901  Economy / Economics / Re: How to increase profit in business on: May 10, 2023, 06:30:45 PM
One of the main things about business is rivalry, the profit business gets is always only a part of the overall profit in the business field. So the best way to increase profit is to be up to date with what rivals do, and try to do better. This is not only about quality (quality is for sure an undoubtable thing which should be under strict control of the business owner): also ad campaign, and the other features essential for attracting customers (good positioning in the streets and in media) should be not worse than those of the rivals.
I think being rivals to someone does improve the quality of the product and lowers the price so it is definitely good for the customers but not great for the business. It means if you build something that has no rivals at that point (but will have many if you succeed) could become a better situation. Think about it this way, if you could create a new product that nobody else has, that means you are the only one, and you can charge anything you want, and that's the greatest thing that a business could have.

You could get it made for 20 cents and sell it for 20 bucks because there is no competition. If there is a competition, you may end up lowering as much as 50 cents or lower. This is why trying to find a place where you have no competition could actually work wonders for you.
902  Economy / Speculation / Re: does the increasing number of altcoins have a negative impact on the price btc on: May 10, 2023, 03:26:30 PM
I'm still a beginner in crypto, as we know from time to time the number of altcoins is increasing, but I want to ask,
will the increasing number of altcoins affect the price of bitcoin,?

but in my opinion it will not affect the price of bitcoin, even though the number of altcoins is increasing.
it has nothing to do with it at all, precisely with the increasing number of altcoins, it means that the adoption of crypt globally has increased, but the problem is that the number of altcoins that are increasing in the market does not indicate that the crypto market is growing well, it could be that most of the altcoins that appear today are shitcoins , which was launched only to create hype in the market.
I agree that it has increased to a great level and I feel like it just spreads the love of crypto. So all in all I believe that raising the amount of coins that exist today may not be a great solution or a great marketing tool, but it is not a bad one neither.

Sure most of them are shitcoins I agree with that, 99% of coins out there today are shitcoins, interestingly there are more coins not listed on CMC than the ones listed, and there is like 15k+ coins listed there, so that means there are 50k+ coins out there, and I would vouch for like maximum of 10 of them, the other 49990 are all shit. And yet, I still support they should exist because that means we are on the right track and that does mean that it is going to a right direction and should not be an issue.

If the time to buy is definitely right, then there will be nothing to regret. Considering that we are still in a bear market and at the current price the investment is already profitable, then everything is done correctly.

If the bear market is not at its final stage, and the price continues to fall for some more time, then nothing bad will happen, since this will be an additional opportunity to replenish the investment portfolio.

I don’t know if we should talk about greed here, maybe we should be greedy in our desire to get as much bitcoin as possible during this period, but this greed should not prevent us from selling bitcoin in a bull market and making a profit.
This is the right approach to buying bitcoin, it helps you in the long run and you should be able to do it with ease. I understand that people may not enjoy the fact that they are making a loss and all, but we are talking about making a profit that would help you one way or another. I hope that people could end up understanding what is required in the end, but the first thing you need to be able to do is buying at the right time, if you can do that then there is nothing else that could make it harder for you.

If you bought at the right time, then you did the right thing and you should not be worried, it is such a simple thing and the results would be a good thing, it just ends up being the waiting time that will change but that is fine if you are a long term investor.

It is true that the price of Doge had a pump in price the moment Elon Musk change the Twitter logo to Doge from 0.07-0.1 cents within 24 hours. After that has the price crossed 0.1 cents till then? The price is still fluctuating around 0.08 at the moment.
Now few people pay attention to these, boring to everyone, ways of PR from Ilon Musk. Many have already realized that DOGE is too overbought and bloated, so there is not much profit to be made there. Now there appeared many new meme-coins, which grabbed attention of crypto investors, but DOGE with its turtle growth rate is not interesting for very few people now.
It has been like that for a while now, I mean when you take a meme project into top 10, what did you expected? How could that go up even more, did they expected it to go above bitcoin? ethereum? Not even bnb would be possible for it. So that means it was futile attempt, even if it went up like that, the only way left was down, and that is it. Meme projects could be a fun gamble if you want to buy something at release and hope that it gets hyped and you make some profit and sell.

