941  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC 100K FOR 2024 ! on: June 28, 2023, 09:58:14 AM
Immediately it is a new ATH I am taking profits straight up
If you planned on taking a profit at the new ATH you should have a good exit strategy to take your profit, implying this kind of strategy below would save you from taking a profit way too soon than supposed, I know how the feelings use to be when you exit the market early, and in some occasions, the market moves up like 2x from your point of exit, I suggest you should try this method while the market has not changed direction, 1st take 25%, 2nd 30%, 3rd 50%, 4th 70% and finally 100% 0f your portfolio.
That is a nice idea!
Purely a DCA way of selling. Just the reverse of buying in percentages too. I appreciate your advice. This method will make me not to regret much even if the market keeps moving upwards after attaining a new ATH.
Also, if after attaining a new ATH and bitcoin price begins to drop, it will not also affect me much since I am selling in percentages.

65K Last year record price ever !

I think this year it might be full 100K Final bullrun for the coin.

This year? I don't think so, How did you say that? Bitcoin halving hasn't happened yet and it's still next year after this halving the bull run will start. What would be the reason for Bitcoin to be 100k$ as you say this?

It's not that I don't want Bitcoin to be 100k$, but of course, we have to be realistic, not like we're fooling ourselves. Of course, that's the real situation. That's okay for long-term investors who can wait to reach the 100k$ but not this year. Not for doubting but of course the market because we know that it is very unpredictable.
This information is for people looking forward for 100k for bitcoin. I am not interested in bitcoin 100k because it will still fail. Bitcoin 100k is what the whales and sharks of the market used to keep us in the market during the bull run so that they will still crash the price on us.
Immediately it is a new ATH I am taking profits straightup
943  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC price hitting 30k twice this year. on: June 23, 2023, 07:51:47 AM
What are your thoughts on this spontaneous rise again in the price of BTC hitting 30k twice just within the first quarter of 2023. Do you you think it's going to plummet again or do better above 40k? Or is just one of a tempting rise to fall again even below the 25k-26k it did for the past weeks after hitting 30-31k around the month of April?
Please share your thoughts about this.

This time is different, as people like to say Cheesy
IMO the price was always at 30k, but there's a difference between real value and spot price. Spot price is determined by trades on the biggest exchanges and 2 of them got sued by the SEC, which was a move to drag the price down and allow institutions to buy from you. They also wanted to introduce their own government backed exchange and force Binance out of the US, which worked.

The price is now returning to its former level that was achieved naturally in q1 of this year. The drop was driven by the US government and if you panicked and sold to them, that's your loss.

I think that we will continue to go up, especially when the blackrock ETF gets approved.
What do you mean in the whole post. I don't think I really understand you well. Are you in anyway saying that the exchanges prevent the bitcoin price rise or they in a way influence it with the spot price. This therefore means that if there are no exchanges, the market movers will trade bitcoin directly against ordinary users to give the true value of bitcoin?

