301  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is a 20% Annual Return good ? on: October 20, 2023, 09:37:01 PM
With my experience in the cryptocurrency market, I decided to develop a short-term Bitcoin spot trading strategy using the TradingView platform and its strategy programming tool. I managed to create a strategy that yields an average annual return of 20% according to backtesting. My question is, is this return acceptable, or in your opinion, what would be an acceptable or good return?
Oohh, if you think like a traditional player I think that's surely acceptable but psychologically we humans tend to want more than that. A bear market in crypto with 20% annual return is still low and for me it needs to be higher than that depending on what type of investment you venture or what coins you're holding, that's what matters to maximize a return.

Share your tips and thoughts on staying responsible in this digital realm.
Don't put your eggs in one basket, diversify it especially your funds. Be mindful to have a hardware wallet if you own several cryptocurrencies. That's the basic tips if you have want to secure your funds in gambling but to be responsible is not something that's just being pass onto mouth, you need to put an effort on it as well.
Totally agree to it. Applying this on gambling alone will give a huge impact on how to handle self control. There’s some instances that people don’t care how much he is already betting whenever he already loss huge part of his total bankroll. Depositing all your money in the casino will gonna cost a lot when user encounter this kind of madness even though his total bankroll is still high.

I never deposit huge amount in casino because I’m scared that I will lose it all no matter what responsible I am in gambling. It’s very hard to control yourself when influenced by heat of the moment of gambling.
So do I, it's definitely risky considering it's still a centralized entity and who knows if they'll just maliciously drain your bankroll overnight and you haven't somehow know or you didn't print screen your balance. That's indeed possible especially if you're into a casino that isn't as secured or established.

304  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin ETF Approval: Fueling Bullish Momentum? on: October 19, 2023, 09:31:57 PM
With the rumoured SEC's approval of a Bitcoin spot ETF, we've witnessed a bullish surge in its price, surpassing the 30k range before pulling back to consolidate for another potential run.

Considering this, is it safe to say that we're experiencing a historically bullish October? Additionally, which alts are you considering accumulating before the year's end? Let's dive into the world of alts together.☺️
As I've read on one article from theblock, Gary said that they are either to approve it one by one or do it in batch. I think that gives some speculations that a spot Bitcoin ETF will really be approved. I wonder how would the market would react if it were to be approved, not mega bullish but it could mean a thing or two for those traditional investors who wanted it. No, don't talk about alts in here, we have a specific altcoins discussion to talk about alts.
305  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 19, 2023, 08:59:07 PM
James Harden is absent from training camp today and hasn’t been with the team since Sunday. It looks like he gave it a try but is now back to being on hiatus while trying to force his team’s hand and get him a trade to the Los Angeles Clippers. It seems like this has to happen before the season starts, so I’m expecting to hear something soon.

