1  Economy / Economics / Re: Money addiction on: Today at 03:01:23 AM
People who are looking to earn more money only because they aren't able to meet their basic requirements can't be called addicted to wanting more money because it's what they need to survive. If you are unable to make ends meet, you will have to find a different way to survive because you can't starve to death or make your family suffer. So, I don't think this can be considered a hunger for more money but it is one of the basic requirements for any human.

Addicted are those who have enough money but are still looking to make more money, look at the whales or those who have millions of dollars but are still looking to start new businesses and make more investments only to increase their wealth, they are the ones you can call addicted to money.
here I think there's no such thing as addicted to money, i think we already have the term for this which is workaholic where people just can't stop working because they always want to work.
but if my addiction is related to always having the urge to make money and keep making more and more, heck I think thats the best addiction there is because lets be frank here, society forces us to always makes money for ourselves.
the people that aren't productive are actually being valued low in the society, so this money addiction is kind of a big win honestly.

since honestly, there's nothing wrong with hoarding as much purchasing power as you can, with hoarding money it means you got more power since money can be used to buy literally anything these days.
so whats wrong with it, there's really nothing wrong.
there's reason why the billionaires keep making more and more company to boost their personal wealth, because making money is great and there's no downsides to it.

addicted to money???
I think it's normal for people to actively earn money to meet their living needs and lifestyle, as long as they are willing to work and try, it doesn't matter, not by being lazy but wanting to live the same as that person is someone who can be said to be unreasonable and lazy.
Basically, money is everything for all sectors of life, so it is natural that everyone is active in seeking money for the prosperity of themselves and their families.
If prices of goods and services have been continuously rising so fast, then most likely in order to make ends meet, people will also strive harder to earn more money not only to live a comfortable life but mainly, for survival. So I think that’s never an addiction, but a normal human reaction in order to live and enjoy life the way they want it to be.

However, on the other hand I would also love seeing people getting into  money addiction if it really exists so that everyone will work hard and strive hard, and that laziness will not be practiced anymore which made the people missed opportunities to earn money. And as long as making more money is not done through illegal means, then I’m really fine with it.
this is the truth, the fact that we keeps striving for better financial condition is the instinct to survive, where you can get basic needs from spending money, it means entire survivability depends on it.
that what most people should understand, the fact that some people are addicted to make money, means they just want to keep their survivability high.
2  Economy / Economics / Re: How Do You Store Value to Offset Inflation? on: Today at 02:39:22 AM
according to this site https://www.cfr.org/tracker/global-inflation-tracker the global inflation rate after the pandemic floats around 8.8% this means you just need capital gain of more than that to combat the inflation.
honestly if you are on the side that seek safety rather than massive capital gain, gold already suffice, did you know that gold from the start of this year up until now already having good growth of around 13.81% simply putting your moeny in gold already combats the inflation and you're set already, the only problem posed from investing in gold is the liquidity, but if you're on the side that seeks more capital gain just for the sake of accumulating wealth, you better off investing in cryptocurrency around bearish then wait until bullrun disregarding all the ups and downs in the process which in the other word holding for long term, had you invested in bitcoin when the price was still $20k, you are already making 3 times of your capital, seems a lot more lucrative and prospectful of an investment compared to gold, but it does carry some risk.

its always common sense that the greater risk there is, the more profit you can get, thats literally it, with gold you're settled from inflation, so if that what you seek honestly just go ahead with gold.
the bank deposits on the other hand right now is not really great, heck even apy of staking stablecoin isn't that great, mostly it only gives 3% - 5% which is just small pocket change for a year.
real estate on the other hand require massive capital to start with.

Southampton don't have that strong force in the EPL as of last season and now they're back but I'm still not convinced by how they got that spot, they were lucky to qualify back to the EPL but one thing I like about them is, they have this energy gotten from God knows where when they face some of these bigger clubs but clubs that are of the same level as them, they feel weak, fight the bigger clubs is what I love about them (Southampton).
Things have changed since they left and am not too sure if they're going to do better this season, some players in the squad are not too familiar with the force of the EPL (I mean on the pitch) but like you said, they know what to do, the ball is in their court now.
Southampton are back in the Premier League after defeating Leeds United at Wembley! Leeds really messed up their season. At one point, they were first in the Championship. They were a bit unlucky not to qualify for the EPL, while Southampton had some luck on their side. Anyway, Southampton are Premier League material, so they deserve to be back. Congratulations to them. I hope they improve their game because the EPL is tougher than before. so my message to them is that things will be really difficult next season. They need to be ready to perform in the most competitive league in the world, or else they’ll be conceding a lot of goals against the big clubs. It hasn't been easy for newly promoted clubs to cope with the EPL lately, so just wish, they won't drop back down.
I hope so. It would be stupid if Southampton returned to the relegation zone again after it tried so hard to go to the EPL. I don't have high expectations for this club considering the awful performance against leeds but let's see what happens in the coming season. If they will be relegated again, they must be blamed. Southampton will compete in the EPL alongside Ipswitch and Leicester, im still doubting the club. Never anticipated ipswitch to return to the EPL.
Southampton worked so hard in the play-off game against Leeds United and they deserved it. Their statistics do not reflect good progress. I meant that the paucity of shots on target versus Leeds reflected the club's poor performance in that game and this must be improved when they will be playing on the EPL next season

