6061  Economy / Economics / Re: Top Three Emotions to Check to Succeed! on: July 30, 2019, 08:21:23 AM
That is the most difficult part. It's like you battle with your own self overcoming your emotion preventing to get ahead of you. It is not easy because it is part of the human nature, we aren't easily contented and crave for more.
Hence the reason the retard remain retards and the wise people dominate over them. Those who can control their emotions to a good extent are able to do things that others cant imagine and thus they think that the former must be god-like. Its not impossible to be a trader with a cold heart and only money making methods in mind if you have the proper psychological background and dont break under pressure.

However you can start by doing a risk management so you know that even if you lose all the money you invested you would still not be a be in a huge loss. I think this is one of the basis of the bad emotions coming in since it is not done properly. The what the OP mentions comes into play.
6062  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Private bounties on: July 29, 2019, 10:01:12 AM
it is suitable for getting those jobs to be telegram manager, translator and so on i think.

I estimate many projects have such a demand. But difficult to find.
These are all small term jobs for a small living. You all should not limit your vision to this much earning but dream big and for that you need to gain skills and knowledge and get a real life job that pays well. Of course not everyone is able to which I understand, but keeping yourself limited to these sort of work will move the bigger picture out of your mind.

Maybe you have good translation and communication skills - use them to get the job of on interpreter or a teacher in your local area. Bounties in this forum will not last forever. We dont even know if altcoins are going to survive well in future unless you sell them for bitcoins at proper pumps. So its always a good option to keep these earnings as secondary and have a solid primary job as backup.
6063  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: People expecting collateral for all loans on: July 29, 2019, 08:59:41 AM
What a business to be in, zero risk for the person lending out money, is completely backwards to the real world.  Most loans and credit is given without collateral.  People can ask what they want but lenders usually have a risk.
If you think like that, why dont you send out some of your cash to people you think would return them to you with x% interest per month and then observe how many actually return that money to you.

Dont compare lending to an investment banker investment here. The latter does have some guarantee and legal procedure in case of default. Come to this forum and reddit where people give out p2p loans there is no legal basis on which a defaulted loan may get sought after and thus people can just come to the forum with new accounts and as per your judgement should be given out free money by lenders only to get scammed.

If you still dont understand what the people in this thread have tried to say, then you need to seek professional advice because you are delusional and need treatment.
6064  Economy / Economics / Re: Are Blockchain Projects in Northeast Asia can change the economy? on: July 29, 2019, 08:53:02 AM
The technology there is already so advanced and people never refrain from using the new one's , the government is also so supportive .
I think they would set an amazing example and will see tremendous growth in the economy soon.
What makes you think that they would be willing to take the risk in a new sector or some known blockchain based projects? The current legality of bitcoin although legal in these countries but the picture is pretty tarnished back in US and majority of Asia.

Whether this can be changed in future is still a question. In case if bigger companies start accepting cryptocurrencies then we might see a change in the stance of the governments and then it might be worth seeking out such country people for a pitch. Till then I dont see any reason why any project would be able to get a decent financial support from them. Sad
6065  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you buy lottery online in bitcoin payment? on: July 29, 2019, 08:46:15 AM
There is no risk if you won the lottery. There should be no issue in claiming the lottery. The real issue is that if you do not win the lottery all your invested funds will be lost. That's the only reason i do not invest in lottery as it is too risky.
It is wrong to say that you "invest" in gambling because you dont. You gamble your money in trying to make more money and the method is lottery ticket buying. Investment is something of a broader term here and although this is debatable, I consider gambling to be a mode of entertainment and not a mode of making money. The only person making money is the bookmaker.

Whether you decide to buy lottery tickets is your choice. I see people of lower economic strata, not having much of a savings to do, waste their money gambling and buying lottery tickets. Its because they are trying their luck because they have nothing else to depend on.
6066  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Did i make or lose money on this trade? on: July 29, 2019, 08:41:25 AM
You cannot compare the usage or interest of both, when did usdt come into existence that people would trade more for it, the reason why many people trade for now is to earn some fiats and the most popular fiat we still know right now is USD, although we still have some people that are holding usdt, but they are doing so to actually continue to keep the value of the fiat that will be used for further trade.
Its called hedging and I would say they are being practical about the price if they are doing so. Not that I like USDT, I feel its a big ponzi nothing different from what fiat is in reality and it is just a digital representation of the same, just done by Bitfinex to promote it, powered by the FUD news spreading mass media. Again as long as it is present it is good option to tide over a bear market or just save your assets in some other form of value. But when is it going to collapse or when is another tether induced pump is coming is still a mystery.

