721  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - Drake, UFC, Everton, Alfa Romeo F1 Team on: July 26, 2023, 04:35:03 AM
Unfortunately that's only half the truth. The increased rewards for the VIP level are only on paper now, but not in reality.

I know that you can't expect the casino to pay you forever. But a weekly of 0.08$ or less for inactive accounts that maybe lost 50k and more lifetime is a bit harsh. Worst this is the promise of the VIP hosts.
The reloads that come with a host were promised to be permanent. Several people pointed that out here. I also saw that writing on the stake site.

With my first stake account I got my host at platinum 1, till had it at platinum 2 but then got limited and abandoned this account. 2 months later the VIP host, the reloads, the VIP group bonus, it all was gone and he told me if I wager around 50k again I might get him back. Later when I messaged him and saif if this is still on, he said, nah you have to wait until platinum 3 (now platinum 4) to get these benefits again. So what he said first, I can get him back, was also a lie.

That's how they treat their customers, telling stories to make you wager, and when it comes to pay up, suddenly eveything has changed.
I do not think that's harsh, first of all people who lost that much got more while they lost it, secondly if they already got what they deserved for what they did "once upon a time" why would they keep getting money from them?

I mean you got it right, it is not okay to ask for them to pay you forever that never makes sense and if you think that people weren't fairly compensated then maybe we can discuss what they could have gotten when they wagered 50k, that would make sense because if you want more while you are losing that I can understand. But they shouldn't ask for more after they stopped playing. Why would stake keep paying to an inactive account that hasn't gambled, that makes no sense to me at all, they should keep it at zero if you ask me.
722  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will the altcoin go up in price if the bitcoin price goes up? on: July 25, 2023, 08:16:40 AM
sometimes bitcoin and altcoins move together, but you can be sure that if bitcoin has increased then altcoins will also experience it, what is usually done by speculators is when bitcoin is bullish and is considered to have reached its climax, they will look for potential altcoins to buy and have not experienced a significant increase, so they still have hope of getting profits according to their targets. things like that often happen during the bullish season and prove to be profitable
Generally, in a bullish market, all the cryptocurrencies tend to go up along with Bitcoin, they don't go down or stay stable when Bitcoin is going up, altcoins are following the trend, and as soon as Bitcoin stops going up, altcoins also stop right there, and then move again when Bitcoin does. Sometimes, when the market is in normal conditions, like no bull no bear, some altcoins tend to move in the opposite direction from Bitcoin, if it's going up, they go down, and vice versa.

But this doesn't happen very often and not with every single cryptocurrency, it only happens sometimes with only a single or a couple of cryptocurrencies, and it doesn't continue for long too, it starts doing this now and it might go up and come down a bunch of times, and then it starts following Bitcoin again.
Depends on the project really. I know that the market in general goes up, but during bull markets there are a lot of projects that scam people and rug pull as well. Their aim is to get rich and they create fake stuff and just steal peoples money, or they may end up getting hacked as well, some hacker finds a loophole in the system and just takes all the money. This is why it would be smarter if they could just end up getting some money some other way as well.

This is not going to be easy but we are going to end up with something that would be risky even during bull run. This is why always invest in projects you trust, or you are going to end up very much like Luna investors and lose all your money along wit hit.

When we are making decisions on this kind of instance, we need to focus on both the present and the future consequences of taking such decision in working together with people, not everyone likes a joint or partnership investment because the later end will always looks shady amidst the fellow investors and everyone finally partways, anything that has to do with money must be on a sole proprietor business ownership and not joint task, but there are situation whereby some business could actually requires such, we can take the risk in starting even though the relationship with them in doing business together may not last, joint effort is discouraged in some situations and some settings awesomely welcomes such an idea.
This is why I would never do this because there aren't that many people that I would be believing to do something like this. I would feel that I am about to get screwed over and that's why I rather not do it at all. I have once did it in my life as a "wager", like I gave my money to a friend who said he could double it and said that if he can't then we all knew that he had enough money to pay me anyway, and he did, and proved it as well like not that he put his money on top of it, and even then I was scared like crazy.

