And one thing that I experienced when I tried holding one trash coin that I tried to catch up some its gains months back was that I wasn't having this peace of mind, Because right inside me, I know there's no guaranteed future, even though that the coin looked promising and later performed well but I wasn't still having that peace of mind I have holding my portfolios in Bitcoin, and obviously I can tell from this experience that holding those trash (shitcoins) is just gambling your funds.

This is your choice, my friend, if Bitcoin is the only one that gives you peace of mind and you fully know within yourself that a coin is truly a "Shit"coin, why then still invest your money in it if you are sincere with yourself? Like me, I make sure that I go for the best choice that will give me the rest of my mind, so I will never term them shitcoins because I have never regretted investing in them, they are just altcoins which is best described by the alternative to Bitcoin, so they are not automatically worthless like many would want people to believe in favour of Bitcoin. But when it is becoming a shitcoin, I wonder why on earth anyone would want to invest their money in such a coin that will "shit" them indeed...lol Or perhaps you are trying to make it look like that, and if you do not mind, I like to know this coin you called a shitcoin.

However, if it is not worth it really, why not just avoid it next time and go for only coins that will give you the rest of mind and add positively to your crypto portfolio? I diversify my portfolio just for you to know that I am not investing in Bitcoin alone, and especially at the high price of Bitcoin, it is a disadvantage for me no matter what anybody says to me. As an investor of over a decade before Bitcoin, I will not be sentimental as though it is the only one that will give me the rest of mind in the crypto industry, no, I can only say that it is the most reliable in the industry. It is worth knowing that I have my sizeable amount of Bitcoin as well and I will continue to play smart between Bitcoin and altcoins depending on my feelings and speculations, and not what the internet or anyone wants me to believe.

Whether you diversified your portfolio or not, it doesn't change the fact that there are shitcoins out there and you never can tell which one can disappoint. However, don't know what you understand by shitcoins, but when I said shitcoins, I meant those coins which have no value attached to it or have a utility case but due to the hypes around those coins and the community they've gathered they were able to gain attention, take you for instance, there's a particular meme coin right now called Notcoin which has gained popularity recently in the crypto space.

It doesn't mean if I hold Bitcoin I don't try something else, but rather expressing my experience the times when I held some of those shitcoin which I don't have holding my Bitcoin,  because for BTC  even though that the price drops, historically there is a hope that one day it will come back to you unlike when you hold any of the meme coins, and it dumps on you.

The transfer saga drama has officially ended and the long wait for everyone who has been talking about rumors of Mbappe going to Real Madrid for years has ended last night. Not only has this drama been going on for a year or two years, but it has been going on for 7 years and everyone can finally sleep soundly.

Now Mbappe will definitely be at the peak of his career by joining Real Madrid and no team has been able to stop Real Madrid for many years. The reason is that Mbappe is the last piece that Florentino Perez needs to win all the existing titles and of course Mbappe will also find it easier to win the UCL with Real Madrid.
Real Madrid in this past number of years have shown high level of determination in trying to land Kylian Mbappé to Madrid and now finally we have this deal became officially penned down. However,  it now lies in the hands of Mbappé to deliver on the high level of expectation being mounted on him because many supporters and fan would be interested to see what he's going to offer in his stay at Madrid now that he has all the opportunities which he has been looking for to achieve most of his football dreams, such as lifting the Champions League trophy, winning the Ballon d'Or and rest of others as he now has the right Manager and players by the side.

Currently, there's a pattern. A person makes a new account in BitcoinTalk, makes a topic/accuses a casino of scamming him/her, and because some users need to bump up their post count for their signature campaigns, the topic gets more attention than it should be during a normal situation.