He is more likely serious about getting out from that team and he is legally doing everything he can to piss them off. I don't know where this drama will end, also the 76ers are not convinced to trade him and they are keeping him till now no matter how childish he acts these days. what could have been the reason why he made this kind of drama every time he wanted to get away from his responsibility?
I heard somewhere that talented people are also lazy. James Harden is also a name in this group. James Harden wants to leave the team, he does not attend the last practice, I wonder where this situation will go. I don't understand why the Philadelphia 76ers are still trying to keep him. I think this bond has been broken, what else can the club do to dispose of it somehow? It is obvious that James Harden's attitude is clear
This is like a deja vu of what happen on the same drama that initiated by Ben Simmons in the past and I think it will get the same result that Harden will be traded but not likely on the team he wants. Can't say if he's that lazy but I think that's not part of this getting-out-of Sixers drama, it's because he wanted to leave that he's likely keeping it real lazy just to deliver a message that it is a serious one.
306  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I think gambling is inbuilt, kids don't learn it anywhere, they do it! on: October 19, 2023, 08:10:07 PM
The Australian Government once said about abolishing gambling ads as a means of reducing gambling activities amongst underage people. But, I think they'll be no successful way of stopping young people from gambling. As it's in them. Most articles here also say things like gambling addiction being hereditary. That means gambling can be hereditary as well. Because I just watched from a distant two kids below 10 years, staking bets, after a long argument about who the artiste of a specific song is. They later staked close to 40 cents each, for the person who gets the answer right. Then they went ahead to verify. And I lost sight of them. I thought about, how come or who thought these kids about betting money during a long argument. I was able to memorize, back when I was a kid. We easily said, how much would you bet if it turns out I'm saying the truth; during an argument. It made me understand that, despite during those days we had no phones or access to the internet, gambling is somehow embedded to the brain of humans. Then, as a child, we weren't exposed to gambling. I could only remember of lotto, as a kid. But we still said things like "let's bet it"
It's being nurtured as well, it may not be directly being shown to them but somehow you won't be able to see this especially when they are out at home. Kids can easily imitate what their peers are doing or they somehow seen it from other adults outside.
307  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What altcoins do you think are currently still cheap but have good potential for on: October 18, 2023, 09:45:47 PM
My list would be:

1) Hive - it's social media blockchain, forked from Steem. Feeless, able community, already does things which evm chains are 'trying to do'.

2) Osmo: IBC chains hub

3) Arb: Highest TPS in layer 2 evm chains.

4) Op: I find those coins trusted which give free money to the community. Op is one of those.

5) Ether: Considering everything else aside from btc is altcoin, ether is obvious choice. Easy 3-4x from current prices.
Thanks for your input, tbh these are really good coins and will research more on them. I think OP and ARB will easy 5 billion market cap in the bull run. HIVE and Osmo aren't new to me but haven't really dive onto them but I think they are getting some tractions on CT especially the past month while I was browsing twitter.
308  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling on: October 18, 2023, 09:06:10 PM
I have often wondered about the people who have lost a lot in gambling and who almost loose in every gambling activity they participate. What is their reason or motivation to continue even after so many losses?
For me, I think it's either to go breakeven of that loss or get back at it or you really want to win, other case is that it was a combination of it and passing the time. The motivation is to not lose the next time of course, that's like having a dopamine even if you're just getting lost after lost, psychology probably has explanation for it.
309  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Some gambling questions. on: October 18, 2023, 10:44:23 AM
How many percent of signature earnings you gamble away?
Likely 2%. Most of my earnings will go either to the daily needs and wants but most will come to trading from now on. Been accumulating it for almost two years now but with the looming bull run, it's best to trade it and make more earnings.

Do you prefer Fiat or crypto at a display currency?
For what reason? Whatever may comes I'll just accept it, every platform tend to have different default display.

What is your favorite game you play all the time?
Right now, not anymore with those luck base games, more onto sports betting.

What is your favorite casino platform?
Rollbit, Roobet and local online crypto casinos.

Are you a responsible gambler?
I think I am considering I don't loss too much in it.

About doon sa Arena Plus, meron pa naman sila kabayan, si Jordan Clarkson pa nga raw yong kinuhang nilang endorser dito eh, nandyan lang yan sa mobile phone mo.
Congrats din sayo. Nasa tabla lang ako sa mga pusta ko ngayon between Chicago-Toronto, Milwaukee-Oklahoma City at Clippers-Nuggets. Naging maalat mga bet ko sa lalo na sa Milwaukee akala ko mag run sila considering naglaro naman sina Giannis at Lillard kahit sa first half lang kaso kulelat. Buti nalang nakabawi sa Clippers pero overall at loss ako pero maganda konti lang, nag live betting narin ako.

