741  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bull season started? on: October 27, 2023, 12:41:26 PM
For me, it's still early to celebrate this time.
What I am looking forward to is we hold the $30,000 level until the end of this year, by that, I will be fully convinced that we are back, there could be new mini bull season plus the Bitcoin block halving is fast approaching and ETF deadlines next year.
truly early , we still have Half year to have halving comes and also we still have to wait long before it took effect and may bring us Bull running .
like yours , I wish that bitcoin will not drop below 30k so people will not rush selling again for being panicking.
and also there are similar things from many years that October seems to be making this kind of growth , so be careful for November and of course December that also bringing good run for bitcoin.
While seeing the price of Bitcoin surge to $30k, most of us think that is a sign that the bull season is coming.
Indeed, it was not surprising but yes, it is pretty early to say because our mind has already been closed as we are expecting and assuming that the bull season will start after halving. Well, that is somewhat to say that we can't be sure that everything that happened in the past still be the same as this year and in the coming years -I'd never taught like that. With these FUDs, news, and social media influence, we can expect changes rather than seeing the same.

IMO, (Polygon)

It's really wort to be hold, as you know more and more project/game are moving from other ecosystem like (ETH/BSC) to Polygon. As you know, the transition chain we all know
- BTC to ETH
- ETH to BSC
- Now ? BSC to Polygon

I think (Polygon) are gonna to get a good movement for the next few yers.
I don't have confidence yet with Polygon but it was on my list. But for now, my interest is still in the leading altcoins ETH and BNB. However, it was to know that the market often changes from time to time. Might have seen Polygon's potential in the coming days but can be possible that there is another project showing a skyrocket moment as well.

I won't say until forever I'm investing ETH, but of course, it can be changed depending on the situation. While the halving and bull season was coming, it was safe to choose those coins that had already been performing well - that was our assurance.
743  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on staying responsible. on: October 27, 2023, 10:56:36 AM
When gambling you have to set limits and stick to them. For instance, you can gamble with 1% of your monthly salary, gamble with what you can afford to lose so that anytime you lose in gambling you can move on, gamble only on weekends not to get addicted, and lastly, always take a break from gambling when you incurred so many losses to relax your head.

You can also look out for other things that will take your mind off gambling when you notice that gambling is not healthy for you at the moment such as playing a video game and watching a TV.

Yes, those who have suffered losses and play again in the hope of winning to restore losses, of course this will not work. No matter how I think it is very unlikely to be able to restore the losses he already felt. It is true that the more they lose the more they dare to increase the value of the bet in the hope of recovering losses. Without realizing the value of money lost due to gambling is already large and detrimental to himself.

Financial losses due to gambling will cause our lives to change into always restless when not gambling, and they will do anything to be able to return to gambling even though it is clear that in the end they will lose not win. What I wonder is why they are still playing when it is clear that they will most likely lose. So they won't be able to recover their losses. One way is just to leave it instead of putting hope in gambling.
The consequences of exceeding our limits are too harsh and really unacceptable. In fact, it was not just our finances will be affected but also, our relationship and health. That is why we should know what gonna happen to us when we get heavily into gambling as we can never assume that we can grow our money in this way but possibly, lose them all. And one way to keep away from happening, we should have to look at the consequences that may happen to us.
744  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling industry is using big tobaccos playbook on: October 27, 2023, 09:56:38 AM
The gambling industry is growing fast when people have nothing to do during lockdowns. Some people thought this was just their pastime while they were at home, unfortunately, the results seems not really great as more people got into addiction. More people who get involved in gambling don't just get addicted but also have health and mental issues.
I couldn't agree that we put all the blame on gambling for this but as an individual, it is our responsibility not to fall into this if we think it wisely.
It is our fault, that is the truth.
745  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Used Our Wedding Savings to Play Bet on: October 26, 2023, 09:30:26 PM
Gambling sometimes ruins someone's life and ambition - like what happened to the lady and their wedding plan, I'd see it was possible to discontinue and even ruin their reputation as well.

I'm going to wonder why there are some people who rely on luck and think about making money in gambling which in fact, we know that we only have fewer chances to win. If he is a smart person and thinking about his wedding, supposed he should not use that money.
746  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it better to invest or trade Bitcoin? on: October 26, 2023, 12:49:53 PM
Investing seems to be a good choice for those who are just about to start knowing about crypto. Trading is another level of making money as it needs a wide market understanding and a high level of TA. As we know, a lot of people tried to do this but unfortunately, only a few of them became successful and this is because trading is not for everyone, the same thing as investing.

