1041  Economy / Economics / Re: Monthly or weekly pay? Fixed or percentage earning? what is your prefrence. on: February 04, 2023, 06:29:51 PM
if I were an employee, I would ask my boss to pay me weekly. being paid weekly is actually much better than being paid monthly because usually people who are paid monthly will enter into a debt circle unless the payment received per month is large enough and can cover expenses every day.
Usually, the amount paid on a monthly basis is bigger than the pay we get per week and per 15 days which can be enough to budget to reach another monthly payment again. Getting involved in debt won't be based on how long we get our payment because I already saw people who are still involved in debt even though they are being paid daily, weekly and per 15 days. If you are an employee, you can't just tell your boss to pay you per week but they have the right to decide if what time or day they will pay you.

For me, I prefer to be paid in percentage because there is a way for my earnings to be maximized if there are days that I feel more energetic to work for extra hours.

I can't find the percentage of institutional investors in Bitcoin, but the result on Google is roughly 50%, so it is really huge, and if they sell off, then it would decrease the price. Though I am not sure of the data, I think it is impossible for them to sell off or stay away from bitcoin as it plays a big factor for them. Also, for sure, those institutional investors are not of the same mind, so mostly there are only a few of them if they want to do this.
You mean you can't find the exact data? Well, I think that's normal and all that we see in the web are only just an estimation but they are still close to the exact number so they can still be reliable. 50 percent is huge. I expect something lesser than this because I believe that institutional investors prefer a traditional investment instrument such as stocks and these kinds of assets are also more legal that in Bitcoin.

Many of them might sell off once the bull market returns but I think you are right that they won't sell all together as some has a higher standards the other. Even without their help, a normal individual can still invest continuously so BTC price can always rise.

We must avoid FOMO because we will rush into analyzing, which can result in mistakes in analyzing and making decisions.
But unfortunately, there are still many traders who don't care about it and instead, they decide to follow the price which has started to move.
They don't think that price manipulation can cause them to suffer losses because they only think that they can quickly act according to the market.
Emotions will not allow us to gain profits but will cause us to suffer losses.
Those who FOMO don't take time to analyse but they just rush on buying on what is currently hot in the market. If we will rush analysing then it's better if we can't just analyse because that will still be useless. There are so many things which can go wrong if you will rush things. In trading, emotions is one of our enemies so we must learn on how to eliminate them.

There are bots which doesn't have an emotion but we can't jump on them immediately if we still don't know if what are the best coins that will work in trading. Not only bots are immune to manipulations and fuds but they can also help us to be free, I mean we can now trade automatically while enjoying our life outside.

Djokovic has the Australian Open with a great display of power. But Alcaraz was not there, the number 1 in the world. He would have had a really hard time with that. And against Nadal in good form too. But Alcaraz had to miss this tournament due to an injury and Nadal was actually unable to continue in the 2nd round. If both had been fit, it would have been a lot more difficult for Djokovic. Perhaps most memorable was Murray's performance, who at times returned to his old level of 10 years ago when he was among the best tennis players in the world at the time. Yet with Murray I always felt that he was in the shadow of players like Djokovic, Federer and Nadal.
After watching his quality and performance into Australian Open now I have feeling he is still much better and younger than new generation players and have enough years to rule this tennis court with this game, and we will have too many records against his name in coming years even we lost few top rank players but still he was playing like champions and now all eyes on French Open where things could be completely different, and we will have challenging matches for him but unfit Nadal is surely going to be hurt if he is not going to play in French Open with Alcaraz is also looking impressive, but injury is surely issue for many players hopefully he will be able to join here and give his best on clay court which is clearly ruled by Nadal for many years.

Is this allocation of your total funds or a calculation of budgeted money for cryptocurrency? If this is just a calculation of your budget to invest in cryptocurrency then it is fine but if you calculate this way to invest all of your total assets in cryptocurrency then you will face a big danger at some point. Cryptocurrencies you must invest in.  But it should be 5 to 10% of your total assets. And the rest of the money you can invest in different assets and different types of business that will protect you from all sides.  So never depend on only one thing. Bitcoin is a potential and very valuable asset so it is foolish to depend only on Bitcoin
He said "earning breakdown" so this must be the earnings that he got from his crypto activities and as we can see he just return most of it to cryptos to be able to grow it again. Earnings from his other side hustles may not be included there. We should not invest all of our money in crypto because there are still risks as we don't know what's coming up ahead.

Maybe the coin that we invest go down for some reason, something like that and there is no way for them to recover anymore. So, it's always better to use only amounts which you can afford to lose easily. A serious investors know how to diversify. They can mitigate the risk by also investing in a less volatile assets.
1046  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: February 02, 2023, 08:04:31 PM
I bet everyone is looking forward to that match. Barcelona has greatly improved in their defense but feel their midfield is lacking in the form of Busquets. I think he would be slow to hold the fast and agile attackers Manchester United has and if they could capitalize on that, it could be good.

