1081  Economy / Speculation / Re: How was your belief formed? on: January 18, 2023, 09:22:32 AM
I thought I would like to know how your trust process builds up in investing your money in bitcoins?
I began my Bitcoin journey in 2016 when Bitcoin entered a bullish phase, seeing my money increase by 50% in a few weeks made me very enthusiastic about Bitcoin, I immediately started believing that it's the future of money, it will replace banks and fiat currency and so on.

Then with years I started thinking about Bitcoin and its state more carefully, I realized that it is rarely used as a currency, so I started thinking about it more as a digital gold, a safe haven, a hedge against inflation. Then the covid times came and subsequent turmoil in global economy, and Bitcoin in my eyes failed the test.

I still hold a lot of Bitcoin because I think the bull/bear cycles will continue and it's possible to make a good profit from them, but I'm not emotionally attached to Bitcoin to HODL it no matter what.
This is what a typical noob in crypto look like. They easily get attracted after hearing/seeing that the price of Bitcoin is rising fast but unfortunately by the time they enter the value of BTC will eventually go down. They will rattle and sell and call it a scam lol but I salute those who stay and congrats to them because they likely recover their losses now after building up some experience and knowledge about how this BTC or this market works.

It was before when people rarely use their BTC as a currency because there are less people who know it and then it is less recognized by the government but now the scene has change. BTC now is being use like a regular money.

MU's very solid defense was indeed an important point in the match. especially Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw. these two centre-backs made a big contribution in that match. Attack after attack from Manchester City was always successfully thwarted by Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw. besides that, MU's attack line also became more effective in that match. So yes, when MU did become superior on all fronts. But in the next match MU will face Arsenal. And I think we must have mixed thoughts about the outcome of this fight. because of course this will be a very fierce fight.
After having completely balanced unit Ten Haq is surely proud man with this all because his strategy works, and they have the best defense and attack which is giving them good results while playing against the best teams as well Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw at his best with natural skills which is important for the game now they are going to face another challenge Arsenal which will give them tough challenge if they are able to do this with positive note then surely we can expect good future and golden days back at the Old Trafford after the retirement of the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson hopefully they could be taken third spot from Newcastle United after beating Crystal Palace.

In as much Dortmund sells their best players they are still trying their best to be in a good a position. Dortmund still have the chances of securing better position before the season ends. Sometimes having best players in a team does not guarantee a team will win a competition.
Top 4 will be enough for dortmund. Dortmund may need to use new strategy again. Some players will be leaving the club as soon as possible. Dortmund needs to get a new formation that will be suitable for the new players.
At least if dortmund tried to defend some of its best players and dortmund will still able to compete at the top of standings. Dortmund some times need to consider try to keep some good players for long term.
Dortmund was also very need experienced players too.
If Borussia Dortmund wants to stay in top four then surely they will not sell their any new exciting player because they are suffering and if in this condition they will sell any player surely this could be not good aspect for them with these things could be complicated for them and their performance can go down even right now situation needs change, and they need few good players for better results because if they are not able to have better results surely this could be big setback for them.

Hopefully after the start of this phase they will develop better way and have good winning strategy which give them positive results and time for fighting against top rank teams which have good quality and performance before break and higher rank as well.
1084  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 16, 2023, 08:38:04 PM
Empoli have just one loss from their last five games and three draws... And Sampdoria have lost their last two games, although not to weak opponents... But Sampdoria failed to score in these games against Fiorentina and Napoli... Bookmakers are giving good odds for Empoli to win, but I think the teams have equal chances...
Recently empoli team has only lost to top teams in the table they are a tough opponent and allways cause trouble to teams, in the last game they made an impressive comeback against lazio after being behind 2 0 and managed a draw i don't think they have equal chances, i think the odds are quite high for empoli win but sampdoria might surprise us today who knows but they must be in top shape to do that.
Both clubs have almost equal strength. Sampdoria also did a comeback against Lazio in their fourth match this season and also drew with Juventus in their second match when Juventus key players haven't gone on injury. Sampdoria might come with big surprise even as the visit Empoli in their home.
After the end of first half we have four yellow cards and balanced performance from the both sides, even Empoli is doing better due to having home advantage in this match but Sampdoria is also alert and not allowing them for having any dangerous threat for them.

