841  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: how do you think meme coinis? on: April 10, 2024, 07:07:22 PM
I often see meme coins on various platforms, do they really have potential? I’m not sure about their advantages, can you guys help me explain them?
Every coin has its potential to be recognized by investors. Meme tokens are just being belittle by most of us because it is often haaving no utility unlike with other coins. However, we saw it a couple of times; meme tokens haaving a massive price increase in a short period of time; imagine being able to ride the tide. Indeed, most of the time, hype and manipulation are the things which causes sudden price increase but that's still an opportunity to earn profit from investing to these coins, no matter how we look at it, that we should take advantage of whenever there is. Just be mindful that sudden price decline could take place and that is for you to watch out if you are aiming to engaage in meme coins. And if you are too worried, then there are other projects as an option. We do have different risk tolerance and appetite in the first place.

What do you think of this method?
Is there anyone among you who does it?
Give us one of your winning strategies, of course if that is possible.
I do this personally and I can attest that it does really work because it promotes efficient gambling routine. What I mean with efficient is that you'd be limited to numbers; amount you can afford and amount that would satisfy you. Honestly, this isn't easy to apply because it requires high levels of self discipline. We all know how tempting gambling is especialy if you're in profit that there will be times greed will take over your gambling behavior, having desires of earning more. Same thing goes with losing wherein you'd know how to accept that there are bad days in this industry. It is simply creating a good margin for your bankroll; imagine losing $100 on each day for 10 days than to lose it all on a single day. Although this doesn't guarantee profit from gambling but atleast it would lessen worse gaambling outcomes such as losing everything you have just because you are being furious of losing.
843  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you feel when you experience violence while gambling on: April 10, 2024, 05:53:57 PM
Never experienced one and would probably not be okay witnessing such thing. But if ever I will be in such situation and happened to be one of the people being caught, I'd just explain myself and settle things even the amount if needed. Well, this is the reason why I avoid gambling on casinos or wherein there's a physical interaction between players simply because I don't prefer that and often lose my focus with what I am doing, also with vices in particular with smokers which is a bit common with casino establishments, and of course violence. This is not something which happens on a regular basis but is at least expected because money is involved; something which creates enough drive for people to do things due to frustration and other negative emotions. We always have a choice and that includes moving to other gambling provider if your current is giving you trouble and uncomfortability.
844  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you achieved anything from gambling on: April 09, 2024, 06:58:12 PM
Entertainment and a little profit (in the long run). I did managed to buy a new phone from my gaambling winnings but nothing followed aside from amall profit sometimes.  I am not one with those who won the jackpot and really turned the table for them. Honestly, I never imagined being one of them since I am more into the idea thaat gambling won't change my life in particular with my financial needs because it will just create a drive in me to continue playing and bet more. Some indeed managed to buy a car but the idea that some people have lost their own, scares me for good. I'm fine winning and losing sometimes depending on my fate. The idea of acceptance gelps me to avoid gambling addictions which aare evident to those who brags and hungry of shortcuts towards a better life.
845  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lottery Fever. What are your range of thoughts in response to Lucky Winners? on: April 09, 2024, 06:19:53 PM
Not fond of lotteries however, it is not a hidden fact that there are people who dies without even winning anything from lottery and it is all because of luck and fate. Happy for those who won but if they will be compiled, of course the number would seem to be big and will make lottery promising. However, keep in mind that they won on different dates and that simply means there is really a huge difference in ratio between people who won and people who keeps on losing. Perhaps 1:10m of bettors as an estimate, now, would it still be promising just because people who experienced winning shared their words which are not even representative to the majority.

i am not against such gambling activity but at least lt us be realistic. There will never be something as success in gambling through consistency and persistence.
846  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you depend on game predictions by supercomputers? on: April 09, 2024, 05:50:00 PM
Super computers or what, predictions are simply guesses which means nothing is assured and to the same reason, I'd choose to just base on my own to avoid regrets afterwards given the fact that there's no other to blame if ever it would be a losing bet. It is like allowing some other people to use waste your money and I can do it on my own. If such thing really has high rate of winning tendency then many people should be rich by now or by that time it would be introduced. No gambling provider would also be encouraged to continue their operation because they would be prone from abuse and it will cost a huge amount of money from them. People are just so desperate of gaambling that we end up thinking of a way to save us from consistently losing however, we should at least accept this idea before engaging in gambling industry.
847  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC go back to $40K - $30K range before a bigger rally? on: April 08, 2024, 05:55:39 PM
If it is possibility in general then its price could dump that low especially if nig investors will choose to manipulate the price or to trigger the dump, or if anything could happen perhaps an event that woud push investors to sell and prioritize their daily needs such as with the pandemic has started. However, there is also this tendency that it could just play around its market price at the present until the halving occur. Bottomline is always without certainty when it comes to Bitcoin and other crypto's market price movement unless it actually happen.

