That's the reason why Bitcoin will never become a stable currency. Even fiat currency can't be considered stable because the price of it still moves, and so is Bitcoin.

The fact that people see Bitcoin as an asset where they can make money from it makes Bitcoin excluded from it being a stable currency. Some see it as an asset, and some see it as a currency, and this kind of thinking towards Bitcoin is the reason why it will never be a stable currency. Fluctuations will be a bad sign? Volatility is a double-edged sword. It can give you profits, but at the same time it can also give you losses, and it all depends on the investor.

Bitcoin will never stabilize, as some of the investors see it as an asset like Gold, Silver, or the Stock Market as a whole. I guess it's a good thing that Bitcoin is a currency where we can use it to buy stuff, but at the same time, it can be an asset where people can make money off of it.

You can buy 1$ of Bitcoin in seconds? Technically yes, but how about the fees? You might encounter some times where you are spending more in transaction fees compare to the amount of Bitcoin that you are buying which is 1$.

I will not help because there are many tools online already that can help a person to learn Bitcoin.
It's up to them already if they're willing to learn it or not.

I don't want to waste my time, making crash courses, or talking about Bitcoin to someone else especially if that person isn't interested at all. I will just redirect them to different websites, videos, and articles that will help them learn Bitcoin. When I first started to learn Bitcoin, nobody helped me, but the internet. I spent hours watching educational videos, reading articles that will give me knowledge on what really Bitcoin is, and I guess that will also be helpful for those newbies out there. I guess the only part where I can help them is if they will ask questions about me, but in terms of where do they need to start, I will let them watch or read themselves.

Kaya hanggang ngayon, hindi ko pa rin tinatapos yung requirements para maopen ko ung GCrypto kahit eligible na akong gamitin yun. Dahil sa mga ganitong instances.

Di lang ito ang first time na nangyari ito sa Gcash, at sana mas nagfocus muna sila sa pagpapalakas ng security ng App mismo kaysa sa mga bagong features na idadagdag. Para sa ating matagal nang involve sa cryptocurrency, marami na tayong nakita na mga scams, frauds at hacks na nangyari. Paano na lang natin pagkakatiwalaan ang Gcash na ipahawak sa kanila ang mga cryptocurrencies natin kung ganito ang nangyayari sa kanila. Mas magkakaroon ng doubts sa ating mga matagal na sa crypto itong mga nangyayari sa kanila na hacks, sudden withdrawals, unauthorized transactions etc.

In terms of reputation, panigurado maaapektuhan ang Gcash dito "pansamantala" dahil pagdaan ng ilang buwan, makakalimutan rin ng karamihan itong nangyari at babalik ulit sa normal na sitwasyon. Sana magfocus muna ang Gcash sa pagpapalakas ng security bago sila magdagdag ng panibagong mga features.

Tatum with 3/11, Horford who has been their reliable 3-pt shooter had 0/7. If you are shooting 39.8% from the field, don't expect for the team to win unless their opposing team is shooting awfully as well, but the Sixers had 40/79 for 50.6%. How can you win if you shoot less than 40% from the field.

I remember when Stephen A. said a few days ago that he will not give the Sixers a chance to win against the Celtics. Now the Sixers are one win away from going to the Conference Finals, and Game 6 will be played on their home which increase their chances of winning. Embiid and Maxey lead the team with 33 & 30 while Harden had only 17 points, but has 10 assists to steal one win on the road "AGAIN".

I can't help myself, but to laugh when the camera pointed to the fans of the Celtics. You can see in their faces the disappointment on what they are seeing. It's almost the same when Trae Young shoot that dagger three to extend the series in Game 5 in the first round. The question now is, can the Philly close this series in Game 6? Or we will see Coach Doc Rivers choking again. :X Hope not.

No.
Basically, if you tried trading, you can consider yourself a trader already. You don't need to control your emotions so that you can call yourself a trader. There are many traders out there who don't know how to control their emotions, and they call themselves a trader. A failed trader.