But, aside from that there is really nothing that can make them in the top 10 and stay there or grow. Even shiba was at 10th place at some point I think, or was close at least, not 15th and will go down even more from there, doge will be out of top 10 soon enough as well, I am sure of it.
905  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: May 08, 2023, 06:44:05 PM
I understand that Real will go to UCL next season anyway, but being third is such a shameful result. This team won la liga plus ucl last season, just last season, and in a single season they may lose UCL and be third in the league. That is just way too bad and I feel like that shouldn't really be considering a good season at all, that is a season to forget for them. Forget about the cup and all, that means nothing.

From here on out, the only thing that can make this season alright is beating City and then getting UCL whoever they face on the final game, but there is absolutely nothing good about losing that too, that would be terrible. Or they could get back on the horse at the league and beat ATM to win second position back, which could happen but they really need to do that.
why is madrid a team that every opponent is always afraid of, because they are a miraculous team, madrid has often been underestimated in the semi-finals and finals of the UCL, and that will definitely continue to happen.  now madrid's performance is in doubt because they are only able to be ranked 3rd, but the la league season is not over yet, madrid will definitely take the runner-up position again.
The difference is that they weren't third in the league when that happened, they are now third, behind Barcelona and even ATM, and that rarely ever happens, when was the last time Real Madrid was out of top 2? This is a rare occasion and that is why they are considered weaker than they used to be.

I understand that some people may still like them, but that doesn't mean that they will do well, they just can't operate at the level they used to operate and that is why most people think City will beat them easily. This isn't a shocker because not only Madrid ended up worse, but also City got better as well, and when you think about that, compared to last years matchup, they are facing a much different series to be fair. I think that will be a very important difference for sure.

Just the two of them do look like there is really nothing good will come out of that but unfortunately that will be the case most probably. USA will be the losing one whoever wins that race, I pity them a lot, they couldn't bring out a good decent candidate since Obama, such a shame. Right now, even Mitt Romney looks like a good alternative to be fair, he wasted his chance running for president on Obamas reelection, he should have been the nominee now to be fair.

In any case, it is going to be a tight race without a doubt, we have seen 4 years from both of them, and the polls even today looks close enough, and it will only get closer. We will most probably see it go either way and very close during the election as well. It will come down to just few tens of thousands of votes for something 400+ million people will be affected by.
907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: May 08, 2023, 06:45:44 AM
Arsenal victory today was a surprise to me, I couldn't imagine Arsenal wining Newcastle by 2:0 without the Newcastle side replying even a single goal. Today's victory has really kept Arsenal hope alive once again, if they can continue in wining their remaining games ,it definitely gonna increase their chances of lifting the trophy. However Manchester City on their side, is a team that can't give up when it comes to a situation like this in the premier league, when it's clear that they're on the top of the table, the chances of them losing their games is something that won't be considered easy as they're such a strong team to get defeated in the premier league right now.
Yeah, Arsenal's victory today against Newcastle is indeed unexpected by many, considering the fact that Arsenal have lost most of their games against smaller teams, this victory tonight is one that i am very happy about, as it indeed proves that Arsenal is back on their feet again, but its rather unfortunate that it seems late, considering that they lost most of their games when winning was really needed for them to continue staying in the first place in the EPL table..

Even if Arsenal start winning all their games now, I do not think Manchester city will give them the opportunity to take the first place again, as it seems Manchester city is indeed determined to win the title this season, but all the same, we keep watching and hoping for some surprises.
I agree, City already won the league and it's done, there is really nothing wrong. I believe that we can't really make it work in any other possible way, City will not lose that much points ever again, there is really nothing wrong with that. I hope that they do well enough and all, but that's just not going to end up being an issue.