Sampdoria is having nine points from the 17 matches with just two wins and three draws which put them in relegation zone and most chances they could be stayed here for the next few weeks as well because things are looking not good for them and Empoli is surely better side which is mostly stayed in the middle of the league table because they have balanced side which giving them good results against weaker sides in 19th round they are going to face inter which is currently at the fourth spot in league table.
1085  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it safe to buy now? on: January 16, 2023, 10:24:22 AM
Go for Bitcoin and you should have done this since the last quarter of 2022, though of course the current price are still safe since that is still not the peak price we are looking for, new ATH can still happen in the future so buying right now is always a good decision. As a beginner, you should also spend some time learning the market, for now the safest coin that you can get is Bitcoin, just buy some when you already know when to buy and sell, don't rush in the market just follow the basic rules.
Yeah, bitcoin is often considered a safe bet for new traders due to its historical performance and overall market dominance. The fact that it was the first cryptocurrency and has been around the longest, it's considered a more stable coin than others. It's also important to note that Bitcoin's price tends to be more volatile than other cryptocurrencies, which can make it a more risky investment.

Bitcoin's historical performance suggests that it has a higher potential for growth in the long term. Moreover, Bitcoin has a larger market capitalization and trading volume than other cryptocurrencies, making it more liquid and easier to buy and sell. It's also important to remember that the market is constantly changing and the price of Bitcoin and other coins can be affected by a variety of factors, such as regulatory changes, adoption, and overall market sentiment. So, it's necessary to keep an eye on the market and to be prepared to make quick decisions.
1086  Economy / Economics / Re: EU solution to energy crisis: print more money and ensure economic crisis! on: January 14, 2023, 08:15:21 PM
Not surprisingly, the TERRORISTIC war against a PEACEFUL state is supported by representatives of countries, to put it mildly, from countries with not the most adequate regime. Moreover, Ukraine has never harmed these stars in any way. But this is an excellent example of the psychology of a criminal - the criminal is trying to justify others similar to his crimes in order to calm and inspire the sbeeb himself that in fact it is not he who is the criminal, it is the whole world against him. But if this is done against his country, the squeals will be universal. Moreover, the criminal will not have any dissonance - it is the norm for him to commit a crime, but to bear a DESERVED punishment is a crime Smiley

I am sure that after the defeat of the country of terrorizing Russia, they will pay attention to the rest of his accomplices and help them become "more peaceful"
It is not appropriate to use language that promotes violence or denigrates entire countries or groups of people. It is important to approach conflicts and political issues with respect and empathy, and to avoid language that dehumanizes or demonizes others. It is also important to consider multiple perspectives and to avoid making assumptions or jumping to conclusions based on limited information. While there may be many factors at play in a conflict, it is important to seek out accurate and unbiased information, and to consider the complexity of the situation.

I would encourage you to engage in constructive dialogue and to seek out solutions that promote peace and understanding, rather than promoting further conflict and animosity.
1087  Economy / Speculation / Re: what caused bitcoin to go up this january 2023 on: January 14, 2023, 04:03:24 PM
but I want to ask is bitcoin going to a bull run, or is it just a trap,? which later the price of bitcoin will fall again to 18000 or 17000?
At around 07:45:00 AM today the Bitcoin price chart was at a price level of $21K passing the price of $18.9K yesterday. Any increase for us is a good sign. We can't give you the answer behind today's Bitcoin price increase.

But in my personal opinion, there is a suspicion that many investors are starting to apply patterns to hold Bitcoin assets in the long term so that the percentage of selling is starting to decrease.

Whether this is a sign of a bull run, I dare not say that this is a sign of a bull run because from the price of $21K, the Bitcoin price is now at $20.4K. Nonetheless, we expect this upward trend to continue.
We definitely can't say what was the reason it went up, but we could definitely say that it's a good thing, that part is a no brainer. When bitcoin goes up, it doesn't just profit at that moment, it also allows us to build a better foundation to a higher price which helps us get better.

I know that it's not going to be easy to accept this as a truth that easily, but if you could focus on being better at stay higher then it is easier to jump from there. But this requires it to stay at around these prices a little while longer, you can't just end up being good and then work towards making it possible without staying good, you have to first establish the current price.
1088  Economy / Economics / Re: Twitter could launch in-app ‘coins’ to help creators make money on: January 13, 2023, 05:23:56 PM
Could that disrupt the freelance writing market where some authors are paid by number of words published?
What does this have to do with freelance writing? Freelance writers get hired to write texts for someone. Twitter is just a microblogging platform. It's a completely different field.

Twitter wasn't a profitable company before Musk, and now it's losing its main source of revenue, which is advertising, as the result of Musk's decisions. And introducing some tokens or subscription is not going to even undo the damage. There's a high chance Twitter will go bankrupt in the next 2-3 years.
Twitter is actually a social media platform and not some kind of a blog/micro-blogging site. For blogs, we have the popular blogger dot com and there are other famous platforms as well like WordPress dot com. This new update of Twitter may disrupt other freelancing sites but not specifically those are into writing, as some freelancers might try this out and if it works well on them then they will focus on it.

