What do we think could be the cause for a trader that has been experiencing a win and lose repetitive occurrences in his trades.
~
Has anyone had such experience? If yes! Then how was or could it be solved or stopped?
The situation is getting psychological.
His/her decisions.

I'm not expert in trading, but I tried trading already, and I believe that the reason why I lost most of the time with my trades is my trading decisions which often leads me to losses. A win trade means you had a good decision, and vice versa. How can it be solved or stopped? I don't think there's any way to stop it aside from learning from your past experiences. Experiencing it first-hand would be better because you can adjust, and make better decisions in the future. If you experience winning, you might stick to that strategy, and if you lose, you will make some adjustments, and better decisions.

Overall, it's psychological like you said. The problem is yourself, and the only solution for that is to fix yourself as well.
922  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Top altcoin that you won't buy anymore on: August 22, 2023, 08:20:26 AM
Tron and EOS.

Tron has been a disappointment ever since. Justin Sun is just hyping his project, and I don't see any developments from the project thus, I really didn't follow this project. If there is anybody here who is a follower, and investor of Tron, can you please share if there is any developments, or upgrades to this project because I might change my mind if there is.

EOS has been on the downfall ever since it's rise in 2017-2018. I've followed this coin, it's developments, upgrades etc. until 2018 where I didn't ever hear anything from the project anymore. I also have a bad experience for this coin since it's price is increasing in 2017, and I really wanted to buy this coin, I wanted to borrow money from somebody, but rejected my loan. Good thing is that the rejection is a good thing because months after that happened, the price of EOS went down very hard. During the last bull run, it didn't even reach it's 2017 highs of ~$21, and it only reach I think $15. Still I will not buy this coin anymore.
923  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin does not provide full anonymity on: August 22, 2023, 04:16:23 AM
Bitcoin is commonly referred to as "pseudonymous" rather than fully anonymous. Although transactions are registered on the public blockchain, the connection between wallet addresses and individuals' identities isn't direct. Nevertheless, transactions are traceable and subject to analysis. Additional information can potentially link specific transactions to certain individuals or groups. It's worth mentioning that privacy-improving methods can heighten anonymity while utilizing Bitcoin, yet absolute anonymity isn't an inherent aspect of the protocol.
I remembered the documentary regarding Jimmy Zhong with this one. He posted is address, and that's the main reason he got traced by the authorities thus, getting arrested.

Bitcoin doesn't really provide full anonymity at first already because you can still track the transactions thru blockchain. It isn't like those privacy coins out there that you can't really track the transaction that are being done. Your identity will not be known if you will not put your Bitcoin address online, or at least kept your personal info.

Bitcoin isn't intended to be anonymous, and it has never been, and I guess it will never be because it can be easily tracked thru the blockchain. On the other hand, if you didn't post your Bitcoin address online, then I guess you can keep yourself anonymous since nobody knows you.
924  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Staking Coins With Annual Returns - Good Idea on: August 22, 2023, 03:56:03 AM
~
Do you think it's a good idea to stake coins?
Please explain your opinion.
22% APY? That alone is already a red flag for me.
I remember Terra Luna with this one where they're giving I think 20% APY for those who put their coins into their project. Ending? Many lost their money when the project fell down because of just a simple hack or bug whatever it is.

Staking in general is a good thing because you will have the opportunity to get more coins on a yearly basis because your coins are basically being used to earn more coins. On the other hand, let's think of the annual interest that they're giving if it's realistic or not. That 22% alone isn't realistic for me because who will give 22% to investors and take note that "it's free". Don't fall for this traps of these kind of projects.

I'm also staking some altcoins, so I'm not against staking, but let's be considerate at least, and think if the amount of annual interest that they're giving is realistic or not.

Enough about James Harden. I think I've found an interesting topic to discuss.

Pelicans star Zion Williamson shows off new look in viral photos

Take a look at these viral pictures. What can you say about his appearance? He has been criticized for being overweight, with some suggesting that his weight is the reason he is prone to injuries. However, when you look at this 'scary man' now...