Hopefully they will do great, and Arsenal does great too and we see a very close matchup between the two teams until the very end, but I highly doubt that City would lose any games ever again. That doesn't mean Arsenal had a bad season though, obviously their fans must be upset that they can't get the title, they really want one, but they should be happy that they had such a wonderful season without a doubt, that was a good thing for their future at least.
908  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto traders beaten by girls on: May 07, 2023, 05:53:32 PM
these surveys are often very misleading, there are 1500 people who participated in the survey, it is a very small number and it was not a survey carried out in all of Singapore, according to google Singapore has a population of 5.454 million, but only 1500 people participated in the survey, I think that if more people had been asked we would have discovered the obvious: men are the ones who are most at the computer looking at the charts and trading, and it makes no sense to say that women are much more interested in trading cryptocurrencies, whether in any country, this will be absurd

It doesn't take a lot of genius to figure this out, all of us here on the forum have neighbors, we have friends, we have relatives, from now on and just look at how many women and men who are your friends, relatives and neighbors buy cryptocurrencies constantly, do day trade and invest for the long term. you will get the answer which to me is a very obvious answer. many politicians are creating a narrative that women are like men, but in practice this is not true and will never be true, I agree that in terms of laws women and men should be equal, they should have the same salaries, they should have the same job opportunities, in sport they should also have the same opportunities as men
I think that is still the average because that is big enough. You know those political polls that people consider the polls for elections? Those are usually around those numbers too, some higher of course but some are about that much. This is why we shouldn't really be shocked about it.

There are literally entire campaigns for worlds biggest nations just based on polls of 1500 people, or at most 3-4 thousand people. This is why I believe that you should consider that as average too. Sure there could be a bit changes, there is probably enough changes to make them closer as well. But in the end it will not be too much different from this, it will be something that is close to this result and not wildly different, 1500 is good enough sample size.
909  Economy / Economics / Re: Coinbase CTO lose his 1million bet on: May 07, 2023, 09:18:03 AM
Wapfika, I will like to tell you to keep quiet, there might be ghosts SEC workers on here reading this right now, don't say such thing again or you will keep giving people the clue, just joking  Grin

I thought Coinbase is ready to leave the united states because of regulation issue that they want to be resolved fairly? Anyways it's pretty hard to know why this man decided to gamble this money away, that's a lot and I believe there might be more to this move.

For him to think that Bitcoin can reach 1m dollars is crazy because we are still struggling to see Bitcoin over 100k, I knew this was nonsense when I first read about the news about the gamble, 99% knew that he is going to lose that money.
Lol Cheesy. But seriously, CTO made a weird bet, and I think it wasn't even a bet and he was just going to do it anyway and he just wanted to make it public. As in he couldn't just go "look at me donating to people!! wow I am such a good person!!" because that would be a bad move and not only he would donate 1.5 million but he would be disliked for it, that's a bad idea.

But instead, he made a fake bet, and that way not only he donated, but he wasn't considered a bad person and he was thought as a fool at best, but not bad person, and his donation got public awareness anyway at the same time. That seems like the only possible idea and should be considered as the reality, that is what has happened if you ask me and that is why it probably worked the way he wanted it to work.
910  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading or investment! What's your take? on: May 07, 2023, 06:55:15 AM
If it is about Bitcoin, I think it is better to invest than to trade it. I almost never trade Bitcoin because I can't get enough profits by trading Bitcoin since I only use small money. While trading in altcoins, I can get enough profits because altcoins are more volatile and can move the price quickly. Bitcoin price just grows gradually and it is not very significantly moving.
Perhaps, it's true and I'd never use BTC trading pairs until I notice that it was not profitable compared to altcoins.
And I see that BTC is just only for long-term investment, not really cool for trading. Because in investment, we don't need to have a very volatile coin but what we need is a project that will certainly grow and increase its price in the long run, and this is how we know about Bitcoin. But in trading, we need to consider how volatile it was and seems to see that Bitcoin doesn't have that kind of behavior now.
I think it would still work if you try to look for futures. Since there are x10 or x50 or x100 and some more, that means you could make volatile deals. If that is all you look for of course, that is why most people prefer bitcoin futures instead of altcoins, sure altcoins are volatile but they are unreliable as well, whereas bitcoin is not as volatile as some of the low caps, but if you use x100 then it is as volatile as it gets and you could lose it all in a minute.

Plenty of people turned thousands of dollars into millions of dollars within a few months only by just doing high leverage during bull run, that should be considered a good deal and I hope that many people start to learn that easily as well. I personally feel like we will have plenty of people get rich using leverage during next bull run as well.

