There is no prediction of what will happen to altcoins. So, which altcoin you will invest in is a big question mark. With the halving approaching, the most logical investment is to invest in Bitcoin. We do not know whether altcoin prices will rise or not, or rather, we do not know which altcoins will rise. So I think you don't need to risk your money. I think the best investment for now is Bitcoin.

There are solid coins in the top 10, but we all know what can happen in the market. It no longer means anything for a coin to be in the top 10. It is best to invest in Bitcoin until the market regains confidence.

Alts are very much glued with Bitcoin i.e. whenever Bitcoin goes up the Alts go up and vice versa. You can invest in Alts but they will go up only once Bitcoin goes bullish. That's why its more appropriate to put most of your capital in bitcoin. There are thousands of Alts on CMC but most only top 10 or 20 on CMC are worthy to be invested. Secondly, just stay away from alts that are cheap in price they rarely go up and majority of people lost there money with hope of getting rich with small capital.
Well, I believe by alts with cheap prices you mean meme coins and shitcoins that have an infinite supply. Only newbies or people who are extremely greedy invest in such coins and tokens because they usually hear stories of a few people managing to get significant wealth by investing in some of these meme coins and now every single person wants to be in that place and get a lot of money from their small investments but they don't understand that it doesn't work that way.

Investing in such tokens is just like gambling where your chances of winning are way lower than winning and you should already know that you have risked your money if you are investing in these tokens. We all know that only a very small percentage of people manage to get success through gambling.

I do not know so we'll how Lewandoski will get that achieved this season but he has been leading the attackers well with Felix by his side.
After the massive win against Antwerp now try focus on Celta Bigo at home who they always get three points from easily when at home.
There will be some tired players bit Barcelona should get three points for that get still.
Real Madrid more possible to drop off points as they will face Diego Simeone and Athletico Madrid.
In the last 2 matches, Barcelona has been quite productive in scoring goals even though the opponents they have faced are weaker than them, but it can be seen that there has been an improvement in Barcelona's performance in the last 2 matches and the arrival of Joao Felix has been quite influential for Barcelona's front line.
And for Lewandoski, who has been talked about a lot since the start of the season because of his declining performance, I think now there is an answer, he now has a suitable tandem on the front line.
After first match their performance is improving, and they are giving their best with 2+ goals in every match is surely impressive from them now in coming weeks things could be much better and wide open for them because now their players are adjusting and giving their best which is their trademark in last game against Antwerp their new star Joao Felix who won MOM done impressive job which is giving impression things could be much better than last season in this event as well.

Robert Lewandowski who is their main striker now can feel better because his performance was not good but with this new star pressure is going to reveal, and he also can play better in coming weeks which allow Barcelona for the better results in coming rounds in all events.
603  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Retrospective airdrop experiences on: September 19, 2023, 05:39:34 PM
I didn't join a lot of it but I think BCH is the airdrop that the last one I've received. That's why I've missed a lot of them but I am not regretting that I've never joined a single of them since the last one that I've got for free. I'm just happy to see those people that have been sharing their wins with airdrops especially the last ones for this year which there have been tons of it in social platforms and even on the forum.
He is talkin about retro airdrops here and the one that you get on BCH seems different. BCH is a fork of BTC and as long as you have a BTC, you can get an equivalent amount of BCH (AFAIK). That happened long time ago. Unfortunately, I only a get a few of it because I only have a small amount of BTC that time.

Yes, you shouldn't regret of the airdrops because many of them are just a scam. I'm sure what you are doing by the time they are coming out are more worth it. NFT and P2E games on the other hand are popular last time but again, many of them are just a flop. But if only you don't hold them longer maybe you can also earn something out your capital.
604  Economy / Economics / Re: Teaching My Nephews About Wealth Through the Game of Monopoly on: September 19, 2023, 04:01:10 PM
And the developers of Monopoly became millionaires because they convinced others that their game would teach children to become rich.
The Monopoly game is only a simplified investment simulator. And the fact that a child plays the game well will not guarantee a result for him if he does not master the skills of an investor, but perhaps the game will shape the child’s interest in studying finance.
I think they didn't say that but their intention might be different and that is they are like gambling who only offers entertainment. Can't you notice that people also change the way gambling created? They think it can make them rich through it, but we all know that it is impossible so they find their selves having a problem.

