1061  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is buying BTC now, the best option ??? on: April 08, 2023, 03:09:31 PM
You are right that you lose nothing unless you sell bitcoin at a loss. But many people invest the money they might need at any time. That is, money that cannot be risked. Cryptocurrencies are attractive because it creates the illusion that you can get rich quick just by buying coins. But when the market starts to fall, most sell at a loss.
That's called a wrong investment strategy, there are no cases of loss when people know the best way to invest, buying and holding bitcoins until they reach the desired target is the best way to achieve profits, if after the buying process the market has decreased, then it's just a matter of waiting for the next price increase.

That's why many people say bitcoin is the best asset for the long term and losses depend on how one understands the market, unless people invest in other coins and it's hard to see the same moment as often happens in bitcoin. Basically investing in bitcoin is very easy, but many people misunderstand market conditions and are not used to falling prices, so in these conditions they try to make the wrong decisions.
Yes, bitcoin is probably the best investment option among cryptocurrencies. But as you said, you need to learn to understand market conditions first, which can take years. During that time, you usually make a lot of mistakes, which can be called experience. And only after that comes the understanding of your actions. For example, market manipulation encourages you to buy bitcoin when it is expensive. But for some reason few people talk about cryptocurrency at all now, because no one wants to make everyone rich.

If we keep thinking the time isn't right then we will never buy, I think it's better to buy immediately with the money we can consider lost, then hold until the profit target can be achieved, many people always hope to buy cheap, but when the price is cheap comes so they think keep waiting then the price goes up and he regrets it then hopes to buy again when the price is low.

People with the mentality that the time isn't right are always procrastinators and they don't achieve anything in life. If you buy now and the market dumps, it doesn't mean you're in loss. You can only lose when you sell your coins in losses but if you hold your Bitcoin until the bull market returns then you'll be back profit. Holders never lose and it's less riskier than trading.

Investors that have developed the habit of holding are the most successful people in Bitcoin history. Not even the traders comes close to their success. You might never see Bitcoin at the price it is today again so why not buy now that it's trading for this low or do you want to panic and buy when the fomo is high during the bull market.

1063  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can Solana hit $40 this year? on: April 07, 2023, 02:26:49 PM
Solana’s problem is that the price was completely manipulated upward by the FTX fraud in order to give him more collateral to take on loans. It would be completely worthless now if it didn’t build a good sized developer community. It seems like most of the funny money was washed out of the system so maybe it will start to see solid growth going forward. The ATH was totally fake though.
Indeed, solana's problem was that they had a close association with FTX and the pumping was fake. But if you consider any other coin, it turns out that pumping is artificial everywhere. The main point with solana is the fact that they managed to survive the collapse of FTX. You are probably right that after that the project has prospects for growth.
1064  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will pump soon? Lower interest rates in june. on: April 07, 2023, 01:54:00 PM
Although bitcoin has had an impressive 50% recovery since the bottom, in the end, we all still don't know what will happen in the future. What we can do is stay calm and hold on no matter what happens.

I do not spread Fuds, but I am not as optimistic about the market as many are expecting. I believe this year, there will still be some tremors that make people panic again. Players have become smarter, the market will not be able to move so predictably. If the market continues to recover from now on and there is no correction, then we will have millions more millionaires created in the next bull season.
I think "bitcoin recovering 50% from the bottom" is actually what we know about the future. I mean I get that it is not a guarantee or anything like that, I get that you are not entirely sure, but isn't that increase tells you anything? I personally believe that if you end up buying bitcoin at this current stage, and then wait for it for a year or two, then you are going to profit from this.

To me, this is a fact, not something that may happen, not something that is potentially good, it is something that is a fact to me that if you buy now and hold for 2 years you will profit. This is why I do not agree that we do not know what the future will be like, I sort of know already and buying because of that.