If we look at the rumors about this, it is true that Newcastle and Neymar have been rumored even since last season.
The current state of affairs for Neymar likely leaving will be crystal clear especially with the current treatment of fans so it's only natural that this speculation will resurface.
But on the other hand, if I'm not mistaken, Neymar can also go anywhere as long as there is the right offer and his salary is not reduced like PSG and that was last year, this year is also likely to be the same even though he can still be at a bigger club, but with Newcastle's current progress and with the financial conditions they have, they might grant it if they are really interested in Neymar.
Most chances things like this can happen because we have too much noise around PSG for the departure of two big stars with Messi is having nothing clear about his future Barcelona is not in position to give any update about this as well with Neymar is having good offers with current level of salary most chances Newcastle United will steal this deal with few are saying Manchester United and Chelsea are also in this race, but Chelsea is not sure with their future is uncertain after worst end of this season and Newcastle United is in strong position.

Specially chances are high for them to end at top four and go through for the Champions League and they surely in search of few top stars for this as well in next few weeks we will have better results about these rumors which will be most chances in favor of English club which is having good end after many years.
912  Economy / Economics / Re: The journey of Bitcoin. on: May 06, 2023, 08:36:35 AM
Since its inception in 2009, Bitcoin's popularity has been steadily increasing. Bitcoin is spread all over the world now and the prevalence of Bitcoin is increasing day by day. 190 million official news investment amount may increase further. Because there are many countries where Bitcoin is completely illegal, people in those countries usually secretly invest in Bitcoins that are not exposed to the public. The number of people investing in Bitcoin, whether privately or openly, is growing. 

Friends around us were not much interested in Bitcoin before but recently they are showing interest in Bitcoin. And I decided to help them as much as I could. Hopefully this way the popularity and expansion of Bitcoin will increase.
I did not know it was 190 million, but I am sure that we are going to break over 1 billion eventually. What we need to remember is that time passes as well, time is our ally, which means that people who are 70+ years old may not invest into bitcoin ever again, they may die without ever having bitcoin. However, kids who are 5-10 years old now, could grow up and have a job one day and invest into bitcoin one day, which will take time but that means a whole generation is growing up that could end up buying bitcoin.

So this number will only increase, we will have a lot more people investing into bitcoin. There are generations who are 10-12 years old, even as old as technically 15 years old (bitcoin first paper in 2008, published in 2009) which may start investing, so people who were born AFTER satoshi published his paper, may end up buying soon, if they start working high school level jobs. That is an important thing.
913  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Government's actions against crypto on: May 06, 2023, 05:55:59 AM
Everyone keeps saying that USA government is "attacking" crypto, but aside from a few words by few people, there is no legit action towards crypto as a whole. Sure they are checking into binance.us, but that is a company and you need to remember that a company is not representative of crypto as a while, they did that with USDT which was Tether company, and they did that with XRP as well which is Ripple as a company.

So, if governments start to look into crypto companies a lot more carefully, be happy about it and not sad because that is how it should be. Too many people are acting as if  that is a good or bad thing but the reality is that it should not be a big deal, it is as well as you hope for and should not be considered as a deal breaker, nothing bad will come out of hits.
Yeah that is called regulation, governments could have regulations regarding crypto and crypto companies and that would be lovely, but there are some nations with that and yet there were people who still stole money from others. Like in my nation there was a guy who opened an exchange and in the end they stole everyone's money and ran away with nearly a billion dollars. That means that we still can have regulations and people stealing. Think about it this way, in the fiat world, could you steal peoples money? Are you allowed? You are not allowed to steal right? And yet there are thieves right? People who still, even though it is illegal.

This means that regulations may change some stuff, but it is not going to make it a lot better, it is just going to make it a bit harder to steal, but there will still be people who do steal anyway.

Real Madrid hasn't choose with Copa del Rey and Champion League matches schedule because left three days after facing Osasuna have important match against Manchester City in Champion League. Carlo Ancelotti have smart rotation with his players composition against Osasuna and seems can't push three days later with the same line up composition against  Manchester City. Both matches most important for Real Madrid after losing compete in La Liga tittle race and right now left opportunities with copa del rey and champion league.