Monopoly might only be better though because as you said it's like an investment simulation so we can still get an idea about it how investing works. If we can maximize it by learning other aspects in investing, there is a big chance that we can be a successful investor. Kudos to the OP for having this kind of idea. It could make things easier for the both of them.
605  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Suggest Low Cap altcoins for next bull run on: September 19, 2023, 03:18:46 PM
SEI is a low cap altcoin which has the opportunity for the price to increase very high and enter the top 100 on coinmarketcap, therefore I suggest you to invest in SEI at this time, because the price of SEI is being corrected and this is an opportunity for us to invest in SEI and hold until the next bullrun occurs, so I'm sure you will get a lot of profit from investing in SEI at this time, because the price of SEI will increase very high in the future.
I think the coin did already start great. Everyone is talking about it last time and it's airdrop also help it to be talked about. Maybe there is more to come from this coin so we can try to invest on it and wait for the bull run to come or maybe a couple more years since it was still kinda new so it may take time to see it's full potential. Apart from SEI, there are also Aptos, Arb, Space ID, Zsync (to name a few) because I might forgot the others.

I think these coins are like the batch mate of SEI because their release dates are close to each other if I'm not mistaken and like SEI, those coins seem to have a potential and they are also being talked about because of their promising airdrops but I think it's not easy to participate on it.
606  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are memecoins tarnishing the image of crypto? on: September 18, 2023, 08:41:34 PM
We can't deny the fact that these meme coins and tokens have some influence to a lot of newcomers in this market.
They have come to know about crypto because of these projects, so we can't totally discard their significance in this industry.
However, users or investors should still do their own job of research or study on what and how to invest on this market.
Not all meme projects are popular as doge, or shib. Even shib, I still doubt their longevity on this market.
So it is not because they are tarnishing the image of crypto, but all these creators who have no aim but to screw naive users, are those that ruining the image of this type of project.
Are you saying that as a positive thing when you say that a lot of newcomers are influenced by the meme coins? I don't see that as a positive but it leaves a negative effect on those newcomers since it makes them think that cryptocurrencies are a get-rich-quick scheme which is not true but when they hear about meme coins and the significant success some people have received because of them, they will surely think that way about the market.

So, I believe meme coins and shitcoins are actually creating a negative image for cryptocurrencies among new investors because they don't do their research and just believe that all cryptocurrencies are like meme coins when the reality is totally different than that and cryptocurrencies don't provide that much profit in such short periods of time.
607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: September 18, 2023, 05:08:31 PM
It’s obvious that the Saudi league is growing and getting bigger and better. They’ve been doing a whole lot to bring up their league and getting more publicity and attention. They’re likely to create a competitive league in the near future if they keep at getting more players from all over to compete and play in their league.
They’ve gotten new fans now watching them play and the publicity is likely to get even better as they continue to make new and better improvements. It would probably be a long time before  they could equal the EPL but they’ll likely get there some day.
Someday they could level the standard of EPL, but this isn't very near. Saudi Arabia Pro League is running successfully and the big reason behind is the support from the government. Not many government does it, the country find this as a way to bring people into the country and invest. The league that is traditional and old have been made more popular with the involvement of more number of popular faces. Big money spent on players when the western clubs were struggling financially is perfect execution for success of the league.
I am not agreed here, it has never been easy to reach near EPL even they have enough money and support from the government because here we need quality, consistency and performance in depth even their recent success is amazing but still they need nearly 2 or 3 decades to reach into top ten leagues around the world with they need to spend their funds like this during this all period as well which is surely not easy but as they are working on their target hopefully they could be able to stay at this level for long time.

After the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo now we have very long list of quality players those are here for their game and money, but now they need to develop academies and also having few other changes as well which help them for having better results in long run.
608  Economy / Economics / Re: for anyone interested in how much their personal data is worth on: September 17, 2023, 06:24:32 PM
It sucks getting your data sold online but there are a few things you can do to limit it. Try to use strong unique passwords, enable two factor authentication, keep devices & software updated. Limit personal information shared online, get a reputable VPN for encrypted internet traffic. Try to remember to review & adjust privacy settings. Even something as simple as not clicking on suspicious links or downloading unknown files can help. Always use reputable antivirus software & keep it updated.
As long as you are using the internet and accessing any website or service or platform, there is absolutely no way for you to prevent your data from being shared because you can't keep using a VPN your whole life and some platforms don't even allow that. You also can't stop using some platforms that might be important for you, you might have clients or do work at a certain platform and if you use a VPN, you can access it, so you don't have a choice in that case.