If here's because you're worried then choose to hold no matter what if you can. But if in doubt then the option of selling early and wating for a lower market price would as well be valid. Just keep in mind that a sudden pump could also take pace which could leave you at the bottom. Make a decision that won't give you any regret and frustration. Do your DCA and make the right action for your own holding's sake.
848  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Story of my life on: April 08, 2024, 05:34:47 PM

Has anyone had the same experience before?
For sure it is evident with most of the gamblers except for those who are really lucky. But if you're one with those who doesn't win regularly, playing more frequent will just yield to bigger loss. Same reason why I never believed of the martingale strategy of doubling up the amount I lost for the next bet. We're having no assurance at all and things will just become a cycle; win 2 times then lose 6 times, continuing with hopes of getting back with losses then once you're close to that purpose, you'd desire of winning big but things won't go in accordance with what you want IF you are not lucky.

Gambling less frequent would at least save you from big loss and will give you time to gamble efficiently. Same thing with winning, if you know when to stop and what amount is to be secured for that day when you're in winning position, then things would go better than to push things and keep on being left with nothing. As I always say, imposing self discipline would be best than to chase for that much of profit. We just tend to forget that this is gambling and nothing's really certain especially winning.
849  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling: Modern entertainment or highly addictive game? on: April 08, 2024, 05:06:45 PM
I doubt with modern entertainment given that not all people are into gambling activities, in both online and landbased. It just promotes convenience to gamblers who haave no time or personally prefers not, to visit a gambling establishment. Gambling is addictive to those who have huge drive for money and to get rich quickly; the bigger the drive, the longer your exposure, the more you're getting prone to addiction. If gambling is just an activity yielding to negative outcomes, then how come there are still people enjoying their experience despite of loss? It's because there are people who knows what amount are they willing to lose in exchange for entertainment and a little hope for profit. Those who are becoming desperate of short routes to success are the only ones which are contenders for gambling addiction.
Surely the online aspect of gambling has additionally addictive elements and it has also become increasingly easier to out your money in there. Whereas land based casinos on most places keep requiring stricter regulations. So it seems like the animations and proc effects in a online casinos are made specifically with addictive personality traits in mind because you really see them in games that cater to this type of person most such as low RTP slots etc. No wonder the online industry has been meeting s lot of success. Many players but fewer costs.
Depends on what kind of an individual or a gambler you are. Convenience is there with accessibility but if you have control of your gambling desires then I doubt you'd be in a bad situation in this industry. Even if you gamble a few times in casinos, if you will bet everything you have for a single nigjt, then that's the same with gambling daily even with small amounts. Self discipline is a virtue and that's the thing we should prioritize more than hitting the jackpot which will never be assured.
850  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A few crypto questions. on: April 08, 2024, 04:42:05 PM
Hey guys. Just to clear up a little misunderstanding I've got. There's something I don't quite understand and it is what happens after people hodl coins and altcoins.

So, we all say that hodling is better than trading, yeah? And I think the only way to earn from cryptocurrency is by exchanging it for fiat currency, right? Meaning, the hodling is just for the value to increase over a while and then you still trade it right?
And for the altcoins, after buying altcoins, what happens if no one wants to buy them from you? You know a lot of altcoins aren't all that popular so how do people even sell off their altcoins? Can you even hodl altcoins?

I know those are a lot of questions, but I keep on getting it wrong in my head. So thanks in advance for the answers.

