901  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What will happen to a wallet when the wallet company closes on: May 18, 2023, 04:10:34 PM
I know is nigh impossible for companies to last forever
So I wanted to know since most Bitcoin holder are HODL
What would happen to a wallet when the company hosting the wallet closes down?
Has any wallet company ever closed down before or experienced issue that affected holders Bitcoin?
Nothing happens to the wallet, it stays where it was, in the blockchain carrying the funds, it is only that you won't be able to access it if the company was hosting the private keys for you and you didn't have access to your private keys, in that case, your funds are lost forever for you and will always stay within that wallet unless the company, later on, decides to move them somewhere else and use them since they have the private keys to it Smiley.

That is why it is essential to always use a noncustodial wallet like Electrum or a hardware wallet where only you have access to your private keys and in case something happens with the company, you can still import your wallet in another supported wallet and use the funds.

Do not under estimate the ability and experience of Mourinho in the Europa League.  He needs not to be counted out especially when  he is even the one leading. You should be prepared to see Mourinho in the finals and when he meets Sevilla that is where the game will become challenging. Sevilla has a decent history in Europa more than their opponents at any time and that was why they were able to eliminate Manchester United who was in good form as at the time they played the match.
However he is a coach who has far more experience than Xabi. and indeed things like this should be watched out for. but indeed for tomorrow's second leg I still have high hopes for Leverkusen to advance to the final regardless of how difficult they are there but that must be considered the last battle because when they fail the Champions League chance is already closed for them.
Xabi Alonso has without doubt had a very good performance with his Bayer Leverkusen team this season and should be complimented for all the hard works that he's out in place for the club. However when it comes to tactical experience in coaching Jose Mourinho knows far better than he does so I don't think there's any ground to compare the two football managers.
Bayer Leverkusen who'll play the second leg of their semi-final second at home would definitely find it very difficult to break Roma's defense and I wouldn't be surprised to see Roma win away at Leverkusen tomorrow.
Right now experience and strategy both are favoring AS Roma because we all know he is experienced person and can change the tables into his favor specially while he is having match in UEFA and for the spot of final with Xabi Alonso is relatively new to this field but still both are doing amazing stuff with Bayer Leverkusen was in relegation zone but after having management in Alonso hands they are currently at sixth spot of Bundesliga league table which is amazing stuff and AS Roma which was surely looking for the better end of this season right now having sixth spot and chances they will be failed to achieve top four spots so now just Europa Cup is an only way for them with this is anybody game again with AS Roma is leading just because of advantage which they have due to win at home in first leg match.
903  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Government's actions against crypto on: May 17, 2023, 09:23:24 PM
since long ago state government and crypto they are both very difficult people to get along with. they are always in conflict because they have their own financial system. traditional banks with full support from the government, while crypto relies on people power as financial freedom that cannot be carried out by banks. I think even now they haven't had a solution to go hand in hand. instead the banks are taking blockchain and maybe they should get rid of crypto.
Well, this rivalry will continue for decades to come since central authorities wouldn't give up their throne and will keep fighting against cryptocurrencies so that they can stay on top of them, and people keep using their services for financial activities and they keep monitoring their activities to know how and where the money is being spent.

If they could, they would probably ban cryptocurrencies and halt their usage forever but since they know it's not possible, they will keep trying to regulate it and make it run the way they want it to otherwise they will impose closure of services, etc.
904  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is this situations connected to the altcoin seasons that can coming anytime? on: May 17, 2023, 08:46:47 PM
I have to check the fee on mempool and good news, the highest priority is now down to $0.98 and that means that we've got cheaper fees as of now. Hopefully that this is going to keep going and the fees will be stable at cents and everyone can enjoy again these transactions coming in and out from bitcoin. This is the pride of bitcoin that we're all having even if the price won't be a lot as expected by many but it shall come there soon and probably after the halving.

@op, the images that you've used aren't visible and I'm sure that you can see it as well. You might want to reupload that using talkimg.
People were too much concerned, some even started panicking seeing the fees soaring so high it was obvious that the issue will get solved soon, but to be honest, I didn't expect the transaction fees to become normal so quickly, though I knew it's temporary I was expecting the problem to take about a week or so before things start getting normal again.