And yet, here we are again with those hyped photos, hyped videos of superstars.
The best example of this one is Ben Simmons who always have video of him shooting from threes months before the season starts, and when the season starts, we saw him can't even shoot even inside the paint. What an irony, and this is just one example of many who are hyping their fans for their comeback.

As for Zion, it's been year after year that he is either injured, or not fit to play. He can't even finish a whole season with the Pelicans. Yes he is a generational player who has a huge impact with the Pelicans, and we even saw them one time at first place in the West, and I also look at them as the dark sheep of the West last season, but when he got injured, the team is just like an average team who can't even win in the play-ins.

The Media has been known for hyping player like him, and other more. I just hope that the expectations of the Zion's fans will be met, and he lessens his injury. I still remember him being put into trade talks by the Pelicans just a few weeks ago, but now it seems like the team will give him another chance to redeem himself. I mean it's really hard to let go a player like him, who can just bully those people inside the paint, and very athletic.

Re: HOW DO WE TRANSFER BITCOIN WEALTH TO HEIRS AND THE NEXT GENERATION
TBH, I don't know how investors who doesn't have any people to trust their assets with when they die will give their Bitcoin, and other assets to their heirs. I guess I'm lucky that I know a person whom I can trust my assets with if the worst thing happens, and I die.

Having a person or people where you can trust with is the best solution for this. The problem is, there might be a chance that the one who you trust right now will be the ones that will backstab you, making them a traitor, and has a chance to steal your assets. The chances are low, but it isn't zero right. Cheesy Anyway, trusting a relative, or in this care an heir is very hard thing to do. Maybe just putting it in a hardware wallet, then teaching them how to access it is the best way. Of course you will only give them the wallet when you die, or at least you feel that you will be. In that way, it would be better than just forgetting those Bitcoins.
927  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is Monero so unpopular? on: August 21, 2023, 11:55:01 PM
Because it's a privacy coin? I mean all privacy coins right now aren't that popular, and hasn't been talked online by many media outlets.
On the other hand, we have these criminals who are using privacy coins, so the government can't trace their transactions whatsoever. We might not have any concrete evidence to this one, but I think many of us know already that criminals wanted to hide from the government thus, they are using privacy coins like Monero and others.

There was a time in the past where privacy coins are becoming popular, but that didn't last long. Though I've seen privacy coins in the past that became popular, that didn't last long as well, and the last coin that I know that added some privacy in their project was Litecoin's Mimblewimble. Overall, Monero has been at the top ever since, and there is still a community behind it that's why it remained at the top.
928  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BITCOIN: Give people time! on: August 21, 2023, 11:29:58 PM

Although it's not the story that intrigue me to share this info  to the community but it's mainly the lessons I learnt from it that did, which I'll believe a lot of bitcoiners needs to know even as they talk to people about bitcoin. Which are:-

1. Give people time; they will show interest when the time is right for them. Their timing may not be same with yours, if you've done your own job of talking to them about it, then that's fine.

2. The amount of energy and time you expend preaching to someone about bitcoin is not a warranty that he will accept what you're offering. Maybe not immediately!

3. We should always tell people to go do their own research about bitcoin after giving them some preaching about it. Doing their own research from with what they  get online can strengthen their conviction about what they've have been told.


What do you think about this?
Sometimes, there are people who are insisting at first, but deep inside of them, they are very curious to know what a particular thing is, and in this case it's Bitcoin.

TBH, I didn't ever try to share many information about Bitcoin into my community although I know that there are some who really knows what Bitcoin is, or at least they've heard the term "Bitcoin". I just hope that there will be a time where all of us will gather in one spot, and just sharing anything about Bitcoin, and crypto in general so that we can share lots of information with each other. As for the OP's case, it's good that after months your uncle did invest into it. Your preaching might not have an immediate effect, but that helped him realize, did research, and learn what Bitcoin is.

Will I ever talk to some people with regards to Bitcoin? I might in the future, but as of now I don't want unless they're the ones who will approach me. After all, sharing lots of information about Bitcoin to other might not let them convince to invest into it at all. As for the 2nd one, your energy will be useless if the people who you introduced Bitcoin aren't really interested at all. As for the 3rd one, it's quite unfortunate that people aren't doing proper research before investing. They are relying on other people with regards to information - like spoon-feeding.
929  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can everyone in the world have bitcoin. on: August 21, 2023, 10:47:12 PM
~
My question is that is it possible for everyone to have bitcoin with the number of limited supply of bitcoin ?