Either of the two, we choose the field where we think that suits us and we think that we never regret it later.
747  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: stay away from this ( scam allert for arbitrage traders) on: October 26, 2023, 12:06:51 PM
If there is a guaranteed way to make an automatic profit, the developer of that method will not need to make it paid or available to everyone. You have got a gold mine and can borrow any amount and make thousands of dollars in profits.
Arbitrage is possible if there is a fast trading bot. You can obtain an API for central platforms after completing verification of your identity and knowing how to do it correctly, but even this arbitrage is not profitable, especially with bots that have begun to correct the price quickly and not as it was in the past.
That is the fact that we don't have to believe those people who would tell and convince us their trading strategies work so well and guarantee profit. And much more of using trading bots because nothing has made a perfect fit for the market volatility. We must have to know trading is not for everyone, some become successful while some traders also fail.

Telegram is the worst place to get investment advice.
I agree with this, yes a lot of people get scammed for trusting someone who is proclaimed as an expert and use this platform to covince people but the truth is that they know nothing in real life.
748  Economy / Speculation / Re: Has anybody expected this? on: October 26, 2023, 06:07:14 AM
Not that I'm a charting expert or a good technical or fundamental analyst let alone a bear, but I'm really surprised at the spike that's happened, and which is probably continuously happening as of this writing. So far, the price has already hit above $34,000. That's already more than 12% in growth in just 24 hours.

Has anybody somehow expected this kind of thing? Has anybody had at least a tiny clue that something like this would happen? I know Uptobers have been good months, but every huge increase especially a sudden one must have a big reason. I'm not seeing one that could push such growth so fast. I was really caught by surprise. Will a Bitcoin spot ETF be certainly approved soon that insiders have already relayed to their bosses the good news and the accumulation has secretly grown stronger?
Surprising really as we never think it comes early. The current pump teaches us to not just think about the negative and decline every day or assume that the next day will be the same as today. Well, for now, the only clue we have is the ETF and the upcoming halving but all of this supposedly has no huge impact on the market individually. We can bring us to the point also due to whales participation but whatever is the reason of the current pump --is pretty much appreciated for at least those newcomers have an idea where Bitcoin is going. And this should be put into our mind that the market is quite unpredictable.
749  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What advice for businesses exploring crypto payment gateways? on: October 25, 2023, 09:54:59 PM
Calling all businesses! We're curious to hear your thoughts and experiences on adopting crypto payment gateways in your operations. What advice would you give to fellow entrepreneurs considering this move? Share your insights and let's discuss the pros and cons of crypto payments for businesses. Your expertise can help others make informed decisions in this ever-evolving financial landscape. Join the conversation and be part of this valuable discussion!
I believe you need to talk personally those someone who really has the experience of accepting crypto in your place OP because it has a different experience and rules. Because base on my experience in our country, it was seldom that happened as they prefer to use our local currency over crypto. I'm not sure how educated are the people in your country, unlike us where still many are ignorant about crypto.
For now, I haven't yet seen any advantages from doing this as a payment gateway but maybe can be good in your country mate. I suggest you to ask your countrymen and those people around you if they already know about crypto already.
750  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: October 25, 2023, 09:35:07 PM
Gambling is not bad but of course, that must be placed in the right place and at the right time. In fact, we have break time or could be made after office hours. if we really care about ourselves, and our job, and are dedicated to working for the company, we should not try or have to do this.

Gambling at work is not really a good habit and the consequences are...
 - getting fired from the job
 - low performance
 - losses
751  Economy / Economics / Re: Young people needs productive mindset to be happy in life on: October 25, 2023, 01:31:54 PM
Already when we look at the way things are today in the society, we are living in a corrupt environment and the younger generation are yet corrupt until they were introduced to the corrupt environment and society, the big deal now is on how we can balance this up in making the society a good ground for the young minds coming to live without getting involved in all forms of inhumane activities others have.
The change needs to start from the younger generation. We know that everything is corrupt, and what is the remedy. We should develop a system that keeps everything function independently without getting into corruption. To achieve such a thing is really hard for any government. Just on being productive couldn't help the younger generation to be successful or make a change. There needs to be some support system. This isn't got by most of the younger generation and the same force them to land into some day job and continue their life without thinking of any social responsibilities. Even I'm the same kind and I'm sure we should develop broad mind.
Corruption has been rooting already and it was really hard to stop it because this new generation has already been influenced. I'd never say there is no way to stop this corruption and illegalities in the government system but honestly, no one can afford to do that and stop this because money is powerful. Everything can be changed when these leaders and those in the position will see money and there is temptation. That seems natural this time and if you are in business, you need to get close to these corrupt politicians in order to gain attention and become untouchable.

Of course, I support changes and stopping corruption but the question is if there is someone who could take big responsibility and able to control corrupt officials. 
752  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: October 25, 2023, 12:22:37 PM
As some others have said, most successful gamblers play using their skills to make a living. For them, it is likely that they will continue to be gamblers because they can only generate income from gambling by using their abilities.
However, such gamblers are very rare because they often play and play very carefully and are supported by their abilities, and maybe other people will judge it as an addiction. And in fact they also consider gambling as their job just like any other job, and they are successful because they can generate income from gambling and not just anyone.