This will obviously keep going since we all know that it barely happens with Bitcoin when the fees go this high, we have seen this happening with Ethereum more and the problem existed for way more time in the Ethereum network than this.
905  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: May 16, 2023, 08:53:51 PM
From the start, Arsenal, Manchester United and Juventus were the biggest favorites to win the Europa League this season, but the fact is now they (Arsenal and Manchester United) had to be eliminated first. Now only Juventus are left of the 3 teams I mentioned earlier. Now they are also under a very big threat after they could only draw in the first leg. AS Roma is now one step further to be in the final.
The three teams you mentioned here were the strongest teams in the Europa League and to be honest, I was thinking Manchester United is going to win the Europa League title until a few weeks ago but after the games I saw from these teams, I think even Juventus doesn't have much chance in this season and they are going to lose against Sevilla in the second leg.
I agreed about this, but mostly peoples understand this event is unpredictable, and any result can happen in any match so as things going right now we can't give perfect prediction who is going to win with Arsenal and Manchester United were surely best teams in early rounds but suddenly Sevilla emerged as new favorite with Juventus is also good squad but there on and off the field issues are creating problems for them which are not allowing them to win with now things surely looking in hand of Sevilla which outclass Manchester United at home.

But, we all know Juventus is best in defensive games, so they can bring any surprise with other semifinal is also not predictable because Roma and Leverkusen both are in fair position to go into final.
906  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Binance User on: May 16, 2023, 07:09:53 PM
Just giving you guys a hint especially the newbies Binance is changing previous deposit wallet addresses lately as part of the upgrading of the service security. They promised to always notify each user about the specific wallet address that's changed but they are not doing that lately. Please always check your deposit wallet on the exchange before making use of it.
I almost lost some USDT to the wallet upgrade today.
Just posting it here to safe someone from loosing their crypto
I'm also a Binance user and I always get notified when an address is expired or if it is about to get expired so that I can use the new address for deposits, so I don't think that they are not notifying their users, if you didn't receive an email notification from then it probably is because of a bug or something but they generally notify everyone about it.

And I think this is pretty old already and everyone have already come to know about it and there has already been posts here in the forum about it. You should first check your email and see you have probably received the notification and might have missed it somehow.
907  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Lets Brain storm on how to limit losses... on: May 16, 2023, 05:43:10 PM
Same thing happened to me too. My mistake was that I had put all my assets in one trade and was constantly watching every 5 minutes movements. I was only focusing on profits and were not giving any thoughts on loss or risk managements. So I didn't use stop loss on that trade either. And also before that I was comparing my analysis with signals, and they are the opposite to mine. So I did my analysis, and it was almost the same with the signal, so I had this thought in my mind that I should trade the opposite this time. I did, and I was making profits for some minutes and some % at that moment. Later on, it took a U turn and went the other way. So I was in loss. I thought to myself, in the beginning I was making profits, so it will be on the green again. But thinking that, I kept that trade open and in the end it got liquidated. I took an emotional decision out of fear and greed and in the end, not choosing the right time to close it made me regret that decision later on.
Most people lose money only because of greed, their trades might be in profit but they start thinking that they might get more profit if they wait, and that is a very big mistake because they start getting in loss once they start waiting and don't close their trades on time and take profit. Greed is our enemy but we don't realize it on time.

Yours happened in futures, and that happened with me in spot trading and in spot, if you don't sell on time, your money just gets stuck forever since once the price dips from your target and from where you've bought, you will then just keep waiting for it to recover back and that hardly happens.
908  Economy / Economics / Re: Money as a store of value... on: May 15, 2023, 06:09:34 PM
More precisely, basically Fiat money is a storage of value we know about it, but indeed the fiat money cannot maintain its value because the supply is always increasing which makes its value continue to decline, whether its use for saving the crisis or whatever is intended in the goal so that it print money In addition and then circulated, it will make the Fiat currency decrease in value because the supply of money is a lot, while the demand for money is only relatively stagnant that makes a currency decrease in value. Therefore, even though Fiat is a storage of values, but it is not effective in the long run because based on the situation above.

