1381  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I won £50 - should I use it to buy Bitcoin? on: May 04, 2023, 08:06:08 AM
Although I am a Bitcoin maximalist, I believe that you should diversify your savings as an additional security measure. It is also important to keep some savings in easily realised assets. Bitcoin is great as a long term hedge against inflation, but I don't cosider it to be an easily realised asset. Of course it is a simple matter to sell coins for cash, but its volatility means that it is important to time the sale. The law of maximum perversity states that when you need to sell Bitcoin, its price will be at its lowest ebb. Bank savings accounts can enable you to withdraw funds almost immediately, but the interest rates are low. In view of these facts I decided to purchase some UK National Savings premium bonds last December. These are government bonds that don't pay any interest, but the interest from all of the savers' bonds are placed in a prize pool, and prizes are awarded each month. The prizes range from £25 to £1,000,000. I won £50 in this month's draw, and the money will be paid into my bank account, and it is tax free. Now what should I do with the money? I could use it to buy more bonds, as the minimum purchase amount is only £25. Alternatively I could buy a few Satoshi, as I believe that we will see a sharp rise in the price of Bitcoin later this year, or perhaps early next year. The million pound prize is tempting, but so is the doubling or tripling of the Bitcoin price.

if I was in your position, of course, the choice is very difficult but anyway (tell a little; I have been faced with a case that is almost similar to yours when I win a gamble, will I use the winning money to buy bitcoins or make it capital in multiples, in the end, I make it in 50:50 portions), all your choices are in your control, btw do you not have the plan to share it in 50:50 portions, I think it could be your option if you don't want to feel bad (like my case).

So to reach everyone (beginner gamblers or people who have the potential to become gamblers) needs a warning and also education from the government (especially in countries that legalize gambling) but I see that currently the government's role in educating their citizens is very minimal, they only busy with taxes from gambling but not focused on their citizens who are harmed by gambling addiction (as people who are responsible for citizens, they have no responsibility for gamblers).
Usually there are a seminar or event discuss about gambling addict problem by non profit organizations, usually it will launched in school because it's targeted for young kids. But this make the young kids who not school due to lack of financial will not learn about gambling addict, I think most of gambling addicts are come from uneducated people which lack of financial. So yeah, in order to safe it, all of young kids need to be facilitated by the government to make them school for free.

Back when I was still in college (I spoke for the area of my country), I also joined a non-profit organization for counseling on the negative effects of drug abuse and gambling, but now it seems that the organization has disbanded because it is no longer receiving funding from the authorities. So it's no wonder how many young gambling addicts appear here, it's all because they are not equipped with knowledge about gambling, so they do it without being fully responsible for themselves. In this case, of course, what should be blamed is the lack of attention from the government, but what can be done because the government nowadays is more concerned with their own stomachs and pockets than the younger generation.

ini ni yang paling tidak di sukai, harga meningkat secara berkala lol.

seharusnya sih OP tidak perlu membuat topik baru di thread ini, cukup membuat postingan di topik ini saja >> [EVENT] Meetup dan Diskusi pasti akan tetap mendapatkan perhatian kok.
 
Ku kira bakal ada Ridwan Kamil (Gubernur Jawa Barat) yang akan ikut jadi pembicara pada acara tersebut, ternyata tidak. Padahal Pak Gubernur ikut andil jadi pembicara pada Bitcoin Week yang diadakan di Miami besok tanggal 20 Mei 2023 jam 11 siang waktu bagian Miami. Misalkan Pak Gubernur diundang jadi pembicara di Bitcoin Conference di Bali, mungkin bisa memberikan materi yang lebih banyak mengenai dunia Bitcoin dan Blockchain. Atau juga bisa sharing informasi mengenai pengalamannya mengenai cryptocurrency hingga beliau bisa jadi pembicara pada event Bitcoin Conference di Miami.