Oo nga nandoon pa pala ang Arena Plus akala ko wala na, wala lang sa "Hot Picks" category nila. Oo nga kinuha nila ata si JC noong magkakaroon ng FBWC.
311  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which old coin do you prefer? Litecoin or Dogecoin? on: October 17, 2023, 07:05:40 PM
Among the good-old coins listed on the market today, which one do you prefer the most? Litecoin or Dogecoin? The former is often used for serious cross-border payments at a fraction of the cost, while the latter is used more for micropayments/tipping. Despite these differences, it's no secret that DOGE is faster and cheaper to use than LTC itself (Dogecoin's block time is lower than Litecoin's, while market prices are cheaper). I'd choose both as they're tried-and-tested blockchain networks with decentralization and security/reliability in mind.

What would be your pick? And why did you choose that coin in the first place? Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Smiley
I think I'll pick DOGE considering it's way more popular than Litecoin and has way more room for development and it's likely backed by Elon (and I agree with what Xalolex said above). It's just a choice and I choose what could make a profit even more and that's DOGE. I have used DOGE more in the past compare to Litecoin and for me the ease of use will surely vary to every individuals, no doubt even if there's a poll it will be an easy win for DOGE.
312  Economy / Speculation / Re: Sad to see such manipulations in this market. on: October 17, 2023, 05:05:49 PM
I believe these manipulations made by a group of people or CEXs affect the inflow to the cryptocurrency. Small investors lost a lot of money yesterday on leverage or buying spot at top. I believe this is a %100 manipulation hence the ghost wick and BTC creating a short squeeze of 5K durin a war crisis. I also believe BTC will go back to 26.500 range soon. This type of moves create a media view of BTC as a scam and a manipulation device which the cex's or dex's who do manipulation will regret later. These are just my two cents.
I guess that cointelegraph said was true and they just hidden it by now, whoever posted that tweet might have been scolded or worst fired. Manipulation is present anywhere else and what more to just an emerging market? The market reacted simply and what more if that news was indeed true, it could be a parabolic run considering a lot of people are expecting as well that spot Bitcoin ETF especially in the US. I don't think that fake news was to see it as scam, it has long been know that manipulation and volatility around Bitcoin is always present considering it's not regulated fully.
Creating fake news and insider trading is a fraudalent behavior; not entitled to opinions unlike the poster who tried to turn the topic into my own life struggles; I won't be replying that type of posters from now on; If I did I would go as the same level of intelligence and humanity.
And if they were to be investigated for that fraudulent behavior then I'll be happy for that, but what I'm emphasizing is that these large players will continue to manipulate even not in this market. Not gonna comment on that but as I see it, they're just having their own opinions which may totally not matter if I may asked.
313  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 17, 2023, 04:55:26 PM
I watched a little bit of the NBA basketball preseason in between watching the Monday Night Football game last night.  I can't believe that we are already at the pre-season mark for the NBA as well as the NHL having already starting.

I can't wait to see how the Chicago Bulls do coming out of the gate.  No Ball is still quite depressing and I hope he starts to make progress but I feel he may be done for good.
I just wait until the regular season to come as well as the in-season tournament and what might be excited to watch would be on West C and East B, (I've been doing some bets already even it's only the preseason). For West C we have that two 7 footers Victor and Chet and they are fun to watch even in their preseason match just recently, flexing how they dominate the court. For East B, I think it would be excited to watch Bucks and Heat. I wish he will recover, what a waste of a young rising star if he'll be gone for good tbh.

