921  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Exchange native tokens Vs Wallet native tokens on: April 15, 2024, 07:40:33 AM
I've been wondering about wallet tokens too.  They don't seem as popular as exchange tokens, but maybe that makes them a hidden opportunity. But 'm still unsure if I should invest in them.  What do you think their long-term potential is versus exchange tokens? What purpose do they really serve anyway?

Wallet tokens are not as popular as exchange tokens, except for trust wallet which is a popular wallet, the other wallet tokens seems to be relatively unknown, perhaps they're worth looking into and they can make impacts in this bull run. Among the exchange tokens BNB is undoubtedly the most popular and a top altcoin to invest in, but in the end it's left for the investors, whether it's exchange or wallet tokens, to carry out research first before investing their hard earned money.

Anybody wey know wetin de for Bitcoin matter go understand say wen di price de dip na dat time e de sweet pass to de accumulate more, so di dipper di price di better to de buy more, if you get di money. You de correct to reason say some investors wey no get surficient knowledge fit liken Bitcoin to dos scam projects wey be say if dem begin to de dip, no hope for dem to pump again, but Bitcoin don proof im reputation over di years say even if im price dip eventually e go pump again and e go de hit new ATH for every bull run, dat na why e de important to de hodl on long term basis.
923  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is LTC dead? on: April 14, 2024, 05:52:36 PM
It doesn't mean that when a certain coin is not being talked about, it's dead already but it's more like not relevant to the current trend or narrative that we have on the market. It's always about the narrative when it comes to being talked about.

You would consider it dead if there's no volume and no one is trading it anymore. It's not the case with LTC.
I wouldn't consider Litecoin, dead too, because it still has volume and people are still trading it, the issue is that it's just not trending right now, we have a lot of projects that are in the limelight in this road to bull run. Remember that sometime last year the same question was being asked about Solana, some where even speculating whether it's dead, but fast forward to now, it's the most talked about altcoin in the crypto space, so I believe that Litecoin dev. team can become innovative and restore it's lost glory. Litecoin, remains a top altcoin, as far as I'm concerned.
924  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Gold vs bitcoin in a WWIII scenario on: April 14, 2024, 03:49:35 PM
Some people talk about ww3 like it's something to look forward to, and they make financial predictions about post ww3, but they fail to realize that if it happens, their money in the bank and their crypto wallet will be the least of their worries. Like Pooya87, rightly noted, a bag of potatoes that is stored in a secured location and may I also add clean water will become more valuable than all your financial assets. The OP sounded positive about ww3 happening, I'll let him know that if it happens WW1 and WW2 will be nothing near it's devastation, technological advancements have made it possible for warfares to annihilate almost all living things, the few people that'll remain will turn to savages that'll be fighting over food to survive, not billions in the bank or Blockchain, so be careful what you wish for
925  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think Bitcoin can end poverty? In a nation today on: April 14, 2024, 01:34:00 PM
Bitcoin can better the lives of people in any country because it's a store of value and one of the best investments that anybody can go into, you don't have to be rich to become a Bitcoin investor, you can adopt the DCA method and increase your hodl. If held on the long term, it's returns on investment will keep increasing and make the holder very rich, so in this regard Bitcoin can end poverty for an individual, increase net worth of a company and increase the reserves of a country.

However Bitcoin can not eradicate poverty for an unemployed person who has no money to invest in it, you'd have to buy it with money and hodl until it's price increases before it can be profitable, also a person without a steady source of income might be tempted to sale prematurely when it's not profitable to do so. The advantage of Bitcoin compared to other forms of investments is that a low income earner can start with a small amount and accumulate till they'll become rich.
926  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is not a lifetime job. on: April 14, 2024, 12:39:08 PM
Everybody I become more convinced that crypto trading should not be fully relied on as a sole source of income, because of the elements of gambling in it, because despite all your experience, loses are inevitable. I always tell young people who are jobless that hears hypes about how crypto trading can make you very rich, I tell them that it's true, but that it's hard and risky, also not a job for jobless people. I agree that trading shouldn't be a lifetime job, because there are chances that you can end up with nothing after all the years of money and brain drain, it's better to be a trader with other sources of income and let it be an alternative source.
927  Other / Politics & Society / Re: I disagree that each person has the right to choose their own path in life. on: April 14, 2024, 10:09:17 AM
Everybody has the rights to choose their career parts in this modern age, nobody should be caged into forcefully choosing the parts that their parents chose for them, because if you fail in a career or skill that is forced on you, then you'll always have the excuse to blame your parents or who forced you. It's mainly wealthy people that wants their children to carry on the legacy of their businesses or talents, maybe a career that they love but couldn't attain, that imposes their perfectly planned Will on their children, not minding if the child naturally has a passion for that career part.

