5261  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: bsctalkforum can be compared to this forum on: March 23, 2021, 05:34:17 PM
There are other forums that have took the idea of bitcointalk.

But even though there are other forums in existence for the crypto discussion, nothing compares to bitcointalk.

With that condition that you have mentioned, the best choice will always be bitcoin. But you should still keep on learning and make your own research before you proceed buying it.

Having an idea how it goes and how does the market works will make you confident that both of you are prepared to win and lose some as for its volatility.

My favorite book is basically the Bible itself. Because it is only the book in this world that I believe that contains all the facts in this world, even though many objects it and is against it. Only means that it worthy to attack knowing that it really affects the world.
There will be some who's not a believer that won't agree with you. It's also one of my favorite books but I haven't finished reading it.

I'm disappointed to myself that because of many things that I do, I admit that I lack time reading it which I should allocate time for it to meditate.

Many companies and positions require a certain degree of academic qualifications when looking for recruitment. Managers believe that more academically educated things will naturally have more learning ability and strong enough. Even if those who do not have enough academic qualifications are competent enough, they will not have this opportunity to show off.
That's the advantage of having a higher education. Some may say that it's just a piece of paper that they'll take through diplomas or certificates. But it's really the hiring managers to have that kind of standard.

I've met a lot of people that were skilled but very unfortunate that they haven't pursued higher education or college but that didn't stopped them for being one of the best and skilled people in the world.

There is a very long list of emotions that kill, but due to some morbid tendency those related to prizes, jackpot are the ones that become more popular.
Yeah, and I think the same popularity also for those who have experience in losing a lot.

Their thoughts are suicidal and saw some in the news that they have ended their lives becauss they cannot help themselves anymore.

Either of the two, it is tragic and sad.

For the winner, it's tragic because his life was cut short of the emotional stress of surprise and bewilderment of the news of his win. Stress is so great that his body began to trigger attacks and if not treated immediately then it will be bad news. For the one who lost in gambling for example, one who lost everything to huge debts and mismanagement, then it will more tragic since the person will be suffering more everyday until he decides to end it all. Most tragic with the person who loses it all.
We see that news suddenly when someone is in debt and the reason for it is losing in gambling.

And having those misfortunes even the gambler wins a jackpot, that's sad and can also be a warning for others that when they gamble whether they win or lose, they have to remain cool.

What's that coin then?

Your coin that shall be known in the market and will also replace the bankers? the bankers don't have to buy those that you have mentioned. They can establish it instead of buying it unless they want a shortcut.

Owning all coins? I doubt it that they even care that lot.
5267  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does Trading have an advantage over investing?? on: March 22, 2021, 09:34:24 PM
Well, it is relative, the market speculators are aware of every movement of the market, they can win in any direction, if the price goes down they win by going down and if they go up too, but it is only when they manage to hunt the movements, they often make mistakes, sometimes they trust each other and they also have losses, which is normal.
Yes.

Mistakes are inevitable but they can minimize them based on their experience and strategy that they're going to do.

IMO, that requires a lot of effort which I think I won't do and would just choose investing over trading.
5268  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you remember? on: March 22, 2021, 09:12:03 PM
That's sad if you really have left nothing after all of those years but you still sold and got the cash.

That's true.  I've cashed out on different rallys and always found a way to get back some coins – faucets, sig campaigns, before 2015 mining (started with GPU mining, later got some nice Block Erupter Cubes and Antminers). It was a wild ride and beside the coins and the money: 10 years in Bitcoin (and several altcoins) gives me a whole lot of memories and knowledge – good and bad ones.   Wink

BTW: it's always good to remember if you still you have some coins somewhere.  I made some 0,00266 BTC in Dec-2016 per affiliate links to one service site – back in that days that was just 2$ or so.  Yesterday, I've found that I still have these Satoshis in their wallet and transferred them to my Electrum … Well what was 2$ 4 years ago is now some 150$ today.  Cool
Nice to know.

You still got some and with your experience, you can still accumulate depending on the strategy that you have. That's really a wild ride and I know what that feels like and will only give me a sigh but as long as you've put the profit into good use, I think that there's no need to think about regret.

Thanks for sharing your story.

If you are asking about day trading v long term investing then obviously long term investment is best. The key to long term holding is your buying price. Buy at dip and HODL. Imagine a HODLer buying btc when it was 3k and selling it at 60k.
That is the easiest logic to understand what holding is. But not all of us have the same patience and tolerance through the market. It is that we are very visionary to the future of the market.

