Before a bull run, you must prepare many things.

Money for investment. You can start to work to earn money and use money for investment in a bull run.
Determine that what cryptocurrency you want to invest money in. Bitcoin or altcoins and if you like altcoins, you must do your own research about risk of altcoins.
Then with altcoins, what altcoin type you like: old altcoins or new altcoins will be created in a next bull run.
Do you like Proof of Work altcoins or Smart contract altcoins. I see smart contract altcoins are more risky than Proof of Work altcoins.

How many cryptocurrencies failed/

If you like Proof of Work altcoins, you can choose from the list of https://howmanyconfs.com/

Bayern Munich make us surprised loss their last games after defeating by Frankfurt with bigger score 1-5, its first time Bayern Munich conceded 5 goals in domestic league. The same loss result on last match with Manchester United and loss from Bournemouth when playing home.
That big defeat is a big shock for Bayern Munich and their domination in Bundesliga is continuing to be challenged by other clubs. It started since the past season when Dortmund almost took the crown from Bayern Munich but the very late winning goal from Musiala helped Bayern Munich to defend their crown.

This season looks to be another troubling season for Bayern Munich in Bundesliga and the latest big loss is like another warning that they are no longer can easily win most of opponents in Bundesliga.

Quote
Both losses teams will face tonight on last Champion League match but Bayern Munich is not really important match what ever match result loss, draw or win they are keep managing top standings. But crucial for Manchester United must win against Bayern Munich if want get chance qualify to Europe League or get one position of 16 round if Galatasaray's match against Copenhagen get draw result.
They both did not have good forms but Bayern Munich undoubtedly are stronger than Manchester United. They will also not want another loss that will certainly open a crisis for their club. So even Bayern Munich does not need to win the match, they will not want to lose it against Manchester United. With this safe approach, Manchester United will fall into a counter attacking trap of Bayern Munich and I expect a loss for them.

Well the majority of us would all bet on Tottenham. Even last season, when Tottenham were not at their best, it turned out that Tottenham were always able to beat Nottingham Forest, both at home and away. But we have to remember that we cannot always expect Tottenham's performance. Last season Kane and Son were very sharp spearheads for Tottenham.
Son and Kane are very effectively attacking partners in Tottenham and they are one of best duo attacking players in Premier League history too. It is bad for Premier League when Harry Kane decided to move to Bundesliga and Bayern Munich. Because with that transfer, Kane gave up his chance to break the all time record of Alan Shearer. If he returns to Premier League, maybe he will be old enough and no longer have enough time to break that record.

Quote
But this time Son is fighting alone because J.Maddison, who was originally scheduled to return this week, turns out I heard that it will be postponed a month from now. Namely, J. Maddison will probably return in January. Because the recovery process turns out to be quite slow. And until then Tottenham will definitely struggle.
James Maddison is a good replacement for Kane with his great vision and passing skills to create chances, key passes for Son to score goals. With Maddison, Son is upgraded to be a striker in Tottenham but in some situation, he can play at two wings of Tottenham. The absence of Maddision is not good news for Son and Tottenham but in a good day, other players can support each other, support Son and can cover the absence of Maddison.

Sounds that you are trying to blame shuffle and talk everything is bad because you have just lost some money, or maybe you have just been banned because you are suspected to have multiple accounts?
With gambing, there are probabilities for winning and losing so don't blame on a casino if a bet is lost.

Multiple accounts are prohibited on gambling sites and they are intolerant with cheating too. If it is double violation with multiple accounts and cheating, all detected accounts will be terminated immediately.

Quote
If you feel that you are a victim here, can you provide at least an evidence to support your allegations against shuffle?
When you want to accuse a site (not only shuffle), be sure that you have valid evidence to support your argument.
Otherwise, your words is nothing because no casino will take it as a serious thing to respond.
You gave a solid advice as proof is necessary for any accusation. So far Shuffle has done well in Bitcointalk and their reputation is good so I don't think they will destroy their reputation if they did not have enough evidence to take serious action against their users.

When you take only such trades, even though you lose 60% of your trades, you will still be profitable.
If you lose 60% of your trades, you likely will be rekted by the market and trading.

It also relates to the trading capital size for each trade you want to do. You can start with $100, double it to $200 but if your trading strategy is always you use all money for trading, even if you increase your trading capital to $1M, you can lose 80% or 90% of it in one trade.