Btw, apakah ini tidak terlalu cepat untuk menginformasikan di forum ini? Karena acaranya masih akan berlangsung 5 bulan lagi dari hari ini. Idealnya menurutku untuk event seperti ini setidaknya di bagikan publik antara 1 - 2 bulan sebelum hari H.

menurut saya sih tidak terlalu cepat di share di sini mas, timing nya udah pas, jadi masih ada sempat waktu nabung dikit2 untuk biaya ke sana Grin

btw, dari informasi yang tertera di situs nya masih ada notifikasi "more speakers coming soon" itu berarti pak ridwan kamil punya peluang untuk menjadi pembicara juga.
1384  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which one is important? Knowledge or Experience? Or both in Bitcoin Learning! on: May 03, 2023, 04:00:23 PM
So in conclusion, if you are new and want to learn something about Bitcoin, ask the guy who has a lot of experience. Then it becomes knowledge to yourself. Then applying that knowledge and going through some trials and errors, you can gain the same experience. It is important to learn them both in my opinion. But you need to follow the path of what to do when. That way, I am sure success is guaranteed.

Let me know your thoughts. Or share some of your own experience.

_tjtonmoy

I still remember very well, the person who first introduced me to Bitcoin was my friend, he had known and had experience in Bitcoin for several years at that time (before me), I asked him a lot and fortunately, he always gave me information good and proper and proven that his experience has taught him a lot, then slowly I started to find out about the knowledge (ins and outs) of bitcoin - blockchain technology - cryptocurrency. learning from experienced people is luck imo it's like a new player using an elevator that goes straight to the top, not climbing the stairs slowly.
1385  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mainstream crypto adoption on: May 03, 2023, 03:31:26 PM
I think it's important for cryptocurrencies to use energy wisely to become popular. XGo helps with that by offering features like trading and swapping that don't require energy-heavy mining. It's a good move towards a more sustainable future for crypto.

In my opinion, eco-friendly cryptocurrency is just a marketing word (trick). based on a study, currently, bitcoin mining (the majority) has used sources that are more environmentally friendly,



so if the government claims that the cryptocurrency they create is more environmentally friendly, isn't that just a trick of diversion? other than that people who use cryptocurrency are those who want to be free from government restraint, so using cryptocurrency that the government issues is like "coming out of the lion's cave but entering the crocodile cave"

1387  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stop comparing BTC to FIAT. FIAT is dying every single day. on: May 03, 2023, 01:38:35 PM
it will be difficult to escape from price comparisons, especially since this has been embedded in our minds for a long time, for the needs of exchange or trade between countries, comparisons between local currencies between countries are used, for example, rupiah to USD or rupiah to Poundsterling.

Currently, many people compare the price of Bitcoin to the dollar, so the DCA method was created. However, the thing that needs to change is the mindset of people buying Bitcoins. I have started to change my perspective on the BTC exchange rate to my local currency.

I use the method (currently) the price of 1 bitcoin is equivalent to Rp. 415 million, so when the bitcoin price touches 450 million rupiahs, the bitcoin value strengthens, whereas if the bitcoin price touches 400 million rupiahs, the bitcoin value weakens (essentially I prefer the bitcoin price in front of the fiat price).
1388  Economy / Economics / Re: Effects of Cryptocurrency Adoption on: May 02, 2023, 02:40:39 PM
Hi, I hope your doing well. the way people conduct financial transactionsopening up opportunities for entrepreneurs, and bridging the gap for the unbanked population. The use of cryptocurrencies has the potential to revolutionize remittances, cross-border transactions, and access to financial services, empowering entrepreneurs to innovate and grow their businesses.
...
Cryptocurrency adoption varies in size, from retail investors to merchants and financial service businesses.
Vietnam has the highest level of cryptocurrency adoption, with China and Nigeria engaging in cryptocurrency-based trade due to foreign exchange policies.

increasing the adoption of cryptocurrency in Vietnam is inseparable from the important role of the government there, even local Vietnamese crypto exchanges (remitano) have experienced a surge in users in recent months. in the future it is predicted that the adoption will continue to increase but the homework of the Vietnamese government is how to educate about crypto currency to residents in villages who do not know anything about technology and cannot even access internet or electricity.

In Venezuela and Brazil, legacy financial systems' costs and bureaucracy drive people to experiment with and switch between different cryptocurrencies.

