Try out this strategy, strike things quickly out of your need/want list and be content, so they no longer become a problem and hindrance to your plans to save/invest.

If you plan to buy a house for your comfort, and it is within your means, seek out a way to get it done quickly.

If you plan to get a car, as you feel you are ripe enough for it, and there's a means to get it, don't hesitate, get it quickly off your list.

if you plan to buy a home equipment, electronics or furniture,  and it is super important to you and your comfort, buy it and get it off your list.

The longer you wait at times, the more prices increase, things are not getting cheaper, the longer you wait the more the thought of this need bugs your mind.

Having those kind of plans like you want is such a great things. But, I think it's not that simple to do such things quickly. I also wish to buy even a simple things for my family such as house or any thing that can make them happy but, it's not that simple, you must need to double your hardwork for you to grant all of that wishes. Of course I want to buy anything I want because it serves us my self reward. If really I can afford it then why not. If you can afford it and it is necessary, then why not buy anything you've planned. I know it will make you happy.
62  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you think October will be for alts? on: November 01, 2021, 09:50:02 PM
I think if an altcoin is promising, then it does not need an altseason, but in general, of course, I am waiting for this, but for some reason only the top 10 CMC show growth dynamics, or these are my subjective observations, I think by the end of this month we will see new ATH for altcoins.
I doubt October is the month we all waiting for, the total market dynamics don't go in up direction for the last 2 weeks. Small corrections towards ATH for BTC don't mean it will be the same for the altcoins, alt season may happen after November.
Indeed. To be honest it is too difficult to make such forecast about some currencies, because it was difficult to predict that what was going to happen. But, as I know alts season will be more possible after bitcoin's bull run. I think most probably it will start by early next year. However, there's an Alts started to increase now, so, we don't totally know. Predicting what will happen honestly will requires high level knowledge of analysis. That's why it is very important that we are always updated and have knowledge about it.
63  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it too late to buy? on: November 01, 2021, 01:36:19 PM
The dip a couple of days ago was beautiful but unfortunately I didn't take advantage as much as I should have. Is right now I bad time to go in? Should I wait for another dip? Thinking of getting several coins. Goal is very short time investment.

I'm also struggle with this very problem, ofcourse we don't know how deep is that dip we're waiting for or is it a bad timing to buy now? And I can't see that certain dip we're looking for but what I did is I choose what dip I can afford and then wait when that price comes, until then that is the time for me to buy. It's also the same struggle for "when to sell" because as I said we won't know unless we have that certain amout we project.

And what I learn is it's never too late to buy any coins, you can start portion by portion until you can afford more. Don't wait for that dip because if you buy now then you're already starting to profit rather than waiting for that dip to come and eventually miss the opportunity.
Absolutely. Engaging in bitcoin may possibly encounter a lot of problems but, it depends on how you will handle it. It is not too late, you can still buy and hold waiting for the next bull run to take some profit. Indeed. Don't wait for another dip, you can buy what you can afford for you to start earning rather than waiting that will eventually miss the opportunity. It's better that your always updated in the market for you to know when is the right time to buy or sell your coins.
64  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you spend your Bitcoin? on: November 01, 2021, 11:56:15 AM
I would prefer to hold Bitcoin after evaluating the current scenario. It’s getting famous, its acceptance is increasing, and it will be the mode of payment for many things that we buy through fiat currency. So why would I sell it? All these activities will eventually increase Bitcoin's value.
There's nothing wrong spending bitcoin especially if it is really needed. You can't just hold your bitcoin for so long even if the prices are already pumping. You can hold it especially if you have the plan on when to sell it. It is very important that you have the plan in everything you do for you to not regret it. You can sell it especially if you already achieve your target goal of your bitcoin.
65  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How did you learn to trade? Did you learn it in a hard way or?...... on: November 01, 2021, 10:25:10 AM
I went out of my way to get trained for Forex by a renown exchange called Alpari and that training has really helped me over the years because I have made some money from the experience gain via the training. Coming to use the experience of forex trading in crypto currency has really made it easy for me since there are some how related.
I think the better way to learn trading is to ask help or an advice to an expert. It is very important that we have knowledge about it before start trading. Other way are to research it, since technology already develop, all of the information that is needed about trading is in the social media such as Google or YouTube. Experience also will help you learn a lot and became easy for you when you start trading. You must also think some strategies for you to avoid losses, be patient and learn to wait.
66  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to explain Bitcoin to Newbies on: October 31, 2021, 01:01:04 AM
actually from this forum you can also get many lessons to teach beginners or you can also invite them to come to this forum, all beginners can ask anything in this forum to get answers from experts, usually the first thing that needs to be taught is how to prevent beginners so as not to be trapped by fraudulent investments and always prioritize research before doing anything
Definitely, forum might help newbies understand more about Bitcoin but, I guess they needs also to know why bitcoin created and how it works and especially what strategies they must do to continue having bitcoin with them. It is very important also that they will know more about it especially the risk they might possibly face when they start in Bitcoin. Since Bitcoin is a digital currency that operates on a decentralised network so, it means that every Bitcoin transaction is recorded in a public log and users can remain anonymous in the network with encrypted keys. Transactions can be made with no middlemen – meaning there is no need to go through a bank. Forum might also help them understand more about Bitcoin because they can ask anything in this forum to get an answer to an expert or even an advice on how they will do it.
67  Economy / Economics / Re: Ways to avoid being scammed!!! on: October 30, 2021, 12:14:04 PM
Greed has led so many people to falling a scam victim. Its so cruel how people are wanting to make millions without putting up a reasonable investment on an initiative and promising project. Crypto isn't a get-quick-rich-scheme like ponzi but rather something far better and smarter than ponzi. You just got to follow the right channels and right protocols to avoid getting scammed.