With this trading strategy that is risky, you will probably have loss rather than profit at the end or in long term.

Quote
Though most people have the ability to win 80% of there trades because of how skilled they are.
Who can have that high successful trading rate?

Not most of traders in the market.

What if knowing that death is inevitable, we will our bitcointalk account and our portfolio to someone who will manage after out demise.

I asked this because I know that if this is a physical venture, it will be very easy for the family member to continue with what is left behind, I know bitcoin might not necessarily work that way but I just want to clear my curiosity and let's see if we can establish something out of your contributions.
If you don't want to bring your bitcoin to you when you pass away, you will plan to tell someone about your wallet, and how to recover it. It can be  your wife, husband, children, people who love most.

It is the people you can trust but if you can not let them know about 100% of your bitcoin, you can create different wallets and let them know about part of your wallets like a half of your bitcoin. It is risk management that in worst situation, if those people do something bad, you still don't lose all of your bitcoin.

587  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Would you pay $1M dollars worth of BTC or USDT for an El Salvadorian passport? on: December 11, 2023, 05:50:33 AM
Yes, that's it, as an investor would you pay such an amount to automatically become an El Salvadorian citizen? According to the news on various news site, El Salvadorian government has partnered with Tether to launch a program tagged "Adopting El Salvador Freedom Visa Program.” Applicants are required to pay a non refundable $999 fee in BTC or USDT, if the application is successful, they'd be required to undergo KYC and a $1M dollar deposit in BTC or USDT to secure a freedom visa and citizenship.
I am not against El Salvador but this is not a safe nation to live. With high criminal rate, do you think it is a safe place to live?

So spending $1M for a passport in an unsafe nation is something not smart. It can be changed in future if El Salvador government can do massive changes for their nations from politics to economics and social status. Only make that nation is Bitcoin legal tender is not enough to make the nation as a heaven, a wanted destination for the rich.

$1M for a passport is like from the rich's spending and as said, I don't believe will want to live in El Salvador.
588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 11, 2023, 05:41:21 AM
Barcelona looked very bad with this defeat because all predictions were that Barcelona would be able to overcome Girona well and the best result that the visiting team could get was predicted to be a draw but seeing how Girona managed to take the lead from the first half until the match finished despite being attacked relentlessly by Barcelona was very impressive.
Barcelona can lose the match but the way they lost it is very terrible. Their performance shows that they are like a weak team, not a strong and giant club in La Liga. Girona simply had an excellent match to prolong their impressive season that was hard to imagine they can have when the season started months ago.

Girona now is like Leicester City in Premier League years ago but in La Liga, there are still Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid so Girona must overperform to win La Liga. They can dream about it and try to complete match by match with as best result as they can achieve.

Quote
Barcelona must start looking for a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, their striker has seen a decline after recovering from injury and also improving their defense which is quite weak because in five matches they only scored 7 goals and conceded 6 goals so they have not been able to approach Girona and Real Madrid's position in the standings and this defeat could be said to be quite crushing because it was a difference of 2 goals.
Barcelona in this season is totally opposite with themselves in the past season from both defense to attacking power. Defense system is weaker and attacking system is less efficient and powerful.

Replacing Lewandowski is a big task for Barcelona because globally there are not too many good traditional strikers like Lewandowski. The financial status of Barcelona is not good too and it will restrict their choices on the market.

Xavi will have to plan for next few seasons without a world class striker like Lewandowski in Camp Nou and maybe he will have to let Barcelona returns to tiki taka without a classic striker.
589  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Count down to Bitcoin halving. on: December 11, 2023, 01:57:59 AM
I'm not saying it's bad news. That's good news. Well, it may be bad from a certain perspective because this is the entry of the fiat guys into Bitcoin and they might change the rules of the game with all their powers and influence, but since we're in the context of price speculation here, this is definitely a good thing. $100,000 is now a much easier target with traditional funds eagerly waiting for the green light. A Bitcoin spot ETF approval is that light. It could be granted anytime prior to the halving. With these two factors, 2024 is a very bullish year for Bitcoin.
I think the market is over heating with news about Bitcoin Spot ETFs in the USA. It is not a first year, companies submit their applications for Bitcoin Spot ETFs. It has been happening in the last 10 years that is a long time of waiting.

