I use when I get profits from the crypto betting houses, and then the changes to dollars for the debts of the commercial houses  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
Are you seriously earning constant profits from cryptocurrency gambling to be able to pay mortgages for the houses you've bought? Is that what you mean by that? If so, you must be pretty lucky because not everyone can get enough money as profit from gambling to be able to pay mortgages for their properties or to spend on things they want to buy with cryptocurrencies, only the luckiest people can be able to do that.

That being said, since you said that you get profit from betting houses and then convert it to dollars and pay for the commercial houses, I don't really think that counts as buying things with crypto, it would count if you were paying those mortgages with a cryptocurrency just like how people do in Portugal.

Head is playing Bazzball cricket at the moment and is treating this match like an ODI while Smith is playing a proper test innings. These two players keep saving their team again and again in tests.

Tongue bowled pretty well since he took 2 wickets, but he is giving away too many runs. On the other end, Anderson's economy is great, but he isn't taking any wickets.
Today we have good show of top class batting from all top Australian batsmen with just khawaja is out on 17 and all others having decent runs on board right now inning run-rate is 4.15 and this partnership run-rate is above 5.6 which is amazing and better than English Bazball Steven Smith playing like Champions test batsman and heading for another hundred and Travis Head is also giving him good support as having 66 runs on just 60 balls now we have 71 overs and most chances we will have no complete 90 overs due to rain but still good handy batting give good chance to Australians in this second test match, and they can cross 400 to 450 tomorrow which will give them pole position for this test match and surely another headache to England which are completely struggling at home against arch-rivals in this series.

alt coins will gain more popularity and even more buyers next century
i can see it's the right time to pay attention to projects like NeonLink with understanding that long term well build projects will take over the market
alt coins has so much potential, yes bitcoin is has a power BUT!
i do believe next century we'll see some huge gains
We are talking about a century, not a decade. 100 years is a very long time and a lot of things will change by then for sure, there might be something better than Bitcoin and blockchain technology itself, or there might be extreme changes that all current coins and tokens lose all their value and new coins and tokens with more options and functionalities might replace them, as I said, it's a very long time and anything can happen.

The project that you are trying to promote or any other project recently released won't even be seen after a decade, a century is a very big thing for that. So there might be some takeovers after a century but it will obviously be from projects created in that era.
804  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you trade altcoins during the bull run or just hodl? on: June 27, 2023, 05:28:03 PM
Everyone does a lot, it varies depending on how busy each person is, there are those who hold back until the bull market comes like me who did that. Moreover, I trade part time depending on the market situation. Also, if the market drops again, I buy more to add to my long term investment
It depends on one's personal goals as well, someone who wants to buy and keep for the long term will not buy during the bull run because they won't be able to get a lot of profit in that way since the market mostly drops after the bull run is over, but those who mostly trade for the short term and gain small percentages of profit with every trade would probably even buy in the bull market because they won't need to hold them for long.

I personally think that both methods are profitable but those who trade for the short term can earn more profits in a quicker time frame compared to those who hold their assets longer, but sometimes, when you are holding coins that grow significantly like Bitcoin, you might gain great profits as well.
805  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: June 26, 2023, 06:36:39 PM

Harry Kane is only rumoured with Real Madrid now according to Transfermarkt. In fact I saw rumours related to PSG in many places recently as well but it is interesting to not see it here as well. This makes me think like maybe Real Madrid and PSG are waiting for each other to make a counter offer to get more advantageous.

First I thought Real Madrid lost their interest in him after finding out his probable cost to them. But this is a new rumour entered by the website. PSG are also thinking of making a striker signing in the recent times. The coming days can be quite interesting. I'm just wondering if Real Madrid are okay with having Kane and Mbappe at the same time as they are planning to sign Mbappe at the earliest opportunity. It looks like PSG want to have these two world stars there.
Even this is related to Transfermarket, but I have completely different opinion about this with most chances Harry Kane will be not gone in any other club then England because he feels comfortable there and want to achieve his targets which are possible just in Premier League few days back there was chance but as Tottenham Chairman strongly announces they will not decline in their offer about him then now things are completely change because no big club will give offer like this with PSG is never been ideal place for him even PSG lost Mbappé, and they will try their best for him.