Yes, and these people are looking for quick money, which is the primary reason they fell victim to a scam. They are putting their trust in those who offer high returns and passive income, and as a result, they get scam. Well, they are just getting started in the field, so we could say that they are just getting their feet wet in terms of investing. Now is the time to advise and guide them on where they should not go with it. I have also informed my family and friends about something that I am aware of in order for them to be aware of it.
Yes, they trust those people easily without knowing what will happen. Because of their greediness, they look for quick money which lead them to being scammed. Sometimes they find where they invest their money which they can gain high return of the money they invested. Scammers also always find new ways to steal your money using cryptocurrency. One sure sign of a scam is anyone who says you have to pay by cryptocurrency. Of course, if you pay, there’s almost no way to get that money back. Which is what the scammers are counting on. So, Let's be aware of it and be careful always to avoid these.
68  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Stop lose trading feature on: October 30, 2021, 09:19:30 AM
If you are going for a long term trade then why do you need a stop loss? You can use stop loss for trades when you do an analysis it's like a safe net for a dump it's actually an optional but it was highly recommended and very powerful tool in trading. If you want stable coins then you can just leave your money to stable coins such as USDT, DAI, BUSD and other stable coins that is not volatile.
I guess, it depends to the people if they will use it or not. As I observe, those who uses stop loss and stop limit are for short term trade because it can really control risk. But, I guess there are also people who uses stop loss even they are trading for a long term, it depends I guess, because, stop losses put limitation on loss in trading. So it is very useful. But, the most important is you have the ability to master everything in cryptocurrency, your mind and emotions, you must control it.
69  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Interest on Bitcoin on: October 30, 2021, 06:53:34 AM
As far as I know, many people are interested in bitcoin because of it's good value. They have interest in bitcoin because it's so known all over the world. Yes, it might be risky but if you have the plan on what to do then you don't need to worry more on it's high risk. From my perspective, One way to earn interest in bitcoin is by buying more bitcoins. Once you get your first stash, you'll want to get more and increase your total holdings so that you will get an interest when you purchase something.
70  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: HODL, HODL, HODL when can one actually sell Bitcoin? on: October 30, 2021, 01:09:59 AM
So I keep hearing HODL, HODL, keep holding and all that. My simple question to everyone is "when is actually the right time to sell Bitcoin or we don't ever sell it"?

 How then do we say we have made money from it if we don't sell?
Holding is the best option especially when the price of bitcoin is dumping. It is up to you on what's your strategy on doing it. My advice is to hold when price is dumping and sell when price is increasing. It's up to you on what should you do. Or else, you can sell it when you already attain the goal you want to your bitcoin, if it is already enough for you and you think you won't regret something in the future selling it. Everytime you make decisions, try to think a scenario of you doing it, so that you won't regret anything.
71  Economy / Economics / Re: Just because prices are high, doesn't mean that is a good investment. on: October 29, 2021, 01:37:39 PM
I have seen this kind of argument that just because the price of a commodity is high means that it is a great investment.

To a certain extent, a high price often means that investors have faith in the fundamentals of the commodity (For example, one of the most expensive shares in the American stock market is Berkshire Hathaway, which has consistently outperformed the S&P 500 since 1965).