Online also implies a lot of stress, if we are talking about trading, then you will not be able to avoid this, but this is not only about trading, there are many projects that you need to complete within certain deadlines and this will put pressure on you, so advantages and there are disadvantages in all cases, you need to choose those in which you feel more comfortable.
I quite understand you on this, there is not type of work that is as easy as reciting A,B,CD... There is some level of commitment and stress which obviously differs but more of the pressure is offline.
As you have noted that it also depends on your working relationship with your boss. But then there are also other types of stresses which can be,
1. Transportation to and fro working with the risk associated with it.
2. Distraction at work place by colleagues
3. To task of always dressing corporately even against your desire.
Working from home settles all these and also avoid noise pollution for those working in construction companies and marker place.
945  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Earning online more preferable than offline? on: June 22, 2023, 10:18:55 AM
Earning money online is far superior to working at a physical establishment during the day. Although offline is highly appreciated and difficult. Trading is a great approach to find your true self. It will put everything to the test, including your greed, emotions, patience, discipline, how you handle failure, control, common sense, and resolve. I strongly advise anyone who is going through a terrible time in their life to learn to trade since it provides them a clear sense of purpose other than waiting for jobs. So, which is better, online or offline?
I cannot say that trading online is way more profitable than an offline job especially for those who are only trading with limited knowledge and skills. But if we can keep our job and do trading as our side hustle, I guess we will come to maximize our income. There’s no need to chose actually as both are profitable if we do it to the best of our capabilities, but working on them both will certainly make our life create big changes especially when it comes to our finances.
I think Op just used trading as an instance. There are many more ways to earn online rather than trading.
I appreciate online earning more than offline earnings. I have earned both online and offline. I started earning offline big before online but I tell you that the;
1. Stress
2. Commitment
3. Risk
Involved in offline earning is much. Since I started earning online, I have liberty to do whatever I like and to travel unlike offline earning that held me close to my shop.
But if anyone can find a balance for both and handle both, it will be so perfect.
946  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are the Whales Control bitcoin price? on: June 22, 2023, 09:40:24 AM
we all know no one can controls the bitcoin price because bitcoin isn't like bank, stock and valas. but if the whales owned 51% of bitcoin, can do it?. if happen, does decentralization not exist?
Whales have the power to manipulate the prices of coins and this is more evident in altcoins that has lower price and low market cap. Bitcoin is not very easy to manipulate this team, you are definitely gonna risk so many resources which may turn bad for you.
Talking about if whales own 51% of bitcoin whether it will affect decentralization. The 50% attack is not about the number of bitcoin owned but the computational power. So, nothing will happen to decentralization because bitcoin network is based on PoW and not PoS.

It's a good combination with merits,posts and activity and rarely seen so good you have achieved it but as have already said that we should follow the rules mentioned in OP which states the image height adjusted to 200 so edit the post with that size so it fits to the thread rules as it's easy to fit them on front wall if your record is chosen with next update.
Thanks for remindal, I have fixed the image to 200 height, I didn't know it's part of the rule, I am honestly not that kind of person that doesn't respect rules.

Surround yourself with people who criticize you. You will learn most from them. They will always push you with their negativity. Don't avoid people who always find a way to criticize you, they are kind of free bug testers working for you.
One is not always motivated through criticism. At times we do not need to be criticized to do more. We just need a simple couragement. Be it constructive or destructive criticism, everything has its time when it is time for you to be praised or encouraged you need the encouragement or praises and when it is time to be criticized you need the criticism. Constant and continuous criticism will however infusion in you some antagonistic spirit and will make you to achieve your goals in a more desperate away.

Not good to get always criticized since it cam drain out our energy since we would think about that we don't do any good on the careers we do. But you should also seek the reason why people criticize you since from this maybe you will get an idea about what are the things you need to fix and enhance so that you can do more better then next time you would earn praises  coming from your colleague's. We need to work more to enhance our knowledge on something we are interested to broad up our knowledge and that can help us gain more profit in future.

It should be a sort of balanced thing. You get criticized when necessary and you get praised when necessary. These two will form a moving force that will propel you to greatness. If you are always being praised, it will also give a sense of wrong judgement and will not motivate you to do your best.  You will definitely think you are the best and therefore you have arrived.
That can also be said for criticism. When you are overly and unduly critisized, you will tend to lose your confidence and self esteem.

So there are now many good records on this thread so maybe update is waiting till them keep finding these one's.
Many good records are seen here but this time I don't think anyone can have this type of record and I think until my days in BTT, I may never have this type of record again.
3x of 6
3x of 5
5x of 1
For can produce any combination of number as in 55, 66, 11, etc
951  Other / Meta / Re: Another birthday - how about an octogenarian club here? on: June 21, 2023, 10:40:18 AM
Well I've hit another birthday, and it's lonely in the old fogie team. I'm thinking of starting an octogenarian group here, but I don't know of any other potential members. Why don't you guys recruit some of the elders you know? Maybe I should invite Biden. Smiley
Happy birthday to you with great respect 🙏 I had seen this post few days ago and scrolled pass because I thought it was a mere birthday celebration. But going through the thread again I saw that Theymos posted on the thread, I was forced to revisit Op. This time around I had to use the dictionary for the meaning of "Octogenarian ". Please someone shouldn't laugh at me, English is not my first language.
On seeing the meaning of the word, I had to pay great respect to you in the style of my culture. A way of bowing the head for an elder.
I am in my early 30, if I have to wish, first is to be alive till my 80s, then another which is very impossible is to remain in BTT by then.

