Don't be carried away with the hypes in the market and choose to invest all your savings into cryptocurrency. The danger is: you may lose your investment(when you invest on altcoins without product backed), if not Bitcoin. Whenever you chose to invest on Bitcoin, ensure to hold your portfolio on a long-term.

Cryptocurrency investments are risky especially that you need to deal with it in order to get the profit that you desire.

Learning about investment is not that hard once you spend time understanding it.

Many people said that you should start investing in bitcoin if you are a beginner and once you know how it works and move in the market, you can also invest in some altcoins. Bitcoin is volatile and its movement is not that stable, it can either go up and down so you need to invest also in other cryptocurrencies. Always remember that cryptocurrency investments are not that instant to have and earn profits.
642  Other / Meta / Re: Merit giveaway: is it a good idear? on: September 24, 2020, 12:20:14 PM
I think merit giveaways are a good idea if they consist in the giver giving a look at the post history and finding some quality posts to give merit to. Also, if newbies post in the thread giveaway the posts they believe deserve merit. That way some worthy posts that has been unnoticed can receive merit.

I think it's not a yes or no question. Some giveaways are a good idea, others not.

It is really easy to create a good posts once that newbies knew that there's a sure merit that they will get.

I don't think that have merit giveaways can make them become a good and quality user here. What if you give merits to those who really deserved it, there are a lots of users here who are doing their best just to give facts, state some points, and give information that will help other people learn towards a certain topic. I'm hoping that giving merits should be allocated to those who are working for it.

I came here, at the urging of a friend, just to learn things about Bitcoin and other crypto projects. Honestly, I didn't even know that people could have professional careers on the forum as well.
So, something for everyone? That's awesome!  Grin

There's a lot of happenings here in this forum, crypto projects are important once you have skills that they are looking for.

Now that you are knowledgeable about what this forum can do to a user, you should explore more and find the things that is suitable for your own growth in this forum.

You can also read a lot of stories towards other user so that you can have some idea and get inspired to it.
644  Economy / Economics / Re: Sales of wedding rings are increasing on: September 24, 2020, 08:52:06 AM
Life is harder when this pandemic occurs and most of the people are having a hard time looking for something where they can earn money with.

Maybe this topic is really what is happening nowadays, some married couples really need to surrender their wedding rings for them to have a budget to feed for their family. Some are due to some agreement, and some are due to family problems. Just imagine that, if you don't have anything where you can feed your family with, just think of something that will become profitable for you.

Remember that sooner or later, we all get through this hardships. It depends on the married couple, if they both agreed with selling of their wedding rings for the sake of their sustainability and necessities.
645  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Less Volatile Coins on: September 24, 2020, 08:22:35 AM
Well, about newbies in the world of cryptocurrency I have to say that the following phrase is reasonably confirmed: The higher the risk, the higher the reward.

This is what I think every time I have doubts towards my investments.

That phrase really motivates me and make me become more aware about the happenings in an investments.

Volatility is really a problem but you need to deal with it and face it in the market. Management and control will really make your money safe from losses even if there is a risks. Newbies are not aware about the risks and they are only rooting for higher rewards without even considering other possibilities that might happen in the market.
646  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Merit is Not Earned By Luck, But Because of Your Efforts! on: September 24, 2020, 07:53:02 AM
I just don't get it when some users are making post that is not direct to the point and it is hard to understand.

Meaningless and not straightforward post really make people unable to read it much clearer. It doesn't matter if you posts with too much words, but the important thing is if it is easy to understand, you stated some facts, it is informative, and direct to the point. We should work for it and not rely on those people who are giving easy merits. Hoping that newbies will take time to read posts regarding earning merits, so that they know what to do in this forum.
647  Economy / Economics / Re: Possible Patterns of Recovery on: September 24, 2020, 07:02:08 AM
I just hope it doesn't hit that bad again! This time the economy might sink to the lowest. Inflation is not a problem anymore. I mean the governments all around the world printed shit load already lol. Let's hope for the best!

Most of us are really dreaming about the V-shaped recovery because we want a faster economic recovery as soon as possible but in reality, it is really hard to achieve that due to some factors that can make it hard to do. The U-shaped recovery is the only thing that we can do right now, not that immediate enough but it can show us some improvements from time to time. We just need to be patient and wait for the government's action towards this economic crisis, if some other countries can do it like New Zealand and Vietnam, we also probably can do it.
648  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin ATMs Surge As There Are Now Over 10,000 Bitcoin ATMs Worldwide on: September 23, 2020, 05:38:23 PM
Bitcoin ATMs are really increasing in number immediately and this is a good bitcoin adoption signal for us.