OK, it's understandable that users need to bump up their post count, but we should also be responsible to find the truth, and merely not believing an accusation from a person who literally made a brand new account, nor discussing it with the person like something wrong actually happened. Because actual scammers themselves will take advantage of us.
One good thing about this is that most of the accused platforms which I have seen being accused have their representatives here in the forum and I don't take side when it comes to this. We've seen in most case where the platforms reps come out and clear the air about the situation. Also I have seen here a situation where a client of a particular gambling platform in his accused thread show off some evidence regarding his claims about a restriction placed on his account after he had won huge some amount of money, to me, what I have always done is suggesting possible means that the op would go about sorting his claims out with the accused site while waiting to hear a response from the platform in talk or if they have a community I'm I joined, then I bring in the questions regarding this issue to the community to try to know if other clients are facing same issue too.

DCA is going to be quite problematic for any coin or project that is generaly trending downard in its price... One thing about any asset with strong fundamentals would be that even if it is trending downward for very long periods of time, if the fundamentals are strong enough, then the downward trend should end up reversing, and sure it is not guaranteed to reverse, and sometimes we might not know that something is a shitcoin until it never ends up recovering.

Surely there are some shitcoins that end up having second lives, and so there could end up being some value in DCAing into them and then getting out during one of their recovery periods... but yeah, would we call that investing?  Probably we would call it trading and/or gambling... depending on how wild the coin is and if there might be some reasons that the coin/project actually has meaningful/substantial value beyond pumping and dumping.

But JJG the difference is that we do some analysis here and know that sometimes you trade fundamentals or you can trade the sentiment or information you have. Too many people are still stuck with terms like market capitalization or coin price. They have no idea, don't read basic material about bitcoin, fall for the most fancy techn language and check coinmarketcap for low market cap coins in hopes to see those rice to bitcoin levels. That is where it becomes stupid. You know these sentences "but bitcoin very expensive, trashcoin only $0.05, much potential". Some don't even understand the concept as mentioned above. When there is a coin that costs 1/1000th of bitcoin, but there are 1000x the number of bitcoins, they still think that it takes less money to push the price of that trashcoin that to push bitcoin upwards.

And one thing that I experienced when I tried holding one trash coin which I tried to catch up some of its gains months back was that I wasn't having this peace of mind, Because right inside me, I know there's no guaranteed future, even though that the coin looked promising and later performed well but I wasn't still having that peace of mind I have holding my portfolios in Bitcoin, and obviously I can tell from this experience that holding those trash (shitcoins) is just like gambling your funds.

Ive been hearing about situations where someone buys a coin for a certain rate and not quite long after,  the said coin drops in value, or  someone sells his coin for a certain rate and then it appreciates just after.
What's your take on this? Given the period we're in is it buy time or sell time?
From my experience having been in this space for some time and from the traders perspective, this sanario happens when you're entering the market when you bought a coin and it's set for a move, whereas the one you bought a coin and the price begins drops happens when the market has not gotten to its destination point or maybe the market is still taking orders.

Nigeria is country that is well known as a typical agricultural nation which was once the mainstay to the country economy and because of the agricultural strength of the country compel them to have their flag as Green White Green which signify agriculture and peace but it baffles me to see the level of hunger going on in Nigeria now to the extend that an average Nigerian cannot boast of feeding himself and family three square meal per day.
What could be the root cause of this hunger in a country that has all it takes including human capitals and natural resources to make a great nation that the whole would will cherish and envy.
Nigeria as a country claim to be practicing democratic system of government but this is not true ,Democracy which I know by definition is a government for the people, but what they're practicing in Nigeria is a selfish government "government for their pockets " none of the leaders in power cares about the people which they're leading to try to solve their problems, rather the government that is elected to solving its citizens problems even got into office created more problems for the people, thereby pushing the majority of people into the poverty line with hiking fuel prices which later caused the skyrocketing prices of things in the country, whereas the wages and salaries remained constant.

8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: June 02, 2024, 07:57:55 PM
tonight the last day of Serie A was played with the recovery of the match postponed months ago between Atalanta and Fiorentina.