Im sure that southampton is gonna be a clown club but there is still enough time to make preparation for the club as soon as possible. Staying in EPL is gonna be a very good target for southampton next season. The competition will be very competitive.
Three teams qualified for the EPL last season must be back again to the championship caused by their incapabilities to compete with the EPL clubs.

Al-Hilal is so afraid of competition that they will soon put together two squads like City. Of course, this is their business, but I don’t know if Leau should choose money and, at 24 years old, go downhill instead of developing. I don’t know if Milan will be satisfied with the compensation, it seems they made significant efforts to keep Leau in Milan.
Rafael Leão is not target of Al Hilal with most chances he will be not done any mistake to jump into league where things are not competitive like we have in UEFA and few days back he already extended his contract until 2028 so it's just a rumor he is having interest into Saudi League with he has good career here and things could be good and on track for his bright future.
Quote
AC Milan starlet Rafael Leao has snubbed offers from Real Madrid and Chelsea and will look to stay long-term with the Rossoneri, according to reports.
https://m.allfootballapp.com/news/EPL/AC-Milan-starlet-Rafael-Leao-SNUBS-offers-from-Real-Madrid-and-Chelsea/3083091

Im still doubting why people are still talking about his future but leao has made everything clear if he was always willing to stay in rossoneri for long term. He has snubbed real madrid and chelsea's offers to him. How can he accept saudi pro league's offer? This news sounds a fake news for sure.
I storngly agree with you if this is probably a fake rumor. Leaso has confirmed that even since last month if he is unwilling to leave from the club. It doesn't matter how big the money offered to him. Leaso will stay, although acmilan will change its mind to sell him.

AC Milan is happy to have this player for long time so even Al Hilal will be doing any attempt then most chances this could be blocked by AC Milan which is having second spot and now also having another season into Champions League, and they also needed player like him who can lead from the front which will be bringing good results as well for the club.
Acmilan doesn't have good RW other than him. Selling him to the another club will become a big blunder by acmilan. Im not even doubting it considering the fact that leaso's contract till 2028.

We are still 4 years to go before leao's contract will be end.

Betting on the underdog seems even more dubious nowadays. The two final matches (European League Final and FA Cup Final) have indeed changed our perception about who will be the favorite in the Champions League final match. Atalanta surprised everyone because they managed to beat Leverkusen, who had never lost before this season. In fact, Atalanta is the only team that has managed to beat Leverkusen this season. And in the FA Cup it surprised me even more. Because who would have thought that Manchester City would lose to Manchester United, who have been very inconsistent this season. The results of this match even made those of us who were initially sure about betting on Real Madrid have to think twice. Because it's possible that the same thing will happen in the Champions League. But I may have to reassure myself that Real Madrid will not lose in the Champions League Final. Because it has been a very long time since Real Madrid last lost in the Champions League Final.
Its difference atmosphere when comparison between UEFA Europe League final match and Champion League, Real Madrid had much experienced as the winner team when success qualifying to final round difference with Dortmund as underrate teams make us surprised after their achievement lead to final round. Actually the Europe League winner Atalanta is not weakness team because success eliminating top candidate winner teams Liverpool on quarter final round.
Totally different. Real madrid is 14 times UCL winner can't be compared with dortmund. Ancellotti has a very good accuracy when it comes to the UCL final match. It was totally unpredictable to see dortmund in the final. I can't relaly say that if people can compare real madrid to the liverpool or ever leverkusen.
This is the only club that has won UCL more than 10 times. It sounds non sense to think about that. I strongly believe in real madrid to take the trophy from dortmund soon.

