I've seen your message and you want us to join your stocks community. Well, if you want people not to waste time having those direct messages and those that are interested you can IMO just leave your community link.

Whether they're from discord, slack but I hope that it's not in Telegram because they're not ideal for me and they're full of BS where scammers have been living long.

1. Trading money that you can't afford to lose
I have to agree with this and it's good that it's on the number one. It is because many of the traders, new or not have thought that just because you're engaged in trading means taht you're going to profit.

And the logical thinking that many of us have is when they invest more money or start with a better capital, they have more edge in the market but little did they know that they can be beaten by itself when they don't know what to do.

So, trade only with specific amounts and start small for the beginners.
But sometimes what makes new traders to use a lot of their money for their first trading experiencr is because of those deposit bonuses, I don't blame trading platform for that, its just that many new incoming traders wannabe are being too amzed and attracted to those bonuses thinking that if they deposit the minimum amount is that they will have more funds to trade and yes they will as they will have more equity, but the thing is there's nk catch in every bonuses, if you will be more observant you will see that the spread on some trading platform is too high and it means you will be having a hard time to earn from a trade unless you are an experienced and very goo at trading but if you aren't then it will be like a trap that will make newbies in trading trade aimlessly. 

And because they experience losses at first, they could either stop or try to recover their losses, and that's when they lose more money in trading.
Well, those deposit bonuses aren't that much but if that's what they are for then they should just hunt all of those deposit bonuses from different exchanges.

If they can't afford to lose them all, it's best for them not to get into those type of bonuses and just do trading as is so that they won't have any troubles at all.

As for these exchanges, it's part of how they attract more customers so that's a basic promo that they have in their features.

YouTube really discusses a lot of things related to trading and cryptocurrency. But sometimes.... as long as it is content, the responsibility of the content creator is only to entertain and look for viewers, even some important knowledge that is most sought after by everyone, is deliberately hidden for "kitchen secrets" reasons.
Yeah, a lot of free contents in YouTube nowadays that tackles about trading. You can start with all of that stuff and learn your techniques but you have to apply your own trades to yourself with your own money.

You'll get to see those content creators that have real intentions of helping their community and people to upskill in trading and there are goes that keeps talking about money milking from their viewers.

With the latter, if you have noticed that to the content creator you follow then stop wasting your time on them.

Force yourself to be consistent with what you do. What urges you and makes you think that you shouldn't procrastinate? think of them.

There are tons of reasons for us to stop procrastinating but it's really hard to defeat this when you have been used to it and that's why break the cycle, do something meaningful and think of all of those reasons why you need to stop having this attitude.

It wouldn't bring you to your goal A and B if you keep doing this.

Politics are easy today to those that have money. As long as they're popular, with money and even celebrities. This is how the politics system in most countries.

But some countries still stand still and straight with principles with their politics. Most that we know of that are involved on it are dirty and they don't really get into the real help to their people but only to take everyone's taxes and put it on their pockets.

Well, this is for the corrupt leaders as I'm talking.

If you have dealt with them before, you know that you can't be a victim of theirs for the second time around.

Sometimes I actually believe these scammers hypnotize some of their victim with some sort of magic trick to force them into believing them, and probably when they are done with you, that's when you realise yourself.
While the scam is quite familiar, it's true that the victims are likely hypnotized by them and that's due to how they're playing with the emotion of their victims. They know how to talk and bring the conversation as if the victim is dancing in their palm.

868  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Management on: March 18, 2024, 08:17:58 PM
It's self discipline, without it we will never be successful in what whatever we are doing, especially that involves cash in this manner. We have set a strategy to follow, that includes bankroll management, but if we lose control along the way, we will end up refiling our bankroll from time to time, and worst is if we could not control ourselves to get overly aggressive betting a huge amount of money we cannot afford to lose anymore.
If it's gambling, I wouldn't consider things that are rotating on it as a success. I'm good by having simple wins and that's enough to make me happy and to tell that I am able to manage myself well as I gamble.