Fiorentina managed to beat the European champions and among the many verdicts of the season... Juventus therefore ended the season in third place.
Let's say that it was impossible to imagine third place with the terrible second half of the season played by the Bianconeri.

Juventus towards the ending of the season began to lag behind and both their form dropped which gave AC Milan opportunity to climb second in their league table at the end of the season, Though it was somehow hard to have believed that if you judge base on their performance in the beginning of the season, well the fact that they finished 3rd still do not stop them from going to the Champions league competition next season.

Haven't nurturing this idea of trading a Bitcoin in the near future,but one question that's always come as a concern to me is. Is proper for me to trust a friend of that high magnitude ?
When it comes to trading generally or precisely trading Bitcoin, It is not something you have to trust someone your money to trade for you regardless of the trust that you have in the person. Bitcoin and crypto is a volatile Market and everyone needs to take the risks involve himself because there's no guarantee in the market,  And besides Op, what stops you from gaining the knowledge? since you have interest in Bitcoin and crypto investment.

Warning: Do not pm this guy. He may be expecting that just to scam you. Do not believe in fixed match. If it is a scam, he will tell you to use your money to bet that he will give you fixed matches to bet with, that if you win you will give him certain percentage of the money that you won. But when you lose over and over again would be when you will know that you are scammed.
In a norm, I don't believe someone who has made such an amount of would even want to review such information he would rathe want to continue milking the betting platforms codedly than wants to letting people know of it, and besides who wants to share this kind of information which may hurt his source of income if many people are found doing same thing.


I agree with you that this is a potential scaming trick.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Donald Trump's stance on Bitcoin is changing on: June 01, 2024, 06:48:17 PM
Did you think that Trump will not win the primaries flawlessly? He would have won becuase he is very influential and he was the former United States president. The only obstacle he has in the presidential election is his rival Biden which is the present US president.

The crypto community also commented that he may be looking for vote from crypto community. But be it that, I like that the adoption of bitcoin has proven itself with masses which are now bitcoin holders and the approval of bitcoin ETF in the United States.
And even if Trump did not get elected finally but the fact that him being the former President of the United States and currently the Republican Party flag bearer in this coming US presidential election said such things about Bitcoin, it indeed a green light for Bitcoin and the crypto space, and already it has made Bitcoin become talk of the day even for people who don't initially regard it; this might become a new trend in the voting system where voters would be interested to try to vote in a president who are Bitcoin-friendly in the coming future and a presidential aspirant who doesn't involve Bitcoin in his campaign promises might find it difficult to win election in the United States  and possibly is some other countries election too.

The truth is that Real Madrid is classic when they reached Champions league final game, no doubt, But I'm tired of seeing a dominated Champions league final by Real Madrid, and this kind of changing Champions league game from what it used to be before which made it become a very entertaining and competitive football trophy in Europe. Despite the fact I'm not a Madrid fan but I love Madrid more than I do like Borussia Dortmund, but due to this reason, I wouldn't want to see Madrid win again, yes wining a trophy is a good thing no doubt, but I preferred and enjoying the fact that it was hard to see a team that goes back to back or regularly in the Champions League final.

It is not surprising that Jose Mourinho quickly found a new team after he was fired from AS Roma, because he is still considered a good and influential coach, even though he also experienced failures and even ended up being fired. However, that did not stop the Turkish team from getting Jose Mourinho's signature, maybe there he will get something even better.
A coach like Jose Mourinho is a coach who is already quite famous historically so it will not be that difficult for him to immediately get a new team for him to train next season. I also think that the Turkish team that gets Jose Mourinho's signature can also be quite lucky in the League next season. Because Jose Mourinho is someone who is able to read the character of the players more quickly so it will not be difficult for him to adapt to the Turkish League environment
Well, it's true, his popularity as a coach is indeed the main capital for him to be able to have a selling point that will make a club interested in him, yes, even though he is also a controversial coach with some funny behavior that provokes debate, but that is one the high self-confidence that a coach has, which every coach should have. And even his nickname as "the special one" is a nickname he labeled himself (if I'm not mistaken).

