We must have insurance. Danger can come anytime, this insurance can help us when we fall into a big problem. I think what we need the most is health insurance. We should definitely take this insurance. If your income is high then you must have insurance. This will save you from major problems.
Insurance is protection.

Protection to our assets, to the things and possessions that we've worked hard. And that's why if you love your family, you're going to get insurance and no matter how wealthy you are, if you think that it's worth it to have it, definitely you'll get one, two or more insurance policies.

Whilst for the poor and don't have that much wealth, this is the best protection that they can have. Many treats it as an investment and some people still get the wrong idea about insurances. We all will die someday and it's up to you on what legacy you'll leave your family.

For most people, they can't afford to buy any type of insurance, reason being, they can't even put food on their table. This is why it is understandable that some people are hesitant to get one because of financial constraints. Whereas, those few who can really afford just like the OP's story have their qualms to get insurance because they are too confident, they don't need one. Well, some people don't want to foresee worst possible scenarios that may come because they feel it won't happen to them.
That's true and it's a real situation that's being dealt by many. It's easier to work for the food that we shall put in the table than to buy an insurance.

This varies to the situation of living and I think poorest of the poor, can't really avail these insurances. But if you're a working person and a family guy, at least allocate to the best that you can for your income's protection and assets too.

We don't want to foresee what may happen in the future but it's the reality that everyone has to go through.

Sometimes anyone can be like that.

You have no enthusiam over gambling because you seem to be tired or being affected by outside world matters. It's okay, we're all humans and we go through some certain process that losses our interest temporarily in gambling.

But the thing there is still you gamble and out of nowhere, that kind of bet makes you win. I guess that's the main strategy that everyone has to learn as the casino might feel you not wanting to win and they give you a win.  Tongue

Holding, most of the time.

Especially when the surge is almost everywhere, you just have to pick what you have to pick on this market and you need to sit and tighten your belt before the market leaves you
I don't want to take chances in trading, if I want to add some of my balances because I have to take time checking it from time to time. I'll just use my money and simply gonna buy that in addition to my portfolio.
For me, I’ll say investing and hodling too. Although trading this time would still make you profitable, but if you want to maximize your returns, don’t just trade but accumulating more bitcoin through DCA will give you the biggest opportunity to be massively profitable when bull run comes. Invest while the price has not reached its peak yet, because once an all time high will be achieved, it would be the perfect time to sell already, not the best time to invest.
It's still profitable to trade but if you compare the efforts that you commit with trading and holding, it's obviously more profitable and effortless with investing and holding.

Holding, most of the time.

the best option is to hold back. However, holding is almost the same as investing. Meanwhile, trading can be said to be about seeking profits in a short period of time.
Personally, I also tend to hold rather than trade whenever I make a profit. I prefer to target profits in the long term. It's just that holding or investing will only be better if we choose popular coins, especially bitcoin or popular altcoins.
Holding is actually investing.

On these times when the market is on a bull run, every trader is profitable I guess and whatever the season is they make money. While for investors, we're all seasonal and we prepare for these bull runs during the bear markets. That's the difference that we do, we save for the rainy days.
986  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Market Correction on: March 05, 2024, 08:04:17 PM
If you panic, you lose.

But if you stay calm and you have it planned and don't have to be hysterical, you're in good hands. You know the diamond hands are for real on this situation of the market.
Right but most of people's carried losses only to panic sell if when see market is going down and can't control their mind but also it's true that very hard to stay calm to keep holding a coin for long time, is someone had extra money who can keep it invest in long term but not possible to everyone.
Just like now, there's a flash crash. People again showed their true nature as if the market didn't came from $50kish level for Bitcoin and now from ATH of $69k, down to $61k. Still in a panic? don't be!

While the thread was made on December 2023 where there have been some corrections too, this is still applicable today as there are some corrections happening too.

The corrections we have seen in recent days are way lower than the pumps that we are witnessing in the market. Bitcoin has already touched $69k which wasn't expected at all despite some people predicting that it will hit a new all-time high before the halving but we were not expecting that to happen this soon. We are still a month or more away from the halving event, what else can we expect from the market? $70k?
Such corrections shouldn't make anyone panic because the price of Bitcoin dropping $2k from its value is then gaining more than $5k which should make people gain more confidence.
The correction has came and that's a normal thing and expected moment to come. So that's like a correction of $7k-$8k after hitting the peak again.

They are one of the best and has got a lot of rings and props to them with that. But the time isn't going in the past, we're moving on and there are new champions coming in that are showing that they're stronger.

Like the Nuggets.

But I know that if some massage on their roster, I think that they'd be able to get that momentum again like what they used to have before.
I would also include the Boston Celtics along with the Nuggets...
In recent years Boston  had an absurd evolution, I'm impressed how Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and other players have evolved (I would even include
Marcus Smart on this list, but he left the Celtics). Basically, these and other players were polished diamonds and are currently ready to be NBA champions.
Yeah, no doubt with the Celtics.

They're always included in the playoffs and also semis. Can be said that one of the strongest teams and most consistent at all together with the Miami heat.

Talking about the Warriors, I believe that the team needs to make a big change for them to be NBA champions again, I believe that the level of Thompson and Green has dropped drastically, and Curry alone cannot carry the team on his back.
They're older this time and they're no longer the same as before and that's why there's a need to revamp their roster.

It is something that you really don’t need to panic or you have to do is to stay calm.
I agree.

Update:

I got the job and It's a lot better than my last one! I'm going to have to learn a lot but my coworkers are great and they're very willing to show me the ropes.

Finding a good job took a long time, and I had to be willing to drive far but I got really lucky with this one. After a few months I'll have a regular schedule with 5 consecutive 8 hour days, overtime if I sign up for it but generally no need to stay past quitting time or come in early.