During the absence of Lewandoski, Dembele has been very instrumental and very effective in their attacks. But now he’s back, it would be an added plus for Barcelona. Very exciting game ahead.
In this season we have good viewership for the UEFA Europa Cup due to many big teams are involved in this event but still this match between Manchester United vs Barcelona is the biggest event with too much interaction for this match and things are heated up because both teams are doing amazing performance in last few rounds and having good results in their respective leagues specially Manchester United which is now in EFL Cup final after beating Nottingham in semifinal with this all things are looking interesting and fans are also desperate for this big match with most chances we will have no good number of goals in this match because both teams will try to play safely and have advantage in their first match which is going to play after two weeks at Camp Nou Barcelona.
1047  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: When they does push the button of Bullrun? on: February 02, 2023, 05:55:02 PM
what is means if alot of bitcoin transfer from exchange to unknown wallet?, Is they understand if Not your key not your BTC? or they know if the button has been pressed.
That is what we call, ""whales filling their bags"". For those who have whole lot to invest, the current price is not too bad if they are going in for long term, and most of the whales keep buying throughout the period when the price was dropping or even going up since they can benefit from both sides.

Not sure what this has anything to do with a bull run.
But, remember the situation where more bitcoins are being deposited into exchange wallets, we do have bear market and then why not we assume about the reciprocal now?
1048  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: When is ever the right time. on: February 01, 2023, 07:08:42 PM
Most of the time those who feel regrets are also the same people who keeps saying that it's needed to wait for more downfall, expecting that huge dump will follow the current market and unable to buy when the price is cheap.

You can't predict the market accurately but if you trust your knowledge, you can anticipate and buy from
the position that you believe you can hold. Crypto market is mostly a business of patience, you need to'have
lot to enjoy the benefits.
Sometimes it takes not twice but more mistakes for the people to finally learn. Many of us are once like that who are only great at giving advices while we also don't follow our own but now not anymore. We already corrected it because it just doesn't feel right.

Right now, when we say we want to wait for the bottom, we  also do a DCA or partially buying after each dip so that no hard feelings once the price didn't continue falling down. Given that the market is unpredictable then I don't think our knowledge can do a lot but rather you should say that we must also trust our own instincts or on what our heart says as sometimes it's more powerful than our mind.
1049  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 01, 2023, 06:29:43 PM
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is reportedly gearing up to appoint Mickey Arthur as the 'online coach' of their senior men's national team. It has been reported that Arthur will be available on-site only for limited assignments while parallely working as the full-time coach for Derbyshire County Cricket Club. The decision from PCB has invited mixed reactions from fans while former captain Shahid Afridi also remains skeptical of Arthur's return, that too as an 'online coach'.
There is too much noise about this appointment because now things are going from bad to worse in Pakistan after change of Chairman they fail to hire any full time coach and now having services like this is surely creating more mess up with many former cricketers are also criticizing this decision from the Najam Sethi but right now taking anything about this is also not fair, but I'm personally feeling now Pakistan cricket is again going down for some years as we have few years back.

Shahid Afridi is also now have some concerns about few things but most chances no one can stop Najam Sethi from his experiments even in past he has good results but now how things will happen nothing is clear and overall Pakistan situation is also going to be more down with Peshawar Masjid Bomb attack.
1050  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: February 01, 2023, 06:24:33 AM
PSG will likely fire Galtier if they fail to win the Ligue 1 title. However, PSG's main target is the Champions League. If PSG is able to play well by playing champions, then maybe PSG will keep Galtier as coach. And they will try to make the party stronger. Even if PSG can't play well in Ligue 1, they have the potential to play well in Champions League. Because their opponents Bayern Munich are not in good form. They have drawn in the last three matches. So if PSG's three attacking players can play well then they can win against Bayern Munich.
After having these matches after the break look like Galtier is going to have numbered days as coach of the PSG because they lost eight points but their luck giving them good chance second spotted Lens is also having lost six points in all away games otherwise they can claim for the top rank in Ligue 1 and with this performance if they are going to face Bayern Munich and lost match then surely things could be completely change and PSG will search for the another coach even right now situation in Bayern Munich is also same because they are also unable to win any match from their last three matches after the break while having two matches at home which is also not good currently these both leagues are having same performance from the leaders which is also interesting, and we can expect good fight for the Champions League match between these two teams.
1051  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: We lose on the long run through return percentage on: January 31, 2023, 08:18:20 PM
Gambling business owners need to have strategic mindset in order for their business to thrive successfully and be in par with the existing and reputable casinos. If the manager of the casino do not organize what they have to do and what to accomplish, they certainly will not attain it. Business owners have to set a specific goal and a specific time frame for it to be achieved.

