My answer is quite simple, if he is someone who is educated and talented then he will never do something like that, because someone who is educated will always think and consider everything about the things he does and the things he will do in the future both in the short and long term. except, perhaps he is someone who is snobbish and used to living a luxurious life (hedonism) where he wants to always look cool and financially capable, which he does for the sake of respect and recognition from other people that he is someone who is rich and capable. And when someone is in this phase, they no longer think that living with high prestige is a desire, but they think that this is a necessity so that other people can continue to respect them. And of course, if this continues then this will be a boomerang that will be detrimental to him and his future.

Based on that we could still say that they have a long way to go. This is a tech one and not just a hype one and that means that it needs to improve a lot on the tech side before it could get better. Some of them are not really even AI and they are ranked high up, they are just tokens that people promoted a lot, simply high due to marketing and will go down. So that is why we should be careful about it.

I believe that we are going to end up with something that should be important to promote, and that means we are going to end up with something that should be easier to handle on the long run as well. I get that it s not going to be easy to handle, but we could make it work one way or another in the end if we know what we are doing.

Anyway, this is an area that promises a lot in human life, not just in the crypto market. When a trend appears, the hype will happen and it will increase even more than we see in bull market periods, but we also need to improve our skills to avoid FOMO according to these methods trends or low quality projects.
The current time is also a quite sensitive period to talk about board with AI, but I think it will take a little more time to clearly determine the upcoming trend, perhaps by the end of 2023 will see more clearly.

After we saw the SlapFight Championship which had a lot of buzz on social media and also raised concerns about the safety of fighters or in a better term: slappers, it was a known topic of discussion between both supporters and others against it. Today, while I was surfing and watching some videos I came across a video of pillow fighting between two tough guys in a ring the thing that made me search for more information. Surprisingly, I found out that they also have a championship and there's already the first professional international pillow fighting sports association which means it’s officially a sport.
I don't see it as bad as slapping but it might be a bit boring for us to watch because it seems nearly impossible to knock your opponent out or for judges to determine a winner unless they decide to put rocks inside the pillows (just kidding).

What are your thoughts on this new sport, Do you think we might see it in sportsbooks anytime soon?

Selling 50% is a no-brainer to me. You have said it yourself. No one can find the perfect bottom or the perfect top. And the thing about the perfect time to sell, can you be 100% sure that it is the perfect time? To me, the best way to buy and accumulate BTC is to DCA. (I am biased about Bitcoin, I have no faith in altcoins. Sorry in advance.) This way you can keep a balanced value of your coins. So why not do the same with selling? I am sure this will be the best strategy. At least in my opinion.

So all you need to do is do some research and analysis on the market to find the potential up point. Where it could reach in the future. Then setting a targeted sell order on that price point. Also some several others below and over that potential targeted price point. Even if your analysis doesn't meet the target, you will sell at a lower price. But you need to make sure that you are setting the price where you are making a profit. This way if the price is rejected before reaching your analyzed target, you will still be in profit. And if the price rises more compared to your analysis, you will make more profit that way. So the 50% does not work for me. I do this instead.

You're close. It's dogshit backed by catshit.

We in this market don't mean or decide anything. Saylor is only valuing bitcoin for future profit. He's probably buying bitcoin for a reason. Someday he'll sell it. That's exactly what Elon Musk did, only he didn't do it for long. All these people are not thinking about bitcoin or you and me, but only about their personal gain.

We all know how people used to be protective when trying to explain how someone treated them badly, they always want to be the winner and if you are not smart you can fight the wrong war for them, later you will find out that they are the problem.

Gamblers are telling stories about how they got banned because they are winning too much, I will like to tell you not to believe everything people tell you, these stories typically have another side of the story, there is a high probability that these gamblers have broken some rules along the way.

For reputable casinos, banning players that have won a lot of money legally is bad for their business, the casinos knows that the word of the mouth spreads faster than anything, so I believe that a reputable casino do their strong research before they use their ban hammer.

Before you take sides with gamblers claiming they get banned for winning too much, remember that casinos are good at monitoring and preventing fraudulent behaviors, you break some rules you are out, and no cheater want to admit that they cheat.

There are a lot of cases of people who are breadwinners and they are working so hard like they have a child to feed and I am just happy but sad at the same time for that kind of person as they need to shoulder their family on his shoulders though he is really a responsible person as he is doing it.
You will need to sacrifice things so that you can provide for yourself and your family. This is really what life is like. We need to just work hard and work smartly so that we can earn more.

The unveiled reality of the NFT market: 95% of NFTs have a market cap of zero

The bearish market has been affecting the whole crypto industry downside, but regards NFT niche, it has been worst. Almost all NFTs have a market cap of zero, meaning investors and adopters have completely lost interest for them after so much hype and excitment we saw during the year of 2021.

Does it mean NFT is a scam sector of crypto market, or is their concept good, but the execution of the projects are wrecking everything? Is it still possible for NFTs to recover their credibility?

Indeed, nothing is impossible, as long as those who want to learn to trade have a strong interest. because trading is not only related to skills and knowledge that can be learned through books or videos.
as you said trading requires experience and the time of each person who learns to trade is of course different. it's about how quickly they progress with their knowledge and experience. which of course requires capital to become experienced. It won't be enough to try one or two times and then fail. those who try will see many failures. and I think many beginners experience this.