I did it because it was a bet between friends, not really care about the outcome of it to be fair, I just wanted to bet with a friend, and if I felt like that with a friend, it would be impossible for me to do it any other way.
724  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are the steps in understanding technical analysis? on: July 24, 2023, 02:56:30 PM
There's a lot of sources right there in the internet you can take video courses like fundamentals and technical analysis there are some posts in social media offering a book that you could read related how to manage your money with trading properly, just use the internet in just a second you can now get the information you want to. Some people offer their services like boot camps (personally I'm not a fan of it ideal to learn by yourself), somehow there's a different story that they succeed in life but some others don't. Take time to learn and take it slowly not as always there's a shortcut like here in trading you need experience, patience and knowledge with your trades.
This is the right approach but you need to be careful about it because if you are not then you are going to end up losing a lot of money on it as well. Unfortunately there are a lot of people who still do not know how to make money and how to study, if they find something very cheap and terrible and study from there then they are not going to learn most stuff.

I do not know if there is a consensus on which website or video that is the best on teaching these stuff but it should be very important to make sure that you end up studying at the right place. If not, then you are going into the war with no shield, against people with swords and axes and shields, which will make you more vulnerable and you are going to lose out most probably.
Studying from wrong sources could make you lose a lot of money as well, I can't really specifically say something about which ones are the best ones because I do not want to suggest something and then it turns out not a good one and all that, I rather not take that headache right now in my life. But at the end of the day, we are talking about something that would be easy to find online and you could ask people around if it's a good one or not.

If you pick a bad source, then even if they do what you guys are saying, which is study and learn, then they are going to still lose a lot of money. I hope that it doesn't get to that point and we get to see the situation a lot better for newbies. We need a very famous website for something like this.
725  Economy / Economics / Re: Should I Use Emergency funds or Sell my Assets ? on: July 24, 2023, 08:40:54 AM
We all know that cryptocurrency is a risky investment and it isn't easy to HODL your bitcoin unless you have savings that you could use if you experience problems and badly needed some money. Make sure to only invest money that you could afford to lose on cryptocurrency because if you are not careful you could possibly lose it all if you invest all of your money in cryptocurrency and then you didn't have savings something like health insurance if you needed money if your sick or one of your family members is sick where are you going to get that money your just gonna end up selling your cryptocurrency and probably end up with a lose.

I think in your situation you should use your emergency funds since it's for an emergency, if you use that money you could avoid selling your cryptocurrency assets meaning you're avoiding losing money, but I guess if its a good time to sell and you could make a profit if you sell if you make a decision to sell your cryptocurrency it doesnt matter since you already make a profit another opportunity will come to reinvest your money again on cryptocurrency or other investments.
I believe that it depends a bit on the emergency as well in this situation. Like just this Sunday I was taken to hospital, and I had to get MR scan and all that bells and whistles, in my nation thankfully it is not as expensive as USA so I was fine, but I had to sell just a bit of my bitcoins to pay for that, because I had no money left in either my credit card or debit card to pay for that and survive until the end of the month.

I am fine, just that it was an unexpected stuff and not like I cashed out a lot, I cashed out only what I saved last month, so it wasn't really much big deal at all, it was definitely small detail only. But I had to, and I did, didn't even worried about it, because that's literally why it's there.
726  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: US Presidential candidate announces plan to back the US dollar with Bitcoin on: July 24, 2023, 05:11:28 AM
It's because this politicians isn't popular, especially outside US. It would be different if popular candidate such as Biden or Trump said it.
Of course, this was not a serious question, because it is quite clear what kind of candidates have the only chance to become president in that country for the last 20 years. Completely incompetent like Bush Jr., those who promote war and then award themselves the Nobel Peace Prize, or complete lunatics and senile people shaking hands with the air and inviting the dead to join them on stage.

The one we're talking about wouldn't be a logical continuation, although I'm not surprised anymore when it comes to this country.
I mean it's not about who would be the "best" candidate, it's about who would be likely. No matter how senile or not Biden is, he is the running president right now, how many times in your life you have seen a president not go for a reelection? When you are the president, it's like an automatic way of getting another nomination, that's just how it works.