But that's just me and that's how I interpret things and I am just a person with low type of happiness. Because I see a lot of gamblers losing their controls and getting to that point as you've described.

It's too bad to see that many of them become aggressive and lose themselves.
869  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do big time traders or investors do for fun while waiting? on: March 18, 2024, 06:54:02 PM
What's fun to them is to get close in the market at all times. Yeah, that's the reality as if the market is already attached to their bodies and can't be removed.

That's how they enjoy their lives and whatever they're doing like some kind of activities, they're still trying to max out their time and opportunity by watching and getting close to the market.

at current preev rate
OMG, I didn't realized they're back.

Not really... examplens made a similar site and registered the domain preev.net. And since the old .com stuck in my head, my now go-to site for current rates is still preev, just the .net instead of the .com Smiley
I see but the .com does works again and I just didn't realized that it's back and there's also the same one with a different domain.

If you have nothing important to spend your bitcoin then why need to take profit ? but since you have mentioned of no intention to sell then you have got what you need to hear , explained by the first poster .
expecting that you don't need many answers because that is more than enough to understand what ou wanted to get from the community.
It's because there's still the influence of having it in plain cash. As they say, cash is king and anything that you want to buy is in cash. But you're right that if there's nothing important to spend then why waste that bits or satoshis that you're holding into them.

You can choose to stay in your local for discussions that you're familiar with in your language. But you seem to have an understandable English and I can say that you're better than me so should you join other boards for discussions, don't get scared as long as you don't get off topic.

I have a lot of questions and I don't want to stress everyone with my many questions hence the reason why I am asking for  links to useful threads. Thanks for your help.
No worries, ask what you want to ask and check out the stickies first from this section and if you're done, go with the other sections.

Men's violence against women must end.
Nowadays, it's not just always about men that does violence.

-Are you for or against equal pay for women? And why?
I am for equality, whatever is the rightful pay for each efforts then it should be retaliated with the correct pay. No matter what task you do, it should be aligned with the pay.

Long time before, it's okay to argue and say that only men build roads. But in modern times, skilled and professional women have their own contributions with those too.

Can you give us advice from your personal experience  in crypto!?
Patience really pays off.

You may not seem to notice how important holding is but take it from the OGs who have bought Bitcoin early and then just did nothing but held it.

They're the most profitable ones even if you compare them with the greatest meme coin gainers. It pays off to be patient and that's one big lesson that I've extracted from being on this market.
874  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drake and Bruno Mars An Example of How Gambling Addiction Can Affect Anyone on: March 18, 2024, 01:42:57 PM
I've been reading a lot of news about him and the amount of speculations and rumors that appear on social media, especially on X. Even if we say that Bruno Mars has not released a statement yet, there are a lot of people giving comments and mostly people seeing him gambling in a casino in Las Vegas but X turned down the tweets about him especially the ones with attached photos of him, so it seems that all the news about him is true. Tho, there is nothing wrong if he gambles because he is using his own money, but he has many fans who are under the age of minors and he can be a bad influence on them, especially if he gradually neglects his career.
Well, that can't be denied by those who have witnessed him to gamble there and are aware of his debt. While there's really no problem at all but the figures that's being shown isn't normal for us because we're just plebs but for a celebrity like him, I think that there's a problem if it's becoming a debt.

I think enough of people surrounding him have already known about it, he didn't need to come out and tell the world about his addiction, what good can anyone do for him to help him get rid of his addiction in any way?

I don't care about getting to know if truly he is addicted or not, it won't get me paid in any way and it won't stop so many beginners from getting addicted too.

Anyone can become a victim of addiction, either they are politicians or musicians or big figures in the world today, it doesn't matter, as good as gambling can get, it can also turn into a poison for your heart.
Yeah, we won't benefit from knowing if he's addicted or not or whether he's got that tons of debt because of his addiction.