The fact is that some children that have different dreams and aspirations will compromise their choice career, just to please their parents, some will turn out successful while others will be disastrous, so in the end it'll depend on every individual to make something of whatever career that they end up in, whether it's their choice or they find themselves in it for different reasons
928  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What could be the reason.. on: April 14, 2024, 07:55:45 AM
Remember that in the early days of Bitcoin, almost everybody and countries were skeptical about it, but today more people are adopting it, including some countries. I know that in the future more people and countries will realize that Bitcoin is a store of value and it's advantages greatly surpasses any disadvantages that they harbor about it. My country's central bank banned our banks from facilitating any crypto transactions, but last year a new administration took over power and the ban was lifted, and that is a plus in the adoption of Bitcoin in my country, so I'm hopeful that there'll be a new paradigm shift in these countries and they'll join the rest of the countries in the world that have seen the benefits of Bitcoin to their nations and citizens.
929  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bull Run - Gambling - New Coins on: April 14, 2024, 07:03:09 AM
I don't get into presales at all because I don't need to lol. I just buy coins in the open markets; and if I want to be early on a project, I just try to farm the airdrop(if it looks like they will do an airdrop) using the Paldo.io database.

As for portfolio allocation, there's really no solid rule for this. If you're bullish on the project, go bigger. If not, then go smaller. Simple as that.
Many investors are not into presales, they'll rather buy after a launch, probably because of some presale scams, you never really knows how the token will fare when it's eventually launched. Obviously most of them prefer to buy after the launch, perhaps be among the early investors or wait till it pumps then dump before they buy, like you said there's no rule book to determine how you buy, if you're bullish on a project, then go in big, if not then invest the amount that you can afford to loose. New projects are a gamble, so do your research and make your decision.

I de glad say our naira don de regain some strength if you pair am with dollar, and I hear say most of our foreign made goods don de reduce for price, based on di gradual increase on di value of naira. But my biggest worry be say every locally manufactured goods, especially consumables like bread, drinks and even farm products wey no need any refining, still de increase in price reach now wey I de type dis comment. My wife de complain bitterly say dis week, food stuff still de add money evendo say naira don de gain value, di matter just tire us. I no see any major reason why locally produced items go still de add money for market, because since last month reach now, I no see wetin fit to warrant dis constant price increments for none imported goods, na only God, go help di common man for dis country.
931  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 100% percent scam airdrop don't get involved. on: April 13, 2024, 03:22:20 PM
Hahaha  Cheesy Can't wait to tell my freind how much of a time waste he has put in just to get enough referral, he went in like his life depends on it, fucking free money, it's very difficult to get a real Airdrop that pays now. We just need to be careful and avoid unnecessary wallet linking to any site or totally abstain from them, as I see no benefits from indulging in them.
A lot of scam projects will ask you to get referrals to increase so they'll increase their victims, this is why I'm very skeptical about referrals, even when they're shared by trusted people, because in most cases they don't even know that they're ignorantly sharing a scam. I'm also skeptical about anything that promises free rewards, because there's no free money anywhere, reason being that the person sharing must have family, friends and dependants who needs money.

I thank the OP for sharing and enlightening us about this project, scammers can come through legit means to gain the trust of their victims, after which they'll unfold their fraudulent intentions. We must always verify the authenticity of any link before clicking, so we're not directed to phishing sites and be scammed.
932  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin halving countdown on: April 13, 2024, 01:47:50 PM
I'm really excited about counting down to halving, because it'll be my first time experience, and I've been hearing a lot of pro and post halving price predictions, it's really fascinating. From my research I understand that after supply is cut in half, which will create scarcity, demand will become greater than supply, and eventually that is when the real bull run will start. I believe that because of the Bitcoin ETF which made it possible to see a new ATH before halving, that we're going to experience a massive bull run in this season, and every investor will likewise reap massive ROI.
933  Economy / Economics / Re: Better Money: Gold, Fiat, Or Bitcoin? on: April 13, 2024, 12:49:48 PM
I don't think that there should be a better money among fiat, gold and Bitcoin, because they're all functioning independently and giving value to their holders in different ways, although each of them can be used as an alternative or as an exchange to the other. Bitcoin can not function efficiently as fiat because it's core usage is as investment, while fiat can not be stored as an investment because it's affected by inflation, while we can't carry physical gold around to make payments with it, because it's also a store of value like Bitcoin. However among the three Bitcoin, has more advantage because we can use it to pay for commodities and also hodl it as an investment.
934  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Arizona Supreme Court rules state can use 1864 law to ban nearly ALL abortions on: April 13, 2024, 11:31:10 AM
I personally don't support abortion because I see it as terminating the life of an innocent being, because it's the right of every unborn child to be born, so couples should be responsible for their actions, if they must have unprotected sex then let them face the consequences.