Gold, Bitcoin, Silver and others as a storage of values that are effective now also depending on the market demand, because most people already believe in gold or other noble minerals as a storage of values so that makes it worthy of a storage of value.
That is what it is. Even if it can store your wealth, a currency cannot be trusted for the long run considering there can always be different waves of economic crisis over the course of let's say 10 to 20 years, and when there is an economic crisis, there is inflation with it and we all know what happens with some currencies when there is inflation and more currencies being created in the background.

So it is basically useless to store your wealth in liquid or fiat currencies, instead, one should choose commidities and assets and store their wealth in those, just like Gold and real estate, Bitcoin is also good but has higher risks due to its volatility.

2.44 - 3.20 - 3.10

I don't even know... with all the magic of Sevilla, a 3.1 odds for Juventus or even a double chance for Juventus 1.53 looks attractive.
Sevilla is the favorite because they are playing at home but on the other hand for Juventus this is really very good from a betting point of view and I might be set aside to be there even though in this case Sevilla is also not an easy opponent but I am still confident enough for Juventus to Their second leg later.
Sevilla has always been known as having better experience in the Europa League. As Madrid is to the Champions League, that is how Sevilla is to the Europa League. But due to the fluctuating performance of Sevilla from the beginning of the Europa League, many people wrote them off including me. Because I placed Manchester United and Arsenal above Sevilla. Bit kow that they are back to their great form. They have great chances of winning their favourite trophy (europa cup)
Sevilla has one off the best history in Europa Cup and now again they are doing amazing performance after having one off the worst start into this season but now after beating Manchester United into quarter-final they are heading for the another title which is looking good but as we all know Juventus is completely different club from the Manchester United, and they also have better performance in last few matches as well, so things can go either way for this final game and both teams having equal chances for the last spot with Sevilla is having good home advantage which can help them for having better results but Juventus performance and Pogba factor can also play good role for this match as well.
910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: May 14, 2023, 09:01:10 PM
And by learning from other people's experiences, we at least know if we are approaching a situation similar to that person's situation so we can think of a way out. And we should also be able to prevent mistakes that can be detrimental to gambling so that we won't become addicted to gambling like other people. And even though there are gambling addicts around you, you will not follow his path because you have seen the impact on him, so you will try to prevent it from happening to you. You can play gambling responsibly because you don't want to become a gambling addict like them. After all, it will destroy your life.
Learning from others' mistakes or experiences is something not everyone can do. I've seen people making the exact same mistake that someone else did not very long ago and even though they knew about it, they still made the same mistake again. When it comes to gambling, it becomes even more difficult for some people to control the urge.

Having discipline in gambling is something very rare to be found, most people just start gambling and then they don't get a grip and continue it until they realize they have become addicted and that is only because they have gambled recklessly and spent a lot of time on it.
911  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Exchange Withdrawal Fee manipulation on: May 14, 2023, 06:18:30 AM
Binance is centralized and they can do whatever they like to their customers. There are other exchanges that you can use instead if you think the fee is too high.

I checked Kucoin, the withdrawal fee is 0.001 BTC which is $26.74
0.00042 BTC on OKX which is 11.2356. But there is lightning withdrawal also.
0.001 BTC on Huobi Global
0.0005 BTC fee on Bybit

I still prefer OKX to withdraw bitcoin. But exchanges have the history of using bitcoin withdrawal fee to make money from their customers.
Which exchange one would use is totally based on where they have their funds, if someone is having Bitcoins in Binance, they obviously can't use another exchange, and the only way to tackle such high fees is to simply wait for the situation to get normal and then make your transactions using Bitcoin since every platform is using this opportunity for their own benefit, especially the centralized ones.

We don't really get a say about how much an exchange or a platform should charge or why they are charging such high fees since they are the ones who are in total control of such things and they will obviously manipulate them and take profit.
912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: May 13, 2023, 07:01:11 PM
A red card at the end of the match is not as bad as in the first half. Girona were probably able to draw because Sociedad are almost guaranteed to remain in the Champions League zone. In La Liga this season, the top 4 clubs in the standings with a big gap to the other teams. Whether Girona can keep their place in the standings is questionable for me.
Sociedad are still very comfortable for their position because in this case they are 8 points further from Villarreal and 10 points from Betis which of course is a little difficult for these two teams to catch up with 5 matches remaining for Villarreal and Betis.