As a result, always think about what you write about; sometimes innocent stupidity can lead to serious consequences. Grin
This part of your post got me laughing so hard Grin Grin Grin
I think Op might be regretting wherever they are now for bringing up an unnecessary topic. Now he needs to prove that he is himself and what if he is unable to sign any message?
I always tell people that they shouldn't create a topic when it is obviously not necessary.
953  Economy / Exchanges / Re: When scammers lacks crypto updates on: June 20, 2023, 10:06:21 AM

It's good to always stay informed about what's happening around crypto lately, get a crypto news app on your phone or subscribe to crypto news feeds online to stay informed, this person was busted because she knew nothing that's presently happening with the exchange company she claimed she is working for.  
Binance problems with sec is not general neither is it global. It is just within the United States and besides some employers do not disclose the challenges of the company it legal or otherwise to their employees. But in your case your chat mate is a scammer.

Then saying that someone should install crypto apps in order to stay updated with information in the cryptocurrency world is not necessary. This kind of apps end up creating FUD in the industry and you panic and lose your funds. I did not subscribe to this news channels neither do I even send them.

If I have important information to know I would create a thread here and I will get the answer needed. Besides I don't think that bitcoin is ending today and there is no FUD against bitcoin and I am a long-time investor who is not interested in day-to-day price. Do I need to poke my nose in those kind of news about the government and Binance and Coinbase?
954  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Will bitcoin influence the next U.S election? on: June 20, 2023, 09:47:58 AM
I know DeSantis & Robert F Kennedy Jr are running but I think it’ll end up being Biden vs Trump. Neither of the last two mentioned guys are bitcoin friendly sadly. I’d love for it to be one of the first two guys mentioned as they’re very pro bitcoin but I think we’ll be disappointed expecting one of them to be the next President.
The first former guys are good to be in the fight to the White House but I wonder why the name Trump has become a movement in the minds of Americans and majority of Americans are aligning with him.
But then Trump feels like there are alot of issues to be treated in American than bitcoin
955  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Equal society is possible.... on: June 20, 2023, 08:00:54 AM
My views on equal society
Who will serve as the leader and servant to the other if humans are created to be equal to other creatures? because there will be a level of equality among them that will prevent the other from following the advice of others. This is intended to be the situation. each of them would end up making the decision, and no one is agreeing with the other. That will be a significant issue because none of them has the last say in any particular issue or circumstance. That will inadvertently lead to a significant issue in a society where equality is practiced.

To avoid such a scenario not taking effect, let every individual focus on and work on their own goals and not be envied by others because all fingers can never be the same.
There has never been a fairly balanced situation. Even in the holy scriptures there were alot of politicking. Take the story of Esua and Jacob into account and you will realised how biased the whole scenario was.
In the government there are alot of conspiracies and even in our families, even as the parents may claim that they love all their children equally. It is never like that, there must exist this special child among others.
In the religious sector, there are alot of sentiments and that is how it will be until you work your way to the elites group.

Some of the results that happened in this weekend qualifiers match was not expected by me.
Gambia 3 : 0 Ivory Coast
I was wondering when the Ivory Coast of Didia Drogba that used to be the night mare of Nigeria become so weak.
Ghana could not win also and same thing has nearly happened to Nigeria if not for the miracle last minute goal.
957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 19, 2023, 09:05:30 AM
So Ancellotti will go to Brazil and he will probably end his coaching career with a national team.
Who will be the next Real Madrid coach?

