Everyone has talked about how dangerous leverage trading is, but then who are these people who ended up with trading on leverage so much? We are talking about billions of dollars traded on leverage in crypto world every single day. If we are all saying that it is dangerous (and I do not do leverage trading as well) then who are these people who do it?

I believe that it is dangerous for people like me, and that is why I stay away from it. But, there must be some people who know what they are doing and they must be doing it to make some money. This is why it is not dangerous for "everyone", it is just like that for newbies or people who are not interested in it.

Bitcoin has been the number one cryptocurrency in the market for years now since we all got to know what cryptocurrency is all about. It is the first cryptocurrency that was created, and it has continued to maintain that top position from the start till now.

And the way we are all seeing it, Bitcoin is not going down, not anytime soon. So, it is the best crypto currency anyone can invest in right now. It has the highest market cap, and also the highest trading volume.

Although one thing with altcoins is that an investor is more likely to get bigger profit by investing in altcoins. Bitcoin has really passed that stage where you would be expecting much of a profit in a short term, because things have quite changed, but it’s quite possible that you can get double of your investment in some years. This is because Bitcoin is now huge, and it doesn’t fluctuate as much as it does before. But, it remains a stable choice to make.

Some simple and very basic tips I can give to newbie traders are:

1- Don't fall for the hype and don't panic for NO reason
2- Don't invest in memes and if you do, make sure to cash them asap
3-Avoid following the so-called Influencers, everyone is paid!

Another very important thing is, around the halving time, the price will normally go upwards. So what you can do is, buy some good amount of BTC right before halving and then sell it after the price has pumped.

I cannot talk on behalf of him, nor can I say we are at half right now. However, I can say that we have seen 30k's first, then 64k, then again under 30k during summer periods, then 68k after that and saw close to 30k again after that as well.

So, we have done 50% and then 2x and then 50% and 2x and then 50% plenty of times and it should not be really something so shocking. We are a decentralized and unregulated market and it will always have some crazy volatility, there is nothing wrong with that. The 50% drop comes with the nature of bitcoin, but it also means that we are talking about 2x being nothing too extraordinary for us neither since we are used to seeing that.

Utility doesn't always mean that it will equal to a lot of money, it just means that it has one utility but maybe people would not prefer it? I mean AVA is a token that is in the traveling world, but what makes you think that people will stop using things like booking.com or expedia? Expedia even has crypto payments as far as I can remember.

It is a proof enough that crypto is already in the traveling world. Which is why we should not be really hoping too much from AVA, maybe it will go up, but there is no guarantee. When people say that utility means a better return, they mean a utility that everyone wants, not one that is unknown if it will be liked or not.

Manipulation is not a bad thing if you are on the correct side of it. If you are on the other side then you will be upset about it, but when you are on the side that is manipulating, even if you are not involved with it, you could still profit.

Let's assume that I sell my coins right now, because I just wanted to, felt like it, then some wealthy people manipulated the price to go down, that doesn't mean I worked with them, or know them, or knew they would do that, but I profited from it. Then I buy after it bottomed and they manipulated it to go up a lot, I still profited and yet I have zero contact with them. Try to aim for that, it will be profitable for everyone involved.

You cannot really "predict" the price of crypto in the market. But, what you can do is "guess" what the price would be about. We all know that it is not going to be that simple, and we all know that it is going to take some time to just finish those courses and even after you finish them, we do not know if you really learned them or just went through them to finish them, like skip some stuff and all.

This means that you need to test yourself a small bit to see if you are good enough to start or not, if not then you need to go back and redo some of the classes to get better again and keep trying and keep learning until you reach a level where you are good enough.

I would say that anyone who gets a non-refundable like that, could also get a regular card, why not? But, if KYC is the problem, they could keep on buying more of those to remove the problem. The thing is, if you want to buy something that is more expensive than 250 bucks, what do you do? I mean the limit is there, so you can't use it to buy anything that is a bit more expensive.

The type of money those places are making is not as high as you might imagine. The costs of running a business like this, and the costs of each transaction come with a price for them as well, so when you are charging something, you are not charging just for profits, you are also paying for something as a business as well. Hence those rates are not high just so they can profit, they have costs too.

It is not really that much of a big bad deal. I mean if you have enough money to spare, throwing 100 bucks (or whatever you can afford) on all the shitcoins or memecoins or whatever is not really a bad idea. This depends on the amount of money you have of course, if you do not have much, spending it on useless tokens doesn't really mean anything.

There are thousands of shitcoins that barely got an audit, and copied their entire code from another project and just changed names, and even they deserve to be thrown something if you are rich enough. Basically, this all depends on how rich you are, that's it, nothing more and everything else can be handled.

The way he has said it made it seem like it is a war that has to do with cryptocurrency, when it is in fact nothing like that at all. Cryptocurrency doesn’t have anything to do with war, but the cryptocurrency community can decide to support all these countries that are in war, such as they are doing now by supporting Ukrainians. Moreover all these countries are doing this as a way for them to be able to create more awareness for themselves and also for cryptocurrency, and be able to convince people that cryptocurrency is nothing bad, but can be used for good.