Misconception of what trading is and I guess it was comprehended literally. You might be referring to dy trading which is characterized by buying low and selling high. It is holding for a period of time until you're satisfied with profit which is the time you'd be exchanging it to fiat to buy something or make use of it. However perhaps you are about to buy a car and the company accepts crypto, then there's no need to swap it to fiat. All cryptos will be bought in the market as long as there is a volume. Indeed there are those which value have been sleeping and not having a volume that could give you trouble on selling it, but why would you engage on those coins in the first plaace wherein there are established ones already to free you from this worry. Altcoins can be held some are consistently increasing in the long run and one big example is Ethereum. It is normal to misunderstood some concepts and it is the right thing that you've asked. We just tend to generalize things if we know nothing much of it but that's not to close the doors from learning.
851  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's your top performing altcoin this year so far?? on: April 08, 2024, 03:51:25 PM
Solana for me. There is a massive growth in the number of projects this year under its chain which I believe pushed its market value upwards. Others are SUI, ETH, and although it is not an altcoin, I'd still count Bitcoin. These are the coins where I am gaining at this point, but I also have a few holdings with other alts such as with some meme coins just to not let the hype pass. We know how many altcoins are there as options to choose from but I always tend to select a few from the pool given how unpredictable their market prices are. On the same extent I am able to track their charts and price behavior all the time. For now I'd be sticking to these coins and wait for further market confirmation but I am keeping my eye on some new projects for their presale. Diversification is always noted but never make it too scattered that you won't be on watch on each of those coins.
I will never invest in any altcoin (including top altcoin) for now, except

1. ETH
2. BNB
3. AVAX
Major coins are indeed the best option if you're into long term investment. ETH for sure would be on everyone's list but I doubt with BNB since there are rumored restriction with Binance, on some countries which could create an FUD. Being updated to these news are important because demand on a certain coin or in this industry in general could be easily affected by the slightest and smallest misinformation, so better be careful to dive on those which are currently having issues.
852  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: DO NOT BRAG ABOUT YOUR BITCOIN on: April 08, 2024, 03:16:12 PM
The exact amount of how much bitcoins I have and how much money I am investing in bitcoins should never be shared with anyone else as I feel it must be a secret for me. I bragged about my investment to everyone and if I shared how much I had invested with everyone, it would surely bring us bad things later. By telling others about my investment, why should I unnecessarily create jealousy about my affairs in others? I am investing and I am taking the full risk of the money so only I will know about this and there is no question of anyone else knowing. Those who are real investors keep all the investment matters to themselves and they never discuss their investment matters with anyone else. Hopefully we should follow the type of investors who don't brag about their investments but prefer to keep their investments private.
Maybe it depends to who you aare sharing the information with but I agree, disclosing the exact numbers won't make any sense; the idea already is enough if your purpose is to somewhat give them a suggestion to consider the same thing. Problem is, many people are seeking for investment ideas but are just criticizing what ever it is to be shared with them, most of the time. This is what I am referring on choosing who to share those success with. Share it only with those who are curious of the process and not with the profit. Personally, I have experienced negativity with sharing investment plans. A friend of mine before got hyped although it is not my intention and panicked during the dip way back 2018, wherein he chose to sell and blaame me for it. But this experience is not to close the doors for those who are really interested simply bevause I was once there on that position looking for someone to guide me at least.
853  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Memecoins on the Solana Chain are still thriving. on: April 08, 2024, 02:45:55 PM
What are your thoughts on this? Do you believe this trend will continue to grow, or is it just overhyped speculation?
While there's the trend, savor it while it lasts. We know that the crypto market is speculative and whichever is currently trending, you should just stay on it until it becomes less trendy. But this seems to be a long bull run for those meme coins and solana is no doubt becoming the winner on this pace. If the majority are still thinking of them being overhyped, I am one of them but can't be denied that this overhype is bringing such profits to those that have risked a lot.
Indeed, nothing's permanent if you mind the hype, you can actually make use of this opportunity to milk those cows for a while. However, you have to be careful; indeed there are many coins which are having a huge rate of increase and having an early entry would give you big advantage and profit but keep in mind of sudden rugpull with these projects. Saw some news recently and that should be an enough warning for investors who plans to ride those tides. Never hold for that long and avoid being too greedy of profit. A x10 of capital would be big already; don't wait for them to pull the coin down and be left with nothing.
Like it or not, on-chain gambling won't go away; especially knowing that it runs under a guise making a lot of people think they're "investors" but really they're just gambling.