Learning how to control your emotion doesn't guarantee you will get profit in trading. Controlling your emotion is just one of the things that you must learn if you want to be a successful trader.

I'm not a pro trader, but I guess there's nothing to control aside from controlling your emotions. Maybe controlling your capital when you are starting? You can include that as well.

If you learn how to control your emotions already, what you need to do next is to know how to read charts. I believe technical analysis really helps whenever you are trading. Don't listen too much to the news, and focus more on what you are seeing in the charts. I'm trading, and TBH there are times that I'm losing money as well, but that's ok since I'm not that good at trading though in my overall trading journey, I had more profit than losses.

I guess most here already said the things that you need to do OP if you really want to pursue trading. Learn how to be emotionless not only on trading, but on investing in general.

I know, I know that the Warriors back when they are down 3-1 against the Thunder, and still won 4-3 isn't the same now, but the core players are still there, and as  Warrior fan, I don't want to say that the Lakers will be going to the Finals until they reach 4 wins.

Well, players who are up 3-1 win 95% of the time in a playoff series, so in this case, there is only 5% chance of the Warriors winning, but 5% is different from 0%, so I believe that there is still a chance for them to win. They won 2 straight road games against the Kings in the first round, and I believe they can do it again. The Warriors are just one three point away from tying the series, but Curry unfortunately just didn't sank those 2 crucial three points in the final seconds of the game to get the lead which is sad.

15 points in the 4th quarter alone, and had some important shots in the final minutes of the game. For sure nobody expected for him to step up in this game. When Russell is not having a good game, somebody must step up offensively, and that's what Walker IV did. Reaves is expected to step up offensively, so as Lebron, and even if AD didn't play that good in the 2nd half (only had 4 FG attempts), they still won.

I think the team should trade Jordan Poole since he hasn't been as useful as he was during the last playoffs. I'm not sure what happened to him, but since receiving a huge contract, his stats have dropped significantly.
[/quote]
Steve Kerr gave him lesser time in the last 3 games because of his poor shot selections, poor defense, and poor offense.

I will not be surprise TBH if he will be the one that will be traded if the Warriors will lose to the Lakers. I mean Poole is a big factor last season when they won the title, but he isn't the same for this season, and he's more of a liability when he's in the court. Like what @danherbias07 said, DiVincenzo and Moody are more productive than him, so I'd rather see both of them be given more minutes. I also hope that Looney will be better in the next game because he's been playing limited minutes because of the illness.

Crisis? Un-useable? What more negative words can you use towards Bitcoin?
Well, base on that username, it's pretty obvious that you're under Gate.io exchange.

Many are switching to SOLANA? What Solana? Many are switching into a coin that has been into outages several times already? I would rather go to stablecoin like Tether than a shitcoin like Solana. Monero? No as well.

How do Bitcoin became a completely un-useable currency? It's because of high transaction fees? Do you think that this will last forever? No establishments are accepting Monero, and a shitcoin like Solana. If you're doing this to attack Bitcoin, try again.

This high transaction fee problem with Bitcoin only affects the people who are transferring small amounts of Bitcoin to other people. For those who are transferring huge amounts, I don't see this as a problem for them especially if they really need it.

On the other hand, we know that most of the Bitcoin transaction are only small amounts, so this affects most of the Bitcoin holders (including me TBH). I guess many here already said it, but for business owners who are accepting Bitcoin, maybe accepting other coins aside from Bitcoin would help. I mean we can teach the buyer how to convert their Bitcoin into other altcoins. The other one I guess is to just stop accepting Bitcoin as payment for the meantime until the transaction fee goes down to what it is a few months ago.

We don't know how long with this high transaction fee will last, and it only started since the BRC-20 or Ordinals thing started. Maybe if the hype of it will go down, or if the hype of memecoins in general go down then we might see a bit of a decrease on transaction fees on Bitcoin. This transaction fees reminds me of 2017 where people doesn't want to transfer their Bitcoins because of very high transaction fees that they can't afford it.