But even so this is not a reference for Sociedad to relax because of course other possibilities can still occur because in the remaining matches they have the names Barcelona, Atletico and Sevilla who are now in a state of improvement.
Real Sociedad start was amazing and things were looking in their control, but suddenly we have amazing reply from the Girona, and they also score two quick goals which give them level in this game which stays until end of this match and both teams share point now we are in 34th round which is creating good interest for few teams because right now lead is just eight points and now if Villarreal had won against Athletic then lead could be just five with in next round Barcelona is going to host Real Sociedad and Girona will host Villarreal mean things can go in either side way for the top four spots in last few matches. But Real Sociedad is surely having advantage for the staying at the top four because of Villarreal poor form in last few matches which bring them down and allowed Real Sociedad for having lead like this.
913  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN BULL MAY BE IN TROUBLE on: May 13, 2023, 03:44:03 PM
What an earth are you talking about? That doesn't have any information. "Price is movin up and down"? And you are basically saying that bitcoin bull may be in trouble or may not.
Everyone knows this. It's called market conditions. No one can predict them 100%. Only thing worth talking about here would be "environment and government rules", but this is not news, it's been processing for a LOONG time now.

This just sounds like you would like to scare people but don't have anything concrete to back it up with. I would say that we have best fundamentals since the start of the Bitcoin. People who are scared now would have never ever holded from 2015 or before that.
Government rules and environment have always been a part of Bitcoin's journey since its inception and when it started getting popular, governments started acting since they sensed a threat in Bitcoin for their traditional financial institutions that they use to keep an eye on the financial activities of their citizen and that has been going on for centuries.

And now things like these aren't surprising anymore and people don't take them as seriously as they used to before because everyone used to think Bitcoin will die if governments start opposing it but that's been proven irrelevant.
914  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Futures trading and spots trading explained briefly on: May 13, 2023, 06:53:55 AM
Going with futures is mainly a gamble so if you just want to gamble, go ahead and do it. There are traders that are good with it because they can win on this gamble with the strategies that they've got.

But newbies get to misunderstand this because it's not what they think that will make them rich. It's true that there have been newbies thinking that this is going to make them rich.

Not that they know of, it's not really the actual thing that they should only know. There's more with trading and not everyone that goes in the futures win.
People with no knowledge can assume anything and think of any outcome that might not be the actual reality. Some newbies when they haven't yet joined cryptocurrency trading or have no knowledge about it at all think they can get rich easily even with spot trading which might happen with only the luckiest people who invest in new tokens and grow a thousand folds like some meme coins.

Futures trading is all about risk if you are not experienced, it is just like Options trading where you predict an outcome and get money based on that and lose if your prediction is wrong, the only difference is that options are for short-term and future can be for a bit long term.
915  Economy / Speculation / Re: I have dream This Chart On https://tradingview.com, Is This Correct? on: May 12, 2023, 03:52:00 PM
It's not a bear market, it's a bear market. The market is in a bearish state. If you look at the chart you will see that the price of Bitcoin is at $19,000. This is a bear market.
It's not a bear market but it's a bear market? What does that supposed to mean? The current market isn't in a bearish state, we are actually in the middle. The price did well when the year started until 3 months, but then it stopped, started dropping a little bit and now it's a bit stable in the middle. If we see the monthly candles, the price isn't bad.

If it goes further down from this point, it might enter the bear market once again but if it manages to gain value again and more buying pressure builds up, we will be entering a bull market soon after that as it seems.
916  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bear And Bull Market? on: May 12, 2023, 09:14:05 AM
Well, I think the bull market is more profitable, because there are more buyers in it; but there are those bear markets where there is a lot of competition and in this way prices are falling and consumer demand is growing.
Both bear and bull markets support each other, and one is useless or has less importance without the other. When there is a bear market, you get the opportunity to make investments in relatively fewer amounts since the market is deep down in the reds and you can buy every single asset at a very cheap price, Bitcoin being the top one.

And when the bull market is back, you are in pure profit for the investments you've made in the bear market if you have chosen the correct cryptocurrencies and invested in the projects that had the potential to grow in value.
917  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I'm getting tired of the high fees for gwei on: May 11, 2023, 08:55:03 PM
The high fees of gwei in Ethereum transactions are due to the supply and demand dynamics of the network. When the network is congested, users need to pay higher fees to prioritize their transactions. The popularity of DeFi and NFTs has increased demand for Ethereum transactions, leading to higher fees.

