541  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do not get scammed by this, specially newcomers. on: November 12, 2023, 10:32:47 PM
I saw something on Quora that worried me. Someone said that he lost 1200 BTC to scammers. Then, I saw some people sharing/claiming to be experts in recovering lost bitcoin. They shared their contact details like Telegram IDs and WhatsApp numbers.

I have a suspicion that the person who lost the BTC might be the same one giving out those contact details or advices. They could be trying to trick others in the future who search for help online. Google might suggest similar questions on Quora, and people could end up sharing their private keys with scammers.

So, if you are new to all this, be careful. Don't trust random people claiming to be experts on Quora or anywhere else. They might just be trying to get your private information.

i'm furious with the story that's in the OP, every day we are always faced with fraudsters on the internet, they will never know anything before they get a fat victim.  always verify new things that we encounter, if there are difficulties, don't trust anyone 100%, especially if they ask for a private key or password.  Fraudsters will always disguise themselves as good people, so you yourself must maintain the security of your personal wallet, don't let your carelessness cause you to lose all the bitcoin you have.
542  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are some things you should always avoid while gambling ? on: November 12, 2023, 07:34:18 PM
Let us discuss in this thread the things one should completely avoid while gambling. Here are some suggestions according to me :


1) Do not gamble in work area : It is not ethical to do so. Your employer is paying you to work for him for certain hours. If you waste these hours for gambling, it is a bad habit.

2) Do not take loan to gamble: Some young guys are so irresponsible that they take loans to gamble. It is a very bad move and can even produce life threatening conditions in future when loan recover agents knock your door.
in your life, you are obliged to have things that you keep secret and cannot be made public, especially if you are an employee in a large company and are in the finance division, to be honest, if i were the boss of a large company, i would immediately fire employees who gamble, i don't want the work environment to be contaminated by gamblers, usually people who are addicted to gambling have narrow minds so keeping them away from the work environment is a perfect move.  and in number 2 you are also right, don't gamble with borrowed money, you will only lose more and more money, the lenders will continue to charge you.

So if a gambler where to go into bitcoin trading, do you think that the experience of taking risk in gambling will be an added advantage to face the risk of bitcoin trading?
i never thought how a gambler could be a good bitcoin trader because they both have different focuses.  however, i am aware that the education that each person receives is different, so i am not surprised by the views of people out there who still think that trading is an activity that is not much different from gambling.  If you are a slot addict then don't expect to be a good trader because you will definitely only depend on luck, trading is not an easy buying/selling activity, there are many considerations and knowledge that must be mastered to become a good trader which makes good profits.
544  Economy / Economics / Re: Being rich = not looking at price tag on: November 11, 2023, 09:43:06 PM
I often read people saying they want to earn enough money so they don't have to look at price tag of product. Imo, even if you are rich you wouldn't want to spend money on things that are not worthy of price being paid.

You wanna look at product and then it's price, if it's worthy of price, you purchase the product.
If you are truly someone who creates wealth with your own hands then you will think long and hard about buying a product, but if you have never generated your own wealth (your wealth comes from inheritance or other people) then you will definitely buy products carelessly because you think that money is easy to make.  Nowadays earning money is not easy, that's why i'm fed up with influencers who claim that making money is very easy, they seem to be mocking people who are working hard for their lives.  then a wise person will definitely use carefully every cent they have.
545  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 11, 2023, 09:28:42 PM
The first half was over and this two goal lead should have been a surefire win for Milan. As hosts, Lecce actually performed very well and could match Milan, but in fact they had to concede two goals scored by Giroud and Reijinders. I think this will be a victory for Milan after they haven't won in the previous 3 matches and this will also secure their place back in 3rd place in the standings. But Milan still can't be happy with this 2 goal lead and at least they have to score another goal to give them 3 definite points in this away match.
Milan failed to maintain their lead in the first half, even though they were already leading 2-0 in the first half, Lecce also actually played very well, as the host i really liked the change in strategy made by Aversa in the second half so they were able to score 2 goals to equalize the score with Milan.  Because of this defeat, the points between Milan and Napoli are only 2 points apart, While Napoli will face Empoli later, there is a big chance for Napoli to win that match (Moreover, Empoli is still in the relegation zone), Napoli will definitely shift Milan's position in 3rd place.