In my opinion, Madrid is more favorite team will win UEFA Champion League trophy in this season because their composition players perform more better than Dortmund. Real  Madrid have advantage with faster counter attack than Dortmund playing more individual exactly with Jadon Sancho and make Madrid has bigger chance for winning the final match.



https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/028d-1af2b2b6fa83-105b56c607b6-1000--champions-league-final-preview-dortmund-vs-real-madrid-wh/

The picture tells us everything. Public has been favoring real madrid to win the game against dortmund. I take that picture from UCL's site. It's based on public's opinion.

Atletico Madrid still has confidence in Diego Simeone, it seems they don't want to take the risk of firing him and replacing him with a new coach. I can understand that, because when they have to work with a new coach, there is definitely an adaptation process that must be gone through, and there may also be big changes according to the coach's needs. And all this also cannot guarantee that they will be better, and does not rule out the possibility that everything will get worse.

It seems like they are still quite satisfied with being in the top 4, even though they didn't win the La Liga title, but at least they can still secure a place to play in the Champions League next season. Diego Simeone should also be able to respond to the trust that management has placed in him by showing an even better game. Indeed, this is something that is not easy to do, and I am also sure that he is trying to do his best, but maybe there are problems that prevent them from being optimal.
To compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona you often need significant funding (Girona was an exception, but in the end I couldn't stand it), and Semione knows the team well and knows how to work with the players that are on the team. He provides Atlеtico with a place in the Champions League, and plays quite well in the playoffs.
Girona was a part of city football group. Girona is now very different compared to the old girona. The fresh funding from city's owner has been also helping girona to show great improvements on its performance in the la liga. Simeone was always a boring coach. He has been there in atletico madrid for many years.
Diego simeone probably will be retire on atletico madrid. The club's owner has no interest to change him following the positive result that has been always achieving by him.


Нe also helped Atlеtico become champions in the 2020/21 season, which is not easy, so he will always be valued in this team, he will probably be the coach until he decides to leave the team, at least that's what it looks like.
that's an old story. Simeone is atletico's family. The club's management will never sack him.

After their failure in the UEFA Europa League, in the end, Bayer Leverkusen won the DFB-Pokal. Congratulations to those who have finally held 2 medals this season.
Bayer Leverkusen treble accomplishment shattered and they have to settle for two titles this season. The DFB-Pokal was important for Bayer Leverkussen after failing to win Atalanta in the Europa League final. They've been one the promising club this season with just a defeat. Xabi Alonso is currently the main instrument, he has helped his club deliver good news and will always do the pushing moves to making things running smoothly.

Even though they failed in the europa league but it doesn't deny the fact that if leverkusen was owning bundesliga and DFB pokal. It's more than enough for xabi alonso. There may be a lot of clubs will try to approach him as a new coach.
Invicible record by bayern leverkusen + two trophies. There is no a better result rather than this. Xabi deservesa lot of appreciation for all of his dedication to the club. Xabi was not only a coach but he likes a teacher for whole players of leverkusen

No reason for leverkusen to let him leave from the club that fast. We may be seeing xabi to stay there for several years.




Manchester city has been putting xabi alonso on its shortlist as a guardiola's successor.

The best meme is when the pump comes, the worst is when the price is slammed like a roller coaster going down without stopping, especially after the pump reaches one hundred percent or more.

When will people leave if they have run out of funds because most of them can't stand the correction and can't wait for the price to rise again, the most loss is there.


whether pump or dump its always fomo one way or another, right now market bullrun making meme coin rise so high due to fomo, same thing with bearish, i think this can be applied to most of coins and after that come the best time to buy meme coin, as for now, not much, but it can still rise, just look at pepe, the coin keep rising despite already rising so much few weeks back.
thats because the hypes is going around pepe and probably will not stop until it get to the level of shib.
but remember that fomo is always a bad idea to start out your investment.
because that fear of missing out will just make you so pumped in investing but actually its not really the right time.
its always advised to wait until the price get down first with meme coin, since there might be correction after series of pepe or other meme coin sudden pump.
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coins are undervalued in 2024? on: May 27, 2024, 09:37:43 AM
I think XRP is heavily undervalued too
honestly this coin just don't rise as much as other in this bullrun i don't know why as stated by other there are many problems relating to this coin, even I doubt the proposal of ETF for this coin will be approved, the chance is definitely a lot slimmer than ethereum right now.

if compared with other coin like solana which is a lot more promising in my opinion the XRP doesn't seem to be an attractive investment.
but maybe there's potential that I overlooked.