In previous years, with previous applications, SEC. simply announced that they refused those applications without giving any reason and without any direct talk with those companies. This year, we are witnessing something different with more friendly answers and communication from SEC with those companies. It sheds kind of positive lights that SEC. will make approvals for Bitcoin Spot ETFs in USA. soon.

Though I am positive about that chance, I am still neutral that Bitcoin will have its bull run after the halving even SEC. won't approve any Bitcoin Spot ETF application.
590  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 11, 2023, 01:51:53 AM
Roma and Fiorentina were equally strong, even though Roma had taken the lead with a goal scored by Romelu Lukaku in the first half. But then in the second half Fiorentina equalized the score through Lucas Martinez's goal. this proves they are equally strong. But I really liked Roma better than before and even though this match was marked by 2 red cards, the score remained a 1-1 draw until the end of the match.
Roma is in 5th position with a score of 24 and Fiorentina is in 7th position with a score of 23. Only 1 point difference.
AS Roma opened the match too early with an assist from Dybala and a goal from Lukaku's headshot. The second yellow card for Zalewski is too strict but the direct red card for Lukaku is well-deserved. He made a stupid dangerous foul which can break the leg of opponent and put an ending for the opponent player career. Lukaku will miss next three matches that are tough and important for AS Roma. Roma also got another bad news, Dybala got another injury and they will have to hope that he will recover soon enough.

At least AS Roma can satisfy from the draw as they still hold the fourth position and don't lose it to Fiorentina. In another situation, Bologna surprisingly jumps to the fifth position with 25 points like Roma.

Fiorentina is not too strong and they can be said to be an equally strong team but it is also very difficult for Roma to get 3 points in this match. This match was quite heated and Mourinho even gave a lot of quite aggressive directions in killing the opponent attacks. We know that mounriho will do anything to prevent his opponent from stealing points when the situation changes suddenly. That what mourinho did so it's not surprising that 2 of his players were given red card.
Both Jose Mourinho and all Roma players did not join the press conference after the match. It seems they planned it after an investigation against Jose Mourinho with his saying in the press conference after the match against Sassuolo.

Jose Mourinho will have double headache for next three matches if Dybala won't be able to play and Lukaku will surely miss those matches. He will have to use two substitution strikers, Belotti and Azmoun for those matches. Serie A in this season is very exciting with many clubs are not far from each other with nearly similar strengths so that even now we can see many clubs are competing for the third and fourth positions from AC Milan, Roma to Bologna, Napoli, Atalanta and Fiorentina.

Roma vs Fiorentina

Mourinho team is currently creeping up its performance slowly again and is in 4th place overtaking Napoli and this time Roma looks a little more stable in the last few matches while Fiorentina in 5 matches has suffered 3 defeats.
Roma chances of winning are certain to win but I want to take a bet at over 1.75 because I am very sure there will be at least 2 scores in this match.
Roma got a fourth position in Serie A since the last week and they will try to defend this position after failing to get it in the two latest seasons. It seems Napoli gets more problems in this season and Roma will have better opportunity to enter top four when Napoli becomes weaker and less competitive than they were in the last season.

In the upcoming Serie A match between Roma and Fiorentina, I anticipate an intriguing and challenging competition. Both teams have demonstrated commendable performance throughout this season, making it difficult to pinpoint a clear favorite. Assessing their overall achievements, it seems they are on par in terms of skill and effectiveness on the field.
Both AS Roma and Fiorentina are playing well in this season and they are competing for top positions in Serie A. The defeat of Napoli will give Roma and Fiorentina more reasons to hunt three points from this match. Fiorentina can increase their rank and Roma will take advantage against Napoli if they have three points today.

Quote
Examining their head-to-head records becomes essential to predict the result in more detail. When Fiorentina and Roma have played at Roma's home ground over the course of five seasons, Roma has always won. This historical pattern suggests that Roma will have an advantage in this upcoming match.
Roma will need to win the match to keep up their good streak to race with other clubs for top four. They currently have 24 points as same as Napoli and they will make a 3-point difference against Napoli if they beat Fiorentina. It is more interesting as Fiorentina have 23 points and if Roma lose to Fiorentina, they will lose the fourth position to the opponent as well.