Trump was the worst president I have seen in many decades, since like papa bush he has been the worst (don't remember before that due to my age) and he still got nomination by landslide. I bet that Biden will get it like with 99% of the votes, that's how it works. I know that it's going to be tough, but that's how it works and we are going to see him nominated again.

Creating the thread to all forum users who are engaging on Linea Voyager Quest. Heads up to all, we can all discuss and help out each other upon completing this task for the Linea testnet campaign on galxe. Im starting off the discussion with the official link of Galxe campaign:

https://galxe.com/Linea/campaign/GCzWYUZXj4


Also its quite comparable the last quest with 2500 points to the normal quest of Linea through on chain and off chain weekly task. 11m total participants vs 300k plus means the difference are too big for real users.

A lot of "new" projects try to be better at something compared to other projects, and that makes me laugh because Bitcoin has probably the worst blockchain them all and still at the time, hell even ETH has worse than most others and still at the second place, and BNB was third for so long and will be third again I am sure and it's just a centralized money toy of CZ.

If you think that there is something that you can technically do that makes the project liked a lot more, then you haven't figured out what makes a project stand out. What makes a project stand out is the marketing, if you do marketing and PR very well then people will be on your side defending you against anyone else and put their money into that project as well.
728  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 23, 2023, 05:03:19 PM
Harry Kane is the star of the previous and current transfer window by far, along with Mbappe. These two players are gonna quit their clubs in one year, refuse to sign a new contract with them, willing to play with their teams and moving out as free agent. This made their administration mad and don't have much choice.
Harry Kane is a player with big hopes and a lot of teams including Bayern Munich are interested in signing with him that why The competition is to high so its unclear where he will ultimately land. It is only natural for a Bayern Munich fan to wish for the best but it also be sensible and avoid obsessing about Kane probable acquisition. I think With or without Kane Bayern Munich has a powerful team that can continue to be a top contender in the Bundesliga standings. Lets have faith in the club skills and anticipate a thrilling season
Just because Bayern "may" get Kane doesn't mean that is the only player they could get to be better, I understand that Tuchel wants him and looks like he would be good for the team, but we could also see them get another player if Kane doesn't pan out.

Asking for way too much for Kane makes it harder for Bayern to get him, and spending this much on a single player is not something Bayern is too used to doing, they didn't even spend quarter of that for Mane, which turns out to be a good move and that's why they shouldn't get that much money for Kane neither. It would be better if they somehow end up with a cheaper younger player who could have a much better future, that way they could keep him playing for a while, and sell for a lot more later on.
729  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto experienced bloodshed on: July 23, 2023, 08:24:33 AM
Everyone here is a winner by simply buying in the dip. But it seems that we are on track to keep and defended $30k at least for this month. Ripple news last week was good for us as it has a trickle effect on the market on bitcoin.

But after that, it seems that we are still back from as high as $31k to the current price.

So there's no more bloodshed and I don't see it happening in the future unless there is a black swan event.
I feel like that news was overblown anyway, it wasn't all that amazing and the increase looked to be a fake one. In any case, we are at a stage where we are going to do fine, not amazing but just fine and that means we could make a profit one way or another. I know that it is going to take some time for it to happen but we could do it if we can wait for it. I know a lot of people who do not think that it is going to be an easy choice, but we are going to make it work anyway.

So, just put up with it and we could end up making some profit from it as well. Right now it's low, and that means we have a chance to get in when it's low and wait for it to go up and then sell in order to make a lot of profit as well, that's a good choice.
730  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How would you measure your success in Crypto currency on: July 23, 2023, 05:50:18 AM
Crypto have been my life saver hence I am unemployed and only taking of my family, even without a job I can still provide for the family due to crypto and I am truly thankful for that because despite all the hardships and obstacles in my crypto journey I still be able to cope up with. Still doing airdrops, bounties and doing testnet campaigns and hoping to make a jackpot towards it. Truly I can tell the I have success and failures in crypto but continues to move forward on my journey.
I won't stop you from participating in airdrops or keep on hunting bounties but rather spend your time learning about trading. Because it was hard to look for hope in airdrops where almost 100% are scams and useless tokens. I will tell you that you can never find success from that but you can find it from trading. Yes, many had failed from doing this but who knows if you can make things right and you are good at this. Because from this, you can actually find hope, and was not impossible to succeed.
I believe whenever people have a temporary money in their pocket they can live for a while, I think they should look for a way to learn a skill that can make it a permanent situation. Learning how to design, code, or do whatever, marketing is the most important skill of them all, if you learn marketing very well then you can sell anything and make money from affiliate income of it.