315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: October 17, 2023, 02:18:28 PM
I want to pose a question that I believe is quite expensive for many of us here, and it's a dilemma most of us can relate to. We all know that gambling is a game where we put our luck to the test. However, there's a crucial moment in every gambler's journey. the moment when you hit that big win. Do you cash out and savor your victory, or do you continue playing in hopes of even bigger winnings?
Right now that only thing that keeps me playing with a casino is when I deposit then they'll required me a wagering requirements. Well, back to your question, I think I'll set some conditions for an instance if that win is really huge then I'll quit but if it's not then play along. Usually, we tend to mind these things a lot but if you have a particular goal in mind this will solve almost everything even if you win or at loss.
316  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you think about trading feature? on: October 16, 2023, 09:52:17 PM
Gambling sites like Bc.game and Rollbit now include trading feature in their casinos. In this game we need to predict small fluctuations in price over a short period of time.
This is became my favorite game. What do you think of this game?
Do you think this game gives us some advantage/edge to casino? Because most of the time, prices tend to Follow a repeating pattern like Up-Down Up-Down in a range.
Never tried it but I think it's still gambling for me and not actually trading, probably just the part that it has charts but it ain't literally trading if I may asked. I don't think this will give you advantage at all unless you're really good at it, in the end it's still gambling and there's no guarantee you'll win at every turn.
317  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: October 16, 2023, 12:26:36 PM
Hindi ako nakapaglaro sa Okbet dahil may thread na ata na ginawa si eternad na sobrang hassle daw yong Okbet kaya iniwasan ko nalang pero maganda naman yong Sportsplus at saka yong Arena Plus gamitin kaya nag-stick nalang ako sa dalawa. Instant deposit at withdrawal naman yong dalawang sports betting apps kaya walang problema.
Wala na ata yung Arena Plus sa Gcash kasi hindi na siya mahagilap, mukhang OKbet ang ipinalit nila pero nandiyan pa yung SportsPlus. Testing lang yun mabuti nalang 1k lang nilagay ko.

Good luck sa bet mo kabayan pero parang paswertehan nalang yong mga pre-season games ngayon dahil yong mga star players ng bawat koponan ay limitado lang yong minuto ng laro. Ang strategy ko ay kadalasan nagli-live betting ako at kung sino yong naghahabol ay doon ako pupusta pagkatapos ng first half pero syempre with handicap, maganda naman yong resulta.
Kaya nga eh, pero ng Malaman kong hindi maglalaro yung dalawang leading scorers ng Spurs sa nakaraang laro nila, napagdesisyunan ko na may tsansa na naman yung Rockets na makabingwit ng panalo. Maganda nga iyan pero pwede namang pumusta ulit sa live if ever ma approve lang yung KYC sa OKbet.
318  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: October 16, 2023, 07:57:46 AM
Sino rito yung nakapaglaro na sa Okbet sa Gcash app? Nag require sila ng KYC at ang masaklap doon akala ko kaparehas lang sila ng sportsplus na mag deposit ka ma-withdraw mo rin agad-agad pero hindi pala kaya wala akong choice kung hindi magpada ng requirements. Kaunting kaalaman lang kung sakaling mayroong mapadpad sa kanila.

By the way, since wala na akong magagawan doon kaya nag bet na lang din ako sa preseason game ng Houston Rockets vs. San Antonio Spurs. Pabor ako sa Houston @1.89 -4.5 kasi hindi maglalaro si Wemby at Vassel sa kanila although hindi rin maglalaro si Jalen Green sa Rockets. Still, maganda pinapakita ni Vanvleet, Brooks At Smith Jr. noong mga nakaraang games nila at 2-0 na sila na which I think mag tutuloy-tuloy ito.

Well, past halving histories never disappoints the ATH stuff. For me the predictability is present but what if we're wrong this time and what if we just experience stability in price and not some ATH? If we're about to see new ATH by 2024-2025 then I'd say we  better position right now.
320  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Government job or private job? on: October 14, 2023, 03:02:01 PM
As they said, government job is better compare to private job because it is permanent and pensionable and the job is more secured. Though private job too some are pensionable but not permanent and not that secured. And again in private job, you have the opportunity to let them know how much you want to be paid. You can either be paid higher or lower base on how you present yourself.

Which one do you prefer if you are given an offer?
From what you've given it's like government job was the highlighted one that will be favored to. TBH I'm not into government job but for me there are lot of advantageous things when you're into private job but what's the most advantageous is having you as the boss like having a business. Though it's risky, it's worth it as well if you know what you're venturing. I'm into the latter and I will pursue it.
