A skilled trader knows exactly when in the market to buy his coins and when to sell his coins he is very good at making quick decisions. The loss may be slightly higher due to earlier decision making, but if a trader delays his decision too much, he may miss the opportunity to profit from trading. When I am tedding and when I feel that the market may go higher from this time I buy coins at that time instead of waiting and wait for a good time. Not every day I do multiple trading but some days there is a loss and I have to wait for the market to turn positive. We always discuss that trading is risky but we have to have the ability to make quick decisions by accepting this risk.
583  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading not for everyone! on: December 17, 2023, 06:11:12 PM
Holding crypto isn't for everyone either. Back when I was still new to all the crypto stuff I would be pretty smoked seeing my crypto go down like seriously?

I wanted to try trading crypto but couldn't do so without these insane ass fees.
Trading becomes easy when one follows the right paths and everything becomes winning, though there are some trades triggered that doesn't results in profits. Trading is not everyone as presumed, it will take quite long time before a newbie can successfully start earning from the system. Everything needs time and there's definitely those set of people that doesn't have an idea about the system but they do force themselves to learn and at the end of the day, some are profitable while some doesn't stand a chance to gain any solidable profits rather they beckon on losses.
I have been involved in trading for a long time and I still find trading very difficult. I have long time trading skills and in this long time I have made good profit from trading and I have lost quite a lot of money but still when I want to start trading new coins I find trading really difficult. People who trade by sight or who are more interested in trading by watching other people's profits find trading very easy. The more a person knows about trading, the more he feels that there is more to know about trading and trading is not so easy to know. Most of the new traders are seen trading only considering the volatility of the market but it doesn't actually fall under any rules of trading but we have to research the market with a clear understanding of the market and we have to accept trading only then we can achieve some success by trading.
584  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: December 17, 2023, 01:29:33 PM
Imo everything where money are involved must be done with care. Otherwise they will turn into sand and will slide awat through your fingers. Even if gambling for fun. Careless money management decreases fun time. Even rich should have careless attitude towards money. Some might say that I am old, greedy or scrooge, but I feel annoyed every time I see someone spend money like they dont care all. Perhaps I just know how sometimes it is hard to earn Smiley

That's true, earning money nowadays is quite difficult so you have to be more careful when it comes on your spending habits. I agree that even those rich people tends to care about their spending even if we saw some of them buying stuffs and spend more in gambling, I think they are aware and has their limitations in their money, sometimes you only see the value of money when you work hard to earn it yourself
Everyone has to think a lot more about holding money regardless of the rich and the poor. Suppose you have a lot of money at this time but if you don't earn any more money later and lose money regularly due to your bad habits then how long will that money support you. It is okay to take risk in some cases but it does not make sense to take risk where there is a high probability of losing money. Assuming you are a gambler, you should stop thinking that you have to make money by gambling. Some money can be gambled and that is purely for our own pleasure, whenever we get over greedy and try to build our career through gambling we definitely create the possibility of losing the money we have. I think we need to think more about how to protect our money and find ways to grow money.
585  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? on: December 17, 2023, 12:48:46 PM
For some people gambling can cause problems and for others gambling can be just a pastime. Gambling is a very bad aspect for those who initially started gambling with the expectation of good profits but only lost after starting and are still losing. When a person gets addicted to gambling, he cannot get out of that addiction even if he wants to. I understand that gambling is affecting my life badly and I should get out of this bad situation but still we can't do it. People with this problem should try to take up gambling as a pastime rather than giving up gambling altogether. Gambling every day with some amount of money and if you win stop gambling for that day and if you lose, stop gambling for that day and plan for the next day. If a gambler can gamble in this way, he will not be addicted to gambling but will accept gambling as a form of entertainment.
586  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who should quit, and why? on: December 17, 2023, 12:13:00 PM
As a wife, you should stop gambling and focus more on your children and husband as well as housework. After all, what is their purpose in gambling, is it just for entertainment or risking money to hope for big profits. If the husband just plays normally and as entertainment, it won't bother anything, as long as he doesn't spend money to use it for living expenses. The husband must be wise to manage everything, regulate gambling only as entertainment, and only use a small amount and manage other needs.
OP did not mention in her post that she is gambling after taking care of the household chores and children, rather she shared that her husband and she gambled in her family. If her husband did not like his wife's gambling, he would not gamble. They may be enjoying gambling as a couple so it may not be right to ask them to give up gambling. If they both experience gambling problems, the two of them can decide who should spend more time gambling and who should spend more time on other activities. If the family depends on the husband's money, if the husband thinks that one of them should gamble, then the husband may gamble by preventing the wife from gambling. I think it's totally their personal decision and they can discuss it together and take a better decision.
587  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you still use Banks ? on: December 17, 2023, 11:39:35 AM
In my understanding, there is no need to be surprised that as long as crypto payments are not legalized by a country, so long as people still use banks and I am here to this day still using banks.
People are well aware that the bank system is too complicated and often not what we want even though the money stored in the bank is ours.
If I want to make a transaction without using a bank to another country, I can do it using crypto without needing to announce to the relevant parties that I am doing it.