So if that person made money from airdrops, that's temporary and they are not going to make that all the time, it would be much better if they learn how to do a better job with leering better skills and then use those skills to find jobs in the crypto market. I have done that, and I am quite happy with the situation without a doubt.

It is not an uncertainty a currency system that is governed and controlled by the government must have total control mechanisms in place. It would be insane and absurd if they did not have those mechanisms for control.
I am not sure what any of this means but if it is true and Brazil is trying something like this, I am sure that it is not going to be the end result, they will keep on working for the end result and we are going to see many things change over course of time. I know that it is going to be not so easy for many people but I feel like it is going to be alright.

The best thing we could see right now is to make sure that we are at a stage where having this kind of result will not be too bad, nations should do this to prevent USDT type of companies not to corner the market. Brazil may not be the one we are looking for but it is not a too low country neither, it can get it heard and be an example for some of the other nations as well.
732  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the difference between banks and big whales in crypto? on: July 22, 2023, 05:39:03 PM
Banks are earning big profit from our deposits, they earn bigger than the interest that we get from our deposit because they put a bigger interest rate through thier borrower's or lenders, i think bank is not too far from big whales in crypto they buy or collect coins in dip and they sell in bull and they earn bigger from the holders that sell at loss  they are almost the same or what? What dou you think?
It looks the same but it's not, because banks are institutions that use other people's money to make a profit by offering services whereas whales are more for individuals and the money he uses is his own and the profit he gets is not because he offers services to other people but sees opportunities from bearish or bullish times but both have the same orientation namely profit, and the bank's profit is to continue developing their business while the whale's profit is to make them richer because assets increase, but both are trying to get richer.
I think we could compare banks in fiat world to exchanges in the crypto world. In the end when you are spending your credit card, you give some of it to the bank, the shop gives some of it to the bank, and then shop owner goes spends that and gives some to the bank as well.

As you can see all the money in the world ends up in the banks hands, and they are not like some human who needs to spend, they just collect it forever, hence we keep needing to print money in order to prevent them from having all the money in the world one day. Same with exchanges, when you trade in an exchange, the buyer and the seller both pays. Hence banks are like exchanges if you ask me, the comparison is uncanny and it's very similar to each other.
733  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Shiba Inu turns into privacy coin like Monero or ZCash? on: July 22, 2023, 12:11:32 PM
I already give all of my transactions and trades and movements to my government, with my information, and pay my taxes on that. I am not sure why that would be a bad thing at all.

I understand why people wouldn't want to pay taxes to their government, but without you paying your government, then the world would be in chaos and it would be naive to think that they use all of your tax money on you, of course they steal, they are politicians, that's their job but they also spend some on keeping the nation going, so even though we hate our governments, we still have to pay our taxes to keep the nation going, and if we don't and they bankrupt because of it, we will be the ones that bankrupting because of it, that's not a good alternative.
That is the right thing to do, and that is how the world turns. There will always be some people who will think individually, they will think "I shouldn't pay taxes and find loopholes to avoid it" even when they know that government has to sustain to keep them alive as well, they just think others would pay their fair share of taxes, or they just think there are other people who do not pay full of their taxes so why they should and these type of thinking causes a lot of people to try to avoid their crypto taxes as well.