Now situation is completely indicating if PSG lost Mbappé then surely they will go through for their other targets like Victor Osimhen or Vlahović with few more can enter this race, but Harry Kane is not coming here in near future.
806  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC price hitting 30k twice this year. on: June 26, 2023, 10:38:10 AM
The price of bitcoin at 30k shows that this year bitcoin price will hit 40k by the end of this year. The price started to pump from the beginning of this year and go to 30k at April before the price correction to 25k-26K range. I believe that the halving is coming close and bitcoin price will pump up gradually so that after the halving,we can see a significant price of bitcoin. Perhaps,the price might fall down to 28k before it will rise above 30k by next month.
Bitcoin have shown a lot of bull momentum since the beginning of this year 2023 after the price recovered from the market crisis that accompanied 2022 and that is some form of sharp attack on the market bit all through the start of 2023 bitcoin has been on the consistent price recovery and up till thos very moment the bitcoin price momentum has continued and at the moment is 30k+ and if I can speculate the next destination for Bitcoin I will say it going to clinch to the 35k region and then after making a new price chart.

What I can't speculate on this year 2023 is whether or not we likely see a bull market,  my prediction on that is too low because since the next bitcoin halving is about a year from now it means the next bull will possibly be around a few months after the bitcoin haven.
We all know about the initial price increase when the year 2023 started but we have also witnessed how the price was after it reached $31k in March, till that moment until about a week ago, it has been struggling to stay up and not fall down much, and as soon as the news about SEC suing Binance and Coinbase came out, the market dipped even further causing more panic and FUD in the crypto traders from all around the globe.

Now, after so much time, the price has shown some positive movement but then again it has become stable at around $30k which was the previous resistance, now I don't really see any momentum or signal for the price to go up to $35k from here because it isn't being able to move up at the moment.
807  Economy / Economics / Re: Success in finance and investment is a journey of finding your true self on: June 26, 2023, 08:52:23 AM
All of my friends who have invested in bitcoin can attest to the fact that it is an exploration of one's self. Many of these gentlemen from many disciplines have come to understand who they are by their commitment to their relationship with money, their level of risk tolerance, and their capacity to maintain discipline in the face of uncertainty. In the face of the market and their personal life, they have evolved into a sort of stoic mentality. And those who backed off during the bull run did so for the same reasons—self-discovery. They assessed their possibilities of success in this high-risk environment and decided it wasn't for them, so they stayed with real estate investments, which are generally low risk.
Bitcoin and cryptocurrency investments aren't for everyone and not everyone can maintain their assets and investments, so it is better for anyone to first evaluate the situation, study the industry, and then check their own capabilities to see if they think they can manage everything successfully if they think they can, they should go ahead with it, but if they think they can't do it and it is not for them, they should simply choose something else.

Your friends probably thought Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies are not for them and they chose another stream to invest their money which might be seen as a bad decision by many because people believe in Bitcoin but it's obviously the best decision for them since it might save them from big losses that they could incur for themselves.
808  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: June 26, 2023, 07:20:59 AM
Manchester City's squad is not just the best in the English Premier League but currently the best in Europe and I also do not think there's a club anywhere in the world that as good as Manchester City in terms of quality and in delivering world class performances.
However, it'll be big slap on the face of Manchester United if anyone would think that if they three prolific strikers like Harry Kane, the English Premier League will still be dominated by Manchester City. United has few positions to make important changes in and they'll definitely be a major challenger to Manchester City
There is no doubt about Manchester City strength as they were one of the best in business, but now things are changing as they lost their captain Gundagon, and maybe we will have few more changes which can bring some changes in their performance and quality as well because mostly we have things like these which are having big impact on teams but if Pepe able to have suitable replacements then surely we can expect same level of performance from them because now in coming season we will have good changes in other teams as well as Manchester Untied, Arsenal, Newcastle United and Liverpool are trying their best for the improvement and this is going to be tough season for top clubs which are having same level and quality with players performance will be decided who is going to wear crown again in next season.
809  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Security and Privacy in the Crypto Market on: June 25, 2023, 03:08:45 PM
The crypto market has experienced rapid growth in recent years. However, behind this tremendous potential lie serious challenges related to security and privacy.

What many people are asking is what are the main challenges faced in protecting the security and privacy of users in the crypto market? How can the crypto industry overcome these challenges?