The big adjustment of the Suns that they've made in this series is the fact that they gave their bench players more minutes, and the good thing is that they're contributing both in offense, and in defense. I think that's the reason why the series is now tied at 2 a piece.

Jokic had put monstrous numbers in both Games 3 & 4, but lost still. I don't know if it's just me that I have this feeling, but this series like Jokic Vs. Durant & Booker. The Nuggets are just an average team if Jokic isn't on the court while on the Suns, they can just switch Booker, and Durant if needed. Still both Durant, and Booker are playing more than 40 minutes in this series, and I don't know how fatigue will affect their overall performance this playoffs, but if they continue to play like this, I think their performance will decline soon.

He isn't a washed out player like what his bashers are saying. It's just he isn't consistent in this series.

In their 2 wins, he put 40+ points while in the 2 losses, he is almost non-existent. Harden just needs to be consistent in the remaining games if they want to go to the Eastern Conference Finals. I mean him, and Embiid can carry the team just like what they did in Game 4. I agree with you as well that the ability of Harden to adjust to what his team needs makes him a good player. When he was in the Rockets, he focuses more on shooting, but when he is in Brooklyn, or now in Philly, he focuses more on passing, but can lead his team offensively when needed. Overall, if Harden will be consistent in offense in the remaining games in this series, we might see the Sixers defeating the Celtics in 7 games or even 6.

As long as you own Bitcoin, you are already a Bitcoin investor.
I mean why need to complicate it. Isn't the definition of Bitcoin investor is "A person who owns Bitcoin"?

What does it really take to become a Bitcoin investor? Capital. That's all you need so that you can call yourself a Bitcoin investor. It doesn't matter if you own a considerable amount of Bitcoin, or a small amount of Bitcoin, or a very huge number of Bitcoins. As long as you are holding Bitcoin, you consider yourself as a Bitcoin investor already.

There's nothing more to it. Knowledge? Maybe the only thing that you need to learn is to know when to buy and sell, and that's it.

Pandemic really told us that there's lots of job aside from corporate jobs, or the usual 9-5 rat race type of jobs where you need to commute just to work for 8 hours, and your being paid by minimum wage.

Online jobs. The pandemic really opened us to online jobs because there was at time where people can't go outside of their home because of lockdowns. Those who are working online before the lockdown started are somewhat lucky because they didn't lose their job, and they're working still (it's a different situation if the company where the freelancer is working stopped because of the pandemic). Working online really is the best option right now when it comes to working. Like you said, the flexibility of time, and the fact that you are the one that will choose which time you prefer to work in a single day. How fulfilling is that? You work at your own pace instead of you working for another employer where you can't control your time.


No.

I still remember what my family member said. "Go outside our country, and earn more money there." At that time, I felt that I was dumb, but it's good that I didn't follow what he said because I'm happy with where I am right now. Working online really opened people to many job opportunities. As long as you have a skill that you can offer online then you're good to go. You can earn online already. Why you need to go abroad to earn more money if you can earn it already without going abroad. Online job is the solution.

The only problem that I'm seeing right now with working online (or freelancing), is it's becoming saturated already meaning there are many freelancers out there. Well, it wasn't that much of a problem because I believe that there will still be clients who are willing to work with freelancers out there.

Those negatives that you shared has a solution. I will comment base on what I know (not expert here).

That's why we have many information in the internet right now right? No knowledge? It isn't applicable only to Bitcoin, but to everything. When you invest, you need knowledge right? Where can you get it? You can get it online, when you have a mentor, or if somebody will guide you. In everything that's related to investing, you really need knowledge in order for it to understand. I think there's nothing that you can understand without any knowledge into it. Just pure common sense.

Scam? Fraud? Did you compare how many scams, and fraud investment have used both Bitcoin, and fiat already? Give us some numbers that shows that it really is high because what I know is that fiat currency is the most common currency that's being used by scammers to scam people.

So you're saying that banks are refunding you if you lost your money? It's the same as with Bitcoin. You lose your fiat currency, you lost it forever. For Bitcoin, you lose your private keys, you lose it forever.