Yea of course things will die down a bit in the future, but overall, I don't think it's going anywhere.
You can't pull out your bet in gambling unlike with these projects at least, in an instant. It will just be a gamble on the extent of seeking for a jackpot token that would give you x100, which is a bit rare. Memetokens might not have utility in most instances but as long as there is a demand for it then why not make use of such opportunity right? But of course wisely.
854  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is a best way of taking advantage of BTC dips when away? on: April 08, 2024, 01:24:57 PM
If you have someone you can trust, by all means, then try contacting them to buy for you and tell them that you'd pay once you comeback on when you are again available. This is not to give them your private keys, they may store it on their wallet and just note the amount. If you don't have such friend they forget the dip and wait for your availability to invest. When it comes on dip, it won't be lasting for only a few seconds sometimes it would go for a week or longer and there's no need to rush given that the market won't recover in an instant. Always plan your entry and avoid FOMO to get rid of unwanted loss.
Call me an idiot, I don't care but I believe that this question deserves some answer.

I have been hearing about the importance of buying Bitcoin at the dip and something good strikes my heart.

What if I can't be available when Bitcoin is dumping? What if I am away because in reality I am always busy, you can tell how epileptic my activeness on this forum have become.

Is there anyway to buy Bitcoin dips when I am not available? So this come to my mind straight away.

A bitcoin buy the dip bot, that can trigger a certain price when I am away, is this possible?

Don't tell me to use a centralized exchange, been not active in crypto space means that a centralized exchange can collapse before you come back, I want something in my control.

If you have a better option, don't hesitate to share.
Well, you can use the DCA method to buy the dip, you just have to have a certain investment plan with a capital in place for let's say six months. There are trusted centralised exchange like Binance, because most of the possibilities of what you want can actually be done with bot using CEX. However your not an idiot, your just an investor looking for flexible method to suit your investment schedule, which is quite
 understandable.
Well DCAs would really work such as placing a certain amount that would trigger your purchase in particular qith buy orders. If it would be bots then you are the one to do it or to pay someone to do it for you. However, by experience it would still be better to have your presence whenever there's a sudden deep 'coz the price is so unpredictable tht mighy fall lower than what you have expected qhich could either trigger your stoploss or eat up your margin.
855  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you advise a friend in the same way? on: April 07, 2024, 11:17:38 PM
Well, given that we are in this industry, we know how profitable Bitcoin is as a digital currency and how profitable it is especially during bull market. However, running a company is just different and that funds of it should be properly alloted. Obviously, Bitcoin's market price is volatile; if the company will be in a sudden in need of money for maintenance and other necessities, and the price of Bitcoin  happened to be down by that moment, How would he resolve the situation? It is good that you give him an advice or suggestion because that's his primary need based on the scenario. It will still depend into him whether he would choose to do so or not to. He should just take consideration that he is running a business and adding a risk to a risk will be tricky on his end.
Is this the wrong advice? A friend of mine took over his father's company because he is so old already and he told me about the money thats available doing nothing in the bank.

I told him to think about investing that money if he wants to keep the company growing, I told him about how MicroStrategy is doing so well using Bitcoin as a strong backbone of the company, I believe that even a small company can turn big if they use Bitcoin as their main investment.

Or am I wrong? I need to know if this advice is a good one or a bad one, I gave him this advice because we are very close and also because I will do the same thing if I am in his shoe, this is the best thing i can think of right now.
In short-term you're probably right about giving that advice but in the long-term, there's a possibility that the business would see some unforeseeable events that could lead to something really bad which would end up with you having nothing but the chances of being blamed. I think that you need a spare money that's never moved or meddled in any way in a business because expenses that aren't expected are expensive especially with business not to mention that the foreseeable things that might happen is even higher because your friend took over a company and we all know how it feels when it comes to changes in the management, a lot of people would have a hard time adjusting and some might not even like the new management that could lead to them quitting which is a big possibility.
If he happened to follow this advice, he could easily do a short term and long term action, however profit will never be assured. But what's best to do is to ask from who he inheritted it from for what's best to do if that person is still alive 'coz for sure he would know what's best for that company.
856  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is all this memecoin hype about? on: April 07, 2024, 10:51:14 PM
Well, memes behind every memecoins are already popularity. And as a cryptocurrency despite of having no ulitity most of the time, its market price movement generates profit to those who can actually ride the tide.There's no other reason; memecoins are also profitable. However, if it is for long term holding then I doubt. Most of the memecoins are having large token pool. Also,  as I mentioned there are no specific usage or in these coins, which makes sense to say that memecoins will find it hard to have a contonuous market price increase in the long run. Nothing's too great actually, but as long as investors are making profit out of its concept then, we cannot blame those who are being interested into it. All I know is to not put that much in any coin there is no matter how huge the hype is, 'coz it is hard to be squeezed once a decline starts on these coins value. Manipulation is also common in these coins which are only dependent with hype so be careful.