546  Economy / Economics / Re: The impact of war on global economy. on: November 11, 2023, 07:39:52 PM
1. Increase in the national GDP is least likely to be caused by a war.
2. Oil is considered the most crucial resource in modern warfare.
3. War affects the stock market by causing a decline in stock prices.

What do you guys think? Is this true or false?
everything you say is true, the effects of war are very bad for the economy, and if we look at the past, in fact the severe effects of war are not much different from the effects of the previous Covid 19 pandemic, purchasing power decreases, and economic uncertainty increases but it is different from a pandemic yesterday, if in yesterday's pandemic shares of health products increased during the war, it is likely that shares of basic material products such as oil, vehicles and weapons would increase drastically, this is all because of delays in supply and also increased demand.  War will always have bad effects on the economy and also the psychology of many people.
547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: November 10, 2023, 10:12:17 PM
Montpellier vs Nice The first half ended without a score (0-0), it seems like Nice have a tough opponent on matchday 12 tonight, but there is still the second half and I think Nice can still scored. In fact, even though they are playing away now, but the Nice team can control over the course of this match. And there is a possibility that Nice can increase their attacking power in the second half, to be able to scored and steal three points at the Mosson stadium.
Finally the match between Nice vs Montpellier ended with a score of 0-0, even though there were quite a lot of good opportunities presented but none of them were scored, Montpellier's defense was really good today.  With only 2 points adrift, PSG's chances of returning to 1st place are very big, facing Reims later, PSG will definitely win well even though in the UCL match yesterday they lost 2-1 to Milan.  Monaco is also only 1 point away from PSG, if PSG is held to a draw or loses then Monaco will be in 2nd place (Monaco will definitely win smoothly against Havre)
548  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Would you Like Your Pension Paid in Bitcoin? on: November 10, 2023, 09:03:56 PM
Before i got to know Bitcoin, i didn't know how investment worked, $1 will be as long as $1 but 1 BTC today will not be the same as 1 BTC in the next few years, i don't have a job but i founded a small business and i like the stability of the income i generate, but for my retirement i don't put it in fiat, gold or property, i put it in the form of bitcoin of course with the DCA concept, and i'm sure that in the next few decades the value of the money i spend will increase many times the value of the money i now spend.  as long as the number of bitcoins does not increase and bitcoin is forever decentralized then there is a big chance for the price of bitcoin to continue to increase, one day we will definitely see bitcoin at more than $100k/btc (Bitcoin is the best for anyone's retirement fund)
549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler avoiding friends after a big win. on: November 10, 2023, 08:33:44 PM
At one of the local gambling shop I visited during the weekend I happened to listen to a conversation between two bald looking gamblers at the shop talking about one of their gambling colleague who had won a big amount of money amounting to a million in the local currency and due to that win this colleague of theirs' has been avoiding them since e won that money. From their conversation it was obvious that they were a circle of close three friends that gamble together.

After all I finished with my bet headed home and was asking myself what could the colleague act that way avoiding his close friends they all gambling together and just because luck shines on him first he decides to create a distance and class. I couldn't actually annex a good reason why anyone should do that.
You don't need a good reason to explain the behavior carried out by that person's friends, after all, gambling is a game of money and there are no friends or relations in it, there is only profit alone.  In fact, there are quite a lot of blood relatives who are fighting over inheritance issues, so what the man's friend did was actually quite natural, from this incident the man had to learn to manage his circle of friends well, let not him become friends again with someone like that because of that if he continues to be friends with that person, he won't get any luck, just bad luck always.
550  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Know how to use Fundamental and Technical Analysis on: November 10, 2023, 07:12:18 PM
So, my friend who just started trading asked me which is better Fundamental and Technical Analysis. So, this is the reply I gave which I also decided to share with others who don't know how this works hand in hand.

Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis are not inherently better than each other. Fundamental Analysis allows you to assess the potential direction of a coin's price, whether it's bearish or bullish. For instance, you can observe how Bitcoin's price has responded to positive news, which you can find on exchanges news insights, as well as popular news apps. Technical Analysis comes into play to further analyze price movements. Is just as easy as that.