Rotation is must adopted by Ancelotti if want their team keep in the top level performance from copa del rey and Champion League, I think Madrid still difficult finding new back up for Karim Benzema position after losing last game against Real Sociedad when Benzema absent.
The problem is that they are both important games, so if they end up putting younger players or bench players against Ossasuna, they would lose a cup, but they can't play every single great player neither, that would make them tired before the City game as well, so what could they do? I am not entirely sure to be fair but that looks like a big deal and I fear that it may not be as good as people imagined it should be.

I bet that they are going to end up with a little bit of trouble overtime, but that is going to end up being the least important part of it. I know that there is a good chance that we could end up with seeing them play the same roster in both of them which is the likely thing to do, but it will definitely cause them a fatigue issue against City without a doubt.
915  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading not a get rich quick on: May 04, 2023, 01:42:49 PM
Investing with the goal of wanting to get rich quick is the wrong mindset, in fact you could become a rich person through investing, but it's not as easy as you might think. It takes a long process to mature to be able to achieve large and stable profits. I heard that the average person who has the mindset of wanting to get rich quickly always fails in the investment world by leaving only debt. This mindset makes them careless and in a hurry to get profits without realizing the losses, so they always fall down and have to start over. If investing is based on greed and the mindset of wanting to get rich quick, then what's the difference with gambling.
To get rich, it takes time unless you win the lottery, which means you'll get rich instantly, but again, depending on how fast you get that money, that is also how fast you will lose it. For sure, those people who really want to get rich quickly haven't faced any problems, let's say in investing. Because we are too greedy for profit, we lost all of our money, which we learned lessons from. The same is true in real life: doing overtime and multiple jobs makes your health suffer. Everything takes time, and you should have patience with it.
I feel like as long as you do what you should, rest should be with just time and smart decisions as well. Nobody can get rich quick, but there are people who fail to get rich slow as well, they end up investing into things that they think will make them rich quick, and lose all their money, you shouldn't do that at all.

This is why the possibility of getting rich given enough time exists, but not everyone takes that, and many lose money while investing into big things as well. Getting rich quick does not exists, it's not an option, but while chasing it, losing the possibility of getting rich eventually is the biggest mistake people do, and as long as you can stop doing that, and just take care of business every single day, grind for decades, you will get rich.

Bitcoin touched its all-time high of $31K which is the 2023 market high. When the market reached $31K we had an idea that the Bitcoin market would soon reach $100K.
Market reaching $100k is not an easy thing and I will advise that we should not think much about it. During the last mega bull run that happened, $100k which was the target failed. It will be very difficult for the marker to drag such a FOMO that will pull it to $100k. Our best expectation is something close to or slightly more than ATH.
Why shouldn't it be an easy thing? I feel like that is as easy as it gets. Bitcoin reaching 100k may not happen today or tomorrow, but it is not a hard thing neither, it is something that will surely happen. I personally believe that the best thing about bitcoin is that the price goes up eventually at all times, there is nothing to worry about.

Obviously speaking we are going to end up with some situations where the price will not be doing that well, but that doesn't matter because when the price doesn't well, all you have to do is wait for it to get back to being good again and it will be awesome. I personally believe that it should not be an issue, 100k is simple and all you have to do is wait, I bet that it will get to 100k one day, not today but eventually one day.
917  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will the altcoin go up in price if the bitcoin price goes up? on: May 04, 2023, 08:23:01 AM
obviously that's the case nowadays, but honestly even right now many coins are having value increase on its own regardless of the bitcoin trend, i see this like some strange things honestly usually altcoin and bitcoin move in unison.
It seems unusual but I don't think it's anything strange that should be suspected,
regardless of anything we need to follow the movement of the coin,
for now the price of Bitcoin itself is back down and let's see what happens in the future.
I think it will go back up again, this down is just a sell-off, people made a lot of profit if they bought at lower levels, nearly a double profit already and that seems like a good idea, I feel like they are going to do a lot better in the future as well. Hopefully they should be doing a lot better with time as well and bitcoin price will see a new ATH, maybe not right away but it will take some time to get there and eventually it will get there.