There are still a lot of places that doesn't have bitcoin ATMs which is still a problem to them.

Hoping that more and more countries will engage in this kind of development and adoption so that anyone who wants to withdrew their money in a bitcoin ATM will lessen their inconvenience. Imagine if most of the countries already implemented Bitcoin ATMs and spread it all over the world, in that time, bitcoin will really become accepted by the people and the governments.
649  Economy / Economics / Re: Food prices doubled this year on: September 20, 2020, 02:07:07 PM
If agricultural crisis continues in our country and government doesn't take actions to it then we will end up suffering from famine.

Not all of us do have a budget to buy foods and goods that we need to survive due to increasing of jobless people.

Businesses are closed and don't expect that jobs will still make you live, this pandemic affects huge sectors in our agriculture. The only thing who will make a way for this inflation to decrease is the government, a responsible and wise government. Let's be honest, it is really hard to earn money and work for it when a hindrance is really deadly and can cause someone's life.

If you know how to properly budget your money then do it, never waste your money to useless things.

650  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should bitcoin be introduced into the educational sectors on: September 20, 2020, 01:21:04 PM
To answer your topic question: It probably needs to be introduced on related subjects/courses like investing and finance and computer science in general.

But what needs to be more emphasized in schools in my opinion, is internet security in general. Not only does it help with the security of future bitcoiners, but also with internet users in general. As we move more and more to the digital space, internet security just becomes more and more important.

Blockchain technology should be also prioritized not only internet security, but also how data stored globally.

By this, maybe students and universities will have a prior knowledge towards transactions and how system works and record data in a specific storage.

Especially that bitcoin community is growing and any other cryptocurrency community is also booming these days. We all know that every one of us are going to universities and study the things that we want to pursue and probably we should make a way to help cryptocurrency to become studied by student and future investors.
651  Other / Off-topic / Re: What to expect in soccer this season on: September 20, 2020, 09:18:55 AM
Even if we can't support our favorite teams and cheer them up while they are in the arena, there are a lot of things that we can do to cheer them up.

Social media is a powerful tool to support the teams that we want. Soccer has a lot of community supporters and a lot of fan so it is never become worthless, there are still platforms where we can show our love and support in that sports, by merch, by sports betting, and campaigns. Football is really the most popular sports in Europe and other countries besides basketball, but still they can continue the season just like what NBA did.

They just need to follow the safety protocols in order to put it into place and prevent spreading the disease to other players and staffs.
652  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and Lockdown in every country on: September 19, 2020, 11:13:17 AM
Most of us are finding some sideline where we can make money amidst this pandemic.

There are a lot of people who are getting curious about bitcoin because of boredom and interest towards investment while staying at home. Also trading is really the best option to do instead of online businesses, and digital currencies such as cryptocurrency is really becoming more popular as you can see in some articles and news.

Bitcoin will really prevail during this time, in this crisis, it can be the solution to an economic crisis that we are experiencing.
653  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Number of Bitcoin ATMs Hit 9,680 in September on: September 18, 2020, 01:24:03 PM
How many of you have used these ATMs at least once in your life? I've never even seen them.
currently, Bitcoin ATMs are not spread all over the world and only exist in few countries...
so for many people, it is still very strange because it is rarely seen. maybe in the next few decades, Bitcoin ATMs will be spread all over the world so you and I can see it.

I pity those Bitcoin ATMs in Africa, they are not that technologically advanced when it comes to that but their adoption and development towards cryptocurrency industry is really good.

Most of us really want to experience using Bitcoin ATMs in the future and it is not impossible for that to happen. Although we are now having some improvements towards bitcoin's adoption in many countries, this should include in the next steps that we need to support and hope for. Maybe one day, we see a BTC ATMs in our place so that it is less hassle for us.
654  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Big companies have started investing in bitcoin as a safe asset on: September 18, 2020, 11:53:29 AM
When you think, using "safe asset" word for Bitcoin could be strange. In the end, Bitcoin is volatile and fiat money isn't. However, fiat money can always be manipulated easily or go down in value while an economic crisis. But there is no such thing that a government etc. can control Bitcoin. In an economic crisis, Bitcoin will be better choice compared to fiat money.

In terms of a safe haven, we need to accept the fact that bitcoin is not the same as GOLD.

To secure your future, you need to invest in Gold because that's a long term asset and not volatile like bitcoin.