But if the people that's surrounding him will give some help but he won't agree and obey, it's really his own fault of getting onto that point and only himself can help him.
875  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drake and Bruno Mars An Example of How Gambling Addiction Can Affect Anyone on: March 17, 2024, 11:12:14 PM
I've seen headlines about Bruno Mars getting addicted in gambling and even has got a debt of $50M in Vegas. I don't know if that's for real but with a lot of news coming out and those headlines that have published it all together.

It's very likely that the news is true.

But I haven't seen him release a statement about it but if it's true then there's no need for him to hide it and just say that it's real and will pay the debts.
Well he can pay it silently without releasing a public statement. After all, he does not an owe an explanation from us. However, I must say that gambling addiction will not bring positive effects in our lives, but it will only worsen the situation and put our lives into misery. Regardless of your position in life, VIPs or non-celebrities, still one should gamble responsibly. Gamble only for fun, not to chase instant big profits, as it’s seldom to see big winnings in gambling casinos, but it often lead us to losing all our funds.

Big time celebrities are not excused from gambling addiction. Although they can hit one time big time winnings, but most often they can lose all their millions in just a blink of an eye. That’s why it’s not surprising anymore to see such big time celebrities who are gambling addicts eventually fall into being homeless and losing their careers eventually.
Yeah right.

He doesn't owe an explanation to anybody but he's a public figure and these news are going to put stain to his image. But it's up to him whether he'd give that importance to these news that came out that deals about him and his gambling addiction and debt.

IMO, it's a big thing that he has to clear and make sure that it won't affect his image. But whatever he does, it's still not going to change the fact that he's still a big celebrity and I hope that he's not one of the many celebrities that have experienced fame and riches to lose everything.

This might be the effect of his lazy song?  hehehe Grin

It's good you later realized yourself and changed your gambling pattern.
When a gambler admits his mistake, he's truly going to learn from that experience that he did and unlikely going to repeat the same mistake. Although this is gambling and we're not going to win at all times.

But his admission is going to lead him to the right decision making when he gambles. This is where the gamblers lead on how to do the right approach because not everyone can admit their mistakes.

Realization will always hit at the end and not all gamblers have the understanding to this because we're mostly falling victims of our own pride when we're losing.

But he should stop his madness, before he got the label as the "crazy guy" in crypto world. Or he's been already is known to a lot as the crazy one.  Grin
There is now the basis for his madness and for being imaginative. If the time comes and that he won't stop, people will just throw the decision of the court.

That's much better preference as there's the basis and it's the court that had told him to stop him being crazy and it is nonsense to make people believe that he's satoshi.

And it's not just being told by the courts but has been spread quickly by the publications.
879  Other / Off-topic / Re: Taking profits vs bitcoin value on: March 17, 2024, 07:39:18 PM
Thanks for the reply. I'm not taking profits at the moment. I am 'hodling' because I expect the Bitcoin unit price to increase quite a bit. But at the same time, I don't want to acquire more bitcoin at this high price because if the unit price eventually falls below the price that I paid for it, then this higher price purchase will start to detract from my profits. I don't want that at this point. I would prefer to take profit in something stronger than the failing US currency. Just saying. You can comment if you like. Thanks
That's fine.

That's your investment so you have all the might to do whatever you want with it. If you don't feel to take some profits right now then don't do it and just wait for the market to be up and be more than the past price but we don't know when it can be achieved.

And about taking more bitcoins through buying at this rate, if you feel that it's quite expensive, you're free not to continue DCAing as no one forces you to do so.

2. Eventually you will hit the jackpot but most likely by then you will have spent more money than you have won.

We could make a similar analysis of the rest of the proverbs.
I am relatable to this.

It is what I have always been hearing from those that cant accept losing and instead, keep on going on because what they are up to is to continue gambling and has that thought of what if they stop, luck could have been there for then.

Another one, "you wont lose if you dont gamble" tell this to a gambler that is in losing streak and they will be triggered.