What we are talking about is the short and medium term for this year, so I would say nothing is certain, and the future is unpredictable. But to talk about the long term or the future of bitcoin in the years to come, as a bitcoin investor, I always believe in bitcoin as well as my choice. Even if the new ATH doesn't happen after the next halving, I still believe in bitcoin, I never want bitcoin to go bad because it's my choice and it's profitable for me.
Do you believe in bitcoin or its value in dollars? How does bitcoin benefit you? I think most people here just want to get rich just by buying bitcoin. Because everyone believes that if it happened to people ten or even five years ago, it will happen to them again in the near future. But I think it's too complicated because bitcoin's capitalization is already very big. I guess you and I just have to use bitcoin.
1065  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 07, 2023, 11:31:14 AM
I think is a tricky night for Serie A as the three games should be won by the favorites with a bit of a question for Inter game as they are not winning from 5 consecutive games and Salernitana also is having a good run with 4 draws consecutively even against good teams but overall I think Inter should turn things around tonight and win their game.

For Napoli I have no doubts they are going to crush Lecce and also Milan should win against Empoli,so these two games put in a parlay should be a good option to make some money or to double the stake as the odd should be just 2 or a bit more.
I have no doubts about Milan and Napoli, but about Inter and Salernitana I am not so sure. Salernitana have not lost their last five games, although four of them have been drawn. Inter, on the other hand, have not won any of their last five games and have lost three of them. Therefore, I think this game could easily be a draw. Inter are playing worse and are in danger of being relegated from Europe.
1066  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Doge can it go 1$ on: April 07, 2023, 09:26:30 AM
considering current value of doge, of course it could reach that high but here's the thing, this scenario will only happen if elon is shilling hard for it, but even that doesn't necessarily means elon would be successful in raising the value of doge, it needs money from somewhere, and considering the state that doge in currently, it could never make any innovation due to limited capability of its blockchain so it should make L2 with smart contract.
Elon Musk has done his surprise by putting the Doge logo on Twitter which obviously made a surprise with the price increase but once again the surprise couldn't last long, it only happened for a moment. I think you are right, if really want Doge to have significant changes, encouragement is needed, not only with words but also with a lot of funds so that you can give injections so that Doge can be encouraged, or make innovations that can make many investors believe more. but once again to be able to reach $ 1 is not an easy thing that can be done by elon musk.
Elon Musk is a whale of a doge. It is therefore no surprise to me that he is trying to manipulate the price in every way possible. But he does this solely in his own interests. He doesn't care about the community. There is a theory that he made a lot of money on the last pump to make the loan payment to buy Twitter. Otherwise it's hard to explain why he changed the logo for just a few days. And why the price dropped a lot again.
1067  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: April 07, 2023, 08:16:13 AM
Strasbourg is a team which scores a lot of goals and can put any team in difficulty,both Monaco and Paris had a lot of difficulties to win against Strasbourg and both conceded goals.I am not saying that Lens will not win but surely it won't be that easy and the odd of 1.5 seems a bit low.I can understand the bookies though as one win from Lens during tonight game will put a lot of pressure on Paris as they will be just 3 points behind Paris with this win so a lot of different factors to consider in this game before placing a bet,nevertheless I have placed little money on a Lens win.
I also think Lens will beat Strasbourg tonight, because it's a very important match for them and they must get three points to try and top the standings. But Strasbourg are really not an easy opponent, although they are below the middle of the standings. Their last game against Monaco was very good and could have ended in a draw. They also recently drew with Marseille. It will probably be a tough match for Lens.
1068  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Banks are collapsing. Will Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies rise from here?? on: April 06, 2023, 08:08:13 PM
Collapsing few banks will not help people to invest more in crypto. Whatever happens older generation is still believe in fiat and banks. So never compare fiat and crypto as same. They are different era always. Also people who need money asap will never invest in crypto or stocks as Robert Kiyosaki said.  Wink
The older generation does not have much confidence in banks either. But here such people may even be in the majority, but they will not be able to decide anything. It is the people who will want to save capital from the banking crisis who decide. Such people have huge fortunes and if they see cryptocurrencies as a safe haven, it will trigger a new era for cryptocurrencies.
They may not have too much love or respect towards banks, or even bankers, but they do not have any other option and do not favor it all that much neither. Imagine it like a hostage situation, they feel like they have no other options and forced to use banks and that's the trouble basically for all of them.