Many countries on the American continent have tried their luck with cryptocurrencies and even Venezuela (since the fall of their currency) has started experimenting with CBDC. in brazil itself, adoption of cryptocurrencies continues to increase, so it's no wonder that in the future we might hear that brazil is the country with the largest adoption of cryptocurrencies on the american continent.
1389  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The two ways to invest in bitcoins. on: April 30, 2023, 09:03:33 PM
...
Buying small occasionally, otherwise known by the name of dollar cost averaging - This is method that is advised for people who are not rich, and who do not have enough money to buy big. I think if you have enough money to buy big and follow up with buying small amounts, but you just decide to buy small amounts regularly, you are not doing the best for yourself. 

for investors and people who have the potential to become investors, this method is the most recommended (buying bitcoins regularly with the DCA method), because you can manage your expenses properly and stably, besides that no one knows what will happen in the future In the future, when you have an urgent problem, you will not rush to sell the bitcoins that you have.

the best way to secure the future is with good financial cash flow management.
1390  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will the price gets to $60k this year? on: April 30, 2023, 08:41:08 PM
Since the bull is gradually rising, I'd it will reduce the level of inflation controls and policies that will favour the bulls. It will encourage more buy by investors and big time entrepreneurs, surprisely this year bitcoin would have records more subscribers and price stabilities. Looking at many countries revolution of bitcoin like New Zealand, US, El Salvador, China, Africa and so on, if this countries can possibly readjust policies to favour bitcoin by mid year, it will experience excess rising.

But the question is; is it possible for bitcoin to reach $60k by this year? No serious bulls happening currently and if it continues in this little increase probably it will not get anywhere close to $60k. Share your views.

There is a lot of confusion and predictions scattered in the market about whether the price of bitcoin will touch ATH or create a new ATH this year, but you need to know that in bitcoin there is a 4-year cycle called halving and usually (learn from previous bitcoin price history) a few months before the halving occurred, the price of bitcoin had increased greatly, it is estimated that the next bitcoin halving will be next year, so it is very likely that bitcoin will create new ATH again before this year ends.

so if asked when is the best time to buy bitcoin, of course the answer is now because bitcoin is below its previous ATH price.
1391  Economy / Economics / Re: My predictions for next decades world economics on: April 30, 2023, 02:06:48 PM
...
I have a lot more to say about everything but i just mentioned main points.

Merit If you like it Smiley LET me know ur opinion about this prediction.

AI would predict the Same things becouse it's all calculated events.

I don't know where your idea came from but third world war? are you sure this will happen, now all UN countries have united for peace and will not let 1 country start a third world war because a third world war in today's era will be the end of humanity (due to the use of nuclear and other advanced weapons).

other than that regarding the economic crisis that people say will happen, it won't be too bad, your fears don't make sense, many countries have learned from bad experiences about the economic crisis that has happened, so just focus on your family and multiply your investment assets (focus on bitcoin).
1392  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How useful is Bitcoin to the youth? on: April 30, 2023, 09:59:25 AM

Youth are interested in Bitcoin because it's easy to work with if you understand the ntrigrity also it's a way to make money, over time BTC has risen, and with this, the youth may be interested in a way to do business digitally.
We need to talk more about the benefit of Biticion in other to attract more youth because the majority do not know how this coin works.


Young people are future world leaders so with more and more young people who believe and believe in bitcoin, mass adoption of Bitcoin will potentially occur in the future but most of today's young people are more concerned with instant results than long-term investments in bitcoin, so what needs to be done is to provide examples of how bitcoin can provide extraordinary benefits.

I continue to teach my children what bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are and how they will benefit in the future (of course with educational tricks while playing). not an easy job teaching bitcoin to young people, but we shouldn't complain about it, just think of it as a noble job.
1393  Economy / Speculation / Re: What if BTC won't see ATH again? on: April 30, 2023, 08:52:40 AM
it never crossed many people's minds that bitcoin touched $ 50k but in fact bitcoin has reached that price, now people are asking whether bitcoin will touch $ 100k, and although no one can confirm it is 100% but bitcoin will definitely touch value $100k/BTC.
Perhaps, it was possible but I haven't think it right now. Because reaching $100k is not that easy, not that we think when people and these investors never know how to hold but just sell their Bitcoins when there are short pumps. We'd see the price before keep on growing, we make it as a basis for the future, we are able to reach $20k, another $60k for new ATH, and we are expecting a higher price in this bull season. That is how we viewed the journey of Bitcoin and we gain some faith but couldn't assure that it all be happening this time as it remains unpredictable.