Fundamental tells you what to do, while Technical tells you when to do it
without good fundamental analysis, your final trading decision will be in vain, and without good technical analysis, your final trading decision will be in vain, so a balance between fundamental and technical analysis is very important, the point is, never be trivial with the history of bitcoin prices and also news about bitcoin circulating in the market, apart from that the other most important thing is risk management, yes that is a complete package to become a good trader, you need a balance of all three so that the final trading decision you make can be right.
551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice for new comers on: November 10, 2023, 05:18:12 PM
What advice do you have for newcomers diving into the world of crypto gambling? Any lessons you learned the hard way that you'd like to share?
The most important thing i can tell beginners is don't gamble on crypto gambling sites that don't have a good reputation, newly registered/operating gambling sites, gambling sites that require KYC (OPTIONAL), gambling sites that offer bonuses that don't apply be sensible, gambling sites that don't have big liquidity, gambling sites that don't have a license for their business, always remember that you don't donate when gambling on a crypto gambling site, don't because you're tempted or lazy to research, the money you earned is hard unfortunately, in the end you won't be able to get it back, stay careful in choosing a crypto gambling site.
552  Economy / Economics / Re: What does being rich mean in your perspective? on: November 09, 2023, 10:55:15 PM
It's one of question which differs from person to person. How do you define richness?
snip

That is true, being rich for me doesn't mean you can afford the luxury lifestyle.
But you are not worried about inflation, rising prices and the likes because you can afford to pay without worry.
You may be not living in luxury, but you have everything you need, food, shelter and still can afford to unwind from time to time.
So yes, this social status depends on how people look at. Sometimes you feel you are already rich if you have no debt from anyone.
The definition of rich in my opinion is also quite random, in fact, quite a lot of people say that the definition of rich according to them is a healthy body/mental and a complete family, currently, i live a quite comfortable life, the business i have built is also quite stable, my family is also very harmonious then it can be said that for now, i am rich enough, while people out there see wealth only as money so that when they get sick, the money they have is used up to pay for their medical treatment. 
There is a wise sentence that i once heard, written that although money is a measure of wealth, true wealth is a comfortable mind and a calm heart, That sentence is quite great imo.
553  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Lost of my capital has made me to have a change of mind about Bitcoin . on: November 09, 2023, 11:22:41 AM

Greetings to everyone,please i am new in this forum and I was directed by my friend to join the forum to get information and answers that I need to know about Bitcoin.
The challenge started when a friend introduced  cryptocurrency to me and I picked interest about it ,I  started making some researches on how to trade and invest in Bitcoin ,I downloaded candle stick bible as directed by my friend so I can have a good knowledge on how to understand the reasons for the formation of each of those candles  And the reasons for their existence,
I went through those stress to also learn how to analyze and also to know bullish and bearish moves ,to know when the market is trending and choppy but after all these processes and following those strategies I will still loose my capital . However, my question here is ' what is the best strategy to trade without losing my initial capital ?.
 Please friends I need advice and answers to this question because I know we have crypto experts here in the forum who will assist me and also educate me on what I need to know about Bitcoin trading .Thanks .
The wrong idea that beginner traders always have is that trading is an easy activity and has no risk at all (it's just an activity of buying cheap - selling high).  The reality is that trading is not an easy activity, trading also involves psychology, analysis and skill, there is not a single trader in this world who has a 100% win, they definitely lose (i also lose quite often) but that is what makes them survive. is that their winning percentage covers the percentage of losses they experience.
you are undergoing a process of becoming a good trader, make all kinds of experiences you get a valuable lesson, continue to hope for your skills and abilities, don't let failure at the beginning make you withdraw from trading activities forever, however if you give up it will be in vain everything you have done, including the initial capital you used when starting trading.

554  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How much could you earn in a day ? on: November 09, 2023, 09:18:22 AM
I dont know where to begin and i have tried looking for someone to talk to regarding this. its really silly questions. Im going to just put it out here. hopefully someone can give me some clarity.


1. Is it possible to make 1% on a trade within a short time frame as in a few hours or a day ? Would that also inturn mean that you would make 10% on futures with a 10x leverage? I would like to elaborate more on this i just simply dont know where to begin. It would be nice if i could have a conversation with someone who has experience on the matter.
i'm here just giving a little opinion about leverage trading that i know, if we talk about profit then trading using leverage can give you quick profits, even more than 1%, it's just that the risk of you losing your money quickly is also big, so i'm here gives a percentage of profit and loss in leverage trading that is 50:50.  You have to be careful and careful when entering the market, don't forget to always use risk management, well risk management is a very important thing that all traders, both beginners and seniors must have.