He also received a lot of criticism when he implemented the bus parking strategy, but it was proven that he was successful with that strategy. He also thinks that playing doesn't have to be beautiful because winning is the ultimate goal. He can consistently adhere to these principles, actually this is a good thing because a coach must have principles that he can adhere to.

He has many other advantages as a coach, so that is one of the reasons why he did not stay unemployed for long.
It is a good thing to have a wining mentality as well as have an entaintaining football mindset for we to enjoy a complete football ,else football wouldn't have been this entaintaining as it is today if other coaches only play Mourinho kind of football. We have had one of the greatest beautiful football time watching Barcelona under Pep Guardiola because of his winning mentality as well as playing entaintaining football.

Well, I wish Mourinho well in his new job because his a man I enjoy his defensive mechanism back days at Chelsea and Inter Milan , However,  he should learn from his mistakes which has led to several clubs firing a personality like Mourinho. He's then Spanish counterpart Guardiola should be an exemplary manager to learn from,  Guardiola has only moved to two different clubs since he left Barcelona, But Mourinho has been fired by more than 5 different clubs since he left Madrid if I'm not wrong.

Please I want to appeal to people continue making this place to be active and also ensure that we do the necessary things we to do, but campaigns reducing everyday should not make us to be distracted.
I don't think there is a need for an appeal. We registered on the forum with different motives and intentions. The forum will also be active, it may be reduced but will always be active.

Quote
I applaud you for this decision and also without delay putting this campaign on hold, without putting this campaign on hold that will raise more alarms, its better as you pause the campaign until the matter is being resolve.
Wait... I thought "Hold" and "Pause" are synonyms that are used interchangeably by different campaign managers based on their preference. If it is not, then someone should enlighten me. Thank you.

The only category of people I kind of think will be leaving the forum should we keep getting some of this companies leave the forum or go thin air are members that only came here because of the signature campaign that the forum gives opportunity to, and yes we came here because of various reasons well understood but the forum offer more and not only tied to the signature campaign alone , The knowledge we get here free of charge is indeed a huge one.

https://www.theblock.co/post/297504/biden-campaign-shifts-crypto-stance-engages-crypto-industry-presidential-elections-2024

In of the most ridiculous 180 degree turns in politics, the Biden campaign has come out with an outreach program. This is a few weeks after Trump started being staunchly pro-crypto. What a crazy fucking turn of events, isn't it? The administration that had the strictest approach towards crypto adoption, now changing its stance completely.

Do you think these statements hold any truth or is it just a trick to save votes? In my honest opinion it's quite a stupid move by Biden's campaign especially given that much of his platform are either very indifferent towards crypto or even outright hate it due to environmental reasons.
Follow their action and not be tricked by what they say or promise, To me I tag it as election campaign wining strategy or campaign promisese which cannot be fulfilled after election, if his administration really meant for the crypto industry why is he anti crypto with his policies through the SEC chair? or is it now that Trump has promised what he will do if he wins election that he now realized himself, oh is it now that Joe Biden is waking up? Watch out if any of this will happen if he is returned President of the United states.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: May 31, 2024, 05:37:09 PM
I wonder how they are going to get ready for the next season!! Because you know that there is almost 100% chance that Mbappé is going to leave PSG, right? They will definitely somehow have to manage without him. rumor saying, there is a chance that they are looking for Osimhen. But the problem is that guy is very interested in going to Chelsea. At least that's how it seems. Currently, it feels like they are actually going to make Kolo Muani the main striker of PSG. I hope they do not do that. If they want to sustain they will have to bring in someone better. If they are actually thinking about making Kolo Muani the main striker, they are not going to go very far with that plan. because he is just simply not good enough.
PSG will be fine with or without Kylian Mbappe, the management of PSG itself already know this more than you do and I guess they have plans on ground to take care of Mbappe's departure from the club, and besides they're going to make some money from the deal and which I they have some players on mind they will be going for after that deal is completed,  They only need to get two or three quality players to step the team Mbappe departure from the club and with time the get stronger.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: May 31, 2024, 12:06:19 PM
That is true and i have seen that too. That may be pressuring Xavi to leave Barcelona as well caused by the finalcial problems made him struggle to build his dream club. Barcelona must raise a significant sum of money in order to lift their ban from La Liga but laporta keep being delutional with it by ignoring to sell the players. The team must have sold some players with extremely hefty salaries like lewandowski and send felix back to the ATM. I completely agree with Xavi's recommendation to sell some of the club's highest-paid players.
Laporta must resolve this as quickly as possible. Barcelona must address it as quickly as possible in order to improve the club's finances caused by many of its fans are so skeptical with barcelona this time. Laporta needs to adjust his habits in order to keep the player till he leaves the club as a free agent and he must be selling a player that can give barcelona. alot of money to at very least started to solve its financial problem.