of course, it's not an easy thing for bitcoin to reach $ 100k (besides needing good news, it also requires big adoption) but back to how people thought about the value of bitcoin in the past, even in 2016 many people never thought the price of bitcoin would touch $10k (that's why many people are trivial with the bitcoins they get either from the faucet - airdrop - mining).
now we all have to be able to learn from experience and everyone must have an investment in bitcoin regardless of whether the price of bitcoin will touch $100k or not because bitcoin is an investment asset that is very strong and resistant to anything even if it is very volatile (unstable like the price of gold).
1394  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: April 30, 2023, 07:09:45 AM
      -   When it comes to gambling addiction, it is quite difficult to get rid of it right away. But if we look at it, it just started with trial and error and experiencing a good gambling win is what often leads to becoming a vice in the end.

That's why it's really better if you only have a small budget set aside for gambling, don't overdo it, honestly, at least if you lose, you won't have anything to draw, that's it, automatic stop immediately, that's what you should do and if you win Even if it's not a big deal, stop right away and then come back after a few days.

technically, the way you wrote this is the best way for every gambler to avoid addiction due to gambling but not all newbies in gambling understand this trick so most of them can no longer accept advice from experienced gamblers.

So to reach everyone (beginner gamblers or people who have the potential to become gamblers) needs a warning and also education from the government (especially in countries that legalize gambling) but I see that currently the government's role in educating their citizens is very minimal, they only busy with taxes from gambling but not focused on their citizens who are harmed by gambling addiction (as people who are responsible for citizens, they have no responsibility for gamblers).
1395  Economy / Gambling / Re: No bet is a waste on: April 29, 2023, 03:39:58 PM
Even you have verify the game is using provably fair, you're still not have 100% guarantee to win. Losing in gambling doesn't make you will able to win easily on the next time, it's only limited for few games like poker. If you gamble on slots game, you're not learn anything from your win or loss. In sports, you're also not learn anything, first you bet your team will win, but the result is lose. But in the next match you bet on your rival team, but the result your team are win.
The point is you will never get rich by gambling, all of this is just nonsense and this cycle will continue to happen to players unless you are a dealer. Don't be too serious about gambling, this is just luck and you won't be able to repeat that luck another time unless it comes to you again. Make gambling just to fill your spare time when you are bored at work. The real victory in gambling is when you can stop doing it and move on to a more positive direction to at least be able to save your money a little.

there is nothing wrong with betting because every bet that is doubled has the opportunity to make you get a lot of money, for example in the stories below, their lives change drastically once in a lifetime because of the bets they make,

1396  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is there any point to start trading with 20$? on: April 29, 2023, 10:25:07 AM
Hello everyone,

I’ve lately been trying alot of different ways to start making money but something in me tells me trading could be really fun and exciting to get into. Unfortunately I can’t afford to invest much right now so I’ve managed to invest around 20$ to get started. I’d really appreciate if you all could let me know if what i am doing is worth it or am I just wasting time?

Kind regards,
Human

the minimum limit set by many exchanges for trading is $ 10, so that $ 20 capital is enough for you to trade, but with a small capital, the profit you will get is also small, remember that it is very rare that you can find assets that can increase 100x or even 1000x in a short time, so it throws away your expectations about small capital -> big profits.

I really advise you to start trading with a capital of $ 100 and take a profit of 3% to 5% /day so that your capital growth will increase rapidly every day.

Court sentences mother, son to 7 years imprisonment and what did they do? Court sentences mother, son to 7 years imprisonment
...
The mother and the son after gambling away 5.6 million naira, that is about $8,000. When the reality dawned on them, they gave false information in petition, accusing someone of fraudulently transferring the fund from their Opay account to the sport betting account without their authorization.

Could this be a case of making someone pay for what they didn't eat or a case of double standard.