$PEPE, SHIB, FLOKI and the likes have impressed investors for having high price increase within a short period of time on its market prices but if you're not new in this industry, you should know that dumps would always be a counterpart. Memecoins are good still, however avoid buying on peak market prices to at least lessen the tendency of huge loss. Don't also bet on it as if this is gambling. Choose still to diversify your capital.
857  Economy / Economics / Re: Business/Entrepreneurship. on: April 07, 2024, 06:12:22 PM
Entrepreneurship is more of using or utilizing resources and coming up with innovation unlike with businesses which are often with existing ideas and improvements. But these are just definitions of the words. A better question is which would work more on your shoe? Well, that depends on your skills and resources as an individual. Nothing's better than the other it is always what would work better if you are to start something.
Although entrepreneur and businessman are not the same, they are compared in the same category.  Entrepreneurs come up with innovative ideas for new business. They express their creativity. They take new initiatives. But after taking the initiative, they trade in the market through that thought. And traders invest their money in a particular business. And trade accordingly.  There is a possibility of loss for both people here.
Another angle I guess is longevity of the 'output'. Businesses are meant to exist on a lifetime while entrepreneurship is understood to be temporary and most of the time, short term due to advancements an entrepreneur will be doing to seek for the best as one's goal. Entrepreneurship is something that would start based on environment and present situations whil with businesses, there are times improving what exists would be enough to have your own pathway.
858  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin to the common man. on: April 07, 2024, 05:07:54 PM
In a realistic point of view, those who you call 'common man' are most of the time not interested with investments because for them it is not practical and they have to deal with more important things on a daily basis such as bills and other daily needs. Many people have the same idea about investment, which has something to do with risk of losing, and unfortunately, they are the ones of the category who cannot afford that tendency because for them that money which has a chance to be turned into a loss, could be more useful with the things a man needs to 'survive'.

Also not to mention, Bitcoin is not known by majority of people also the idea that not all people who's aware of its existence, are interested in the first place. Therefore, no matter how good we view Bitcoin is, as an investment, we cannot force the idea to those who are not into it. Wait for them to have the initiative to engage. Sharing to them the idea would help but again, there's no need to things on their end.
859  Other / Off-topic / Re: How you can benefits from your loss ? on: April 07, 2024, 04:30:10 PM
Losing is a part of gambling and will always be. I'd say it is not a good thing to experience but something we won't be able to avoid as long as we gamble. The only thing we could learn from a loss, is to learn from that experience. This doesn't mean that on your next bet, qinning is guaranteed, 'coz there's no such thing. What's best is to learn how to restrict yourself from losing more than what you can really afford to lose. A $500 loss vesus a $100, what's more likely to affect you? Of course that's the bigger amount. If we would make restraining ourselves to bet big or all in, then at least it won't damage us that much to the extent that we'd regret things and will still continue to do so out of frustration. Given that it won't be assured to win, limiting the bets that we engage will at least give us a better margin and will help us avoid the worse. Gambling is really open to everyone but gambling activity isn't for everyone; only to those who knows how it works.
860  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stopping the curse of losing streak? on: April 07, 2024, 03:43:46 PM
Taking a pause in gambling would somehow calibrate your luck. Luck is something we have no control of and if we would push our way 'til we win, we'd just suffer from bigger loss and with that, trying on the next day will at least give way for luck to enter although without assurance, but would be worth trying; that's just how luck works. But sometimes, there are peopl who are having a longer losing streak, perhaps a month or more, then in this case what'w the solution? I'd day it should be the same thing or to completely stop gambling. Chasing profit from gambling in the first place, to the extent of you are depending your financial capacity into it, is a bad thing given the lack of assurance with the outcome. It is okay to expect of profit but never rely your fate of getting rich to something which has that much of risk because it is the same as with taking a shortcut to success. In gambling, if it is for you, then it will come to you without the need of forcing it.