After looking at the crypto coin market which is considered trivial, namely Uniswap and Litecoin, both of which have shone in the previous halving, Litecoin has provided many opportunities for traders and investors with relatively large profits, as well as Uniswap which has a very large market quality in every exchange. with different networks. I'm sure Uniswap and Lite Coin will provide new surprises in the next bull run even though interest has started to decrease now.
with the presence of many new swaps platform, i doubt that the price of uniswap gonna hike again though its like there are so many coins that competes against this one, not to mention the new ones consistently giving out airdrops.

I would suggest buying an apartment, or a house. However, the worries you have remain worries until that happens. However, if you own an apartment, you already own an asset. If something happens, you can sell the apartment. It will be a big loss if you don't make a decision now, and your life has been going on for 20 to 30 years. well, you still don't have anything, in fact the costs you incur may be more. however, these are just suggestions, as I also plan to own a home. It's the same as having a long-term investment.
the thing is house prices skyrocket, average people can't afford home, it'd be great if we can own a home after all its property that many people said to be only growing up.
but if we can't afford it then what the use.
but i agreed, if we can buy home or apartement it'd be a massive heavy weight off our shoulders, but the price just too much for us to be able to afford.
there's even news that says the newer generation including millenials aren't gonna be able to afford a property unlike the generation before.
the situation is so unfit that we can't afford to buy a small house just for the sake of living, just keep working to make landlords richer and richer.
11  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you feel that the global economy is declining? on: May 26, 2024, 02:48:03 PM
Another perspective to look at this would be the improvements on life quality as well. Sure, we are not living an amazing life compared to what is available, but we are living a better life compared to what people back in history lived. The quality of life is much better than 99% of the Kings that lived in history, I can live such a good life, and I have better medical care than almost every ruler in the world who ever lived, aside from the current ones, even as recently as 40-50 years ago, no president/king/ruler ever had medical care that I can afford right now.

All the entertainment, all the things I can do, even the food is better. But, what makes us sad is that there is even more than what we can afford, even better life. So we are sad while living better than kings, because there are people who live better than us too.
agreed with this people overlook too much on these things due to being too focused on inflation.
most of average people nowaday have access to various thing that even people in the early of 2000s don't really have.
like all you mentioned, healthcare right now more accessible than ever also technologically speaking we are more advanced, the rate of people surviving serious disease is increasing.
so its not really a bad condition overall, i mean some sector indeed fall short like the scarcity of lands in the city, that i could agree on.
but overall, if we see from the bigger picture its a better condition overall.
but it all come with the prerequisites that you should at least be in the middle income bracket to actually get some benefits.

It's confirmed by romano if two clubs are pushing to get olise from palace. Im not even doubting it since manchester united lack of good player in the squad. The club needs to sign a new player but hold on. Does united have money for this? I've heard that glazer gave less than 50 millions for ten hag this season.
How can united recruit olise as a new player? I meant united has no money this time to recruit him. This will be another useless competition. United needs urgently to sell some of their talents as soon as possible considering it's in the competition with chelsea.

Im wondering what's gonna be a plan for ten hag to raise the money to get olise from palace. We do know that how ten hag had spent a lot of money but he still got nothing other than carabao cup.
Very disappointed result for united. Im only hoping ten hag to know his capability once his recruitment this season will be fail in the next season.

I think this is the best period for Man UTD to start running to get better players but when it matters most they end up losing the player and now it has to do with Chelsea who are competing for the player Olise which I feel will not want to join UTD, it doesn't matter if ETH has been give a little or larger amount to get new players, all I know is that Manchester United are never getting any top player to join the squad rather they'll lose players from the team.
Before now Chelsea have been hunting to get Olise before he signed a new contract (correct me if I'm wrong) so if he wants something better Chelsea would be the right club for him,. Olise can blend in easily and his partnership with Palmer would be great (that's if Chelsea get his signature).
I believe ETH has been exhausted this season and he needs a little time to think on how he would go about business next season and getting new players, not because they defeated Manchester City that the board have to be selecting better players without minding if they (UTD) have what would attract the players to join the club, for now if things ain't done properly I don't feel we might be seeing new faces, I mean new faces that will elevate the club not teenagers who would go to the EUROPA LEAGUE and disgrace the club, for now ETH need to talk less and act more.

Well, ten hag's future is still remain unclear here since nothing being confirmed by INEOS. Olise needs to step up his career and join in a better club rather than always stay on the palace. Considering how many goals unitec conceded in the EPL this season. They need to sign a new face.
Many clubs will be improving their quality as a preparation for the upcoming season. Thing has been going well in the match against city for united.Let's wait what's gonna be ten hag's plan for his future.