Quote
Once people trade, they tend to convert it straight to USD because that is the best pair to use for getting their money into their traditional bank.
There are exchanges that allow directly payment on credit card if you need that. Cex is one such exchange but you would need pay some decent fees if you decide to proceed with this.
6067  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: KuMEX on: July 28, 2019, 07:29:09 AM
I guess every other exchange is envious of bitmex and their platform and is now willing to create their own version *cough* *cough* "Copy" of bitmex. The legal problem with bitmex just gives another window of opportunity to prey on the users of bitmex for a new derivatives platform and that is a good marketing method by launching it at this time. If it does launch that is.

Even then I was never a fan of leverage trading. More of the spot trading people is what I prefer. Take your risks if you like them though. I would be cautious about any new exchange even if it was being prepared by a previously known name.
6068  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What's your advisable source of capital to use for trading. on: July 28, 2019, 07:03:18 AM
I would never advice someone to take a loan for trading. After all trading is something that needs you to be able to hold that money for a long time, basically to get a proper price to buy bitcoin. Because that entry point is crucial in determining your exit strategy and profit thereafter, you would want to use your own money to trade and not someone else's.

Secondly, do not invest more than what you can lose. I cannot emphasize that enough, because once you have made a mistake and you start to regret it, a vicious cycle of depression and anxiety will start which you will not be able to break unless you have faith and emergency money at hand. These markets are very volatile and unpredictable such that investments should always be made strictly within limited amounts of incoming money.
6069  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin usage and misaligned expectations on: July 28, 2019, 06:59:46 AM
I'd say we do enough with our freedom of speech.  We call them out on their shenanigans and it seems to work for the most part.  Hopefully only a very small number of people still go away with the wrong impression after we've intervened to combat any FUD.  It's not the easiest job sometimes, but it keeps us in good practice for when the next troll inevitably appears.
Truely that is what I have been trying to tell. Both sides have full authority to say anything that want. Without looking at what others say about you make some enlightening discussions about bitcoin and its good and bad properties. How people have tried to make it look bad and what others think about it. Make a discssion which is both constructive, promotes constructive thinking and is objective enough and not too subjective.

We have only the power to telling people to become aware of frauds and we cannot make people not invest in them. So if we do our part, I think thats enough for one human to do their part than waste time on trolling trolls.
6070  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is parlay an effective betting strategy? on: July 28, 2019, 06:55:20 AM
None of the strategy gives the assured winning or recovery of the loss happened in the previous games. This way parlay strategy is completely related to the money flow of a gambler. Strategies were just a way to give hope to the gambler and with this it isn't possible to win. Maybe one in ten times of betting the strategy wins.
Parlay is not even a strategy. Its a method of playing that the casinos know gives an advantage to the house like always. They pry on the self-confidence of the players in order to make them bet a parlay of several games which they think will win but often times because of the confidence and rush they make a mistake, on which the casino banks.

If you have full confidence about some bets to be spot on then go for it. But bear in mind that the risk is also pretty high if you lose a few of the total bets in a parlay.

Too low.
Ends when I receive a decent offer.
This shows clearly that you have no idea what an auction is and how it is to be done by the one organizing it. I doubt you have this domain in possession to sell. Can you show any proof for that? If not to publicly but to any trusted escrow of this forum like Minerjones if you are worried about leaking sensitive information.

As best this topic is shady because the name of this domain would be quite sought after considering libra is a buzz word at this time and both legit users and scammers will be trying to get hold of any libra phrase domain asap.
6072  Economy / Economics / Re: IS THIS HOW USD IS CREATED? on: July 26, 2019, 08:53:03 AM
It was created by the banks by backing up their gold resrve but now a days the fiat money printed on no bases,they keep printing fiat as much as they want and issue the loans to get the prices inflated and keep on going.
Also the reason why inflation rates in some countries are beyond the skyline and people are thinking how to get their daily bread earned without going broke and also having enough money for daily expenses. Some countries have been able to control it although partially and temporarily but the things keep breaking out every now and then causing panic in the general population. Sad

Printing of fiat continuously have been the reason of inflation and economic collapse, but then again governments dont want to recognize this as a threat or look for alternatives to correct this problem.
6073  Economy / Economics / Re: Does China Control Bitcoin? on: July 26, 2019, 08:44:37 AM
Therefore,   I don’t think it is United states that controls crypto market neither. We could even say that it is china, because that is where 70%  of the miners are from, and what is crypto without the miners, so these is where we may say the control comes from majorly, even though they don’t have much influence in the market.
Miners do not control the network. That is the first thing what people are mistakenly writing here. What miners do is confirm transactions but they cannot take control of the network just because their mining power helps secure the network. If a group of miners like the Chinese decide to go rogue then other miners can take the upper hand are remain sound in securing the network making the former attack useless.

So that said, we can assume that nobody has the power or the ability to control the blockchain. Where this topic comes from is this misconception that some people have.
6074  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's the *easiest* profitable betting strategy? on: July 26, 2019, 08:40:40 AM
For me it is the the sports bet because most of the times I know the team who is playing the matches who is stronger and what are the probabilities of the them winning or losing. Though it may not always go correct but better than me gambling in some other games.
You should scout properly and see what different odds you are getting on separate markets and which one is getting your maximum confidence. Agreed sports betting is all whole different ball game since you have to analyze and do a lot of homework before you actually bet something. Some people do bet without thinking going with their favorite teams but that not logical at all.