Technically speaking, yes everyone can have Bitcoin.
The only question is that, will everyone have the capabilities to buy Bitcoin. Will everyone have the gadgets needed to access Bitcoin. Will everyone be given an opportunity to buy Bitcoin. Will everyone be interested in Bitcoin.

Take note that our current fiat currency that the world has been using, and is widely accepted worldwide is not being used by some of the people. You said "everyone", so I inserted those people who are in extreme remote areas that they themselves don't have access to money. Just imagine how they can get an access to Bitcoin. I will also specify those poor people who don't even have an access to smartphones that is needed to use Bitcoin.

If you will think, every person in the world can have access to Bitcoin, but there are certain factors needed in order for them to have access to it, and that is the hindrance for them. It's good thing that 1 Bitcoin can be divided into 100 Million Satoshi so that it can be distributed even more.
930  Economy / Speculation / Re: Big surprise in mid-August - Do not panic!!! on: August 21, 2023, 04:07:11 AM
I've been taking a short break from my work for the past two days - and WOW was I totally shocked when I know the price of bitcoin having dropped so much the previous day. I was wondering what this was all about - but my quick search says Elon Musk seems to be one of the reasons for the decline.

So far I haven't really cared much about market volatility - but the current market conditions have reminded me of the FTX crash. Not sure when the market will recover even though I'm not too affected by the volatility. My hope is only one; avoid panic - just hold your bitcoin and accumulate.
It's all Elon Musk in the internet. Everybody is telling that he's the reason why Bitcoin went down that hard, but the reality is that, the market is slowly going down in the past days already.

China's deflation, some other China-related news that affected the US stock market are I think the reasons why crypto market is down as well. US Stock Market going down, and so does crypto market. Whoever thinks that Elon Musk selling his Bitcoin is the sole reason for this dump are just a newbie like me, or an Elon Musk fan. Cheesy

Well TBH, I don't really care about the news. What I care is those opportunities that comes by. I mean I already took the opportunity, and bought small amount of Bitcoin. As for the current price movement, since that downfall, Bitcoin is moving sideways again, and so does other altcoins. Maybe we might see Bitcoin going even lower in the next weeks because of China again. We don't know, but as an investor, always take these opportunities, and buy some Bitcoins at a lower price.

Because
Sleep dreams that the tendency to suddenly become rich Cry
~
This is the reason why people are investing into meme coins.
They always leaning into the fact that they can earn, or can be rich if they will invest into meme coins. They aren't thinking of the other way around which is the risk when they are investing into this type of coins.

Meme coin being the most dangerous coin? It might be, but you know what's more dangerous? It isn't a coin, but it's how investors think. I just hope that most of the investors will wake up, and think that investing not only into meme coin,  but into coins that we already know are very risky always end up as a loss for the investor most of the time. On the other hand, not all meme coins are like that because we have DOGE that has been there for a very long time, SHIB that has been there for I guess 1-2 years already. Most of the meme coins don't last long I agree, but there are still some who lasted for years.

Meme coins in general aren't a good type of coin to hold it for long term. Maybe if you want to flip then I guess, but beware still because most of them are just cash grab.
932  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Suggest Low Cap altcoins for next bull run on: August 21, 2023, 02:52:43 AM
If we will recommend certain altcoins for you OP, will you really buy those coins?
I mean why people are asking here these kind of questions? Are you lazy enough OP not to make a research thus, just asking questions like that here? What if you lost your money, who will you blame? Us? Because we recommended an altcoin, and that altcoin failed miserably?

One thing more is that, you are asking for an altcoin that has a low market cap. For me, the lower the market cap, the higher the chance for it to fail. Why focus on low market cap altcoins if you still can get profits in investing into high market cap coins? It's lower, but at least it's less risky than what you are thinking.

