661  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: May 05, 2023, 04:32:09 PM
The strength of these two teams is relatively balanced but I am sure that Roma will be able to win the 1st leg which will be held at the Olimico. The Jose Mourinho factor is clearly more of a consideration for the Giallorossi, he has qualified experience in Europe but it also depends on the Roma squad in which the match is played, meaning that none of Roma's mainstay players are seriously injured.
I agree that two teams have same quality but I disagree that AS Roma will surely win at their home stadium. A home stadium is an advantage for the host team but it brings pressure to their players too. Because of similar player quality, anything can happen at home stadium or home-away stadium. Just a mistake from player or referee or an excellent strike from one player can decide its result.

Quote
Roma's seriousness was seen when they played the second leg when they were able to beat Feyenoord into extra time. In normal times, Mourinho's men almost had to bury their dreams, but The Special One was able to motivate his troops to catch up and force their visitors to recognize the greatness of Roma. Alonso certainly has to learn from the number of games played by Roma, otherwise he will become the next victim of Mourinho's cunning.
If you use the match with Feyenoord as an example, you should say how Roma were very close to a defeat in that match. Dybala saved them with a late goal and in extra halfs, they suddenly destroyed Feyenoord but in 90 minutes, that match was very equal for both teams.

Mourinho is more experienced than Xabi Alonso and Roma will have to hope that Mr. Special will choose a good tactics, good squad to help Roma gaining advantage from the first leg match.

I have read on the forum how Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading has changed people's lives
Changing people's lives in what way? Positive or negative, what did you get from your reading?

Quote
and I am kind of interested in acquiring skills, I have read in many other threads on how risky Bitcoin trading is.
If you see trading Bitcoin is risky, why do you want to involve in trading?

Quote
But at this point, I will really like to know whether or not Bitcoin trading is a means to gain profits during market speculations, and how possible it is to make passive income through cryptocurrency trading.
Trading Bitcoin is a mean to gain profit as well as a mean to have loss.

You win, another lose as in trading, it is a zero sum game. Same total capital but it flows in the market, from you to another, from your wallet to another wallet of someone else.

And you won't have passive income by trading as you have to seriously trade with knowledge and time spent for it. It's not passive.
663  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin network fee, worrying sign? on: May 05, 2023, 01:35:20 PM
Sorry for another topic about the recent issue going related to bitcoin network congestion but I really want to know that Bitcoin ordinals so called NFTs is really going to change the fee required for the transaction in the future?
There will be more changes and upgrades for Bitcoin. Don't worry.

Before any upgrade comes, make your plans to consolidate your small inputs and make your necessary transactions whenever fee rate is cheap for you.

Quote
Because I didn't witness such kind of clog since 2017 but by that time there is no segwit, exchanges are clogging the network purposely and so on but later for so many years the fee issue isn't really there but all of a sudden we have to pay over 100 sats for over transaction to get into the block may create a bad image and it will create the FUD and may initiate the price drop.
Segwit did not have good adoption since its appearance in 2017. I recalled that Segwit only started to use more since 2019 and at least back in that year, some campaign managers in bitcointalk began to force their participants to use Segwit address for receiving payments.

However, Segwit adoption globally increased one or two years after what happened in Bitcointalk.
664  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin trading be my sole source of income? on: May 05, 2023, 01:29:27 PM
As a young person, I am overwhelmed by my curiosity in trading Bitcoin, but I'm not sure if it is appropriate for me to resign my white collar work and return to trading exclusively Bitcoin.
With Bitcoin, you should start with investment that means holding it long time to take profit. To hold your bitcoins and don't be liquidated, margin called, self shake your hands, you must invest with your own money, not borrow money from someone to do that.

If you start with trading, you will take big risk and very possibly you will end with failure, debt and your life will not be easy.

Only trading if you have profit from investment and after have a few years in this market especially after you experience two years of Bitcoin bear market in its market cycle which is 4 years.
665  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is the transaction fee and mempool congestion increasing ? on: May 03, 2023, 02:40:33 PM
Why did you not opt in to RBF? Silly not to, especially when the mempool is as it is. RBF would allow you to bump the fee at any time. As it stands, your options are to either wait for the mempool to empty down to 6 sats/vbyte, or if that hasn't happened within 14 days, then you correct in saying your transaction will drop.
Replace-by-Fee is chosen by a software wallet default if I am right.

So why the user did turned it off in the past? I am not sure what is a reason to turn it off. With RBF opt-in, we can bump the fee rate any time we want to do that. Without that opt-in, the only option left is Child-Pay-For-Parents which is more complicated than RBF.

Why did you try to connect S&P 500 as well as golden cross from it to Bitcoin?

Bitcoin does not have two years in red continuously and that is its history. If you believe that history won't be broken, this year will be in green. A next year will be a halving year and again with history, halving year is great for bitcoin as well as one year after that.

I will consider about Bitcoin history as it is more important than what's happening with S&P500.