But, as said, not all of us have the same vision as we look to the market.
On many occasions Warren Buffet recommends that we can make an investment when we have studied the action that is safest and that can give benefits over the years. Of course, here he inspires those who only see the market as an investment and who are able to wait as long as it takes to take profits.

If a person is watching the market all day and can predict its movement, regardless of whether it is down or up, he can be a market speculator, trade as he wishes, whether in the short, medium or long term.

Radically people talk about investment without knowing that they must wait a long time to get profits, some become millionaires, in this market the safe action is bitcoin, there is a lot of risk when it comes to another cryptocurrency, also if we add that most of the time only there is talk of Bitcoin, and that the alts are many, the most reliable is Bitcoin. there for investment and if there is market speculator wood you can trade with alts.
Market speculators have more vision to the market.

They can have different scenarios playing on their minds if ever they'll enter to the market in a specific period of time and prices. They're likely to make profit from that action and decision that they'll do.

Woah.

Those were cheap bitcoins way back then. Are you still able to hold a lot of it til' today? I wasn't able to reach mtgox's issue and I'm not that old as you guys. Anyway, their website is up for updates only.

--> https://www.mtgox.com/

The first mail was around the high of the first price rally in 2011.  It did jump to 19 USD or maybe 20 USD or so per BTC.  I sold some of my mined coins around the high as I thought the price is way too high, it'll drop soon and never get back to 20 USD again. Boy, was I stupid …  Shocked

Nope – made a lot of mistakes. Sold quite a lot at the highs of some rallys and stopped BTC again and again at some point. I've sold 2 BTC in 2016 for ~1200 USD each. Some coins were stolen, some coins I've lost to scammers.  Nothing left. Boy, was I stupid.  Angry
OMG.

I thought that there's a good ending while I read your story. I also did many mistakes and sold at different prices that seem to be good and high for me but I was wrong.

That's sad if you really have left nothing after all of those years but you still sold and got the cash.

It's easy to contact them through messaging apps. There's also a video call where you can call them and talk to them while seeing each other virtually.

A simple call or text will make them appreciate you more.

5274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Thailand government seeks measures to tackle the problems of illegal gambling. on: March 21, 2021, 08:06:46 AM
Things are probably going to get worse from now on, there was a time in which money was allowed to move more freely and obviously this allowed those with that money to move to a new country with relatively ease but since then many measures have been taken, but now that something like bitcoin exists immigration is going to be even more difficult as governments will see on every single person a potential threat as they do not know how much money that person can access, so most likely from now on a complete reveal of your finances will be necessary if you want to relocate to another country.
There are countries that would look for your finance capability if you are going to migrate but I do not think that you have to fully declare what you have.

Especially if you are going to downgrade from first country to a lower one.

But anyway, the discussion is just about Thailand's regulation towards illegal gambling.

Build your reputation and trust.

Do multiple trades in the long run and that will make you somehow trusted if you are still new.

Because the current escrow that we have, they have been trusted for a very long time and built their reputation long time ago, years ago.

LeBron should not force himself too much on regular season. When it's play-offs we will see the best of him.

Ankle injuries are not that though to pass. He just have to take control himself on more serious injuries.
Remember when he's not able to get into the playoffs for the first time?

That is why he is always giving his best every regular season and every single game.

He don't want that to happen again.

But I agree that he should be more serious and careful.

Who else is disappointed about Nets vs Magic?

Disappointed in a way of what? Well yes, that was unexpected but I think not all are fans of Nets here so they will just let it go. Surely, Magic fans aren't disappointed and to those bettors that placed a bet on them on that match as take note, Magic IIRC is on a 9th game losing streak prior to that match.

Magic played a great performance and that's it. We don't need any further explanation why the favorites Nets lost. Let's give credits instead to those who put up some good works on the Magic why they won.
In a way that the last game they've when it's only Harden inside played with their bench is still fresh. But I guess the hype for that game has been killed right away.

When they've lost just this day to Magic.

Yes, it's just that the hype with their last match was still there but Magic really played well and I also appreciate it.

Today, random acts of kindness should be put into a video to gain views and approval from the public. I appreciate more those people that have been silently doing acts of kindness and helping without any need to be publicized.

And as for the matter of love, there's love for your life, loved ones, partner, kids, and so on. Love exists and it starts from loving yourself first.

Hi Caross, welcome to bitcointalk.

What I've noticed to you as a newbie is that you know what you are doing and even had bought a copper membership.

Good luck and enjoy learning new things through the forum.