Ten hag has been warned united's management after winning FA cup, if they are not keen in winning more trophies then sack him.

Kudos to Manchester United but again you see, that is a typical example of what the Manchester United is made up. Uncertainty! This season was full of uncertainty for the Manchester United club and sometimes when you expect the best from them, they give you less and when you thought they could do less, they do more. The game against Manchester City was that which many would have thought Manchester City will win but for someone like me, I already had a feeling that Manchester United will win instead and that's what happened.
Manchester United is a team with full of surprises. They were lost to weaker teams with big goals margin, but could win against Liverpool, and now they won the FA cup trophy by beating the favorite Manchester City. Ten Hag and the squad of Manchester United actually have a good quality to compete with top teams, but their problem is maintenance of their form.

The game was a typical of Manchester City playing a weaker team where they dominated the possession but failed to converted chances. Manchester United played it efficient by scoring from fewer chances. This game was always an unpredictable moment when a derby game is played in a cup final.     

Manchester City was overconfident in utilizing a high defensive line to cage United's attacks and this is a very wrong strategy used by guardiola in this game, that could play passively against united and maybe city could win but that's also goalkeeper's mistake. The biggest issue was Ortega's nervousness when his opponent approached and going even closer to him.. It was clear that Ortega did not have much confidence in this game and i think that if things have been changing so fast for him. His error enabled United to lead through Garnacho's goal.
It's simply a miscommunication between him and Gvardiol. I'm still not sure why Pep doesn't use four backs instead of three caused by using 4 backs is much more effective in order to strengthen city's defensive lines. Pep was overconfident, believing United was a weak opponent.

This is why Manchester United was able to increase their lead versus City with two goals and keep these momentum till the full time. Finally, United did not become a trophyless team this season. It is also headed to the Europa League.This is unfortunate since Newcastle has no place to play in European competition and it surprises me. Newcastle may sack its coach as soon as possible. Im still hoping a miracelt to happen with united.
Even Chelsea declined to join the Conference League.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 26, 2024, 02:27:22 AM


Still, we will not consider Manchester United weak, but we know Manchester United performance this season is too bad because they failed to maintain their consistency to stay in the top 4 rankings like last season. For Erik Ten Hag, the final match was definitely quite difficult because they faced one of the best and strongest teams at the moment.
We will watch Pep Guardiola and Erik Ten Hag in the final match where these two coaches will provide effective tactics to bring their team to the championship title.

The final match will be unpredictable. On paper, City are clearly the favorites because they want to get a double after previously being eliminated in the Champions League. City also have good squad depth and have quality players above United. But I think we can't underestimate Manchester United. It was surprising when they achieved such a poor result against Coventry. They drew after United took the lead with a 3-0 lead. But the final match will certainly be different. United will go all out. They don't want to waste the opportunity to get at least one trophy this season.

Unbelievable outcome. I never expected Manchester City to lose by a close margin against Manchester united in this game, some serious mistakes being made by city's goal keeper and defnder. The mistake committed by Ortega has also revealed the distinction between Ortega and Ederson since ederson is much more calmly in decision making. Ederson made far less mistakes than Ortega. This is why Pep was not using Ortega as the primary goalkeeper and always try to use ederson as main goal keeper.
An error that could cost the club the trophy. Good luck to the city next time. This season marks the return of MU to the Europa League and it was also making chelsea goes to the conference league. Things were going so well for Ten Hag's team until Ortega made a huge error by going up front.

Gvardiol has failed to communicate with City's goalkeeper. It wouldn't be a goal unless Ortega was moving up. We'll see what INEOS's decision is for ten hag.
Ten Hag was supposed to be fired after failing to win the FA Cup. Things have been going really nicely for United in the late game.

16  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If all your wages were paid in USDT, would you accept it? on: May 25, 2024, 02:54:22 AM
Not sure if I can handle accepting all my wages in bitcoin because I need funds for our daily expenses that I only take from my dayjob(my investments are all in crypto and not to be spent for some time)


Maybe I need to have settlement at least half of my wage is for USDT and half is for Fiat because that USDT will be ready for my investment each time.


usually USDT is just few steps away from fiat anyway you use binance already you can easily convert it to fiat also you don't really get inflicted by the volatility that may affects the value of the money you receive.
so its basically the same but probably for some people that just don't care about investing in crypto they prefer to skip such steps and get fiat directly instead.