Privacy? Isn't it a bad thing? On what way?
Because what I know is that, it's never comfortable to share your private information to some random strangers out there. TBH, privacy has more benefits than disadvantages.

On the other hand, we have corrupt government officials slowly diminishing the value of your fiat currency thru massive printing for their own sake. Isn't it fraud as well?

Vitalities? You mean volatile right?
Why? Do you think the stock market is predictable? Is there any market out there that's predictable with regards to it's price a few years from now? I mean with 100% accuracy.

On the whole Warriors roster, he's the most inconsistent right now. There will be a time where he will be scoring 20+ points, and there will be games where he will be scoring less than 10 points. Yes he gets hot sometimes, but we are now in the playoffs, and I guess as much as possible, he needs to contribute to the team in whatever way it is.

On the other hand, the big 3 of the Lakers scored 20+ points to lead their team to win the game, and lead the series as well 2-1. I guess the main key why the Lakers won is they limited the Warriors on threes. The Warriors made 21 three point shots in both games 1 & 2, but in this one, they only made 13, and has a lower attempts as well. The 2 Green who scored 15 & 11 points in Game 2 is almost non-existent on this one scoring only 2 points each.

Davis and Lebron both made history in this game as well: (just saw it online)
Davis joined Shaq and Kareem as the only Lakers in NBA history to have 25 points, 10 rebounds & 4 blocks in more than 1 game in a single postseason.
Lebron on the other hand moves to 5th all-time as he passes Kareem in all-time playoff rebounds.

The Lakers need to defend their home court one more while the Warriors need to steal one on the road so that they can tie the series. Let's take note that the team who are up 3-1 wins the series 95% of the time, so it's a must win game for the Warriors, but wait... they also did the almost impossible when they defeated the Thunder back a few years ago when they're down 3-1.

I'm no professional trader, but between those 3 things that you said, the third one is the only part where I agree on it.

For the first one, so you are saying that I will focus more on crypto trading, and will not do anything outside of that, my profits will be constant? Are you sure about that? Do you mean constant is 100% win rate because if that's the case then I don't think that would be healthy for a trader to focus most of his time on trading. I mean we have other things to do outside trading as well. Focusing on trading might increase your chances of getting profit, but it will not guarantee you that you will get profits every time.

For the 2nd one, I'm trading as well (but not that much), and I didn't conduct any market research at all. Why would you conduct a market research if the only thing that I'm trading is Bitcoin, and some coins that are supported in futures trading in Binance. I mean do you need to do market research every time you make trades? I don't think so.

The 3rd one is the one that I will agree with one condition. If you know that you are profiting in trading, then that's the time that you will increase your capital. I mean why increase your capital if you are just a newbie in trading?

Now to answer the question of OP, this is just base on my experience, and coming from an average trader who are earning just enough to pay some bills here. How to maintain profitability in crypto trading? Just learn how to read charts. That's what I'm doing, and so far, I'm profitable with trading. I'm not an expert in crypto trading, and I'm only using 3-4 indicators whenever I'm trading, but it works FOR ME. Take note that what works for me might not work for anyone.

Sometimes, mindset really plays a big role not only in investing into crypto, but into investing in general.
If you think that cryptocurrency will make you rich overnight, or you think that crypto will make you a millionaire in just a week then I guess there's something wrong with how you think about crypto.

Sometimes, these kind of thinking leads to some forced or irrational decisions, and they're just jumping into what's the trend. They don't know the risks of investing into crypto. That meme is just a meme, but if you have been an investor for quite some time, you will agree that there are many investors who might've sold some of their properties or the valuable things that they have just to have money to invest into crypto

It's only funny for those people who don't have any experience in investing into crypto. It's funny for those who don't know what happened to some of the investors out there who lost their money. It's funny for those people who are too ignorant to accept the truth that crypto isn't for everyone. I still believe that the mindset plays a big role when it comes to investing.

I want to think... but I can't think of any because at first, time travelling isn't possible (at least for now).