Is a rare occasion that gambler can manage to win over the casino but likewise, with the combination of skills and good management of
both time and money, chances of winning are good.

It's just another way of taking your edge and executing that opportunity to become favorable to you.

I think by chance it can happen if control and good management can be executed perfectly, though just the same, it's a rare kind of
situation and not everyone can have this kind of mindset during the time they are playing against the house.
Perhaps it was rare and it is because the majority had lost control of their emotions all the time.

Successful gamblers though we think that they are addicted to gambling, however, their approach seems to be fair. They know what to do and also they know their limitation as well. They're been in gambling for many years and their experience will be enough to teach them what is the right thing to do despite being addicted to it. As long as it never compromises their finances, that is still okay.  
753  Economy / Speculation / Re: Dump market potential? on: October 24, 2023, 10:04:44 PM
There are some confusion that might make me a little doubtful about the development of Bitcoin prices and adoption in 2024, which we all know that we will face Halving Bitcoin as well as the ETF agreement which is the most powerful indicator in encouraging Bitcoin prices, so that many people are speculating and accused The nominal is quite fantastic in Bitcoin in the last 2 years of the current cycle.


Then, never listen to them as it only fuses you but rather make your own speculation instead. Because if you are very certain about Bitcoin's potentiality, you don't have a reason to become doubtful about it. But what makes you confused is you listen/read negative and positive speculations which you know that none of them are right. Just remember the fact that nobody was able to tell the real scenario to happen in the market, those are just speculation and you can make it as well. What you need is to keep your faith strong and become certain with your plan.
754  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Maybe I should have taken this risk earlier. on: October 24, 2023, 09:42:49 PM
Till now my parents are bearing the cost of my education, I have recently completed my college education and my parents wish me to complete my graduation by studying in a private university. We have a small cow farm and we have some cows in this farm out of which some months ago my father sold one cow and deposited about one and a half thousand dollars (I said the value in dollars for everyone's understanding) in the bank for my education. It will take about four to five months to get admission in the university. I didn't plan to do anything with the money I saved for my education but recently the price of bitcoin has increased by about 10 thousand dollars and seeing this increase I think that I should invest in bitcoin now instead of leaving the money in the bank for these four to five months. Although I think it's a bit late for me to invest. Maybe I should have invested when Bitcoin was 26 thousand dollars then maybe I could have made a good profit at this point but there is no point in regretting what I didn't do Of course I will think about the present now. I think the price of bitcoin can cross 40 thousand dollars so investing in bitcoin now will not be a wrong decision for me at all.
Apparently, a lot of people have the same story as yours, they blame themselves for neglecting to invest in Bitcoin earlier while seeing what happened to its price today. But we have nothing to correct those days, it was done already. What you're gonna do is to think about buying and make a decision whether to buy or not while the price of Bitcoin is still low price. If you think the positivity may happen to Bitcoin, then never waste your time either but rather have to take action now.
755  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Market warms up, what altcoins can help me rich? on: October 24, 2023, 01:49:55 PM
I read some Twitter users with big followers that cryptocurrency market is going to be bullish.

Bitcoin halving will come in 2024.

Bitcoin will have a big bull run in 2024.

What altcoins can help me rich in 2024 and 2025?

Any idea?
Just buy Bitcoin and Ethereum and you'll be rich and safe. Never think and search for an altcoin that will propers you more like become an instant rich, you might just fall into scam coins. Don't make the mistake of investing in new projects as they just looked promising but in the end, this will be the reason for your losses. Better consider those projects that already have a huge community and established reputation already. They might not make you rich but at least, you're also safe and certainly won't disappoint you during that time - just hold and wait.
756  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not keeping records makes me a bad gambler? on: October 24, 2023, 11:20:12 AM
Not keeping records doesn't necessarily mean that you are a bad gambler. Sometimes players are too busy to have one and just mentally note their winnings and losses as well as the money they have spend in gambling in totality. Although for sure there are still people who are keeping tracks of their gambling habits which is good for them especially if it works significantly better on their end. But it doesn't mean you should do too. It still depends on you after all.
I'd never done it actually and I don't think it helps us to be good gamblers or turn into bad gamblers as well. The more I saw my gambling records, the more possible I was disappointed. I'd rather not do it for the sake that I don't remember in the past days.
Quote
But a piece of advice, if you don't want or you can't seem to keep records because of extra work it will give to you, just make sure you allocate a specific amount that won't break your budget and your priorities in life. Only allocating your spare and not going overboard your budget will be as good as keeping records because that means you are only spending what you can afford to lose without regretting so much in the end if it doesn't go well.
Good advice mate...it is very important we know how to budget not just our money but also our time because the more we spend time on this, the more we spend money which could possibly be out of our budget.
Well, the question is are we just playing to entertain ourselves or just to make money? Because if we aim for the fist option, then I don't think it is necessary to have a records.
757  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Low cost but effective solutions to gambling addiction on: October 24, 2023, 08:52:49 AM
It is financially low cost, but might be socially high cost, but what really helps are relationships. Whether that is about love or about friendship, but gambling often happens in isolation to people who started neglecting their social ties or who never had some highly valuable social ties in the first place. I know that OP might have been looking for a different type of answer, but the truth is that healthy relationships and also activities can have a curing effect on many things and addictions are part of that. Sometimes people feel lost, bored and lonely and that is why they consider diving into time wasting activities like excessive gambling where gambling is not a pleasure anymore and doesn't really give you anything in return. Good relationships usually do exactly that.
Maybe for pleasure and a broken relationship but whatever the reason, we should also know how to limit ourselves to addiction. It was not hard to do that honestly if it is already in our mind but if we let that happen, nobody could be blamed but just ourselves.