However, there is the potential that high prices don't actually show genuine interest in a stock, but rather frenzied speculation on a commodity that has poor fundamentals.

A prime example of this happening was at the dot com bubble in the early 2000s.

What happened was companies that were, to be frank, pretty shit had managed to get multi-billion dollar evaluations because investors believed that the internet had fundamentally changed the business landscape forever.

As a result, people quit their jobs to trade full time, media stoked up the desires of getting rich and everyone believed that this gravy train will carry on rolling on and on forever.

Then the combination of increased interest rates, the majority of the aforementioned companies burning through cash and investors becoming aware of it all lead to the technology and by extension the entire economy to collapse while a few key members making big money.

This entire situation was the very exemplar of the title as companies that had billions of dollars turned out to be worthless at the end.

Be vigilant.
It doesn't mean that when the price of bitcoin is too high, it is already good for investment. No, it's not like that, maybe, the price of it is good for now, but we can't predict what will happen in the future. It's better to choose a good coin, a coin with lot of potential for you to invest. Bitcoin is not a company or even owned by us. We all are free to keep or sell our coins. It is us who will decide the value of Bitcoin.
72  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Help me understand BTC pricing on: October 29, 2021, 11:38:07 AM
The price of a bitcoin is determined by supply and demand. When demand for bitcoins increases, the price increases, and when demand falls, the price falls. It is how bitcoin price works. It is really as simple as everything and it depends on marketcap.
73  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Now the price is bullish on: October 29, 2021, 07:54:22 AM
This is just a reminder that the bull run wouldn't last for ever hope your profit plan has been drafted so once you have it you can start converting some to stable coin while you wait for the bear market to take another advantage of buying more.

If you haven't done your profit plan it's better done now or dwell in regret when the bear moment starts. If greed appetite would be a challenge then it's good to start dealing with it now the market hasn't done above it's current ATHs I'm so sure lots of people would still not be prepared for the next bear move preparation is what you need to take good advantage


Absolutely right. Bull runs come and go, we should plan well in advance to book profit before it lasts. I think the Bull Run in Alts is still in the middle and it will continue till January,2022 if Bitcoin remains above 60K during this period. The major Indictor of Bull run in Alts is Bitcoin Dominance Index which is still higher ( 44% ). The Bull run in alts will go in full swing once it comes below 40%.
This is a great opportunity for many investors. They have waited this for so long. Eventhough prices are too high now but still, there are lot of people who still choose to be calm facing the market. We experience this to remind us that in every dumping of price, it has the chance to pump and experience this moment. Since the price of bitcoin dump for some months, it shows that investors waited this for to long holding their coins. So now, will have every reasons to be happy with this new pumping of prices in the market.
74  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's your strategy to carry on making money when Bitcoin turns bearish on: October 29, 2021, 03:46:20 AM
Hi, I'm just trying to plan ahead here and assuming that we are going to have a bear market at some point in the next couple of years, I would like to try to put my bull market profits to good use. I was wondering what is your strategy to continue making money when things turn bearish?

Whether it's shorting, leveraging, trading, earning interest, finding hidden gems, longing coins that perform well in a bear market, investing in gold or the stock market or anything else, I'm interested to hear what strategies you are planning to use and how you are planning to execute them in order to continue making money. If you made money during the last bear market I would be interested to hear how you did that as well.

Thanks.
The things you must do when Bitcoin turns bearish is to hold what's available on you. Bearish is the season you buy more affordable coins then hold because you'll possibly get more percentage of bitcoin compared when it is bullish. You can also sell some of your coins that the price increases when bitcoin is in bearish.
75  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: At what Bitcoin price do you think altseason will start? on: October 28, 2021, 12:18:34 PM
Altseason is already ongoing.  Ethereum is more than $ 4k, BNB is $ 480. However, if the price of Bitcoin crosses $80k, then I think the next altseason will start.  However I think Bitcoin will not exceed $70,000. This is my personal opinion. Let's see what will happen in the near future.
but not completely. some altcoins are still not exploding, because bitcoin is still not sideways. Bitcoin is still unstable so the path for altcoins to reach the full altseason is still blocked. Some of the coins that keep showing ATH are SOLANA and those are some of my favorite coins.
We wont really able to determine if its already altcoin season or not because we could only know if its already happening but before that then theres no

way you could able to predict on when it would happen.We've seen that trend do changes in between Bitcoin and altcoin which means that
it wont really correlate from time to time.