The privacy is only leaked when data breach happens in exchanges. These exchanges ask for our identity verification and ask for our details, they further stores it and when these data breaches happens, our identity gets leaked and privacy is hampered. Regarding the security, if we store the coins in online exchanges or wallets, then definitely our coins will get hacked, so yes store the coins in offline wallet only. Moreover regarding the privacy, try to avoid exchanges and do P2P deals as much as you can.
We don't know what if the exchange secretly sells our data like what other websites are doing. Someone exposes their modus before. Maybe it was one of their team who lately build a hate to their company. This is the reason why many people are not doing a KYC when it's being asked but they leave the platform immediately and look for other alternative who does not mandate a KYC.

In regards to security, maybe a well-known exchange has a robust security and in case a hack happens some of them have insurance and we can be refunded. Despite of this, I still prefer to hold my coins on my own because I believe on the saying that "not your keys not your coins"

I created my token and launched it on launchpad, but I don't have money for advertising am I doomed to failure?
Yes, You surely needs money to run and promote your business otherwise you won't get the required exposure and visibilities.
You must need funding to be able to carry out some of the process involving, not only marketing including the Development aspect of your project. Some reasons why most project fails is lack of Structuring, Development and incomplete Team Members, no Usecase and Prospect, Therefore any project that is lacking all these qualities are likely to fail because investor's may not want to endangered their funds investing a project that has no future.
For now, he can still do something like using the power of social media and forums like Bitcointalk but I see that he is already doing it now and he even got his first 20 dollar. That's nice and it can mean that he is progressing but I don't understand why he is being negative there and wants to give up? Usually, this is the reason on why many people didn't get successful. It's because they lack of consistency when they notice that they are getting stuck.

It was actually normal and maybe they need to tweak their current strategy. After all, I still like the enthusiasm of the OP but he only lacks in preparation. He rushes on creating the project even if he lacks on some resources.
811  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Cardano still a good investment? on: June 24, 2023, 05:44:39 PM
I bought my first 600 Cardano last week at £0.19 as felt it was great price and too good to miss.

I am debating if I should buy another 600 soon or wait to see if we fall lower  Huh

If all goes well for Cardano it should be a pretty easy 15x from current price next bull run.
Good for you mate. That 600 Cardano was a good start but if you truly believe on the project then you need to add more in your bags. For now, you can try to wait and see if it falls down, since the bull run seems to be delayed again. BTC has fell from $27k and it was expected that other coins can follow. That is because the SEC are still hot with the cryptos and companies that surrounds it.

There is no way to predict if you much profit we will get so don't say that you can get an easy 15x as that sounds easy for you to say it. Maybe you need to lower that expectation of yours first for a coin which are being dormant for a very long time. Anyways good luck in your Cardano investment journey.
812  Economy / Economics / Re: Rent or buy real estate - let's have a debate on: June 24, 2023, 03:59:59 PM
I totally get your point about preferring to buy rather than rent. It's a smart long-term investment strategy if you have the means. But you're right. It's not as easy as it sounds. There are challenges and considerations involved, especially when it comes to financing and managing the property.
Every choice will always have a good side and a bad side, a good side and a bad side. It's just that when talking about which option has more advantages than disadvantages, I personally am more inclined to buy and fully own the property. although maintenance is needed, the increase in property prices from year to year will cover the maintenance costs. different from renting which will make the money we pay only evaporate and we cannot expect any development for the money we pay.
Well, renting is never a choice but it's a compulsion, one who rents a place to give doesn't do it because they want to but they do it because they have to, the main reason behind that is of course lack of finances to be able to buy a property. You can never find a person who has enough money to buy a home but still lives on rent, if you find anyone doing that, that person is either out of their mind or have some complications in their life.