2. In a normal trade when you buy a certain coin means there is someone else selling on the opposite end. does this rule apply the same for Futures ? Say im going to put in $1000 Long on coin X . does that mean it will only fill if there is someone Shorting the same coin at the same leverage at the same value of $1000?
This is a wrong understanding, if you go to a big exchange like Binance, they have liquidity in their assets and apart from liquidity, exchange have lots of traders who trade there then when you put $1000 (buy or sell) then the liquidity and also the money combination of the trader others will be processed to fulfill your request, even if you trade on DEX.
555  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price $45k by ending of 2023: AI prediction on: November 06, 2023, 08:01:00 PM
Six AI chatbots forecast bitcoin to reach $45k by December 31 2023. From the  article the test was first carried out June this year which it was predicted that the price will get to $45k by the end of the 2023 year, and on the 3rd of this month of November 2023 another query test was carried out using 6 different AI chatbots to inquire what the price of bitcoin could be by end of the year and they all gave predictions that points to $45k at most. And the most intriguing thing about this which caught my attention is that it was same price prediction range it gave sometime June this year when the first test was conducted.
Quote
Four months ago, Bitcoin.com News engaged with six generative AI chatbots, prompting them to forecast bitcoin’s value at the close of 2023. The collective consensus of these AI systems anticipated BTC to land between $40,000 and $50,000 by the conclusion of the year. With the year now winding down to its final two months, we repeated the experiment. The updated predictions from the AI chatbots have arrived slightly more conservative than the June estimates.
So I decided to bring it to the forum to know about what other forum members think about this AI prediction. Is it a prediction you can rely on or it's just one of those common bitcoin  price predictions of the decade we are used to from different angles, is there anything special about this one .
Seeing the uncontrolled volatility of the Bitcoin price makes me not take it seriously every time a prediction about the price of Bitcoin appears, even when the prediction is issued by someone who is known to be an expert in the field of trading, earlier the price of Bitcoin reaches $35k, maybe tomorrow or 2 In the next day the price of Bitcoin will reach $40k or even $50k, but with more and more predictions appearing, market sentiment will improve and make the chance of Bitcoin touching $45k in the next few weeks no longer impossible (predictions are the fuel for bitcoin price increases)
556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you guys believe in other people luck and try to copy them? on: November 06, 2023, 07:39:50 PM
Whenever I am low on cash on the casino I play which includes a sport book I like to copy other people bets,usually parlays with odds over 1000 and I think to myself who cares if I play for example 50 bets copying other people with 200 IDR as my base bet,if any of these guys hits it big I will do to.Notice that I put 1000 as a minimum here but the reality is that I have been copying bets with over 700.000 as odds,I damn love these huge multipliers yet no one has got such one in sport betting.

Of course in here it is not about skill or luck games anymore but it is about destiny,so tell me how many of you are deceived by dreams that may change your destiny like I am  Grin?
i once felt like i won a large amount when playing slots, but when other people asked me what tricks i used, i was confused about how to explain it to them, i tried to explain slowly but it turned out that what i did, started from the timing and also the choices the game, can't make that person win like me..  always remember that you won't be able to copy and paste other people's luck, you have to do it yourself, anyway your luck will definitely appear one day (win with the results of your own luck), be sure of that. 
557  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Believe That Reading People's Bad Experience Will Help You on: November 06, 2023, 06:51:25 PM
If you're starting your journey on gambling do you think reading about people's bad experiences like losing their savings and getting depressed which leads to loss of jobs and livelihood will help new gamblers to become responsible gamblers for fear that what they read will happen to them?

I ask this because, in our country, our government has mandated cigarette manufacturers to post graphic images of those who suffer from the bad effects of cigarettes on every pack of cigarettes like lung cancer pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis

So do you think it will be the same with gambling?
um, i'm not sure i'll give a good answer but i think some people use gambling as a means of entertainment, even though they spend or lose a lot of money from the gambling they do.  anyway, if it is damaged by smoking, actually the shape can be seen with the eyes because it is a disease, but if it is damaged or destroyed due to gambling, it cannot be seen directly with the eyes, the effect is direct poverty.  After all, gambling is embedded in our DNA, only a few people will definitely become corrupt or addicted to gambling, so spreading other people's experiences about the bad effects of gambling is ineffective.
558  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What I did just to invest in Bitcoin. on: November 06, 2023, 02:31:14 PM
About one or two months ago I created my first thread about my regrets for not not getting into bitcoin on time when I was first introduced to it by my friend many years ago.
And how I have made a decision to start my bitcoin journey because I now realized I made the biggest mistake of my life back then. Before my very eyes I have seen bitcoin turn the life of people around and gave them financial freedom.
I must say the truth since I made that first post I didn't just feel relaxed. Firstly I went ahead to read the bitcoin whitepaper to have a full knowledge about what bitcoin was all about. And I was glad I read that whitepaper. After that I took some drastic actions to make my first bitcoin investment. I did something which is making everyone around angry and he complaining bitterly about that. I sold our family land and used the money to invest on bitcoin. Initially I told them I want to sell the land and use the money to travel abroad. If I had told them I wanted to invest it in bitcoin they wouldn't have allowed me sell the land. I have tried educating them about bitcoin but they were not just interested to listen to me as they are all illiterates. Now the truth has finally come out and everyone is on my neck to get back the money. I told told them I invested the money, they thought I have spent the money on women and other things. I have been abused several times but I don't care because I know the money is safe and never lost. I understand that in everything good there must be some challenges and set backs. My resolution to invest in bitcoin is final and there is nothing anybody can do about it.
 
i'm sure there are many people out there who were rejected by those closest to them because they told them the idea of Bitcoin, they didn't get that trust, so keep the enthusiasm for those who tirelessly introduce bitcoin to this world, especially to the people closest to you, i know what you feel and to be honest it won't be easy especially when you give them knowledge about bitcoin sincerely but they don't listen to it because they afraid of being deceived by investing in bitcoin, but you also have to be able to consistently convince yourself to stay in bitcoin, don't give up because you think bitcoin is not profitable at all, look at how the price of bitcoin fluctuates, if you are wise then you can take advantage of the moments of these price fluctuations to make a profit.

How many of you have dreamed about having your casino? Be the house and play the always-win game.

In the past years it was different, people who could build a provably fair engine were able to have their own casino, but now we are playing with new rules, the casinos must have a license and games providers, and that's what people are looking for, and i don't say is something bad, the gambling experience on stake compared with the gambling experience on satoshi bones is enormous.

But getting back into the topic, i would like to read some nice histories from the community, those who only dream about their own casino, and those who make their dreams come true.
It never crossed my mind to open my own casino business, i'd rather just play in it, that's all because opening your own gambling site in my opinion is not an easy matter, especially in our country, where licensing issues are often an obstacle to setting up a gambling business, especially as there are many offline and online gambling businesses that have emerged so competing with those businesses is already very difficult, i would rather build another business than a gambling business, my knowledge and also my mentality are still not enough to start it all.
560  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 05, 2023, 10:41:20 PM
Roma managed to win in the match against Lecce, in the 88th minute I thought they would lose but in the last minutes Roma were able to surprise and end that game with a score of 2-1. Good game ! Although Lukaku missed his golden opportunity through a penalty, but he became a hero in the last minutes. On the other side, it seems like Lecce will really regret it because they couldn't hold on with their 1 score lead until the end.
Lukaku was the man behind Roma's victory as he showed his quality today by scoring the winning goal at the 90+5 minutes to steal all three points from Lecce. Lukaku is a great player with good quality and he knows the right time to net the post. He has put joy in Roma's fan and the club as a whole tonight an Mourinho will be proud that he brought him down to Roma. Lecce tried their best today and wanted to use Roma as their first win in this season but Roma slipped off their hands as Diaz equalized the ball with a brilliant header. This is a goof result for Roma, because I never expected that they will win the game from one goal down and they scored two goals under 8 minutes.
Who would have thought that Roma would be able to score 2 goals in such close proximity in the 90++ minutes, Apart from that Mourinho's decision to play Azmoun in the 73rd minute was very effective, he is quite a capable midfielder, Seeing Lukaku give goals for Roma several times, makes me think that he is actually a good striker, it's just that in the last few years his performance has not been so stable.

Juventus managed to win against Fiorentina with a narrow score of 1-0, Fiorentina played very hard and since the first half, Fiorentina had dominated possession of the ball, fortunately, Juventus were able to score a goal in the 10th minute through Miretti, with this victory, Juve was in 2nd place in the series a standing.