Those people who sold their Bitcoins at a lower price is the reason why we are here now. They showed that a new currency like Bitcoin is there, can be transferred without any third party involved, and it can be an alternative mode of payment to fiat currency. Now with the Pizza Guy, I guess he already said that he doesn't have any regrets on his decision because at first place, he doesn't know the future, and he don't know the future of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin way back in 2009 is like any other shitcoins currently. We don't know the future that's, and these people who sold their Bitcoin in the past proved to us that it can be used for whatever reason it is. Many here have said that they might've bought it, but did you know what the future of Bitcoin is way back in 2009? If you missed the opportunity to buy Bitcoin, buy those shitcoins out there. Buy those new projects out there, and see if you can do it.

Sorry, but I'm just being realistic OP so... don't mind my words I guess.

It's good that the bench of the Suns at least helped them in this win. I mean in Game 2, their bench players only scored 4 points. Their benches played a total of 70 minutes at that time, and they only scored 4 points. At least in Game 3, and a must win for them, Coach Monty Williams made some adjustments, thus getting the victory.

The question is, how much can Booker and Durant can play all throughout the whole playoffs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the whole playoffs, both of them played more or less 40 minutes per game. I don't think that this is a good idea from their coach because in the later series (if they win against Denver), they will be facing tougher opponents. The bench need to step up more in terms of offense.

As for Jokic, he made history in this game as he's the first player in NBA history to record 25+ points, 15+ rebounds, and 15+ assists in an NBA playoff game. It's a good achievement for him, but for sure he doesn't care about it as he focuses more on the title than these kind of records. Now for the whole series, if they will win again in Game 4, it will be a best of 3 series, and my sentiments towards the Suns will change. I might watch the whole game to see if the bench of the Suns stepped up.

Well, this is the quote that I always hear applies.
"When emotions are high, intelligence is low."

Crazy? Full of revenge? Do you think the market cares about your emotions? No OP. Nothing cares about your emotions, and that's the hard truth. When you're trading, try to be emotionless. When you're trading, set aside your emotions. Your emotions lead you to follow some telegram pump and dump groups that obviously is a scam because the moment that they will tell you the coin that they will pump, when you try to trade on it, the coin already pumped. Well, I just hope that you've learned a lesson from this one.

Just to share as well that like you, I've also tried to join these pump and dump groups because I thought that it was a shortcut in trading because I'm a bit lazy at that time. Cut the story short, I ended up losing money following them, and from that I tried to learn trading. Spent time watching videos, applying it, and building the best strategy that works for me.

It's good that you didn't gave up on trading, but continued to learn.

There are some lazy people (like me) who wants to earn profit thru trading in a quick, and easy way. I hope that these people will wake up one day, and realize that it wasn't that easy to gain profit in trading. If it's that easy to make profit thru trading then all of us must've been rich by now.

To all traders out there, take OP's advice, but don't focus on what he said, since there are many things that you need to learn thru trading.

If I will share a tip that will help newbie traders in trading, I guess it will be "Be emotionless." 2 powerful words that will help a trader to be successful. Being emotionless in trading is hard especially when you're starting, but as you gain experience, you will gradually learn how to control your emotion, and eventually set it aside. I'm too emotional as well when I started trading, and because of that I lost more than half of my initial capital. My losses taught me to set aside emotion, and as I trade, I learned to be emotionless.

Sell.

I already have regrets on my past decisions on not selling in 2021 when the market is at it's peak. I just watched the whole market going up while I didn't made a decision at that time. Now my profits at that time just vanished, and I feel disappointed and mad at myself at that time. "A missed opportunity, but lesson learned." That's what I said to myself, and promised that I will sell a huge portion of my crypto holdings when the bull market comes.

I will still keep a portion of my holdings for the next bull run after that. I just wanted to cash out some of my profits that I got in holding cryptocurrencies. I just hope that most here will do the same. If there's a chance for you to sell, and take profit, don't miss the opportunity, and do it.