He must be selling players who have short-term contracts remaining before it eas leaving as a free agent. Laporta must be attempting to avoid the mistake he made with the ansu fati. Laporta has yet to address Barcelona's financial issues and he must be doing this asap. The club's struggles may persist if Laporta continues to resist selling players to raise funds and barcelona may be getting banned from registering the new player again.
When you sell players like Lewandowski and Felix ,then who else willl be remaind to play in the team because this players are the players that helps holds the Barcelona team firm at the moment, But because of the financial issue on ground I think this is a decision that they have no option to make than to sell some of these high paid players to cut cost.

Since the launch of a bitcoin exchange-traded fund earlier this year, bitcoin has recovered and even surpassed its all-time highs set during the 2021 bull run. But for weeks, it looked like the largest cryptocurrency was trading sideways at best.
This is how the market works, market has to face accumulation and distribution face, or consolidation in another terms. When you see that the market is moving sideways, it means the market market is currently taking orders Buy/sell orders and after that what will happen next is expansion in the direction of demand or supply side, depending on the side that has greater market bid.

Bitcoin is preparing its way for possibily another explosive movement to the up side and the longer it takes, more massive the movement would become.

1. PayPal launched their own Stablecoin called $PYUSD on Solana Blockchain.
2. Mastercard launched 'Crypto Credential,' allowing users to send and receive crypto using a username instead of a wallet address.

Such a big name in the finance industry introduced Crypto related services today.
Other companies will surely follow them which will lead to the next Bitcoin Bull Run.

Let me know what you guys think!
If you don't follow the trend then you'll be left behind, I think Mastercard as a financial institution have got to know this and they are keying in when it's not too late, And have to start offering their customers services in crypto because it has become clear that cryptocurrencies is the future of money and as we see can see that we are having increasing interest on crypto as each day pass by.

Why does everyone seem overconfident in backing Real Madrid to win their 15th Champions League title, but they forget that Dortmund also wants to win their second?

Dortmund have proven their quality this season when they were drawn to be in the hell group with PSG, Milan and Newcastle. Dortmund beat PSV, Atletico Madrid and PSG in the round of 16, quarter-finals and semifinals respectively, isn't that extraordinary for a team hoping to win the title?

If Ancelotti has a squad capable of achieving all his dreams, I think Dortmund does too. The problem is that both teams have different squad depths, but in terms of motivation to win, I think they are both the same.
Majority of people are underestimating the capacity of Borussia Dortmund in this final, well this is because Real Madrid they're the dominanting team when it comes Champions league games and especially they have experience in winning in the final games, So this is why the rating is fucking high on Madrid winning of the trophy and I'm definitely going to risk on this game whatever outcomes I will be good, We saw what happened in the two finals we watched recently, Manchester City vs Manchester United, and Atalanta vs Bayern Leverkusen and the two teams that lost are most in form team, we might be surprised once again in this final.