I purchased using market rate and then closed bybit app. after some times when I checked price then it's surges to 12$. I was very happy that my portfolio increased 4x but when I checked my total fund, it was down little. I shocked and checked trading history. It was glitch and token was purchased at the rate of 12.6$. after that price dump hard to 1.6$. My portfolio goes down from 268$ to 39$

Long-term holders will definitely be much more profitable because the price will continue to soar according to the current cycle. It is normal to be emotional when the bull season arrives because we see prices rising slowly which makes people feel regretful when they did not buy before the bullish season.
With long-term holders, they have to beat themselves first, before can get profit from the market.

Because they hold their coins long-term, they must hold those coins safely and there is a vital need for safe storage method. If they plan to hold coins long-term but only let their coins on centralized exchanges, they will be rekted anytime.

The match between Barcelona and Girona is going to be very interesting. Because this match is a must-win for Barcelona. If they do not win this match, it is going to be pretty much a disaster for them. I am pretty sure if Barcelona is unable to win this match, Atletico Madrid is also going to get ahead of Barcelona on the table. Because I also agree that Atletico Madrid is probably not going to have any problems trying to beat their next opponent. So it is all on Barcelona if they actually want to stay at the top of the table and also ahead of Atletico Madrid.
It is not an El Classico and I am quite sure that it has less importance than any match between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Barcelona will need to win it not because this match is a big one but it is because they are currently the champion of La Liga and are defending the crown.

If they can not beat Girona and get three points from this opponent, they will waste one chance to reduce a point gap against Girona from 4 points to only 1 point but they will also give Real Madrid an opportunity to expand the four point gaps to 5 or seven points gap after this match day.

I really think Barcelona are considering Real Madrid as their biggest competitor for La Liga title in this season. Girona is like an underdog and they will not be able to maintain their excellent form for too long.

So I'm curious.  Are there people here who bought btc or altcoins... but mainly the big altcoins like eth etc... that bought these coins years ago... let say at least 5 years ago or more and still haven't cashed any real profit at all?  Or is someone like that very rare?  Now let's say they might have cashed a few hundred dollars in profit at the most or 1000 dollars profit which isn't that much for at least 5 years.  Thus they haven't cashed out real big profit.  
They can have very strong belief and diamond hands with lot of patience to hold their coins for many years without selling. Another possibility is they lost access to those coins, lost forever. It can happen with both bitcoin and altcoins.

You can see the HODL waves chart and make your estimations of those inactive coins that can be lost forever, part of those inactive ones.

Wow. Just wow. Look at the multiple people in this thread cheering for censorship.

Ordinals are stupid. Inscriptions are stupid. NFTs are stupid. I consider all these things a method to move money from lots of gullible newbies to a small handful of people who successfully convinced these gullible newbies that such nonsense is worth anything. However, we absolutely should not be censoring transactions.
Bitcoin was not built to only serve criminals or to censor money flow through Bitcoin transactions from criminals. Initially it was not built for this and many years from 2009 to 2023, this core vision was intact.

The development and appearance of BRC20 Ordinals and useless Inscriptions cause a lot of issues for Bitcoin users. Hate it or not, I disagree with any effort of censorship because I agree with your analysis. If they can censor transactions from Ordinals or sanctioned countries, they can do more than that.

Will the Bitcoin community come to another point to fork?
One chain with censorship.
One chain without censorship.

I will support the non-censorship chain and hope that it will be a longest chain.

Manchester City lost to Aston Villa, making Arsenal top them with 6 points gaps, whereby the league hasn't gone far and there are many matches to play. Looking at the premier league table today, it feels empty like the team who would win the premier league is not there to. 
Manchester City seem to be down a lot in this season. They have worse performances, more instability and they are giving more hope and opportunities to other clubs to take them down in a single match and also take over the Premier League crown.

Quote
Last season arsenal used up to a 9-points gap to top Manchester City during the end of the season and later lost to Manchester City for the trophy. My question is, can what happened last season happen this season?
This season will be another time for Pep Guardiola to prove himself as the best coach as he always does when it comes to lifting premier league trophies. As it seems now, Manchester City doesn't appear formidable. Any team can win them if they make up their  city
Other clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal are seriously competing with Manchester City for the league title. Arsenal with a failed attempt in last season surely want to do something better in this season. Liverpool with Klopp is a biggest competitor of Manchester City in recent seasons and they do want to win a second Premier League title with Klopp.

Pep will have lot of works to do with Manchester City as well as with himself to defend the title. Manchester City with their deep player resource will still have big advantage than Arsenal and Liverpool in a long season but they have to be careful.