I hopefully see that it will get to a new ATH in a few years, and when that happens I will sell my coins too. I have been collecting enough, maybe I won't sell and wait for a few more new ATH's for a few cycles later, but at the end of the day I will never sell under the current ATH price, not a chance, it would be silly to do that.
918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: May 03, 2023, 08:05:25 PM
I have seen a video explaining the current difference between Ferrari and Red Bull cars this season. It is explained like Red Bull have a car which is faster than their opponent at fast turns. But it is the opposite at slow ones. The Azerbaijan GP track was used as a reference to this but it is the case for the general of the season actually. Moreover Red Bull still can make up for their slow side by being faster than Ferrari on straights.

Ferrari need to bring a huge update package to their car to make their drivers be able to compete for wins. Otherwise they will continue to watch Verstappen and Perez from a long distance in every race. Leclerc was so desperate in the last race for example. Even after safety car Leclerc couldn't benefit from the advantage for a long time. This must be really annoying for him as Ferrari still can't make a competitive car for winning championships.
It looks like the difference is huge enough that Charles failed to keep them at bay, and even when he was passed due to DRS difference, he wasn't capable of catching up to them back again with DRS, the difference is huge. Think about it this way, if you have drs and faster at straights, drs is at straights anyway, so you pass the other teams a lot easier, the difference becomes as much as 20-30 km per hour, but when you are faster and someone coming behind you with drs, the difference is 8-12 km per hour instead of 20-30.

This is why when it comes to red bull passing others, they are much faster and pass them much easier, but when it comes to defending, since they are faster, they can still defend better as well and not get caught up. Also lets not forget that their tire saving methods are better, so they can do laps consistently for longer.

All you need to do is to keep your private key or seed phrase in a safest ways you can, there are a lot of things you can do to protect it, there are some people who write down their seed phrase in a piece of paper and keep them in a secret place and there are also some people who place it underneatch their house.

Just remember not to store it in any social media platform you have or save it in your computer, that would be the riskiest thing you might do to your wallet, we are always vulnerable from attack when we are using any computer or technology so always keep away your secrets on it.
I think you do not really need it that badly or risk it that way. I mean sure write it down to some notebook you have at your house if you want to, that would be a good idea, but you do not have to keep that notebook at a safe location, just your drawer would be enough, no?

I mean where do you live that someone may look into your room, find the notebook, find the seed, and then cash it out? That seems unlikely, even a burglar wouldn't look at a notebook for Christ sake, it doesn't make sense, they would just steal valuables and leave, not your notebook. In the end we are talking about a bigger deal here and that should be more about how you could make a profit based on crypto, the safety stuff are being overthought and no need for it.

I exactly think the same way about allowing these countries to host great tournaments, that's simple they don't have enough facilities and that's not a wise move to let a country without enough facilities host the world cup because there will be consequences even after hosting the world cup, many people are unhappy about the time they spent in Qatar.
That never really mattered to them at all. Qatar is seen "fine" by the west because they can get love from them, Qatar may act as if they do like western people or at least the ones at the top could, but in theory there is really nothing that different fundamentally between Qatar and North Korea, sure the media will make you believe there is, but this is the same nation that thousands of people died to build these stadiums and other stuff so they can host World Cup.

The only thing Fifa cares about is money, if you pay them the bribe you should, then you are going to have the world cup. I am sure North Korea could pay a lot and still won't have it, but they do not really care about anything else, they just care about the money. Saudi Arabia is not democracy for example, they have nepotism and dictatorship, so one family rules it with iron fist, no elections, and if they pay the bribe, they can host it too.
The bribe part is true, but there is a limit to it for sure. Look at how they are approaching to Russia deal right now, because of the war they are saying that Russia can't join, and yet Russia attacked Ukraine before this one as well, this wasn't the first time they did something like that, they did attacked Ukraine in 2014 I think? Not sure, and yet they did managed to host world cup anyway.

So all you can see that there is a limit, Russia attacked Ukraine and hosted, then Russia attacked Ukraine and kicked out, not sure what was the difference between the first attack and the second attack, it is not like they were not allowed to even join, they were HOSTING it after the first one, and the second one they just kicked out and can't even play. So there is a limit, no idea what it is, but there is one.