Where I'll make exceptions and support abortion is in the case of rape, incest or to save the life of a mother if abortion is an option, other than these reasons, abortion remains an immoral act, as far as I'm concerned. People in the US are politicizing this matter in Arizona, probably because of the coming election, but the fact is that abortion is wrong, except for the reasons that are mentioned above, Arizona state should understand this..

a question for you:
what is your opinion on decisions of elderly/disabled relatives on medical life support with no consciousness?
should families never have the choice in removing the life support?
A family member that is in life support or has a medical condition where they're suffering excruciating pains between life and death, I think that the family members should be strong and see the patient through their last moment, I can only imagine the pains that the family members will be in, but they can sincerely wish the person to die and have peace, than taking an innocent life. Frankly talk is cheap and I don't know if I can sincerely watch my loved one to continue to suffer when it has been proven that there's 99.9% chances of not surviving, I don't wish to be in such a situation to make that kind of decision.

Although considering to end the life of a person that is in a critical life and death situation is different from ending a life that is developing in their mother's womb, and there's no complications to warrant ending it or in simple term "aborting it" to save the mother's life, the motives are different, one is to end suffering and the other is to be free of responsibilities. If a woman will have a consensual sex with her partner without protection, then it's only fair that they should accept the responsibilities of their choice.
935  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does trading belongs to everyone? on: April 13, 2024, 09:17:08 AM
Scams aside, and yes trading can be 'learned' and all that, but to put it simply — trading is not for everyone, just like how dentistry, being a doctor, engineering, etc, is not for everyone. It will simply be for whoever is genuinely interested in it to actually continue learning it for long periods of time.
One man's food is another man's poison, meaning that our likes, passions and what makes us happy are different as individuals, therefore crypto trading is not for everyone. Some might think that it's for them, maybe due to it's hype on social media and they'll think that it's easy, sit in their houses and be making easy money everyday, then they rush and enter, the opposite begins to happen, they lose all their money because of lack of experience. They learn the hard way that trading requires diligently learning the skills to minimize loses, in the end it'll be only those that trading is for them that'll remain, the others will move on to investment that requires lesser skills, or even leave the crypto space entirely.

When you see a finished product, you wouldn't know that there had been trials and errors before perfection is attained, so I believe that our ranked up and experienced members were once newbies who didn't have knowledge about Bitcoin, but today they can teach and impact their knowledge to newbies that are willing to learn. My advice to newbies is that they should learn to accept criticism, from experienced members, take the ones that they think will be beneficial to them, then ignore the rest, no need to start an argument, just move on. This forum has been a tremendous blessings to me because I've greatly increased my crypto knowledge, political, social and economic, all these I've gained for free, plus I'm being rewarded in signature campaign.
938  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Solana might be next leading, after Ether & bnb. on: April 13, 2024, 05:59:41 AM
Man, what do you mean by "might be next leading" and "going to lead"? Solana has been leading for a good while now! Also, take note that SOL is up like what? 500% in a single year? I know there's still room to grow but why are we talking about the Solana ecosystem as if it's underperforming lol.
I can't agree less, Solana, is the most talked about altcoin now in the crypto space, and it's not surprising why this is so, their innovative dev. team are adding a lot of promising projects in their network which is making them to be more popular, and I'm hopeful that Solana, will reach an enviable ATH in this bull run.  Solana, was written off, but it bounced back and is now everybody's favorite, goes to show that failure is a bastard but success is everybody's buddy. I wouldn't write off Ethereum and BNB, these two are still top altcoins anyday.
939  Economy / Speculation / Re: At what price will you bitcoin holders sell if we have a major price spike? on: April 12, 2024, 05:39:08 PM
Predictions on the price to sale in this bull run keeps changing, in the last quarter of last year leading to the Bitcoin ETF, it was to sale at $100k, but after the ETF happened and a new ATH was seen before halving, the optimism hit the roof and I'm hearing between $150k to $200k. I think that we might see $100k or slightly above this year, and it'll still be early, so if I want to sale I'll do so when I see price reach $150k and above, I'm quite positive that it can happen within 2025. So I'll just keep the faith and keep hodling till it reaches the estimated target before selling.
940  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is your strategy to win in this bull run? on: April 12, 2024, 03:45:34 PM
If you want to secure your assets for 2025 I think keeping them in BTC is the best choice because after the ETF approval I think BTC will enter a new phase and the price will continue to rise after the halving. For Altcoins I think currently most of them are performing well. Some new altcoins have huge potential to generate returns. But of course new projects have risks because we don't know their reputation yet. I don't know about the derivatives market because I haven't tried it but I think it is a good option to maximize your profits. By the way where do you trade derivatives? I still don't have an account to trade derivatives.
Bitcoin is definitely the best strategy to maximize profit in this bull run, after the ETF approval it has further proven that it's the surest crypto to put money in without any fear of sinking your funds, and the strategy to achieve this is to continue my DCA method, probably to take a pause only when price exceeds $150k, in the bull run, which is very feasible. As for altcoins, I'm banking on Solana, to fly to the moon and reach an enviable ATH in this bull run, but despite our predictions it's only the market that'll determine actual price at anytime,