It's hard to guess the final result later. They are just as strong, they have excellent stats. Although I support Real Madrid, I also have doubts. The reason is because Man City were very strong today. They have an incredible Haaland. Pep and Man City have tried to win the UCL but they have always failed. Today they had a great chance of winning and getting to the final. I feel very confident that one of the winners of this match will be the UCL champion this season.
It is very hard to predict a winner because I really believe that the winner will be decided by very slim difference between two clubs. Just like their matches in the past season, until very last minutes of 90 minutes, nobody thought Real Madrid could bring Manchester City to extra halfs. By some last magic minutes, Real Madrid did it, brought the opponent to extra halfs and won it after all in surprise as well as disappointment of Manchester City.

I am thinking of a similar scenario in this season as they are both very strong and not much different in quality. Their squads are full of star players who can have fantastic moments to decide final result.

I don't want to say that something like that will happen here, because Guardiola is also a very experienced coach and in this tournament he went very far with different teams, so in this case it is not worth talking about the advantage in experience.
Pep Guardiola is a smart coach but he has never won any Champions League after his departure from Barcelona. He still needs to prove to everyone that he can win Champions League with other clubs. So far he failed from Bayern Munich to Manchester City, which is a serious failure for his career but he can change it, maybe in this season. Again, he and Manchester City are very closely to Champions League final.

Hardware wallets are not safe in and of themselves, or because there is an in-built security feature that protects its users, hardware wallets are safe because they store the owners keys offline, and when the keys are offline it is impossible for an attacker to steal it.
With hardware wallets, your private keys will not be exposed to the Internet so that it will keep your coins safely from threats which can steal your coins. With hardware wallets, you can broadcast your transaction, sign it without leaking your private key.

Quote
But a hardware wallet isn't just safe on its own, the owner must have great operational security, they must back up the seed phrase generated from the hardware wallet and ensure the physical device is also kept in a safe place and always encrypted with a PIN.
This is about other things like wallet backups which are vital for you when you need to recover your wallets. It belongs to a hardware wallet user and his practice. If a user is careless, does not make wallet backups, and lose his coins because of unable to recover his wallets, it is not responsibility of that hardware wallet producer.

If you build up a good lock but the buyer who buys that lock for his house but leaves the key in front of thief eyes, it is not your responsibility if that house is invaded by a thief.
669  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Sentimental analysis explained! on: May 02, 2023, 08:54:46 AM
Does Sentimental analysis work?

Yes, it does if used rightly, and I'd used it before getting to my present state in trading. All you need is to find the right channels for your information and you will be fine. The people using this analytical type can collect as much as possible data for a particular asset before they eventually use the ones with the highest number or percentage in a particular direction as their chosen signal/bias.
You can only use Sentimental analysis well if you understand about the Psychology of market well too.

Fundamentals are things to help Bitcoin gaining its value and growing with time, getting more widely recognition and adoption. Fundamentals are for long term.

Sentimental or psychological factors will impact the market and price in short term and mid term. You must understand it to avoid panic, fear, uncertainty and be weak in this volatile market. When you understand the market psychology, you will be able to have diamond hands as well as be able to take advantage of panic sell.
670  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Binance sees a large uptick in the amount of BTC held on their exchange on: April 30, 2023, 12:51:38 PM
It could well be for the Binance EARN program, consisting of staking and liquidity farming. Confidence could have been rebuilt here indeed as Binance managed some of the rumors quite well when a lot has been withdrawn from their exchange. I think a lot of those who engaged in those EARN activities considered the opportunity cost too high in case something goes wrong. Now that it seems to have stabilized, they obviously reconsider depositing again.
They just believe in Binance again after they witness that exchange successfully proceeded billion of dollar in user withdrawals in late of 2022 and early of 2023 under many fuds. Binance by their smooth withdrawal process and good solvent liquidity for their users, just reclaimed their trust after fud attacks.

Those programs can not help Binance if they fail to proceed withdrawals for their users in latest months when cryptocurrency investors were very panic after collapse of FTX exchange (insolvency) and some bank collapses.

They need to always keep this Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts in their minds.
671  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Too many bills killing crypto on: April 29, 2023, 06:28:27 PM
If they did not or were not able to kill Bitcoin and cryptocurrency market in 2009 or a few years later when this ecosystem was very small and more easily to be eliminated, how will they succeed now and in future?

This ecosystem has become bigger considerably in the last few years and it has invaded into traditional finance markets as well as politics. I believe it has reached to a point to exist forever and it won't be eliminated by any bill, dozen of bills, a single country or many countries.

Bills are not bad and some bills might have positive contribution for cryptocurrency ecosystem. I know if you think negatively, you will always see the world like this and future for cryptocurrency like this.

One thing I think you guys should understand is that, no matter how good a service a casino provide, there will always be some group of people that still will be dissatisfied, and it doesn't matter the reputation of the casino, and this is something that is very common in businesses outside the internet
It is not about satisfaction from a single user or group of users. It is about a casino's rules (terms of service) and how they fulfill it for their users. If their rules are clear, and they don't break their own terms of service when they are serving their users, I am sure their reputation will be intact even there are people who don't satisfy with it. They have reasons to not satisfy but it is not issue of the casino itself.