You raise a fair point that today's banking systems frequently lag behind what customers truly require.  However, I don't quite follow your statement about crypto payments lacking legalization in specific countries.  People globally already utilize cryptocurrency for transactions, even where formal legalization is still pending.  The primary benefit of decentralized digital coins is that no government or bank wields control over them.
I have several bank accounts but all the bank accounts are empty because I don't keep much money in the bank. When some local currency is required then some money need to be transferred to bank through p2p transaction and by bank transfer I withdraw those local currencies through ATM. Basically I use bank account for all these general transactions. I have a personal savings account in another account that I use in case of additional financial emergencies. I kept some money in the savings account so that I don't have to sell my investments at a loss in case of a big financial need. Apart from that, I have never felt the need to keep a large amount of money in a bank account considering anything else.
588  Economy / Economics / Re: Sea Piracy, it's effect on the local economy on: December 16, 2023, 05:49:49 PM
The easiest and most cost-effective means of importing and exporting goods is by sea. A study shows that shipping companies face huge financial losses every year in their shipping industry. Some of the reasons for facing huge financial losses include Somalia pirate attacks as well as shipwrecks. Somali pirates are generally very aggressive and target ships that carry large amounts of valuable goods. Pirates take those ships and demand huge ransoms, and when the shipping industry pays the ransom, they release the ships. Due to pirate attacks and extra money paid to pirates, many shipping industries shut down their operations, but with the advancement of technology, some advanced security systems have been added to the ships to prevent pirates from attacking the ships. Due to the use of advanced technology in ships, the presence of pirates has reduced a lot.
589  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would it be enough to buy 100 dollars worth of Bitcoin every month? on: December 16, 2023, 12:00:38 PM
My advice as someone older than you, don't force your will to invest in Bitcoin. Your father gives you $100 of allowance so you can use it for your needs, not for investment. You already get an allowance, but you still use your father's credit card for your expenses just to invest in Bitcoin, I'm sure your parents' reaction will not be good. So instead of that being a problem, it's better for you to focus on your studies and not think too much about investing in Bitcoin.
His parents used to take it badly when he was spending his money on bad things. Investing in pocket money means Bitcoin is not a bad thing at all. OP is investing in bitcoins without spending his pocket money must have his motive behind it. Since OP does not earn any money yet and since his father does, it is natural to take money from his father and spend it. If my child took my money and invested in bitcoins I would give him more money and increase his pocket money. Dissuade children only when they are going in the wrong direction but when they are trying to plan for the future, encourage them and help them if you can, you will see that they are much more motivated. Parents are the biggest inspiration for children and if parents support children in any task then children can complete that task very well.
590  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can I ask for refund if casino game has bugs? on: December 16, 2023, 10:09:53 AM
If a gambler wins such a large jackpot and the gambler does not have good support, it is natural to think that the casinos will refuse to pay him. Whenever someone else takes this huge amount of money from the casino, it can cause huge losses to the casino, and to avoid those losses, the casino companies make various excuses to avoid paying that person from the casino. Maybe the person was not paid after winning the jackpot and that person might take legal recourse but the casino establishments maintain a good relationship with the law so that the law does not take too harsh a decision against them due to such incidents. In the case of winning the jackpot we also have to think so that the jackpot amount is not too high and the jackpot should be won in such a way that if won, he can withdraw the money.
591  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever heard about financing a gambler? on: December 16, 2023, 09:06:56 AM
Gambling usually requires us to take maximum risk of money. Where one has to rely more on one's luck than one's own skill, it is natural that the risk of money will be highest. Gambling falls into several categories and depending on the category, some gambling directly depends on luck and some gambling depends a lot on one's gambling skills. I am ready to risk only my money but not ready to risk anyone else's money. I gamble myself because I have control over gambling but there are many people who ask me about gambling but I don't advise everyone about gambling. If I had advised everyone about gambling then most of the people who have come to me for gambling would have blamed me for losing money in gambling.
The gamblers who want to make money from the gambling should ready to take the risk in gambling.The gambling win was based on the luck of the gamblers and also on their ability to learn the gambling.If the gamblers learn the gambling skills,So they can easy make money from gambling sites.
Gambling requires both luck and skill but sometimes even if we apply 100% of skill, luck goes against us due to which we definitely lose some gambling games. I don't gamble now thinking that I have to live by gambling but I gamble only as a simple game and for entertainment. Gambling is extra risky and every gambling we have to take extra risk so the money I deposit for gambling is not my money, I am only given bonus for gambling. If I cheat for the money I deposit to gamble, I won't be able to gamble properly and the outcome of every gamble will go against me. Maybe because I can think like this, I can make the right decision in gambling and the amount of profit is more than the loss now.