Nagelsmann or Zidane again?
Ancellotti will take over as coach of the Brazil national team at the end of this season with Real Madrid, so Real Madrid need a new manager. In that case, who can be the new manager of Real Madrid next season? In this case, Zinedine Zidane, the former coach of Real Madrid, will be the most forward. Because Zinedine Zidane was offered a contract from PSG but he did not agree to that contract with PSG, maybe he had a secret meeting with Real Madrid that Ancellotti could re-sign Zidane to Real Madrid after his departure from Brazil. If such a plan is made then Real Madrid is going to get another experienced manager.
But why will Zidane always be coaching Real Madrid and resigning and returning. If I am not wrong if this happens it should be the 3rd time of coaching Real Madrid.
I also do not understand why successful coaches in Real Madrid doesn't stay their for long, is it the type of agreement they signed or what?
Meanwhile, I have also read that Zidane is interested in French national team job, how is the development? Is he getting closer to it?
Is Ancelotti deal with Brazil a confirmed one or a rumour?
958  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you find it offensive to be referred to as an addicted gambler? on: June 19, 2023, 08:49:21 AM
Many people find it difficult to accept who they are and the bad habits that they have, accepting a habit is the first step that will determine if any help offered to you will work. As a gambler, will you find it offensive if you are referred to as a gambling addict? will you easily accept it or try to give excuses like some other people do, saying that they are not addicted to gambling when the signs are clearly there. Do you think identifying as an addicted gambler will make people stereotype you. The answer is different for every gambler here.
There are different types or levels of addiction.
It is only someone who is sick and admits that he is sick that will go to doctor in search for good health.
But someone who is sick, but refuses to admit that he is sick can never go to doctor to seek medical attention.

That same way is what happens in addiction. Someone who is addicted and admits that he is addicted can simply look for therapy or advice in order to escape addiction.

But on the other hand, someone who is addicted but yet does not agree or does not know that he is addicted will definitely die in addiction because of ignorance or arrogance to admit that they are addicted. But in general, addiction is not something someone will glory in. Nobody goes around shouting that they are addicted to gambling, smoking, drinking, and dragging.
959  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto exchanges on: June 19, 2023, 08:31:32 AM
When it comes to P2P trading and holding of cryptocurrencies, Binance is the most effective exchange.
Binance is not a p2p exchange, you cannot trade with a peer without Binance acting as a middle man in the trade, it is from peer to Binance and from Binance to the other peer. In real p2p exchanges like Bisq, you trade directly with the other peer. Take note too that Binance is not for holding crypto, do not join those who think the exchange is too big to fail, if you trade on Binance, move your funds to your self custody wallet once you are done.
In the context of centralized exchange, Binance does p2p and it is fine. They are centralized and their own pattern of p2p must also have a central mediator to avoid cheating and abuse. Even in the context of the real escrow that Satoshi mentioned in the whitepaper, even Bisq altered it.
Everyone should do what works for them and bear the consequences. You cannot tell a big day trader that trades with the volume of 50k to 100k to be moving their funds everyday after trading. Everything is risk and reputable exchanges does fail that way with a public alert in the name of FUD.
Indeed, Binance operates as an intermediary, a centralized entity with safety mechanisms. But, this model is valuable due to its regulatory oversight to prevent fraud

Challenging Binance' P2P trading validity? Brave. You've bypassed the benefit of Binance' protective role! Self-custody wallets serve a purpose, but arent they unsuitable for heavy traders considering time and associated fees? We're talking about real trading, not an ideal world sans intermediaries. Yes, "all is risk," but isnt risk mitigation also crucial?
Yea, we are talking about trading and not an ideal escrow system. In whichever situation, mitigate is necessary. But then Z-tight was expecting Binance to adopt the kind of p2p that Bisq does without a third party by using 2-2 segwit and their DOA system. Bisq has no comparison with Binance because both works in a totally opposite way.
My submission is that the p2p that Binance uses, works for now and it's fine because they cannot be like Bisq