Quote
as a business man myself, I've always tried my best to provide the best of service to all my customers, no matter how small or big their money is, but some person still find one or two reasons to complain - exactly why they said, human beings can never be satisfied.
Complain is everywhere and by many reasons and you can not satisfy all your friends or all your customers. It is just keeping your promise of what you provide to your customers.

Do you think reading too many news is good?

I don't think it is good and it can affect your emotion, psychology then decision will be affected with more news you read.

Rather than reading news, I think you can do a better thing, reading on-chain data, charts and reports like from Glassnode, Glassnode Insights.
Glassnode: https://glassnode.com/
Glassnode Insights: https://insights.glassnode.com/

Or Coinmetrics.io Insights, State of the market: https://coinmetrics.io/insights/

News can be faked and you can not verify it is faked, fud or not but on-chain data can be verified.
674  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Adopt Bitcoin or keep Experiencing same Challenges with Banks on: April 29, 2023, 11:47:10 AM
Challenges with banks are different than challenges with Bitcoin and cryptocurrency and their market. They are clearly not same challenges from legal, regulatory aspect as well as adoption.

Bank industry has longer history than Bitcoin, cryptocurrency industry and there are more laws, regulations on it. With Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, there are less available laws and regulations as well as more grey areas in this field.

I consider it in a positive view, there are more challenges, there are more chances for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

Look at HODL waves, you will see that many Bitcoin holders fail to hold their bitcoins too long.

If you are interesting in, you can look at more detailed charts for different amount of hold bitcoins and how stats change with time.
1+ year hold wave
5+ years hold wave

If it is too general, you can check five charts for 0.1+ BTC, 1+ BTC, 10+ BTC, 100+ BTC, 1000+ BTC. Those charts are freely given by Lookintobitcoin.

If you can hodl more than 5 years and one month, you are surely in profit. It is based on past data from https://hodl.camp/

Roobet.com and Jackbit.com sent my money after calling them out in their threads.

The wild.io scam and Stake persist to scam me, but Stake will not get away with it. Wink
I'm not trying to defend wild.io because their trustworthiness is still questionable, but I really know if Stake isn't a scam casino and I believe you did wrong in their casino. Roobet and Jackbit might don't want to argue too much with you, so they choose to give your money to make you shut up.

It doesn't looks good when you have 2 negative feedback in your profile, no one will trust your words.
I don't know about customer care and reputation of Wild.io but if a user had many problems in the past with Roobet, Stake.com which are highly trusted gambling sites, it means something about that user activity as well as compliance to the service he used.

I am unsure about Jackbit but with only Roobet and Stake cases, it is enough to have suspicious thinking. I know Jackbit was there for a while and did not see scam accusation about them except BlackyJacky case if I am right.
677  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading or investment! What's your take? on: April 27, 2023, 10:58:31 PM
Often time I met saying I'm into trading I don't do investment, on the other some I'm into investment, trading is on a very high risk demands.
It is a trap.

If you are rich, you don't trade but will choose investment instead.
If  you are poor, you are more keen on trading as you think it is a way to help you get rich more quickly than investment.

Fact is painful, you are poor and get poorer by trading and worse your life will have lower quality as you have to be affected from stress by trading.
The rich get richer by investment and their life is happy as they don't have stress from trading.
If you can be good in investing, then why not learn to be skillful in trading too. After all, if you’re doing good both in it
Even so, you have to be good in capital management as if you use your investment capital and switch it to trading, you will probably lose most of it.

I am doubtful that if you are a successful investor, you can be a good trader.
678  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: April 27, 2023, 10:49:53 PM
sevilla is favourite for the cup, beating the best team in the cup and getting to the far, means that they are favourite, juventus is another contender.  both team can meet in the finals. they have been outstanding in the league. but i wish Sevilla wins
They already have 6 Europa League trophies and they are a big name in Europa League. In this season Sevilla don't have their best performances in La Liga and Europa League but when the season comes to its ending, they likely are getting their best back. The big win against Manchester United in quarter final sounds like their alarm to Juventus and other three clubs that Sevilla are really ready to win Europa League again.

Apart from that, Roma vs Leverkusen will be more interesting to follow because Alonso will provide an interesting achievement for Leverkusen if he is able to bring Leverkusen through to the final. Meanwhile, jose mourinho is a coach full of experience that can make this match colored with a pretty hot atmosphere.
Leverkusen did have bad months before the appearance of Xabi Alonso at their coach position which helped them to improve and have a very good impressive streak in Bundesliga. These matches between AS Roma and Leverkusen will be first times Xabi Alsonso faces with Jose Mourinho as coach fighting so it would be interesting for both of them.

Against Juventus in the semi finals, Sevilla will play the with the belief that they're good enough to challenge anyone in the competition and still win comfortably. But when we talk about quality of players and which team has a better chance to progress to the finals o think Juventus does. I'll go with Juve just a bookmakers
Juventus have better quality as they have more star players and in reality, with real performances and results, Juventus have better position in Serie A than Sevilla in La Liga. We are all aware that Sevilla just moved beyond the relegation zone in latest weeks but they still need to maintain good performances in remaining matches to be safe and not be relegated after all.

Quality of players are different but not too considerable between two clubs. I don't think it will help Juventus too much in semi finals.