I believe that we shouldn't be worried like that ourselves because we know about bitcoin and crypto which means that we do not "need" banks. It is still easier to use them for many payments so I still use one unfortunately, but I am waiting for the day when I can use bitcoin for everything and never have to cash anything out at all and never use fiat or banks.
And you can be completely sure that banks are doing everything they can so that day does not come, even right now people are depending on the banks to buy bitcoin, as the majority of them are using centralized exchanges and the money on their bank accounts to obtain cryptocurrencies, however if the majority of us could bypass them and acquire almost everything we want easily and without any inconvenience by using our bitcoin directly then the monopoly of banks over the economy will be no more.
I guess you could say we are really lucky that we know about cryptocurrencies and how to use them. When I travel, I just need to have my crypto wallet and smartphone with me so that I can feel comfortable in almost any country. But I still need to convert the cryptocurrency into national currency in order to do so. True, I don't have to declare at customs the amount of currency I take out of the country, which is also very convenient.
1069  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins dead? on: April 06, 2023, 02:19:06 PM
That Bitcoin is alive doesn't guarantee that every other altcoins will survive. I have witnessed this phase we are in many times, it's more like a new altcoin lifecycle. Many altcoins that have nothing to offer or that are not well developed will surely die while new set of altcoins with utility will be developed and come to dominate. If you must invest in altcoins it will be better to consider new and promising projects.

Existing altcoins are often replaced by new ones as people move on to the next big thing in crypto (except some old ones that are still "delivering the goods"). If you get into altcoins, don't expect your investment to last unlike Bitcoin. They're only good for short-term profits. Every bull market is an opportunity to sell altcoins for a profit, so I'd suggest you buy the dip now to achieve peace of mind in the near future.

No matter which altcoin comes out at the top, none can replace Bitcoin as the leading cryptocurrency in the world. Not even ETH has come close to BTC in terms of mainstream adoption and market dominance. Who knows which will be the next altcoins to take over existing ones in the future? Just my thoughts Grin
Bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrencies, Ethereum is the king of altcoins. But I'm not sure ETH won't overtake bitcoin in terms of market capitalisation. I have concerns that sooner or later that might happen, because there is a lot built on ETH. It's probably going to be bitcoin's number one for me and you forever. But looking at how the States are lobbying for Ethereum and there is heavy censorship of the network, it seems to me that bitcoin has a competitor. But I hope that doesn't happen.
1070  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Doge can it go 1$ on: April 06, 2023, 11:48:41 AM
Doge can go 1$ many people waiting that.

I'm actually not too interested to investing in meme coin and don't really care, but I still believe that the price of Doge can reach $1, because of the huge popularity of Doge and the cohesiveness of Doge community which is so strong, that makes me sure if in the future the price of Doge can increase to $1.
Today, the price has fallen by 10 % and is around 8-9 cents. It takes a real bull run for a doge to rise to $1. But so far, all the recent pumping from Elon Musk has been cancelled. In other words, it only took a week to get back to the previous price. We probably won't see $1 until a few years from now, after bitcoin is halving. It seems to me that now x2 for a doge would be fine.
1071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: April 06, 2023, 09:40:04 AM
I didn't expect Real Madrid to beat Barcelona either, especially with such a big score without conceding a single goal. I thought that Real Madrid would not try this game because they have a Champions League game coming up. But I was wrong and Real Madrid, particularly Benzema, were able to pull off this incredible win in the Spanish Cup semi-final. It will be interesting to watch their final match against Osasuna in a month's time.
Real Madrid's mentality was very visible in this game, they managed to clear the doubts of many people by winning a landslide victory at Camp Nou.
Benzema became a star by being able to score 3 goals in this EL Clasico match, but I don't think this is a surprise because Real Madrid is a team with very good quality.