They got tactics they use to collect our data and we don't even realize it, even the clicks that we do, the searches we make on any platform including Google, the messages we send between each other, almost each and everything is recorded and sold to companies for some purpose and we are the victims of that.
609  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If only property I have is bitcoin on: September 17, 2023, 04:34:31 PM
So I was asking myself different questions because I have no wife and no child, then I began to think and be questioning myself if it will be good to at least tell one person in my family my seed phrase or should I keep having the perso secret of my seed phrase personal or should I keep my bitcoin document on my wardrobe were they can easily see my seed phrase, that time I was of full of thinking, thank God  I recover fully from the illness before i return to forum...no sympathy
I hope you are doing okay now since you said you have recovered from the illness. So, your situation is quite complex, because generally, when we have property and also have a family of our own which is our wife and children, what we do in that situation is we write a will and give it to a lawyer so that he can read the will to the family once we are no more. In our will, we can write about the Bitcoin holdings that we have but we wouldn't write the seed phrase in it since there is a possibility that the lawyer might steal them and change the will.

So, the solution could be that you keep your assets in a hard wallet, keep that hard wallet somewhere safe, and then write about it in the will so that your family can get that wallet after reading the will and they can get access to your Bitcoins. If you trust someone in your family, you can also tell them about it without having to go through all that.
610  Economy / Speculation / Re: The time has finally come...??? on: September 17, 2023, 10:11:09 AM
I would love to know you all's predictions for the next bull. I'm thinking anywhere around $100,000? May looking at how far the previous bull runs were able to reach, I think that would be a good price to place it 😊👍, but I'm still open to whatever wild opinions you all may have. Roll Eyes
Well, just as you have said, considering the fact that the previous bull run started when the price of Bitcoin was around $7000 , and was able to reach the all time high or $69,000, so let's assume the coming bull run will start at $25,000 or let's be more conservative and say $20,000, then, it is very possible that the price of Bitcoin will reach $100,000 and even surpass it.

This is also considering the fact that the coming bull run might be the biggest we've ever seen , and are going to see in the history and future of Bitcoin and the entire crypto currency space, if all the current developments that are on pending come to positive fruition, then it is very imminent or sure , that the next all time high of Bitcoin price will be well above a hundred thousand dollars .
Whether how big or small the bull run will be can only be determined once it comes and goes, we can't really know if it's going to be the biggest one or not because it is not going to be the end of it and it is not like a finale episode or a last stage of a game where we get to see the boss and then boom, it's all over. No matter how high the market and Bitcoin go in the bull run, remember that there can always be another cycle where the growth percentage might go higher than this.

So, you can say that this could be the biggest bull run that we have seen so far, but you can't say that it is going to be the biggest one that we will ever see as that would be a wrong statement since we haven't seen the future and the future can behold things beyond our thoughts and expectations.
611  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: percentage of your income you dollar cost average in bitcoin on: September 16, 2023, 05:09:40 PM
what portion of your overall income do you keep aside for the purpose of dollar cost averaging in bitcoin, and what methodologies or criteria do you employ to establish this allocation, thereby guaranteeing a well rounded strategy that aligns beautifully with your individual financial objectives and your level of comfort in dealing with financial risk?
Well, I don't really earn a lot of money. I get paid weekly, but I take out 5% of the total monthly income and I keep that aside so that I don't spend it and can buy Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies with it. I don't buy immediately after I get paid, I keep the money in liquid cash until the time when I see the price is good for buying, and then I start buying in portions like 25% of the total amount that I have for investments, and I buy again when the market dips further.

If I see the market is going up, I buy a bit extra so that I don't miss the opportunity that I have right now because the cryptocurrency market is extremely unpredictable and there is always the possibility that the market goes straight up without coming back down once it starts going up.
612  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Mainstream coins or altcoins? on: September 16, 2023, 04:15:39 PM
Perhaps I've always been a lone ranger, which sometimes makes me feel lonely. I'd like to connect with cryptocurrency investors from around the world and share our insights and experiences.
I assume by mainstream coin you mean Bitcoin, however, you should have specified your question in the starting post as well because titles can be confusing sometimes. Anyway, I don't really need to make a choice between the two since I can always have both. Bitcoin will be the first choice, without a doubt, but altcoins will also get their place in my bag because I believe in diversification and there are also some altcoins that I like and that are trusted.