Currently users are facing several issues with this hardware wallet. It is believed that users are facing such problems due to their security system being weak. This company once had a good reputation but due to weak security systems, their reputation has been ruined and their user base has dropped drastically. They are finding it difficult to survive in the market as they are now and not sure if this company can survive at all.
593  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: December 16, 2023, 06:26:01 AM
Exactly.. a person (newbie into bitcoin/investing) can start out by dedicating 5% to 10% of his income into the investment, and after a few years increase that to higher amounts.. but surely if it remains unfeasible to increase the investment amount to more than 5% to 10%, then such person should just do what he can, and even 5% to 10% will likely add up, even though 5% is likely only equivalent to having had invested a whole year's salary after 20 years of employing such strategy, but 10% has chances of having invested a whole year's salary after 10 years.. and sometimes these higher levels of aggressiveness (when possible) can make really stupendous kinds of differences in therms of the progress made and how the quantities might add up to significant, meaningful and potentially life-changing amounts.

That's actually good figures to invest but knowing newbies they don't easily go with long term investment that's why they also need to experience first how to trade well in the market and after that for sure they would realize that Hodl is so good for anyone and for that they can start this 5% or `10% part of their salary for their investment. After that once they know how good to have bitcoin then they can increase their balances if they want to increase their investment capital for bitcoin.  I might not suggest to use all of their salary but rather slowly increasing the amount they use maybe better so that they can still have money to use for spending on other things they need and they don't need to became more greedy with it since there's perfect time for everything that's why use the amount they can afford to lose since everything will be rewarding in the end once bitcoin pump and we properly execute all necessary things needed especially for strengthen up their emotions on the challenges comes in the market.
Such a plan will always be acceptable and the best plan for an investor. We can plan to hold for a long period of time if we want a certain portion of the income we earn from the workplace we are in and the money we earn from that workplace every month. For many people it may be difficult to invest at all with a large amount of money so for those investors the best plan is to invest regularly. But in this type of investment, the investor must pay more attention to the investment and ensure that he continues his investment regularly. By regularly investing a part of their monthly income or weekly income in Bitcoin, every investor can invest based on his own income.

Some investors have this misconception that they don't have much money so they can't invest but I have given a very simple idea about investing to those who come to me to learn about investing. I have been involved in investing for a long time and always try to help new investors.