I was talking from the point of view of someone who earns in EURO and would either get fiat money or USDt. In such case I'd rather take EUR since I have plenty of BTC and would rather hold that and spend my fiat. Spending EUR here is much easier and cheaper than converting USDt through an exchange since I'd have to pay additional fee on that.

This is probably because Western countries are becoming more cashless every day. I guess more than 85% of people do not carry cash anymore and use cards everywhere. But in my country, more than 85% of people carry cash, and not all the shops accept card payments. So, even if I get it in fiat, I still have to visit an ATM and withdraw my funds to spend it.

Sometimes, we get a better exchange rate from those exchanges, and most of the time, banks pay the worst rate when we exchange money from USD to our local currency. This should explain why our locals prefer USDT over USD.
yeah the pain point is in the conversion rate and fees if our local currency is different than the currency used to issue stablecoin we might better off having the fiat directly to our bank account.
but eventually I think most of currency in this world gonna have their stablecoin version in the future probably thats gonna be the case knowing the market cap of USD stablecoin is so massive.

moreover some the APY offered by the exchange above so small that it doesn't really matter but if your capital reached 7 figure then the profit will be worth it, but at that point will you be willing to stake your money in these exchanges with all the risk of collapse?
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Memecoin specifically for holders.. on: May 24, 2024, 10:44:14 AM
Even though currently many memecoins have been created with various kinds of offers, for now I still really believe in Doge Coin and Shiba Inu, because these Memcoins have been proven to be able to survive and can even provide big profits for their holders, even until  These two memcoins can compete with altcoins, in my opinion doge coin and shiba inu are very special memecoins,
most of new meme coin don't have the ability to compete with these two meme coin you mentioned in term of FDV anyway, most of them just got half billion then tanked to sub half billion probably around $100 million even then thats already awesome enough as an achievement don't you think? thats why the market of meme coin sniping still as crowded as ever people trying to find that 1 in a thousand chance of being rich overnight.
which we all know sometime the probability might even be lower than that which sometime even sniping all the meme coin in the dex still results nothing.

but some people are so eager indeed to find that chance.
after all, where else you find the chance of just investing $100 and suddenly it becomes $100k the next day.
but people generally consider that as too dreamy.
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is the largest meme coin ever? on: May 24, 2024, 10:37:31 AM
By now I was hoping that the end of meme coins should come. Yet there are more and more meme coins coming every day and the interesting part is that regardless of the hype people are still investing in them believing in them more than any branches of altcoins. Memecoins existed before the metaverse, defi, and NFTs projects. They have had low adoption in recent times except for meme coins, thoroughly I come to believe that meme coin will last for a long time. And when it involves investing in altcoins, meme coins are worth investing because same way they have high risk its the same way most of them has the potential to do great and make so many investors reach who invested in them at an early stage.
meme coin narrative won't go away anytime soon.
even though there are certain people that pessimistic with meme coin because you know its a meme coin and many deemed that this niche don't have any place in the market but quite funny enough its the category that usually have the bigger price rise there is in the bullrun season around.
pretty sure people that know what they are doing with meme coin could make a lot of profit, this coin has all the trading volume and all required to take benefit of the price fluctuation.
but for people who don't have idea, it might become a disaster since they probably gonna choose rather the worst meme coin just to chase that chance of market cap massive gain.

Personally, I go with Short term trading of Altcoins. I rebalance my portfolio while constantly monitoring the market with the help of AI and make my trades based on the data I receive and what I see myself. Its been working really well for me as well.
yeah specially memecoins that is hard to trust for long term because there are lots of thing
that we must consider , there are top coins that we can consider good for long term like bitcoin
but the problem is that only few that is best for this.for me better to consider bitcoin for long
term and at least Ethereum down to top 20 coins and aside from that? nothing that I can add
more.
meme coin mostly hard to hold for long term since they usually lost value, but i'm only talking about meme coin that never make it to the big exchange though.
the ones that make it to the big exchange usually can hold pretty good for long term, yes i'm talking about doge, shib, pepe, and even the newer meme coin wif. they make it to the big exchange and they for sure keeping that market capitalization that is quite big compared to normal altcoins.

so its rather depends on our selective strategy against these meme coin if we ever think of investing in them.
though i will only put very small amount of money to meme coin because its a roller coaster ride with meme coin.
i prefer altcoin more for trading, because if an altcoin with good product dumping so hard only fraction of value left as long as team keep giving out update to their product it has the chance of recovery.
like how jito was dumping so hard now it come back.