Ethereum is my second choice after Bitcoin when it comes to long-term investments because I believe it is the most trustable altcoin in the market, it has been around longer than every other altcoin and it has never faced any problems such as extreme crashes or anything, so that makes it a good coin.
613  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Never Marry a Coin/Project - Practically Example on: September 16, 2023, 06:31:23 AM
In just 69 days after investing in Dogecoin, Glauber's $250,000 dollar investment had turned to about $3,000,000 dollars(three million dollars), But Glauber did not sell, neither did he take profit, he held onto his dogecoin strongly believing that dogecoin will hit $1 per coin before the 2021 bull run ends, bull eventually came to an end and prices started going down, but Glauber never sold or bothered to take profit..

As of between August and September of 2023, the screenshot below, taken from his official X account, tells the current state of that $250,000 dollars investment, which was once worth $3 million dollars..
Did he know that Dogecoin is actually a meme coin when he invested in it and when his investment became worth $3m? If he knew about that, he should have done some research about what a meme coin is and how their nature basically is. You can't even trust a normal altcoin that has a good project and a team backing it up because once they come down, they barely go back up so quickly and crossing their all-time high is a very far thing to happen.

He was probably too confident with his investment and that made him bear the consequences of it. One should obviously at least withdraw the initial investment along with some profits if they don't want to sell everything. He could sell $1m worth of Dogecoin so that he could at least repay the loan or get back what he had invested.
614  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bull Run within Q4 of 2024? on: September 15, 2023, 03:52:10 PM
Bitcoin will have its halving in Q2 2024, in April. After halving, a few months later Bitcoin usually has its bull run. After Bitcoin starts its bull run a while, altcoins will have their bull runs.

Q4 2024 or Q1 2025 till Q2 2025 will be time for altcoin bull runs.
Are you expecting altcoins to have a separate bull run? I don't think that's really going to happen because the market generally moves up and down with Bitcoin, and if Bitcoin's bull run is over, there will be no bull runs for altcoins and people shouldn't really keep holding their coins, and tokens hoping that there will a separate bull run for altcoins and then they will sell their assets. I have never seen that happening in the past and I don't think things have changed.

Altcoins will start going up along with Bitcoin because when people start investing, they invest in altcoins as well and that is what causes the bull run in the first place. There will be no bull run if there is absolutely no demand for Bitcoin or altcoins, if more people are not willing to buy, the ones who bought earlier won't be able to sell their coins at a higher price.
615  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading not for everyone! on: September 14, 2023, 04:01:20 PM
nice advice for new traders, they come to trading thinking, i will make 5%-10% profit per day by using leverage, but in trading very low percentage of people can make profits consistently,
beginners used to think i am too smart i will win from the market but they blow their accounts many times, and do not take the truth that trading is not for them, some go in depression after losing so much money,
and wasting their time. it's better to hold for long term it will be more profitable then trading.
Failure shouldn't be a reason for us to give up, however, I don't recommend newbie investors to get into futures trading right after entering the market because it is extremely risky and only those that have a lot of knowledge and experience about the market can actually get success in it. So someone who is just starting their journey with cryptocurrencies should start with the spot market where they can buy and sell cryptocurrencies without leverage and margins, etc.

And even for starting with spot market, one needs to gather enough information and knowledge so that they don't invest their money in the wrong cryptocurrencies. So, it's always important to first learn the basics and then get into the practical work, especially if you are entering a financial market.
616  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: There are a lot of scams on Twitter, and illegal links steal your assets. on: September 13, 2023, 08:05:05 PM
Why didn’t you check Twitter audit Report of that Account? Followers can be bought with money, that isn’t a new thing in social media profile holder. Account can be verified for money also. But don't trust any verified account or the account with lots of followers. And other part is, stop clicking link when you logged in your account. If you want, then copy the link and paste another brower for test. Such way may help you a little for Being scam.
What you suggested wouldn't make a difference, it's not just about clicking that link but it's about interacting with the page that gives them access to your accounts or maybe your computer if they can inject a malware into your PC through the page when you interact with it. However, the thing is, we should avoid using websites of any kind that we don't trust because any website can be a scam these days, and we need to be careful from every single one of them.

Twitter has always been the place for scammers to scam innocent people with fake followers and fake accounts most of the times. They always post links to websites where they pretend to be giving away money, NFTs, airdrops and people believe in them because they are greedy and also because the scammers impersonate official handles of projects.
617  Economy / Economics / Re: Building wealth it's not just one time Luck on: September 13, 2023, 06:28:35 PM
There is absolutely no one-time luck in financial markets. It is possible to become rich with a single transaction but it is impossible for this transaction to be realized in the first transaction that a person makes. Finding a transaction that can make the money worth several times is possible by having a variety of infrastructure such as experience, market analysis, foresight and risk taking. Also, the management of such a lucrative position is certainly not possible without experience.