A neighbor of mine who is older than me came to me a few days ago for advice on investment but he told me that he did not have much money and he wanted to borrow some money from me to invest, I explained the matter very easily without giving him a loan. Tried and he understood. I explained to him that you start investing with the savings you have for now and since you are working in a good organization and from there you are getting good amount of money every month so you invest the rest every month minus your expenses. Apart from investing regularly I also advised him to hold that investment for a longer period and he assured me that he has got a good idea about investing and he can invest easily now.
594  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in your country. on: December 16, 2023, 05:42:22 AM
Bitcoin is spread all over the world but there are many countries where Bitcoin is banned but still people of those countries use Bitcoin in different ways. If we talk about Nigeria, the first thing that comes to our mind is that Nigeria is famous for being poor. Nigeria's financial situation is not good at all but there are many people in Nigeria who have been able to change their fortunes through Bitcoin and who are playing a great role in economic development but still the Nigerian government is taking steps against Bitcoin. The Nigerian government may take action against Bitcoin if it can alleviate poverty in its country. I think the Nigerian government should support Bitcoin if ordinary people can change their financial status from being involved with Bitcoin.
595  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stop the self entitlement claims on others gamblers winnings. on: December 16, 2023, 05:16:16 AM
The first mistake that new gamblers make is to follow others directly. When the new gambler directly follows others, if we try to convince them that the new gambler is only thinking about the positive side of seeing others win, then that new gambler does not want to understand. A new gambler then has a thing in his mind that if another gambler can win that much money by gambling then he can also win more money than that. It is difficult to convince him at that time that he does not always have to insist, sometimes he needs to think with conscience. Before following others I have to understand that other people's strategy and my strategy are not the same and that the other person has been gambling for as long and has developed as much skill and experience about gambling as I have not. A new gambler has to decide on this aspect by considering this aspect
596  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability on: December 16, 2023, 04:23:45 AM
Famous YouTuber MrBeast uploaded a video on his YouTube channel a few days ago where he bought a lot of lottery tickets for a million dollars hoping to win billions. MrBeast bought so many lotteries that they had to be brought in by truck. This YouTuber and his team scanned all the lotteries together and after scanning all the lotteries they got only $700K dollars they bought the lottery with a million dollars and they got only $700K dollars in return. Some of his lotteries have $50 some lotteries have $100 and very few lotteries have $1000 and most lotteries have $0. He is a big YouTuber and through this video of his I got so much idea that money should not be invested in such lotteries. If you are very lucky you might get $1000 but that is very few people get. All the lotteries I have ever won have gone against me and I have never won a lottery.
That's how lottery and lottery tickets are designed to be, they're not supposed to make an easy win for someone so it's fair that they're at that kind of odds, it's not like they're not losing a lot of customers when they do that right? That's probably the average that Mr. Beast done for lottery, you pay a thousand and you get your 700 back. It's not rigged, it's just that the odds are so low that you might as well just give that lottery ticket money to someone because that's the same thing. If lottery is easy to win, we would've been doing it as a profession already, there's no need for mathematicians that are good at calculating odds and probabilities.
I mentioned earlier that a small number of lottery tickets were $1000 but most lottery tickets were $50 and zero dollars more. The lottery will be profitable for the person who buys a single lottery ticket and wins a thousand dollars in just one lottery ticket. The YouTuber I am talking about is one of the richest YouTubers in the world so he bought such a huge amount of lotteries just to entertain his audience and give something interesting but a normal person would never buy such a huge amount of lotteries. Lottery is totally based on luck, they use some tricks to get big prizes to very few customers which is why they can make money from such lotteries even with such big prizes.

It also needs an explanation of the members who have joined, whether they are officially transferred or they have to register again.

For payment per post, that's Coinomize's policy, but expect it not to be much different from the campaign on Bitcointalk.
Current campaign participants would be given priority so it would be best for everyone who's currently enrolled in this signature campaign to have an account on the other forum.  Wink
Take advantage of that forum's 'teleport' feature.
Have teleported as well Boss , and yeah wearing Our Avatar and Signature in advance to show the other forum our existence and readiness..thank you for this decision julerz and Coinomize .its nice that they allow teleporting so we could continue advertising the brand .
Like you, I have attached the personal text and signature code of this project's avatar to the account after teleporting the account, although it is not known whether the signature code can be changed or not. It's a pleasure to start working with this great team and great manager from day one of the new year.

As the football season or the cricket season lasts throughout the year, I gamble throughout the year to catch up. I don't miss betting on some matches even if not too much. Premier League, La Liga Champions League are my most betting teams in these leagues. I bet for Bayern Munich in the Champions League and I won, then I bet on the match between Crystal Palace and Liverpool and Liverpool were my team and I won that bet. There are some T20 matches today and I will bet today too hoping today's win will go in my favor. Although casino games are played by gamblers at specific times, sports betting is generally available at all times of the season.

Never heard this one. Wow something new. I say he is a fool for making such a decision but I think that he is a hero for overcoming his gambling addiction. It's not something one can get rid of in an overnight. So I what he did can be considered as an act of heroism. I know because I have been there. Those who were an addict at a time knows the feeling. Judging one person from a distance can be very easy. But when one actually go through this only then he knows how hard it is.
It is easy to get addicted to something but it is very difficult to get back from addiction to normal life. Those who have once been addicted to drugs and have recovered from that addiction know how difficult the challenge is. We may be good in that we do not do drugs or we are not addicted to drugs and therefore we cannot understand how difficult it is for a person to recover from drug addiction. I was addicted to gambling so I can imagine how hard it is to get back into a normal life. Ever since I felt that I needed to go back to a normal life I tried and made up my mind a lot even though I failed several times to get back to a normal gambling life but I didn't give up and I managed to get out of there. If there are people around us who are addicted to gambling or drugs and they want to return to normal life we should help them to return to normal life.