So the answer to the question of whether one would like to have their own property or rent a house will always be that they would like to have their own home instead of paying a certain amount of money in rent every month and living in different places in different phases of their lives.
813  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Buy ETH as much as you can.... on: June 24, 2023, 04:03:05 AM
ETH is the best altcoin, it is always recommended to buy and hold this coin as many as possible. But the price increase of ETH, mostly depends on the Bitcoin price trend. If you see it increased above $1,900 recently, it is because of the increase in Bitcoin price. After Bitcoin returned to $30k, ETH and other altcoins are following the increase, too. Now, I guess Bitcoin price will drop again below $30k, the uptrend is over. You must be aware that ETH price is following it, too. We can see the price of ETH is already below $1,900 again.
Not only ETH but almost every single cryptocurrency follow the movement of Bitcoin and move up and down based on that, it barely happens when an altcoin doesn't follow the price of Bitcoin and either grows or drops independently, otherwise, all of them move in the same direction. If we talk about ETH alone, it never moves independently, at least I've never seen it doing that so far.

Those who are investors of ETH should have bought when it was pretty low when Bitcoin was around $25k earlier, they could book profits now when the price of ETH went above $1,900 which isn't bad and one could easily get about 10% profit on their trades if they bought when Bitcoin was at $25k.
814  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Gambling is different from trading on: June 23, 2023, 05:42:42 PM
Gambling and trading share both similarities and differences. Both activities involve risk, and there is always a chance of losing money. However, gambling is primarily based on chance and tends to yield short-term gains or benefits. On the other hand, trading requires analyzing market trends, strategies, and making informed decisions, often within a longer time frame.

In gambling, luck plays a central role, whereas trading is considered a skill. Traders rely on their abilities to analyze the market, manage risks, and execute trades effectively. Therefore, I tend to lean in favor of trading due to its emphasis on skill and analysis.
Gambling is way different than traders, I don't think they have any similarities other than some tokens which people choose to invest in which tends to make them lose money which is what mostly happens in gambling. If you are trading and using only the spot market, you don't lose money if you are investing only in trusted cryptocurrencies and not selling when you are at a loss.

In gambling, there is absolutely no chance for you to win any money if you are not lucky, and even if you manage to win sometimes, you will eventually lose everything back to the casino because that is how their business model works, gambling games have a house edge which makes the house always win.
815  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Price, Where Next on: June 22, 2023, 05:22:59 PM
It might be boring to say that sideways are the most likely during June and July, but I hope August shows something positive. Yes I expect a recovery around August to the end of the year, so the price will probably be above $30k in August.

Price swings are still very likely over the course of 2023, but I'm less likely to expect a big dump to hit the market. The SEC and a few other issues have had a negative impact on the market, but if the market is supported by institutional investors and a lot of large companies, then perhaps much more bullishness can be expected. I expect a lot of positives in the second half of 2023 especially when we are so close to the halving.
Don't worry mate, many of us are used to the boring feeling. We know that it was part of the hodling game and we are mostly long-term investor here. There will be down times in the market but there will also be a time for a recovery. It was only not possible to know their exact dates. We are now in June but 2 months of waiting for a great recovery must be enough time already so why not?

Price swings are always there in each year. ATM, the presence of the bear is still there but maybe I can agree with you that it won't lead to a bigger dump just like the last time. Despite of the negative news, die-hard crypto fans are still there. This is the reason why the price is still holding strong.
816  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: June 22, 2023, 03:26:15 PM
Slots machines are the craziest of them all, there is nothing left to rely on but your luck, I kinda enjoy games like this, because I don't use money I can't afford to lose, and if you are lucky you will be surprised how rewarding your luck could get.

You can make rolls with less than 20$ on many slots games online and I don't understand how many people use a lot of money playing slots, and they ruined their day, I kinda look at slots like it's way easier to control, because you can set your number of rolls per day and the amount you plan to use per day.

Since all casino games are wired to be manipulative and unpredictable, there is no point looking for a strategy, just play in a way that you won't get hurt in the end because there is a big chance you won't make money. 
depends on the game, there are some strategy games like poker
one can also use strategy for bankroll management and emotional awareness when gambling
but you're right, sometimes it's better to simply chill and enjoy it.
Using a set method for betting is probably good but using a certain strategy for gambling is not a good idea because we know that strategies don't work in gambling and you lose even more when you are trying a strategy in gambling especially something like martingale when you are doubling the base bet for every loss, that is a proven way of losing all your bankroll.