If you traded and if you made some profit then you should pay the taxes of that if the country wants it, if they still figured that out then you are lucky but if they come asking for it then you should be paying.
734  Other / Archival / Re: [GUIDE] Who are Professional Traders? on: July 22, 2023, 09:03:39 AM
Conclusion: The differences are cardinal. The approach to trading of a professional trader and a retail trader is exactly the opposite. Many retail traders try to ascribe to themselves the title of a professional trader through experience, but this is not the case. Of course, there are times when retail traders also raise client funds like professional hedge fund traders. This is called trust management. Can a retail trader be called professional in this case? Of course not. The approach to trading and risk management does not change, and a trader's income depends only on successful trades. If a trader loses everything, not a single trust investor will pay him a commission for asset management. As often happens, the trader will ask for more money in order to recoup. And this will be just the typical behavior of a retail trader.
You are right @Ratimov Thank you so much your guidance and I appreciate you thoughts.I think be it a professional trader or a retail trader both have  face risk and stress.Trader involved risk,But a good trader is one who has risk under control.If anyone want to be a good trader and want to make own portfolio good .so he should stop trading on calls and tips .If he does this ,he feel stressed and risk in trading because when you are stressed so you overextended your emotional.so with so match if you are going to trading ,so you have to face risk and stress.
I agree that it is going to be a fundamental difference like that, it is not going to be something about the results or anything else. We need to realize that life is not that easy to handle and sometimes things that are a bit complicated could look like they are not easy to understand but Ratimov once again showed his prowess for making difficult things understood easily and made it simple.

Even the place you work at changes because even the software and the information and many other stuff that those professional ones are getting every day are not the same, you can't even begin to understand the networking possibilities and the benefits of it. So long story short it is not the same, no matter how much retail ones try, it is just not the same.

How are you guys pulling it through with this inflation?

Especially when I lived in a country with very high inflation I used to convert my savings into foreign currency (USD, EUR or GBP in general) in order to protect them. This is a good method that individuals living in countries with very high inflation often do and can maintain their purchasing power a little but today, strong currencies also lose their value in the face of inflation. For this reason, saving cash is no longer the logical and lucrative option it used to be.

I am currently living in a European country but unfortunately I cannot say that I have been able to save in any way due to my debts due to my health problems and my low salary. For this reason, at this stage I can say that I don't save in any way so that my savings do not lose value.
It is understandable not to have any savings due to health problems, health comes before everything else and as long as you are capable of paying for your medical bills, that alone is good enough and I wish you a speed recovery to your full health. Do not aim at saving some money when you are facing these troubles, that would only give you more stress, if you are incapable of saving money but capable of saving yourself, that is a much better thing and you should do that if possible.

Of course the situation is that we are talking about something that is a bit challenging, and that's why it's going to take a bit of time and we are not going to end up with a situation where it's going to be easy. So take that with grain of salt. You could have troubles, but ignore the responsibilities for now, only focus on health.
736  Economy / Economics / Re: Can CBDC users lose control of their money? on: July 20, 2023, 04:04:25 PM
CBDCs are fiat money in digital form, there will be basically no difference as they are still controlled and regulated by the government. But there is a difference, fiat transactions will still become more private than CBDC. When you use CBDC, all the data about your assets will be entirely controlled by the government, but that is impossible if you hold a large amount of cash.

Apart from bitcoin, we should never expect any other currency that can give us privacy, especially those issued by the government, because that is what they need to control us.
I am pretty sure that there will be some differences in the laws, not going to be a major one but one of them is a digital and the other is not so it means that we shouldn't really be that much shocked about it in the end our fiat is quite digital as well.

We do not really see the current fiat currency in paper form all that commonly anymore, we just see it as cards right now, most of the people I know just pay with cards, only very very few people do not end up paying with cards and that means we are going to end up with something much better. I know that we are going to end up with some issues one way or another, but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with a good or bad result one way or another.
737  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is not compared to Bitcoin with the best anyone on: July 20, 2023, 06:14:03 AM
I think altcoins will never be dead as long as cryptocurrencies exist. Because there are many altcoins in the crypto world that are invested and traded in the market. Although some altcoins turn out to be scams, not all altcoins are scams. But a coin like Ethereum and BNB is a long-term holding that people invest with faith. But in case of Bitcoin different Bitcoin is risk free investment which everyone invests and its future is good. Cryptocurrencies exist because bitcoin exists and this bitcoin will live forever and improve in the future.Many times one hears various fake social media scam announcements about Bitcoin but they are completely false. We are sure that Bitcoin has a bright future so we will definitely invest in Bitcoin for the foreseeable future. In 2024 Bitcoin price is likely to go to a good position so it will be better for you if you invest.
Investing into those big three would always make people feel a lot better without a doubt. Not a lot of people feel the same way about those, but I feel like they are as good as it gets when we are talking about long term investment. Of course that doesn't mean that they are going to never cause you any trouble, as we have seen from the bear run we have seen them not do that badly but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with them not having anything good neither.