This is why setting up yourself or positioning will really vary on someones risk taking factor and the rest will be basing on their intuition
and some basis.
I don't think it will mostly depend on price for us to tell that it is already the altcoin season. No one could tell if when is the start. But for me, as long as people starts believe in it and give their trust then it will be totally the start. Now, the price of bitcoin changes quite often, and it will be quite difficult to predict, so it means it won't really correlate from time to time. But, you must also expect the risk on it and be patient, knowledge also is very important.
76  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin the king on: October 28, 2021, 07:45:11 AM
Bitcoin will always be the king, it is not being called the father of cryptocurrency without nothing. Well, bitcoin is irreplaceable, no one can replace it, although some altcoins have a better performance but until now, they can't still cath up with bitcoin on it's position now. Bitcoin is also known all over the world, people knows it unlike other coins. As we can observe the development of market prices, it follows bitcoin. When Bitcoin goes down, other coins will goes down as well. And that's why bitcoin has it's position to be the king of cryptocurrency as bitcoin deserves it.
77  Economy / Economics / Re: Are banks needed for crypto? on: October 28, 2021, 05:02:25 AM
Banks and cryptocurrency are difficult to put together. In my opinion, I could say that cryptocurrency don't need banks because crypto has a strong security unlike banks. I think also that banks don't need cryptocurrency but it needs the blockchain technology to see every transactions in banks. But, I guess if they put together, the security system will be more stronger and a lot of things would be better, so, it would be an amazing thing.
78  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What the government expect from bitcoin legality? on: October 28, 2021, 12:56:10 AM
Bitcoin is not issued, endorsed, or regulated by any central bank. Instead, it is created through a computer-generated process known as mining. In addition to being a cryptocurrency unrelated to any government, bitcoin is a peer-to-peer payment system since it does not exist in a physical form. As such, it offers a convenient way to conduct cross-border transactions with no exchange rate fees. If bitcoin will be legal to government it will increase it's confidence in the eyes of the public. Cryptocurrencies will also grow faster with the legality of the government and I know we all expect this to happen.
79  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Do Young Investors Prefer Cryptocurrencies? on: October 27, 2021, 01:05:20 PM
Why do young investors prefer cryptocurrencies? Or, to put it more plainly, why do young people like crypto speculation? In the public eye, the phrase “crypto speculation” is often associated with negative implications such as “radical”, “high-risk”, and the “ambition” for getting rich. However, the preference for cryptocurrency among the young seems to be unstoppable. According to the latest report released by Crypto.com, in January 2021, there were 106 million crypto holders worldwide, and the figure has surged to 221 million by August 2021, compared to only 66 million in May 2020. The doubling of holders during six months shows just how popular cryptocurrencies are.

~snip~

Young investors prefer cryptocurrencies because they know how to manage it and maybe they have knowledge about it through the help of technology as it improving always. Cryptocurrencies now is very popular in social media such as Google, YouTube and other platforms. They also prefer crypto maybe because young people are now more familiar with the internet world, everything they do uses technology and they can already gain money through online. They are also flexible on making decisions, they are open minded and there are lot of options on where to invest. So, it's not surprising that young investors prefer crypto as it has a strong security system for the safety of their invested money.
80  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading with leverage on: October 27, 2021, 11:23:57 AM
Here are the pros I could sum up:

. First of course is the bigger market exposure. It seems like the right time to cash in on the crypto market, and for many beginners with limited capital, leverage seems to be the only option.
. Lesser risk when you set tight stops and trade smaller amounts. You don’t risk all of your capital and as you gain experience, learn how to navigate the leveraged trading market.
The biggest disadvantage obviously is the extreme volatility of the market which can magnify losses as much as it can increase profits through leverage.
How many of you here are using leverage to trade crypto, and how much, and through which broker? Let’s bring to light the many unknown aspects of crypto trading, besides what is known - that you screw things up when you don’t understand technical analysis and blindly enter and exit trades.
I think it doesn't matter if you have using leverage or not as long as you know what it is and how it can affect your trading journey ahead of you. Leverage trading as far as I know, in the most basic sense, is any type of trading that involves borrowing money or otherwise increasing the number of shares involved in a trade beyond the number of shares you could afford when paying in cash. It’s not a bad thing to trade on leverage if you know what you’re doing and understand the risks. But if that’s not the case, it’s extremely risky and you could potentially lose a lot more than you can afford to. Trading has a lot of risk that's why we need to be more careful on it.