Poker is also a game that is played by experienced players, your chances of winning in poker will be minimal if you don't have any experience in the game, so I wouldn't recommend spending a lot of money on Poker unless someone has experience.
817  Economy / Speculation / Re: Time to Hodl or buy the Dip? on: June 21, 2023, 01:48:03 PM
You are lucky about time, but maybe not so about how much you have made. Perhaps some of the people who came into bitcoin after 2017 are far better able to understand bitcoin and its market than those who have been here since 2015, so there is no set standard by which to judge who is more successful. Everyone can be like that, including newbies.
The basic rule of investing is to invest only what you can afford to lose. It's all up to you if you will all in or not. If you do, it's better to do it in Bitcoin because our chance to be successful in it is high than compared to other coins out there. Having a reserve budget doesn't make you immune to failures but it only help you to come back and try your luck again.

Those who discover Bitcoin early are not always lucky because there are only limited resources before. They don't know what's coming up ahead so there is a big chance that they quit but maybe some come back after sometime after knowing the true potential of these cryptocurrencies.
818  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: June 21, 2023, 10:44:39 AM
The 4-0 defeat in the second leg of the UCL semi-final last season was a very embarrassing blow for Real Madrid, they have always been the favorites in this competition but Manchester City threw mud at Real Madrid face. It's hard to forget how a team like Real Madrid was defeated with a crushing score in the semifinals. Real Madrid will try to do anything next season to add to their collection of UCL trophies that they failed to achieve last season.

The big name that Real Madrid has is very easy to bring in quality players, Bellingham has been successfully brought in with great value. Real Madrid are still not satisfied with Bellingham arrival, they are looking for a striker who can be relied on to make their front line even sharper and more dangerous. I hope Mbappe will join Real Madrid next season, at Real Madrid it is easier for him to win the UCL trophy than the team he is currently defending.

After all, even though Real Madrid is the king of Europe because they have won 14 Champions League titles, but that doesn't mean they have to continue to win consecutive Champions League titles. Because after all, Real Madrid won the Champions League 14 times and I can say it was obtained in stages. That means, it would be natural if in a few seasons Real Madrid failed to win the Champions League title. Because after all, even though Real Madrid failed to win the Champions League title in several seasons it also would not make Real Madrid look weak.
I agree as we know Real Madrid is surely brand in Champions League and their history is also amazing in this competition which make them King of the Europe but still they can face results like they have in last season because it's also part of the game with no team can stay at same level ups and downs are also part of the game now they are facing some issues with the departure of their few star players with Karim Benzema is gone to Saudi League, and they also lost Casimiro to Manchester United and now few more players are also on departure which is not ideal and can bring some troubles for them but with this all still they have good potential to bring the best players in business because playing for the Real Madrid is dream for millions and surely things could be on his best in just one or two seasons which is part of their strategy as well.
819  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Potential newbies on: June 20, 2023, 04:01:29 PM
So newbies on this forum have made nice contributions to this  forum . however my question is apart from post quality how else can u notice a potential newbie on this forum.
Does post to merit ratio count?
By potential newbie, do you mean a newbie having the potential to be a good contributor? I don't think there is any need to evaluate a user other than their post quality, and if they have a very good post quality, they will automatically start getting Merits as soon as they start getting noticed by the community, so you can also see if someone has got more Merits than their posts or just have been gaining Merits lately for many of their posts, you can understand that they have the potential to produce quality posts.

But I don't understand why you are asking this, it shouldn't be your focus if you are on the forum to learn about Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies and take part in discussions related to various topics around cryptocurrency world and physical world as well, your potential will come out if you focus only on gaining more knowledge.

Also, I believe this topic should be Beginners & Help section and not here.
820  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can Solana hit $40 this year? on: June 20, 2023, 03:18:19 PM
$40 for Solana in 2023 most likely won't touch yet, as FTX 2.0 will reportedly launch in 2024, so I can assume that FTT and Solana Ecosystem will be bullish from 2024,
yes better if you want then this is a good time to accumulate SOL under $40.
The growth of SOL doesn't depend on FTX at all, and I don't see why Solana will have any growth after the relaunch of FTX even if they have any connection or something, SOL might grow in value if Bitcoin goes up in price and enters the bull run which will make the whole market go up with it and SOL might go with the ride as well, other than that, I don't see any growth potential in it for now.

People accumulating SOL might be making a mistake when there are better coins out there that can generate them better profits in the long run, I've been holding for a year now but I didn't see any profit coming from SOL even when the market was doing pretty good.