Bet as you can sustain and not allow your emotions have a better part of you.

they both did the stupidest thing imo..their total loss was N5.6m + N150000 (peace fee) Cheesy

making false testimonies because losing to gambling is a very reckless thing, every gambling site must have a good problem-solving team and can't be fooled carelessly. I would never do stupid things like this because I gamble consciously and am ready for whatever happens in the end (win or lose).
1398  Economy / Speculation / Re: What if BTC won't see ATH again? on: April 29, 2023, 07:25:04 AM
...
Some reasons collected so far:

1. "More than 90% of the people in this world has not yet bought bitcoin, do not worry, the adoption is still continuing. You will still see bitcoin at $100000 ane more."

it never crossed many people's minds that bitcoin touched $ 50k but in fact bitcoin has reached that price, now people are asking whether bitcoin will touch $ 100k, and although no one can confirm it is 100% but bitcoin will definitely touch value $100k/BTC.

2. "... as long as fiat inflation is still happening (which means a decrease in purchasing power), you can rest assured that assets like Bitcoin will keep going strong."
3. "We might see multiple ATH in the future once fiat explode. Bitcoin is the alternative and safe haven for people to escape inflation."

fiat can be printed according to political interests in a country and if more and more countries make Bitcoin a legal tender then the surge in Bitcoin prices will be unstoppable.

Hehehe ane tdk punya target untuk secepat mungkin om, ane cuma berusaha apa adanya aja. Soalnya rank legendary itu kalau soal bayaran hampir sama saja dengan rank hero jadi bukan jadi motivasi keharusan gitu, kalau dapat ya oke, kalau gak juga tdk apa-apa.
Berbicara masalah pembayaran Hero dan Legendary hampir sama, hanya beberapa campaign yang menerapkan pembayaran berbeda pada Hero dan Legendary. Ane juga merasa demikian, Rank Legendary bukan sebuah keharusan karena bukan perkara mudah sampai kesana khususnya untuk user seperti saya.
Meskipun begitu motivasi ke sana tetap ada, ane sedang berjalan pelan-pelan Samapi kesana tetapi ane tidak pernah memasang target khusus.

Btw ane cukup senang melihat perkembangan yang dialami user lokal, akhir-akhir ini semakin banyak yang berhasil rank up. Semoga ini menjadi motivasi buat user yang ranknya masih rendah, tanpa kesabaran dan usaha tidak mungkin bisa mencapai rank lebih tinggi.

bukannya malas atau kurang termotivasi tapi membahas tentang target ke hero atau legendary, saya pribadi tidak begitu terburu buru sih (bahkan saya sudah lama tidak mengajukan 10 review post).
selain itu saya menyadari kualitas postingan saya masih belum mampu membawa saya ke rank yang lebih tinggi di tambah lagi masih ada kesibukan di dunia nyata, namun melihat banyaknya member SFI yang naik ke hero saya sedikit iri sih (btw selamat kepada @MarjorieZimmermanGinger karena berhasil naik ke hero), namun saya akan terus berkontribusi mendukung member SFI lainnya untuk naik rank.

1400  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I will never own a whole Bitcoin and that's okay on: April 29, 2023, 05:18:01 AM
...
To summarize, my point is that many of us won't become rich or earn a great deal of money through Bitcoin, but that's okay; money isn't the greatest goal in life. We missed the early stages, but that doesn't mean that we don't have a chance in the future. There's no need to regret anything, coming from someone who was here during the first years and missed the boat. It's completely unnecessary to stress over how to acquire more and go above and beyond by selling stuff or exceeding the budget you can afford. Stick to what you can afford to spend and stick to that plan; don't go to extreme measures; and remember, there are no guarantees in investments.

I never expected to be very rich from Bitcoin, I enjoy every moment in this forum because it has become my hobby, I can even say this forum is my second home. I've seen a lot of impatient people in their lives (especially members on this forum who got banned), so they do negative things to get rich quickly even though they never get it at all.

I'm also still very grateful to have my little investment in the form of Bitcoin that I got from a signature campaign, for daily needs, I have a small business in the real world that can support me so I don't have to sell the bitcoins that I get. The point is that right now there are many opportunities and there is no need to rush, just focus and be patient with what you are good at and comfortable with.