Coming from a very long time in a job with random scheduling and my days off not being consecutive this is huge for me. And the pay is decent too!


Congratulations!

That seems to be a dream job for everybody and hopefully that work-life balance will be there based on how you have told the descriptions.

The reason I didn't update for so long is because the process is really long to get in!
That's okay, there's more to life outside the forum and good luck with your new job.  Smiley

There really are times that teams and players don't perform as what we're expected. I still remember those years when GSW after being the champs, they've became slumps during the next years.
Apparently the Warriors dynasty isn't forever...
I'm amazed by GSW performance in the game against the Celtics yesterday, and also by the Warriors decline year after year, a few seasons ago they were the most feared team in the NBA and Today, the Warriors are a team that is fighting to get a seed in the playoffs in the league...

992  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is the newly minted USDT, a driving force to surge of BTC ? on: March 04, 2024, 08:07:15 PM
If we'd take a look on 2017 bull run. It was one of the major reasons they've said why Bitcoin has pumped. I guess there's a driving force for the price of BTC to move up and newly minted Tether did helped on it.

But this time, it's not a major thing but just a helper to what it is right now. We've got several great contributors and one of it is the major driving for of this bull run which are the bitcoin spot etfs.
993  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which player are you? on: March 04, 2024, 07:13:19 PM
I like sportsbetting and also other casino games, I haven't played the majority of them but they're fun to play when I do.

But for the meantime, I'm sticking with sportsbetting and some dice games whenever I'm stressed and when my bets on sports didn't go accordingly.

It's more of a stress reliever when I play those casino games. So, that's the casual gambler there and that's me.
994  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC above $53k on: March 04, 2024, 05:56:44 PM
That is the thought of some hodlers in the last month, that the price of BTC will not enter $60k but what is happening now in the market make them to believe that it is possible for the price of BTC to hit back $69k before the end of this month of march for hodlers to enjoy long bull run.
If it's by the end of the month, it's very likely that we will see it soon. Bitcoin has got to $67k and that's just two thousand bucks away for it to be back to its former ATH.

This March is still long but the start of it, there have been a lot of things that are happening already. I am feeling that we're like in the March of 2020 when nothing is actually happening but we're approaching to halving.

And with that, the next year was full of blown and skyrockets.

It is what everyone expected on how this game is going to end. 140-88. The game truly changed a lot and Celtics on this game shown how consistent they are, mostly their key players.

Now, it's just a question on how this will translate for the Celtics in the playoff, can they still dominate opponents that they are going to face in the playoff and continue their magical season? Or will they choke like 2 years ago when they face the Warriors in the finals and lost the series? No doubt that they are going to win the Eastern conference, maybe 8+ games or more against the number two. But still a long way to go for them and all will be answered come playoff time.
Their appearance in the semis and finals is great but it seems that they're really cursed in the finals.

What a bad day for the Golden State Warriors. That's already a one sided game that they have no appetite to end it.

Once again the Celtics showed they are an excellent team!

It's hard to believe the game between the Celtics and Warriors, it was an absurd difference.
I took a quick look at the statistics and saw some interesting points, all players (both teams) managed to score 2 or more points, (correct me if I'm wrong) no one (both teams) achieved a double-double, and what caught my attention was the Warriors' 3 point shoot percentage, just 17.1% (7/41) that's was insane!

It's the twist of the century, LOL.

Every mom who works hard deserve to win this such valuable money in the lottery. But not all moms bet there and only a few of them gets to win it.

That mom is like the representative of all of the moms in the world and that's why she's deserving to add up with that amount that she had unexpectedly grown quickly.
It's a big win and a big congratulations to that Mom.

I just don't know what she already sacrificed for the sake of gambling, and I'd hope that she is not addicted to gambling and being a good mother despite of being into gambling.

We don't know the story behind but I hope that this big win will change her life and her family for the better.
I hope so that she's not addicted and she's going to use that money for the better and won't be back and bet again in the lottery.

As she understands that not everyone who bet there will be able to win for the second time around. There could be some that wins there again but it's a rare case and she should be aware of that.

That's already enough as she deserve that win.

Are you sure that you afford to lose $500 in trading? You've just said that you saved it up and then willing to lose just to learn.

If that is so, I admire your bravery because not all newbies in trading are okay with that and all they ask is on how to trade safely.

But even with that, there's no such thing and your approach is the only approach that one can learn from it. Start making exchanges account and only do it with the top ones like Binance, kucoin, Coinbase for centralized ones.

Just do your thing, if you think celebrations can be delayed and it's just a pleasure and your wife is totally okay with that. That's your relationship and there's no one that will stop you to use that money to anything else or by investing in the crypto market.

I just think that since you have your money on investment like Bitcoin, you shouldn't have proceed to marriage when you know such things will bring problems, you know the kind of woman you marry, you know better and see better than most of us here that are dropping our one cents and opinions.
That's right, you know your woman better and she knows you better too. Don't get overhype with expectations over reality but it's up to the kind of arrangement that both of you have.

If it's part of your plan to have a better life in the future, good luck to all of us who are investing and keep on investing and holding bitcoin.  Cool

Totally agreed if people were to spend their time on learning new things many will become more successful than there were.
It's not about having success when you learn something new. But it's about having the feeling of satisfaction when you learn something new. And you can apply that to anything you think is going to give you potential profitability.

Its a simple fact that many don't seems to believe.
It is simple and fact that we should keep on learning and upgrading our skills because we're in a very competitive world where things don't stay being stagnant anymore.

We have to adapt and have the initiative to learn something new from time to time.