there are no other words, other than congrats to say to Real Madrid, they really showed who they really are.
It is probably rightly said that in El Clasico it is difficult to guess who will be the winner of the next match. Last year, it was exactly the opposite when Barcelona beat Real Madrid away with the same score of 4-0. And Real Madrid were in first place in La Liga last year while Barcelona were second by a big gap. This time Real Madrid tried their luck, but it was probably a great effort by Karim Benzema.
1072  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: April 06, 2023, 08:26:55 AM
Real Madrid really deserved the victory, because they didn't allowed Barcelona to score a single goal from the match to prove to people that the injuries some of their players had some months ago that affected some of their potential players not to performed well that gave Barcelona to defeated them 2-1 in the first leg. Real Madrid were able to used all their potential players to played the second leg to defeated Barcelona 4-0 which is a sign that Real Madrid may have something reasonable to achieve in this tournament. Barcelona performance was very poor in this second leg which their coach need to apply some skills that will improve their performance in their remaining matches.
It seems that everyone was surprised by Real Madrid's performance which was able to beat Barcelona in the semi-final second leg of the Copa del Rey. even Barcelona could not reply to a single goal in that match. I don't know what went wrong with Barcelona in this game. but Barcelona's Defense was not what it used to be. they have several gaps that can be exploited by Real Madrid players to create good opportunities. and Benzema also appeared extraordinary in this match. Benzema managed to make a hat trick in this match. and it really exceeded everyone's expectations. because Benzema proved that age is no longer young is not a barrier for him.

1073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: April 05, 2023, 02:02:31 PM
I see no reason to think that Real Madrid will win the title every season. Real Madrid dominated La Liga last season. If Benzema had been in form this season and had not been injured, Madrid would have been able to dominate La Liga. But this season they are not playing well in La Liga. However, Madrid's performance in the Champions League is very good. Since Madrid are far behind Barcelona in La Liga, the Madrid coach is likely to give his full attention to the Champions League match. But I don't think Madrid will lose second place in La Liga. Real Madrid is still a much stronger and more regular team than Atletico Madrid.


Barcelona's victory tonight is not obvious, Real Madrid are a very strong team with broad shoulders
we always remember that he is also facing the Champions League while the Barcelona players are fresh, as they only play in La Liga at a great level
It seems to me that because Real Madrid will soon be playing Chelsea in the Champions League, Barcelona's victory in tonight's El Clasico is more obvious. As you said, Barcelona only play in La Liga and don't need to put in much effort in matches, while Real Madrid must find the strength to play in several competitions at once. Although, for Real Madrid tonight is a good chance to win the Cup since they won't win the league this season.
1074  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you consider Bitcoin the best asset in the world? on: April 05, 2023, 01:15:46 PM
I think bitcoin has promising potential in the future, if we invest now and hold it for at least 20 years then we can become millionaires in the future, many analysts believe the price of bitcoin can reach at least $ 1 million in 10 years and some even say less than 10 years.
No one knows what the future holds. Even if bitcoin is worth a million dollars, perhaps a better investment would be to buy a plot of land. If the world deteriorates, you can always build a house on that plot and grow your own food. For example, if there is a food crisis, which some people are talking about. Although I am sure that having some bitcoins for the future is a smart idea.
1075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 05, 2023, 12:05:30 PM
I think the German Cup matches are different in importance to the Bundesliga matches. It is probably difficult for Bayern to compete in three competitions at once and they favour the Champions League and Bundesliga. I have no other explanation for their loss. Soon we will see how they play against Freiburg again and then we can make conclusions.

I think that the match against Freiburg in the cup yesterday was a very important match for Bayern Munich. So they definitely tried their very best in order to win this match and to advance into the semi final of the DFB cup. Bayern has failed to reach the semi-final of the cup now 3 years in a row, which is quite extraordinary given the fact that Bayern Munich is by far the strongest team of the country. Also they definitely have a squad that has enough quantity and especially quality in order to compete for every title there is.
The reason why Bayern lost yesterday is quite simple. Freiburg defended very well, in the second half the game most of the time looked more like handball than football because Bayern made so much pressure. Still Freiburg stayed calm and defended and then they had the luck of that last minute penalty.
I agree with you that often unpredictable things happen in football. And that Bayern should have won this game. But if you look at other countries, the finals there are often played by clubs who are not at the top of the standings. For example in Italy or Spain 1/2 clubs from the middle of the standings. If the cup was important, maybe the underdogs of the league would not play in the final.
1076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 05, 2023, 09:15:37 AM
I don't really believe in the final result of this match but in fact I have to admit that Bayern Munich did not play well enough in the match even though they had taken the lead earlier through a goal scored by Upamecano but Freiburg played pretty well by being able to equalize fast.