At times I feel dice and other EV- games are like cheap thrills while sports poker and other EV+ games are for the grownups. Just my 2sats. Grin
6075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Slot Tournament on: July 26, 2019, 08:35:39 AM
Slot games really depend on luck. I personally experience defeat more than victory. However, this online slot tournament is a good choice because the prizes are very large compared to the usual slot game prizes. I will try it, hopefully, this time luck will be on my side.
Its better to say that slot games are only dependent on luck. Games like slots and dice are EV- games, so they dont need any of your so-called "strategies" to win because you cannot win them if you are addicted to them and keep on playing. The only way you can profit is to cash out the money when still on a green streak. Most people are incapable of doing so because they are in a rush at that time and want to win more and more leading to a huge loss all of a sudden.

I wont advice you to play, but its your choice what to do with your money.
6076  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Live long and prosper on: July 26, 2019, 08:32:43 AM
I believe that bitcoin can make many strong hands people to have stable life in the future. I really do hope so.
Bitcoin is not the magic pill to poverty, buddy. It is a monetary system which is decentralized and censorship resistant but that has nothing to do with removing poverty or improving lives of people. In other words, the rich people will remain rich and the poor will remain poor. You see those who are rich will buy more bitcoins than what the poor people can. In the end the price will rise so high that the poor people can only dream of buying a few satoshis while the rich ones will dump at huge prices.

How crypto will encounter poverty is something that is not the focus of discussion but it is a good investment, I agree considering the price range variation.
6077  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Rush money and BITCOIN on: July 26, 2019, 08:27:55 AM
Bitcoin is controlled by the holder and has nothing to do with the government, holding long-term bitcoin will be profitable, maybe there is a possibility that your country has bad politics and public trust in the government is also not good.
Bitcoin is not controlled by anybody. Get that fact straight. You are in control of your own coin and not anything more than that. As soon as your have made a transaction, it will be added to the public ledger the blockchain and the new owner of those coins will control them. Governments have no control over bitcoin and they will not in future under any circumstances be able to take control of it.

Politics in every country is bad, but you have to live with that because the absence of politics leads to struggle of power and anarchy. What that has impact on bitcoin will be seen in future as time passes but for the time being it is a good investment if bought at the proper price. Whether you like making money from the pump and dump is your decision to make.
6078  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Whats better holding many coins or fewer coins? on: July 26, 2019, 08:23:13 AM
Holding many coins is better because you have a lot of options to have a chance to meet your expectations to multiply your money .While if you have fewer money you can have a small options to have a big profit.
Both of these are wrong statements because none of them are absolute. While this may come out to be true in one instance it will fail in another instance and thus you cannot universally use them. If you buy too many coins you have actually wasted capital on buying nothing but shitcoins which are never going back up.

This leads to a vicious cycle of depression and anxiety and the only way to get out of it is when you sell, maybe at loss or not. But you wont be getting much of a profit. Luckily if one of those coins skyrocket in price and you manage to sell then you would profit. But the odds of the second outcome is very small.
6079  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 3 Basic Tips For Currency Trading Success on: July 26, 2019, 08:19:55 AM
In general I agree with your points, I would just put it more simple: education, strategy and cool head, in that order.
As a general method to follow, you are correct here. Without these three any type of work is going to fail, be it trading or anything that is not a speculative market game.

Quote
But all this comes with time and experience so it's not realistic to expect to become successful trader over night. And no one can actually teach you how to trade, there is no universal receipe, you have to figure it out on your own.
One can study the different methods shown in different sites and videos on the internet to learn about trading but being vigilant about paid media which are rampant nowadays because youtubers are money grabbing shills and nothing more. I would be skeptical about being taught about trading because I feel mistakes are our biggest teachers and if we dont rectify our mistakes then we will repeat them and that what we mostly lack and that is possible by doing trading and not listening to someone else.
6080  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you buy lottery online in bitcoin payment? on: July 25, 2019, 07:56:57 AM
Need very luck in lottery, i think maybe lottery game is for something that we don't have anything to do to spend our rest of money. Because if we really force our life or money to only spend in lottery, if luck not come to us we wouldn't get any win from it. Except, those who win 12 times in lottery that can found in this subtopic.
You should not waste money on lottery. That would be an absurd thing to do because you also have other expenses to cover and a future life to take care of. Lottery should be seen a fun mode of attempt to make money because nobody is going to win it everyday, otherwise casinos and bookmakers organizing them would not exist.

I can only think of retarded people going all in on any type of gambling, any logical person would refrain from doing so. But then again the casinos are flourishing so I can guess the majority of the gamblers who end up broke even trying lotteries are from the first group.