Well, people are always recommending Bitcoin, and Ethereum here because it's the safest cryptocurrency to invest. If I were you OP, just focus on these 2. You have low budget? Doesn't matter. I have low budget as well, but I always focus on buying Bitcoin. Budget doesn't matter. Where you put it does.
933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 20, 2023, 10:53:28 PM
Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting this morning that the NBA is launching an investigation into the circumstances surrounding James Harden’s claim that Daryl Morey is a liar and got him to sign a contract under false pretenses. The drama takes another step forward. I’m not sure what the NBA can do though. Maybe nullify the contract?

I don't think that the NBA can simply nullify the contract, it might take a long investigation though, as they needed to get all the facts straight before making this hard decision, but nullifying it might have a ripple effect on some contracts on the NBA specially those who are signing or teams that are giving big money to NBA players right now.

For now, it seems that the case is his words against the owners word. So let's see how the NBA is going to settle this issues. Regardless if James is not happy Sixers should allow him to get out of contract and that could be the best settlement for him.
The best sanction that they can give to Harden is suspension for X number of games, or maybe a 1 year suspension, but it seems impossible.

His statement is very strong, and he repeated it while he was in China. That shows that he, and Morey really made a promise, but the other didn't give the max contract. Correct me, but is there any player in the league that got his contract nullified because of some reasons? Overall, Harden's statements, and his attitude towards the team will have an effect on him especially with his value. On the other hand, the Sixers really have a bad management for the last couple of years, and I will not be surprised if Embiid will request trade maybe next season because in an interview, it seems like he values having a title more than being loyal with a team especially if that team has a bad management.
934  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to tell if a new coin is worth investing in! on: August 19, 2023, 06:49:53 AM
If a coin introduces a completely new technology that enables a different function and is sustainable in the long term, does it have the potential to be a worthwhile investment?
Yes it is.
The only question is, is there any project who did that? There might be some in the past though I can't say the projects because I forgot them.

I've seen projects in the past that offers a completely new technology, and it seems sustainable in the long run, but for whatever reason it is, it ends up as a failed project. Nowadays, a completely new concept is very rare already, and most of the new projects that are popping out of nowhere are just either a clone of an old project, or a project that integrates 2 use cases from 2 different old projects. I don't want to say that it's bad to copy, but that strategy will not be sustainable in the long run, and that's the reason why most of the projects are failing I think.

Anyway, to answer your question on how to tell a new coin if it's worth investing in, there's no way to know it since you don't know the future of every new project. What's certain is that most of the new projects are ending up as a scam whatever the concept is, so in short it's hard to know.

Yes, it's understandable.
Whether or not a project is worth investing in, apart from innovation and the need to verify that the technology can achieve its goals and is not just an empty dream!
A representative of a new project. Cheesy
Your username speaks on the project that you want to advertise here. I guess good luck with your new project. Hoping that your project will be a successful one, your project will be different from what we are seeing already, and you will not scam investors. Tongue

Can I ask you OP. What will be the benefits of you using ChatGPT in order to make posts here? Merits? Attention from other high-ranked members? So that you can get accepted from a signature campaign?

It doesn't make any sense as to why users need to use ChatGPT into their posts. Well, it's still good that you only get neutral trust with what you did because there's still no rules that's being created regarding users using AI with their posts, but I will not be surprised if our admins here will make a rule regarding that in the future since it's starting to be used by many here.

Being ignorant really is a bad thing, so change your habits OP, and learn. Your question is kind of wrong though because there's no other way to improve that neutral trust since you already did a mistake. It's like a lower level of plagiarism for me. I have neutral trust as well, but I don't care since I didn't get those for doing bad things or using ChatLGBT.
936  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Suggest for newbies investors! on: August 19, 2023, 06:16:50 AM
Here's an imaginary merit for you. Tongue

Don't invest early
This is a subjective one, and the result isn't always the same.

Sometimes, investing earlier than other investors can give more profit to them especially if they are lucky to invest their money into a new project that became successful. On the other hand, not investing early might prevent the investor from getting scammed because we know already that most of the new projects currently are mostly ending up as a scam or an abandoned coin. Either way, since I'm an investor who mostly invests my money into established coins already, I'm agreeing with this one since I'm a conservative type of investor. Cheesy

Do not trade to soon
Do not trade to soon? Can you please elaborate this.