Best not to do any transaction at the moment where transaction fee is so high so that you will not deal with huge transaction fee also the congested network which is happening these days. Better wait for the network became more smoother since this is the way you can find more convenience sending some funds on anywhere you want.

But for now its not ideal to send up something since maybe you might experience what other people experience where they don't have any choice but to pay higher fees just to make their transaction push thru.
Yes, if the amount that you will transact is only small but if it's high enough? I don't think you will be bothered by the rise in fees. Problems like this in Ethereum is not new anymore so many of us are used to this.

Many of us are not whining and not complaining anymore but we can just wait, transact or change cryptos. Until now, the creation of layer 2 coins are still there. It is said to help solve the problems in the Ethereum network so why not make use of this? It's only crazy to think that Bitcoin fees are also surging and I don't think it's because of ETH or the meme coins as they are not on the same line. Maybe someone is sabotaging it? But for what reasons?
918  Economy / Speculation / Re: Halving effects, how long they will last? on: May 11, 2023, 08:02:04 PM
The halving will occur in June 2024, as usual when a halving occurs there will usually be a high price increase, many speculators take advantage of the halving moment to buy at the beginning and sell when they feel they are getting a big profit, just like now if we don't buy now then we will regret.
The 740,000th block is expected to be mined in April 2024, so that is when the halving will occur and not June 2024. The price will surely be affected since we have seen that happening in the past and one of the main reasons for that is the hype obviously alongside the block reward reduction which slightly reduces the increasing circulating supply.

People tend to buy a lot of Bitcoins right before the halving since they think the price will explode right after it and that is one of the reasons why it gets pretty strong by that time due to the buying pressure and it then goes up in price.
919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 11, 2023, 11:44:01 AM

It really deserves appreciation for what everyone has done from the players, staff and coaches to continue to get good results even though there was a problem with the reduction of points. But now Juventus looks to be more ready to close the season with the position he got and of course to try to win the European league this season.
They really deserve it.
The success of Juventus to regain one of the top positions has increasingly become a trigger for their enthusiasm and motivation. moreover, they will soon be competing in the semi-finals of the European League against Sevilla. In this case, Juventus should have more motivation and confidence. And they have also ensured that they qualify for the next Champions League. This makes Juventus play better in every match. it's just that the question is, how consistent are they, will there be another decrease in performance or will it increase even better.
After few hours we have big game between Juventus vs Sevilla which is going to be had big impact on Juventus in this season after having too many issues but if they are able to win with better lead then surely we can expect good end of this season for them because right now this is only chance for them to have some mark for this season even Sevilla is not easy opponent specially after beating Manchester Untied, but Juventus is completely different team and their recent form is also on improvement which will help them for having better results.

After having 15 points their moral is high, and their performance is also better which is positive change for them and their performance in coming matches consistency is important because if they want to be in final of this Europa Cup which will bring good end for this season.
920  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Government's actions against crypto on: May 09, 2023, 07:43:00 PM
I just noticed that in the U.S. they are too proud of themselves. Because they want to control the cryptocurrency or Bitcoin since then, and this can't happen and they can't do it either.

       Just like the coinbase that they questioned, now because the coinbase is in the territory of the U.S. so this company has decided to move to a country that accepts the cryptocurrency unlike the U.S. which suppresses the cryptocurrencies in their country.
After China, it was the US government has been hard on crypto, and implementing strict rules will push the crypto business to transfer to another country. I'm not going to say that they must be friendly to crypto but at least they are fair enough in regards to implementing rules so everyone could also have a fair experience.

When a government sees crypto has no use for them, they will throw it and ban them. I won't say it was a threat to their finances but because users and holders never pay their taxes, their solution is to stop people from using this and urge them to set back and stay on fiat money.
Why not? You should say it is a threat to their financial institutions and to their finances as well since cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin mainly, are decentralized and can't be fully regulated or they simply can't have a control over transactions or financial activities or their citizens if they are using Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies.

Countries that puts an outright ban on cryptocurrency are clearly insecure of its usage and spread and finds it a direct threat, and countries that try to regulate its activity or restrict their citizens' usage and involvement with it are basically trying to hide that they find it threatening.