They need to utilize their resources in order to make their casino one of the choices a player will have in mind if ever they are actively finding one. for the side of the gambler, it isn't enough to possess the fund needed in order to make a bet, and instead one must possess discipline and a critical mind to think and make worthwhile decisions.
Business owners have to focus on one thing which is profiting, and casinos are type of a business model and they have to focus on making profit. Most of them tend to be legit because they know that they will make a profit if they stay legit too, a few end up with shady moves and not allowing withdrawals and freezing accounts and so forth and try to make sure they end up with something that is a bit more on the risky side.

I believe that we shouldn't be really explaining this to people, because house edge is there to make sure casinos earn, and if they do something shady on top of that, then it's a bye bye and nobody will gamble there and they won't make any more money.
1052  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you consider spreading FUD to be unethical? on: January 31, 2023, 07:15:00 PM

Yes, it's unethical. The benefit of doing it I guess is worth it that's why there are article sites doing it. There are no rules that will prevent people from doing it either I guess they are not violating laws too.

But there are seasons when FUD also disappears also. It's kind of a pattern that you might wanna look at. Either Bulls or Bears, they both spread fud.
Obviously it is, due to its meaning. The one who does this are spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt to the public which will then scares them or make them worry and can result for them to sell their coins to those who spread it. It's not the article sites are the ones who does this but maybe some of them are only being paid to post a FUD news.

Sometimes it's hard to resist the temptation especially if you are being paid with huge amounts of sum. I think the times where FUD appears the most is when the market is in bearish mode because people are already weak or fragile during these times so they are very vulnerable to FUD attacks.
1053  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading as a newbie? on: January 31, 2023, 05:33:01 PM
Those newbies who got scammed are those newbies who want to earn profit easily and fast, not thinking that this could be the wrong move. There is nothing wrong with getting scammed; for sure, we will learn from our mistakes and avoid them next time, but our mindset is that we could get easy profit from it with no effort at all, which means that we settle on this and find it rewarding. Also, newbies right now tend to follow those influencers to buy the coin as they said, and it's because they are famous so we follow them and we end up losing.
It's impossible if they won't have a second thought whether the thing that they will venture is safe or not especially if someone promise them a crazy high return at a short period of time in exchange of a little money but it's also written on their rule that the more money you will put the more return you will get so those newbies will usually opt for this plan. There is wrong with getting scammed and that is someone might be greedy and has a lack of knowledge.

Don't say it's fine because they will just do it again and again. Following the influencers just because they are famous is a lame excuse. We should be aware that influencers are only like an endorser. They don't know what they are endorsing but they might lie and say that they are benefiting from it.
1054  Economy / Economics / Re: I have resolved into buying more and caring less on: January 31, 2023, 12:26:48 PM
The question is, aren't you ready for the coins you will buy and hold for a long time? so that at least if the market moves unexpectedly you have something to look forward to in the long term apart from the style you are doing now as a holder or trader.

You're not the only one doing the kind of style you're doing dude, maybe the only thing you need is to have a time frame for when you're going to buy or sell so at least in this kind of thing you have monitoring of what you're doing.
He won't say that oath if he is not ready or committed to do a long-term hodling. I feel that the OP is sick and tired now from all the distractions and losses that he is getting when he notice that the price of Bitcoin can always recover after the storm.

On your second sentence, I think you are saying to have a plan b? This isn't a bad idea but again the OP might not be needing it tho this is great for those who aren't truly committed to do a long-term hodling.

Long-term hodlers can buy at any time but those who are into shorter terms might need a proper timing for buying. But long-term hodlers don't just invest for nothing. They do also monitor the market as they also have their own selling price target.
1055  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it safe to buy now? on: January 30, 2023, 08:39:02 PM
yes the market is good but no one can determined that in future it will rise or reduce in cost. But I can suggest that Matic can give you profit if you buy it now and also you can invest in Ethereum and bitcoin.

If you are newbies then you should realize that varying amount of money should be invest in various coins and do not use large part of your money because no one knows that what will be the condition of market in next month.

Investment in Bitcoin and ethereum can reduce your losses as all of individuals who choose these coin get enhanced profit. One thing necessary is to know that the value of market changes regularly so be careful and work with active mind.
That's true, because they are the top two coins and they rarely ever have any issues, or drama or problems. It means that if you invest into bitcoin or ethereum, or even better yet if you invest into both of them at the same time, then you will make a profit.