Changing our lifestyle seems to be a big help to avoid addiction and most of all, with someone who is willing to help as well.
Engaging in physical activities like sports is way better and a healthy solution.
758  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trade only Bitcoin on: October 23, 2023, 09:43:42 PM
Trading is a lifetime skill that is always beneficial if you know what you are doing, the biggest mistake of traders is trading alt that most times doesn't obey market structure,
when it comes to cryptocurrency, trade only Bitcoin.
Bitcoin doesn't just give you profit, it gives you security, it obeys market structure, for the past 2yrs I have been trading, I only have losess only when I trading Alt, price action trading I utilize will trading always gives me result when trading Bitcoin, but when it comes to Alt I really do feel as if am gambling, so my fellow traders, trade only Bitcoin, I don't know if anyone feel the same way?
The reason why it is important to learn more about the asset you are going to trade is so that your money doesn't float away.  Bitcoin is a very volatile asset, but the reputation and liquidity that Bitcoin has are very high compared to altcoins in general, but there are also several altcoins that are quite common. traded by people such as ethereum, bch and bnb, while the assets you should avoid for trading are meme tokens and tokens that are just based on hype (such as DeFi and AI tokens), don't misplace your money in an asset when you trade, your money will be difficult to get back.


The choice of Bitcoin in trading is not really profitable based on my experience compared to altcoins but when it comes to investment, we are certain about it. But, we must also understand that trading is not all about choosing coins, it is also all about the use of strategies and perfect timing. Because even if you choose Bitcoin, you will still have no assurance of a profit especially if you don't have deep knowledge about trading. Many people jump into trading with empty knowledge or just say, knowing only the basics - still, they suffer big losses.
759  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ? on: October 23, 2023, 09:23:44 PM
People often say that people addicted to gambling and alcohol never know how to love and care for anyone in their hearts. No matter how many explanations they have, they only justify their wrong actions. Gambling addiction is in the blood. Do you believe that? Once the blood of gambling appears in any man or woman, it will take root, germinate, and overwhelm reason, conscience, and humanity. Especially for female gamblers, only brainwashing or blood transfusion can change. I say it's so severe that their ability to quit gambling is a challenge, even if their spouse advises them. If a person is truly addicted, it will be tough to stop.
I don't think gambling addiction is in the blood and can be inherent to your kids. Though they are in a state of addiction, still we remember that they are still human beings and have feelings which means that they can still feel love.

In fact, I have a friend of mine where also addicted to gambling but when he became married, all of his addiction was gone just because he loved his wife and family. So I believe that someone can be changed depending on their approach and of course, on how they see their future when having a family already.
760  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: why meme coins are trending? on: October 23, 2023, 01:55:32 PM
In my opinion, what makes meme coin a trend is because many people have managed to become rich and get big profits from investing in meme coin, so that's what makes many people interested to investing in meme coin, but of course the risk of investing in meme coin is very big, because we can lose our money from investing in meme coin, but investing in meme coin is the same as you are gambling, you can become rich or poor from investing in meme coin quickly, so my advice if you are not ready with the risk of investing in meme coin (losing your money), then I suggest you not to investing in meme coin.
Because of its hype - while people see many people got into this and make a lot of money, they rush and buy them.
Indeed, a lot of early investors gain huge profits which makes others encouraged as well. Unfortunately, meme coins haven't stayed long, they'll be in hype these days but after a few weeks or months, they started to decline.

Yes, it is just like we put our money into gambling where we rely on luck, not the potentiality of the project. Many have been doing great with meme coins but many are also having terrible experiences.