Just have a situation where you end up with a good result, and that should be fine. I believe that we are going to do fine, and for that to happen I believe that we need to make sure that life has ups and downs, hold during down, and sell during up.

Struggling to come up with anything new to say about ETFs, but the first response to your OP covers the main meat. Institutions aren't sitting around waiting to get into Bitcoin, they already did. OTC has always been enough to sate institutional appetites, and even without ETFs, there are numerous ways to bet on Bitcoin without owning any (that satisfies what institutionals want anyway).

They wanted to bet on price, not own any. ETFs may have been the easiest route but the emergence of CME CBoE etc proved that the demand wasn't as the door-pounding ravenous hunger that we were told to expect.

Why should this be any different?
That's the point, if there are tens of billions of dollars in the bitcoin world by these giant companies, then we shouldn't be shocked that ETF is not the only thing that matters. I am not saying that ETF would not mean anything, but do not consider that as the only thing that matters neither.

I believe that we are going to be fine and we shouldn't really be worried about it. I know that it hurt a lot of people to see ETF did not get accepted right away, but that's how it works and we should be accepting the reality instead of just moan about it. If we keep dwelling on it, then we are going to miss out, look at those big companies that put billions into bitcoin, they are not moaning and complaining, they are taking an action, so should we.
739  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can gambling and crypto trading be considered as skills with $10k gain a month? on: July 18, 2023, 03:38:30 PM
I've been into gambling and trading but I was wondering why I don't get $10k a month. In fact, I did my best, I keep on studying the market trend and do analysis carefully. But this is what it come out to my mind, whether it was gambling or trading, nobody could guarantee assurance to earn such an amount, much more it was a big amount. Because even if you have $10k capital but the results remain uncertain. Of course, the chances is big because of huge capital but if we are talking about consistently hitting the target, I couldn't really agree with that.
of course to get big profits require bigger capital. This is not like gambling, where when you win the jackpot, you can double your capital several times in one bet.
trading is all about skill and consistency. don't think too much and focus too much on big profits which will suck up more of our capital. just do it with a little but consistent profit we get. it would be better to trade more profitable than ambition to make big profits.
Big profits "may" require big capital, but it could be a trouble on the both side. Like for example big capital means you have more to lose as well, so that means big capital doesn't always mean a good thing and you may end up losing more than you want, I have seen people lose tens of thousands of dollars in single hour, all because they had millions to begin with, hence it's not that easy, I mean think about having 3 million dollars before the bear run, and have like a million dollars now, it's possible and it happened to a lot of people.

Also you could start small, and get lucky with some alt that is newly released and make some money as well, there is no guarantee that you will lose. Hence, it's important to keep at it.

The biggest problem with Lewandowski has rather been to have a difficulty in scoring goals in big games in the Champions League. I watched him waste so many opportunities against big teams there which cost them high in the group stage later. I don't want to put the blame on only him of course don't get me wrong about that. The team effort was also inadequate in such games.

But in this season Xavi will be expected to do better in general as I said. Not only the team effort but also Lewandowski should make a big improvement in their performance in the Champions League. This level is still enough for the La Liga title but enough to be more successful in the Champions League.
Lewandowski is a great striker but even a great striker could have bad days and he is also getting older as well so even though he has a high technique, that doesn't stop his body from failing time to time. That's when players start to realize they should retire, he should not just yet, because he is still great at the league level, but his body doesn't do what his brain tells him to do anymore, but of course just tiny situations we see in huge games, otherwise he is not that bad.

We have seen Barcelona got eliminated by Inter and Bayern, which were great teams, Bayern is great as we all know and Inter lost only on Finals, so that shows that it wasn't really as bad as people think it was and we shouldn't be shocked about it.