Of course there are many female gamblers who have a great interest in gambling like men who spend a lot of time in Gambling every day. If there are gamblers among women who have a good income and who are independent, they usually try to gamble with more money. If they lose, they can manage money quickly. Even though I have not yet had the opportunity to directly gamble with female gamblers, I have been informed of the plight of many such female gamblers. Women generally have less chance than men otherwise women would be addicted to gambling like men.

I hope that halving can actually have some effect on the price rise, but for it to be before and not after the halving happens. Remember the collapse in March 2020 and all models were broken. There was a halving then too and nobody could have predicted that it would happen. So ETFs can play a role in October and I would like nothing bad to happen.

Here are some of the challenges restricting users from buying and hodling bitcoin:


1. Restrictions from the government and regulators who keep on threatening that they may ban bitcoin or crypto in general anytime, imposing an unjustly ridiculous tax on trading and withdrawal literally leaving us with loss even if we make a profitable trade. What if a situation arises wherein we cannot withdraw even if the value of bitcoin increases as it will be of no use.

2. We need to earn a lot before hodling as most of the users in this forum are joining campaigns where the payment is not even guaranteed especially bounty campaigns so I hope you understand the financial situation of people which is due to unequal wealth distribution created by corrupt government and this can be broken when people start earning more through various source of freelancing instead of 9 AM -6 PM job which has made them slave and only once a person has a good amount of at least $100-$200 (this might be little for us but for people from certain geo region this is way more) they can invest and hodl or trade. 

3. We need to buy in dip or at the peak of a bearish market if we want to buy and hodl for at least a few years, we can take the example of people who bought at the peak of bull run during end of 2017 and had to wait till the end of 2020 to meet break even and gain profit but many end up selling due to panic and fuds, we need proper channels to educate users to avoid panic selling and build a strong community as a lot of negativity was spread during last bear market which distanced many from crypto.

Feel free to share your opinion on how we can fix this.

If you have plans to start a dream business that requires a capital of  $20,000 and you were able to make a savings of $15,000 which obviously isn't enough to start up the business, what would be your decision or advice?

1. Invest the $15,000 into a smaller business hoping that the returns will yield the remaining $15,000 in a short period. Note that this has the potential of failing and wasting the already-saved  $15,000.

2. Keep the $15,000 while doing other work that will yield the remaining money over a long period.

Would love to see your input or a better suggestion apart from the ones I pointed out above.

N/B
This is the typical situation a friend finds himself and we are just brainstorming in what best to do.

Even if they spend a lot of money here still many gamblers in this forum are totally convince that 1xbit will never bring any good experience to them and they are done already with this casino that's why their management already decide not to bother fixing their reputation here anymore. This is maybe the reason why they decide to market outside since from there they can still possibly lure people to gamble. Compare here that they receive a lot of negative feedbacks.

 If they plan to run a good casino here then maybe even before they fix those problem but they let those issues exist and now they feel the angry sentiments of people and warn other newbie about not good to gamble in this casino.

Better understanding and if you have deeper knowledge, you can really maximize the use of this system, as mentioned, you still have to program or input what you think the market next movement, system that will allow you to position your prediction in advance, bot will execute even you are sleeping, you don't need to spend more time if you know how the system works.

The good catch behind it is you can trade without emotion. I mean, after you setup your position using bot, all you have to do is wait and allow the cycle and see if your assessment is correct. Let that bot work for you.

I see that many people have problem with bitcoin transactions because sometimes exchanges block them if they come from casino or from mixer or they simply tell you that your coins come from shady activities, their ToS and 0 regulation from governments in this case gives them absolute power to do whatever they want without further explanations or proofs.

So, my question is, since bullshit Blockchain Analyses companies partner with exchanges and block Bitcoin transactions, that means if one wants to use it, Bitcoin deposits aren't the safest options out there. But how do they deal with Monero? Monero is as anonymous as possible and they can't claim that your coins come from blacklisted addresses or something like that but at the same time Monero is very popular on darknet and I am afraid this close relationship of Monero and DN can make a person appear suspicious on exchanges. I don't know if I follow the right logic here but would love to hear your experiences, have you ever had a problem with monero deposits on exchanges/casinos and so on?
P.S. I know we shouldn't use centralized exchanges but I want to fulfill my interest.

You`re talking about scam casinos mostly. The KYC after big win is normally and the main part of the casinos KYC such the winner, if he hadn`t KYC before. But it is standard procedure and doesn`t take lots of time usually. I was in such situation several times. It was from several hours up to 2 days.
But of course it can be used to cancel or pause withdraw if the casino has problems with money or it is scam casino.

If I own that much, I'd probably register to as many exchanges as I can just to cash them out. But I'll do it with small amounts until I ran out of it if that's the plan to sell all of it.

But first, look if there's an OTC market where you can go. It's for sure going to ask you some important matters and will certainly ask for KYC. But do you have the choice?

You want to sell it and it's like you've got few options to do that. Although you can also check P2P for it, so that means like canvassing all potential markets and methods.

To avoid alert from the bank, don't do like a million a day or learn how much your bank allows not to flag you with your transactions.

Michael Saylor and his company-- MicroStrategy have always believed in Bitcoin and their belief has always paid off, and the major payoff for them would be when Bitcoin hits another all-time high this time maybe going around $100k which will surely make their stack worth lot and the company will have a huge profit out of its Bitcoin investments that it has made so far and might make in the future. They've always used the perfect market conditions.

If we talk about market conditions, I believe we won't see any major movements now in this year, the only major movement we saw was at the beginning of the year when Bitcoin went from below $19k to $31k in just a couple of months, and then it became stable there. But, we will surely see some action in the next year.
