what you get from theories.

You should try babypips.com, investing.com and investopedia.com. Please, note that FX materials might be much there, but still, they serve the same purpose.
5072  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: whether investing in bitcoin many lose on: February 11, 2023, 08:33:57 AM
It's good you have pointed out your inefficiency, but you will still be the decider eventually. Bitcoin could be used to send and receive money, you can hold it, in which your gains or losses will be proportional to the market price, and you can decide to trade it. These three categories have their benefits depending on what you want, and they show that Bitcoin dealing is not useless in any ramifications.

But trying to make money through Bitcoin is technical, you need full knowledge of trading and investment which anyone cannot single-handedly teach you here. So investing now when you don't have basic knowledge is too risky and will surely make you lose.

Invest only when you are fully prepared for the task ahead.
5073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What most gamblers do. on: February 11, 2023, 08:14:14 AM
Of course, they know, it's just they don't want to. It's very simple, they would rather use it and attempt to gain more money which is, of course, the result is always the other way around. Some gamblers particularly in countries like yours became compulsive due to poverty. It's like they left their future to luck as they see it as the only way to out of misfortune. Instead of battling hard every day in life.
I don't believe that it's so peculiar to Nigeria, it's everywhere, and if one is infested with gambling addiction, then it becomes a problem. From what I've known and read about Nigerians, everyone does things just in any other country in terms of gambling as you can see lesser people being addicted and not saving, just as it could be seen everywhere in the world.

The solution remains that everyone that needs to gamble should be calculative as well. There is a certain money you budget for gambling daily, weekly or monthly if you must do it, not that you just gamble with any money you see in your pocket.

And this advice remains valid in every country where gambling is permitted without peculiarity.
5074  Economy / Gambling / Re: What do you appreciate more Desktop or Phone on: February 11, 2023, 08:05:05 AM
I really don't think that the ideology behind this topic is right a s beside, there are a whole of persons who will prefer to use their phones rather than using a desktop for some following reasons
1. Compactability: is one is one feature of using a phone over a desktop and you'll understand the ease of caring your phone compared to using a desktop.

2. Availability: this is another reason why phone is more preferable over desktop as one can easily stake a game at anywhere and at anytime.

3. User interface: if you'll agree with me that, the gambling apps are built with more simplicity than the website.

These are some few reasons why I feel the use of phone is at advantage over the use of desktop.

I think compatibility is more of an issue for phone users than desktop users. I have never found desktops incompatible with anything you throw at them. So not too sure about your point here. Perhaps you mean comfort?

Availability is basically the same argument as comfort and there is no reason to separate them.

User interfaces can be either complex or simple. But I have never thought that something is better just because it is more simple. It can mean it is less prone to bugs and hacks but the argument ends there, really.
Both of you have points, but you still need to establish a conclusive agreement and not overstate points.

In terms of compatibility, the phone has it, so comfortable, more accessible and carriable anywhere.
In terms of availability, the phone still has it, it's more available and many people who own phones do not own a computer.
In terms of interface, the desktop version has it, you can't even compare the user interface of the two together. I always use the two and many things will be hidden on the phone version which will take extra effort to locate but will be easy, wider and better displayed on the desktop version.
5075  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People will choose bitcoins more if the number of cryptocurrency option is less. on: February 11, 2023, 07:49:53 AM
You have a valid point, there are too many alternatives to Bitcoin and many people opted for them because they tend to gain more from alts than BTC itself. No doubt, BTC is the number and the most relevant, but this does not count when it comes to trading and investments, people will go for the one that pays them the most.

Even with payments, there are many options that will complete your deals in under a minute and with a lower fee, unlike BTC. These are the reasons why people prefer the alternatives, and I agree with them unless you are a key ardent of BTC like me.
5076  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: invest in bitcoin or altcoin? on: February 10, 2023, 12:40:33 PM
Personally i would say bitcoin, altcoins are too variable, risky
You have a very good choice, but in my experience, you have to know how to trade before you gain much from Bitcoin unless the halving periods. The trading will afford you the opportunity of earning from both bearish and bullish moments in spots and futures trading. The price of Bitcoin is already large, holding during a normal time would only amount to little or no gain.

On the contrary, altcoins are many, one can select a good one with a low price that might outshine Bitcoin to give profits in multiples, even in holding.

Newcastle united are doing very well this year. There's a 10-point gap with Arsenal. This should not be seen as a gap that cannot be closed. They are one of the teams with the fewest defeats and the most draws in the league. This means that no one can easily beat newcastle united. As such, they are a tough opponent both home and away. This week's opponent is not a very tough opponent, but it could be a problem. They have to win now to avoid relegation.

It has been an impressive season for Newcastle United, with Eddie Howe doing a massive job at the magpies and doing everything right to drag nufc into the champions league places in the coming season. With good amount of money spent; Newcastle United supporters are living the dream. Would they get top 4 come the end of the season? time would tell
As for your question, the only sure owner of its present spot on the EPL table this season is Arsenal, nothing can stop them from listing their trophy judging by their feat and points already gotten. But from the 2nd to 5th positions, it could still be well contested, which is why I believe that Newcastle still has great chances. The club has done so well this season, and at this moment, I don't have my favourite team to take the 2nd and 3rd positions among Man City, Man U, Newcastle and even Tottenham.

All of them are impressive and any of the ones ahead that make a single mistake now would pay dearly for it, while the unsuspecting one rises higher.
5079  Economy / Speculation / Re: will bitcoin go back to 19000 on: February 10, 2023, 09:54:45 AM
The $19k is not a far price from the current price ($21,843), so it could be hit within days if the market persists with its current downside correction. I view the recent bearish movements as a correction because it will take the market to slip below $15,500 before I would be serious about a bearish trend in its long-term disposition.

For now, I will be cautious on the bullish side, and the possibility of hitting $19k is getting higher as it has breached below one of my important daily supports at $22,543.56, which is an immediate but still a minor threat to the long-term bullish trend.
5080  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What most gamblers do. on: February 10, 2023, 09:42:45 AM
Gambling should not be engaged if one does not have self-control or know the rudiment of gambling and how to engage it with caution and careful plans. Gambling can ruin someone's life if care is not taken, but it's fun too and could even make one earn money consistently if approached well.

Those gamblers you referred to do not know this, and it's always late for them to realize that gambling will not make them rich. It could make a negligible fraction of people rich when luck shines on them. So, those that want to gamble should plan their life according to their income, so that they will know the amount for living, savings and gambling in order to make a balance in their lifestyle.