I guess if you're pertaining to "Don't trade to soon, unless you have the knowledge already" then I guess I'll just agree with you because in trading, knowledge is a big factor. Aside from knowledge, experience really helps as well because there are some times where in order for you to make a better decision, you need to experience losing in trading. Just my opinion only though.

This is because you are new to the crypto market
I'm not new to the crypto market, and I know already how market moves. Tongue

I also have a bad experience with regards to these trading signal channels back in 2018 I think or 2019.
I really didn't want to do it at first, but curiosity got me, and tried joining to a trading signal channels which I paid only 5$.

Their scheme is that, the one that I purchased is their level 1 trading signal channel meaning they will post the signal a few minutes late, and by the time we saw the signal there, the coin pumped many times already. We don't know this at first until we saw it first-hand that we are receiving the signal late until I stopped relying on that shitty trading channel, left on that Telegram channel, and just focused on learning in trading.

Is there anybody here who became successful, or at least earned huge profit just by following these trading signal channels? Because what I know is that these are just scam attempts to those who wants to earn in trading in a quick way. Either way, I already stopped trading for months, and I will never, ever try to join to these trading signal channels.

938  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 19, 2023, 04:44:10 AM
I don't what to speculate but it should be around the money I guess. Maybe he was promised to have a good money this season. But the owner turn his back on Harden.
Words are very powerful, and they should be honored. If James Harden is promised good money without conditions, then he is due for that. However, sometimes these businessmen are very clever; they tend to use their power to influence a player's decision but ultimately may not stand by their words. Nowadays, the system has already changed, as players can make demands. In the case of James Harden, being a superstar, I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing. He understands that he won't lose his job, even if the 76ers decide to trade him, which they have refused to do until now.
NBA = business. That's what these businessmen see the league right  now. On the other hand, there are these players who are acting like they're the boss of their own team, and demands a trade if they wanted to, or speak if they wanted to.

With regards to Harden, I guess the Sixers don't want to trade him anymore, or at least at the start of the season depending on how he will act at the start of the season until the mid-season. Harden already said that he will not play with the Sixers, and the team don't want to believe in him since he's on his last contract already. If Harden will not play, there's a high chance that his value will go down, and other teams will give him lower contract. I know that Harden is a superstar, but he's a player with lots of drama on his back, and his demand isn't as high as that of Durant, or even Irving or whatever superstar it is.

If there's any team that will be interested in him, it would be teams that's desperate of winning a title that what they only needs is a Point Guard who can run the team. Teams like the Lakers, and the Clippers are the 2 teams that I think he will be fit in, but between the 2, I would pick the Lakers. I mean AD, Lebron, and Harden with the same team is just a good team. The Lakers don't have a PG right now since they've traded Schroeder already. I guess if the Sixers will trade him mid-season, I just hope that he will go to the Lakers.

Are you also taking advantage of this opportunity, friend?
No because unfortunately, I don't have spare money to be used in buying Bitcoin, but if I have, I will take the opportunity.

Anyway, this is just a small dip at least for me, and whatever the reason is, I just hope that those who had a Long trade in their futures are just OK right now because of what happened. For sure they're the ones that are having a hard time right now because they got liquidated. Anyway as for those scary people out there, I'm pretty sure all or most of them are newbies, and don't understand still how Bitcoin's price moves. Over time, they will learn it, and they will adjust from it that's for sure.

Golden opportunity? No I don't consider it as one because what I can consider as a golden opportunity was in 2022 where the market are just going down, and down. Now they are starting to go up, and up already.

I will lean more to this chart of S&P 500 on the daily chart than SpaceX selling their Bitcoins (if they really did sell because some say they didn't).

We know that the price movement of Stock Market, and crypto are somewhat the same, and I believe that these is the reason why Bitcoin is going down during the last couple of days. Bitcoin is forming a falling wedge as well which is a bearish sign, and it did happen. I will not be surprised if Bitcoin will go lower than $25,000 this month knowing that Bitcoin really doesn't perform well in the month of August for the last 9 years or more. We'll see.

As for SpaceX selling, if they really did sell then I don't care. Cheesy