the first defeat for tuchel after he succeeded in the first match when he beat dortmund. a pressure will always come and this is where it starts. I also consider this defeat as a dramatic defeat because they had to struggle in 90 minutes but the defeat came in extra time at the end of the game. Bayern Munich will return to face Freiburg in the future, I think this will be interesting to watch again.
I think the German Cup matches are different in importance to the Bundesliga matches.

bear market only good for those with money to accumulate otherwise it's just full of losses for our investments.
accumulating is great but it does require money beforehand and I'd say not that many are having such money to invest and hold for long, so it's only suited for long term holders.
We are all in this market to learn. Sometimes a lot of mistakes are made in order to learn successfully. Sometimes you have to go through a bear market with huge losses and think that cryptocurrency is a scam. But with time, you learn how to invest properly. You don't have to have a lot of capital to buy coins in a bear market. You just have to sell those coins at the right time and come back to the market in a year or two. Patience is the key.
1078  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: April 04, 2023, 11:11:01 AM
Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid will be in the top three of the points table, it is absolutely certain. However, it is not yet certain which team will occupy the fourth place in the table. Real Sociedad, Real Betis and Villarreal are the three teams with equal chances to finish fourth in the table.

Villarreal is my favourite team for fourth place in the table. I think Villarreal has the best chance of finishing fourth in the table. Sociedad and Betis are ahead though. But their performance is not regular. Sociedad has won just one of their last 5 matches and Real Betis have won just two. On the other hand, compared to these two teams, Villarreal's performance is very good. Villarreal has won 4 of their last 5 matches. Villarreal can qualify for the Champions League if they continue with such a consistent performance.
Atletico madrid was able to keep their distance from the 4th ranked team with a wide difference of 6 points. I think their ranking will be safe enough for a while if they are able to maintain concentration in the upcoming matches.  Rankings 1 and 2 are also unlikely to change as Barcelona as a whole they are the frontrunners for the Laliga title whereas real madrid they will maintain their ranking as best they can for the remainder of the season.

There is only strong competition in 4th place because Real Sociedad is not safe enough for them to secure 4th place because the point width with Betis is only 3 points, of course anything can happen if Sociedad loses in the upcoming matches
I think Atletico Madrid have a chance of competing with Real Madrid for second place in the standings, because Real Madrid are more focused on the Champions League, because in La Liga Barcelona are guaranteed winners. But if Real Madrid continue to play in the Champions League, they will surely make mistakes in La Liga, which could be a chance for Atletico Madrid.
1079  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 04, 2023, 09:38:36 AM
This week again there are important matches that could be decisive for the course of the league. The first match is freiburg-bayern Munich and the second is dortmund-union berlin. Both matches will be between the top 4 teams. Many things will change after these matches. Both the teams in the championship race and maybe leipzig will move up to the 4th place to go to the champions league.
These are not Bundesliga games, but German Cup matches. Therefore, they will not affect the standings in any way. Although they should indeed be interesting, because they are between the leaders of the Bundesliga. By the way, Bayern will face Freiburg twice in a row, today and in four days in the Bundesliga. But they also have a game against Manchester City in the Champions League soon, so I'm not sure Bayern will take any chances against Freiburg.
1080  Economy / Speculation / Re: US Government DUMPING Bitcoin on: April 03, 2023, 02:18:00 PM
I don't think such sales have any effect on the bitcoin price, because the government does not sell coins on the Binance or Coinbase exchanges, which could indeed negatively affect the price. But beyond the exchanges, there are OTC bitcoin trades that many people don't know about and won't know about. I think thousands of bitcoins are regularly bought and sold off-exchanges and that doesn't affect the price in any way.