I am not saying that it is going to be a problem or anything like that, it is going to be pretty tough but it is going to be a great deal when the time comes. That is why I believe that we should not be really be looking towards anything lower or worse, it would be pretty tough and definitely not something I would suggest if you want a sure thing, lower level altcoins are as far from sure thing as it gets. I would suggest getting bitcoin and ethereum instead.
1056  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you like commission job or salary base job? on: January 29, 2023, 10:19:40 AM
Those who are experienced or professional certainly prefer work commissions to salary, this is because they can arrange jobs or complete work faster than people who rely on salary jobs who usually work according to the duration or time routine, of course we have to think about being able to commission jobs so we have to always improve our skills.
In salary based jobs, you can also gain an experience on them and then there are also salary jobs which are professional. Commission jobs on the other hand can be unstable although the earning potential is high but I think most of the people will still prefer and stick on those salary based jobs.

Salary job workers can still complete their work faster and then leave early at work without needing to complete that 8 hours. 8 hours is only the minimum time that a salary worker must spend. Finish or not, they will go home and continue their jobs again tomorrow. They can also do overtime and work beyond 8 hours to be able to earn more.

When it comes to Freelancing, your almost completely free from all that. Once your registered and is able to login to the network, you got a go at it. You dont need much experience and the tasks is directional. On like trading that a complete novice can't go into and hope to profit from trading.
What makes you think that freelancing is a cup of tea and it is doable without much knowledge and experience?
Do you know that to offer your services, apart from what you are offering, you also need to have knowledge about SEO techniques and practices? Moreover, not having enough writing skills will surely make you a failure in the field.

And one of the most important things is communication, you can simply not survive as a seller in any marketplace if you are not a good communicator. All of these skills needed to be learnt and that also is an extensive process as what I have experienced in my situation; yes, I am talking from my personal experiences.
1058  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Future of NFT on: January 27, 2023, 11:12:32 AM
We saw images being a thing for NFT world, how about we start seeing something else. There is now a great deal of effort going into publishing world working within the NFT sphere as well, basically e-books but in NFT format meaning you would be able to buy and own a book, you could find torrented version anywhere anyway, so this way if you bought the book, you would have the nft of it, and if you ever want to sell it, you could do that as well.

I believe that it would be something decent if people worked on it properly and that is just one thing. We will see the NFT world spread towards many more industries and not just images, that will be the future of it.
Some are plain image but those are only built in hopes of earning an easy money while the original/legit NFT is more than just a simple image. They also come with different perks. Publishing world on the other hand are I think dead. The interest on physical books have gotten lesser and lesser.

There are electronic versions of books or so called e-books but I think they have nothing to do with NFT. Both of them are just separated. Other than images in NFT. There are also musical NFT, Gif's, and videos but the best one among all would be the games. So far they are more successful because people enjoy them while being profitable at the same time.

I think it's too fast for a goat.
35 years is indeed enough to retire but for Messi I don't think he will go that fast regardless of anything even if he wants to spend his old age I think he will still continue to play at least for the next few seasons.
Now with his current age he is still very fit and still able to continue to compete even though his skills are still above average so retirement is definitely not a hope for him now.
Currently, he is just 35 and his body is also in good shape which can allow him for stay into ground for the next 3 or 4 years which is surely not bad because now he is new GOAT in soccer with the World Cup win in Qatar for his country Argentina but now his recent activities indicating he can follow Cristiano Ronaldo for the Saudi club which is giving dream salary and things are also good and favourable for many players so with this he also can take good advantage even it's all just prediction but still in soccer anything is possible for any player.

Right now his first target is won Champions League title for his current club PSG which already spend good amount for this win but sadly unable to have this prestigious trophy in last one decade, but now things are looking good and improved in presence of many big names in current soccer world hopefully after this changes will happen.
1060  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading With Borrowed Funds!!! on: January 26, 2023, 09:29:58 PM
I experience this once in my real business  though it is not trading or some online transactions yet I borrowed in Lending to use in my food business but as it progress? the business did not materialize and this leaves me having a debit increasing its percentage each week and it took me at least almost a year to pay off, since then? never that i borrowed any amount for investment but I only borrow for emergency purposed amounting that i can pay back sooner.
I already heard a same case and there are even bigger businesses or loans. Some are fortunate to grow their business even more and they can be able to pay that loan on time while some are just unfortunate. Well, that is life.

We need to try and take risk to see if what will be the outcome but at least you only loan a money which you think you can easily pay once the outcome didn't run well right? This is the important thing that a loaner must follow but the term in your loan is crazy if the interest grows every week. I think that's not fair. I heard that we can be able to report these kinds of lenders to the authorities because they are taking advantage of someone else.