But some of the big companies are still investing in Gold as a safe haven because bitcoin is new to them. Bitcoin should be manipulated depending on the market and a sudden changes or spike in its price should be monitored so that you know when to make transactions. Maybe some companies thinks that bitcoin is one of the way to reduce the suffering from economic crisis.
655  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why government Don't kill btc? on: September 18, 2020, 11:22:53 AM
Governments are not that dumb to do that, some of them know that BTC do have a lot of potential and it really need some time and support for it to grow more. The only problem here is adoption and its volatility in the market, still people in our society thinks that bitcoin is a fraud and a ponzi which is not true. We need to change that mindset towards bitcoin and treat it as a normal currency. They are not literally killing btc but they are just against its legalization in their economy and the market. Not all of us do have the same vision and perception towards btc and we are just believing in its full potential to help an economy grow.
656  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Bitcoin society on: September 17, 2020, 12:41:27 PM
Bitcoin is really becoming more popular these days that we are in a pandemic and digital transactions are more important.

Hoping that more people or even the governments will see its importance when it comes to that. Bitcoin is a must to invest because there's a lot of benefit and advantages from it so the opportunity to invest to it shouldn't be wasted. Our society should adopt in this kind of technology so that we are not that ignorant towards development and evolution.

Bitcoin society is in a progressive movement and i'm hoping for more improvements in the market and economy.
657  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: btc future on: September 17, 2020, 11:59:52 AM
Bitcoin is not that so threatening for the government, sure they can do this as several countries already prohibit activities that involves bitcoin but the thing is they cannot be certain if someone is using bitcoin from their country because bitcoin is highly accessible. The growth of bitcoin already proves that people want what the bitcoin has, and from that fact alone we know that bitcoin has a future.

Right now, bitcoin is still under development although it is the most popular and most used cryptocurrency in the market.

Bitcoin's growth is really much faster compared to other coins. Its adoption in our society is really not that fast due to the mindset of other people towards it that they think that bitcoin is a scam and not a real currency. Still bitcoin has a a lot of potential and will surely improve every single day and we should wait for its time.

The biggest problem about bitcoin is its volatility and we need to deal with it.
658  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lessons to be learned from the rising digital currency market in 2017 on: September 16, 2020, 08:21:32 AM
I agree with most of your opinion, when the market gets active again there are many problems such as fraud, manipulation, and trading risks.
Number 14 is not true since the major exchanges support cryptocurrencies, we should leave them there as long as we do KYC, secure our accounts.

It clearly depends on the exchange that you are going to use to secure you cryptocurrencies in a wallet.

Choosing a reliable and most trusted exchange is not that hard to do because there are a lot of cryptocurrencies exchange that are already existing.

Most of the things in the list are true and I already experienced those kind of things so I understand every details.

659  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: India looking to Re-ban Bitcoin on: September 16, 2020, 07:17:31 AM
They really don't want to let go, many countries are now relaxing on Bitcoin they should take the cue on those nations that it's not harmful for the people and the economy to just regulate Bitcoin, this is old thinking in the future Bitcoin will be the most used Online Currency in the world and they will find out that they are left behind.

Maybe, the problem is about the possible regulations of bitcoin in their country. Most of the people in their country are not that knowledgeable or well-informed about the use of cryptocurrency in their country that's why instead of legalizing it, they prefer to ban it. It takes a lot of time and courage for a country to study how bitcoin works and why is it important in the market and economy.

Just like other countries, they still think that bitcoin is a scam, fraud, and not a real currency. It is digital but it doesn't mean that bitcoin is not really existing, it does exist in the market and it dominates other currencies. Hoping that this 2nd to the most populated country will soon understand how bitcoin can change an economy to become greater.
660  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My experience is gambling on: September 16, 2020, 06:46:28 AM
Gambling is about money, but it gives me pleasure in anything I can win. Recording win and losses is very insignificant and completely useless. I have tried all kinds of trick and tips to increase win and chances, but none of them have been able to bring me a big win. Self-control is important and here I know that my main mistake in gambling is due to "money" purposes. I should have realized that if I made gambling a place to have fun then I didnt have to be excited about winning.
Gambling should never ever be about making money. May be, investment in bankroll is something you could opt for.

Indeed. Gambling is initially a recreational activity and should be taken as the way it was intended for.
Although I agree that making investments with the bankroll of casinos could be really an option.
Nevertheless, discipline to set and follow limitations when gambling is necessary to prevent addiction.

It is hard to change the mindset of the people who are engaging in gambling because the only thing that they want is to become rich by doing that.

Gambling is never profitable, unless you are a lucky person. But when we think about the reality, this is not the best way in making money, risks in gambling are much larger than investments. Positive mindset is important in every investments and in every actions and plans that you are going to do. It depends on the person if he wants to invest in a bankroll and we can't force someone to do it, but that's a possible option for them.

Discipline and self-control is not that hard to do especially if you are willing to manage your assets properly.