And finally, As for countries that are urging cryptocurrency exchanges to block Russia from making use of Bitcoin to make transactions, they are also forgetting that cryptocurrency is decentralized, and one can decide to make use of any decentralized exchange to carry out whatever transaction they want.  With that said, I don’t think making use of Bitcoin at this time would be much of any reasonable help at all to Russia.

Germany decided to go to 100% renewable energy by 2035, which should be self sufficient for the whole nation. I do not know how much that costs, and since Germany is a smaller nation than the USA, maybe it is easier, I have zero clue about the costs and the benefits of it. However, if the topic is to be independent when it comes to energy needs, and also cleaner world? Then what Germany aims to do should be what every nation aims to do right?

I am not well educated on the subject, this is just my "guess" and that’s all, I just assumed, no idea if that’s true. What will Russia do then? Ruble lost 50%+ already and it will continue to lose more, they need to find some trading partners to replace that lost money asap, otherwise they are screwed for sure.

You can be making use of different tools or platforms to check for new cryptocurrencies that are being released in the market. You can make use of coinmarketcap.com to be getting information on new coins that are being released in the market as well.

And you can also make use of exchanges such as binance.com or coinbase.com, because these exchanges will always announce new cryptocurrencies that they have listed on their exchange. Then you can be making use of social media like Twitter and be following up with the cryptocurrency community to know which projects are being released newly. There are so many ways that you can be getting this kind of information, but I will advise you to be very careful with new projects and make sure that what you are choosing is the right option.

Or maybe they will do like money laundering type of deal. Like pay a HUGE amount for the gold, and get half of it back, making it a bit better for Russians to take their money out. Maybe not that much, because it would be too much of a difference but it could still be done.

Basically, money laundering with gold instead of some car wash or something. This will allow rich Russians to get out, they can even "sell" gold that they do not have, and make it look like they did. Or maybe they will do your version as well, China could be trying to take advantage of the situation Russia is in, but they are their biggest ally, so if they do that, then it would be a bit harder to come back to a good friendship after the war is over and sanctions are lifted.

Lol dude, nobody is even asking you for an advice here, so what makes you think that anyone here is going to be paying $50 to $100 to give them any advice? I would rather keep investing my money in bitcoin than investing it in the USD. Bitcoin is going to be more profitable for me than USD. Fiat is an inflationary currency, and over the years it’s going to lose value, while Bitcoin would keep growing.

And it seems you don’t know that it is not the whole of Europe that is at war, because I don’t why you’re saying that Europe is at war. The only countries that have been on conflict are Russia and Ukraine, although Europe has been backing Ukraine by sanctioning Russia, but EU hasn’t been the only one sanctioning Russia, Even the US and some other countries has done the same.

That is the alright part. I mean if you do not believe that they will not be the kings 10 years later, then you could always invest right now and get out later on. I have been investing into floki recently and I believe that it will not be a great coin.

However I am also smart enough to know that we are talking about something that is not really that long term and I will get out of it in a year or so. That is alright, but there are some people who buy lands on sandbox and believe that 10 years later it will worth x100 more. Unfortunately, I do not believe that will be the case, I believe that we are going to have a few good places, and none from todays world.

Reaching to a sustainable level where I keep having money on my account is ideal at this stage. Right now I have a small amount of money in crypto, and very little cash, and I keep either investing or withdrawing that money. I want to be able to say I have 10k+ dollars in investment and at least another 10k+ dollars in cash as well.

If I can reach that, maybe this year, maybe next, but if I can reach that then I will feel a bit more comfortable. Right now, I am nowhere near those levels unfortunately, but I am working towards it, step by step and eventually I know that one day I will be able to reach that level. It may take months, it may take years, but I will get there.

As you said that it was expected to touch $100k at the end of 2021, did it reach up to that price? Your answer is a No. So, what about this year, is it going to get to that price? Well, we are not sure about that yet.  If you’re here to be waiting for $100,000, to that’s your business, but nobody is saying that the price is reaching $100,000 this year except for some people who just likes to over speculate.

The way I am seeing it, the market is not going to reach that much for now. Try to take your profit when the price in the market is good. The price of Bitcoin got to $65,000, what was stopping you from taking your profit then? You can take profit at that level and still buy back when the market is low like it is now.

Knowing how to protect your funds while trading is part of what you will have to learn as a trader, it is called the risk management side of things, but that isn’t the only thing you have to learn to become a trader. There are lot of things that one would have to learn before they can even start to give it a try. It’s not like you have said that other knowledge will come with experience.

Indeed, there are some of the knowledge that you would gain from having the experience, but before that you have to learn about it first. It’s just like learning the theory of a subject before you go into the practical side of things to experiment with what you have taught and prove that the theory is indeed accurate.

Privacy is a tricky situation. Obviously that dude understood the reason why people post it very wrongfully, kakmakr normally posts a lot better stuff, probably mistook it somehow. And people who STILL post their address are definitely a bit behind the days to say the least... However sharing your address does compromise your situation a little bit. Not a lot, but at least it connects you with your wallet address and then you are reminded of it anywhere you go. I used to use another address, and I remember someone asking me to sign that address to prove I was still the same person and did not sell my account or something. Thank God that I had access to it, and managed to sign it, but that shouldn't even be a thing in crypto.

So, to answer your question, yes participating with an address "doxxes" you in a way, not like my real name and home address level, but still it sticks me to this corner and doesn't allow me to move somewhere else.