In other words, a person who makes a very high profit with a single transaction has actually made hundreds of unsuccessful transactions before this transaction and has gained experience by being disappointed many times. In other words, although it seems that he/she is someone who has become rich with a single transaction he/she is actually someone who has gained painful experience with many transactions and has earned a good amount of money with a nice transaction while chasing opportunities.
Well, you probably know about meme coins, which are actually the reason why all new investors of the cryptocurrency market think that it's very easy to get a lot of wealth with cryptocurrency investments which is actually not true but just because a few meme coins managed to gain significant hype in the market and made a few millionaires among their early investors, everyone started thinking that they can achieve that feat too if they keep trying all the time.

This mindset is the reason why thousands of meme coin creators manage to get a lot of money and then run away with the funds because they know they won't get enough hype and they have already got way more than they might have used themselves for creating those tokens and marketing them a little bit.

Not gonna lie, Chelsea has started this season pretty badly again. I am just amazed that they are still not being able to perform well even after spending so much money. And they have tried everything at this point. They have tried spending money to improve the squad. They have also tried making an overhaul of the squad. And so far nothing seems to work for them. Right now they are in the same position in which they have ended the last season, the 12th position. After all they had done, I thought they would start the season well. Now the only problem seems to be them needing a good coach. Because they have tried everything else.
Second game of this season for Chelsea on road as in first game they completely outclassed by West Ham United, and now they are going to face Bournemouth even they are in deep trouble but still this is not going to be easy game for the Chelsea because their inconsistency and poor performance clearly giving all details about their quality for this season with no doubt it is early days for the Pochettino but still it is not good start which can ruin them again in this season here we need a better and solid strategy from new coach with no interference from the owner as well which can give better results, but surely it's really important for them to have positive changes in early days of this season otherwise they can go down and out of the top again in this if thing have not positive change in near future.
619  Economy / Speculation / Re: Should we rely on prediction? on: September 12, 2023, 06:41:34 PM
If a person listens to other people's advice when investing, then of course such purchases will not do any good. Usually, so-called experts talk about some projects that can bring profit in the future only because of their own profit. More often it turns out that the person who listened to such advice ends up losing money.
If you want to make a profit by investing you have to invest in some good coins but you have to take risk before investing. Some times experienced investors lose their money after investing due to some small mistakes. We always have to be careful and invest. For investing I  Always support Bitcoin. Because the chance of losing money after investing in Bitcoin is very less so I think it is safe to invest in Bitcoin. There are some people who risk their money without investing in Bitcoin.
There is nothing wrong in investing in altcoins as long as you are choosing the best ones and you have done your research before doing that so that you are not investing in altcoins that have no potential at all and your investment will simply get stuck if they take a dip and don't go up again after that. Choosing altcoins within the top 5 or maybe 10 cryptocurrencies listed on sites like Coinmarketcap should give you good profits once the market enters the bull run.

Bitcoin is obviously the best cryptocurrency for investments out there without a doubt, but having some diversification in your portfolio can go a long way because there are some altcoins that might have a better growth percentage than Bitcoin during the bull run and if you have them in your portfolio, you will get some profit as well.
620  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Typical scenario when you are losing on: September 12, 2023, 05:55:00 PM
Captain bad luck strike me hard once again on the start of this week. I commit again this scenario "Playing gambling after a recent huge win" for whatever freaking reason that tingling me to play despite I'm really controlling myself to abstain today since I'm in a huge profit last week.

I had a total of 500$ by playing slowly from Monday to Saturday then I rest on Sunday. I was planning to abstain gambling this weekend but guess what. My initial 100$ loss turns into 600$ loss real quick. 20 Straight blackjack hands with high bet doesn't gave any profit. I really feels like the casin is just getting back what I win for experiencing this terrible loss.

On the brighter side, I can finally abstain gambling this week now that my profit and initial bankroll already gone.  Cheesy
That's a sign of an irresponsible gambler. And you definitely lack self-control because if you had self-control, you would never do that and you would simply keep the money and gamble later. It is also not recommended to keep betting on the same game hoping to finally get a win when you can clearly see that you are constantly losing. Simply get out of that game and the casino itself when you don't see any fruitful results only to save the remaining balance.

If I were you and I was really to try my luck just to see, I would go and play a slots game only to see if I'm getting anything or not, and if I had no proper wins within about 20 to 30 spins, I would just get out of the casino and keep the balance there so that I can come back later and try again and I might be able to win something.