Before Musk, I think Twitter is one of the leading social media sites so this means they are also earning well. This is why the deal took a while because Jack did also think twice if he will sell his beloved company to Elon or not but the huge offer, made him surrender it. There might be some changes now but as we can see, Elon is constantly doing an update.
1089  Economy / Gambling / Re: What sort of Weekly & Monthly Bonuses do Bitcointalk members want? on: January 13, 2023, 03:24:43 PM
The gamblers wants all bonuses that possible. So if you want to get gamblers choice the best way is to make a list with the variants you can suggest. In any other way you can get a huge quantity of offers. And the most part of them you wouldn`t like.
The result of this thread can be analyze of all suggestions and the new thread with the list of the best of them that you can afford.
I guess with tons of suggestion came from other members OP already decided what kind of strategy they will make to courage a lot of players with their possible gambling promotions, hoping they will consider those suggestions given to them, so they can bring good satisfaction and entertainment really needed to give by the gambling casino.
Players are really smart these days and they notice how much of the loss is the casino giving back to them. Stake popularized the monthly and weekly bonus while they reduced the rakeback. I am quite sure years back rakeback used to be 10% but has now been reduced to 5%. They just used that 5% to give more on other places like weekly and level up bonuses (gameplay)

All these bonuses only make sense when you have a reputed casino with some history. I would rather play on a casino that gives out less bonuses than risking my money on a new casino with too many bonuses. So it's important to reach that level of trustworthiness as well on top of bonuses.
1090  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin & Anonymity on: January 13, 2023, 10:33:34 AM
We can use blockchain explorers to check transactions, UTXOs.
List of useful Bitcoin block explorers

You can use https://www.walletexplorer.com/ for address grouping and wallet labeling.

Services like Chainalysis too.

Exchanges have to fulfill requirements from governments nationally and regionally about KYC, AML so they have internal metrics and tools to detect wallets, addresses, UTXO movements. If exchanges have these tools, governments have them too. If governments require officially, exchanges will give them reports too.
If they are a centralized exchange but luckily there are still decentralized exchanges that we can use if we want to attain anonymity. I understand why some governments do that. It's not that they want to control bitcoin but they are only concerned of the growing scams and frauds happening in the bitcoin world. With the help of KYC, the identity of those scammers and fraudsters will be identified easily so it will now be easier to catch and punish them accordingly.

I know that the KYC system of the exchange isn't 100 percent perfect at the moment and some criminals can still get away with their crimes but let's hope this will be improved soon and they will tighten their securities more for the safety of the users.
1091  Economy / Economics / Re: My investments ahead of the 2024 halving 100% Bitcoin on: January 12, 2023, 09:09:54 PM
Actually high risk will earn high return later and Bitcoin is worth for investing but can't increasing up or faster than altcoin investment, I don't sure for next time halving Bitcoin back to higher price and earn more than 100% profitable than holding or investing in altcoin. I don't doubt with Bitcoin stable and potential break out to higher price actually when halving time coming, due Bitcoin reached up I think Altcoin will follow up and more bigger profit earn than Bitcoin investment.

I believe when halving time in 2024, Altcoin price increase up more than 300% above than Bitcoin actually can up 20% until 50% but you need waiting more than two years left before halving.
Some says BTC is a high risk investment but for me I don't really consider it as one, since there is always a chance for it to recover in case it drops or you entered at a wrong time. A real high risk investment are those altcoins. Can be old or new but mostly new ones.

I know there are still alts who remains legit but we don't know long they can remain like that so we should always monitor them if ever we have added them in our portfolio. The upcoming halving which is said to take place by next year is for Bitcoin so this must be the coin that will pumped a lot not altcoins but it is still up to you if you will prioritize altcoins more than it. It was still your money after all.
1092  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Do you know one can make millions with Launchpads? on: January 12, 2023, 03:31:30 PM
There is a good chance that we could end up with a good launchpad that vets the projects very carefully and gives us only the ones that have both a good finance, a good team and also a good roadmap.

However, right now they only let it be, and pick whoever could possibly pay them the most and that is not normal, that should not be acceptable thing at all. I know people are too worried about what is going to happen with their investments but if you are really worried then do not invest into things that are brand new, that just doesn't make sense to me. I understand it is a very boring thing to just hold bitcoin, but I rather do something that is boring than lose money.
I think the only way to tell if the launchpad is good is by checking out the projects that they support. If the projects that they support are great and seems legit then you are on the right place. It can be rare for a reputable launchpad to risk or trade their reputation for a good amount of money but the ones that can do that the most are those launchpads who are already shady or those who are still new in the market.

People invest in new projects, not because they are bored but because they think they can find a hidden gem there. Not all new projects are a scam and in fact there are also old projects who still can go bad or can turn in to a scam later on.
1093  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Holding could be better on: January 12, 2023, 09:39:44 AM
Its a personal choice on what you would really be dealing with since not all are really that good when it comes to scalping or short trade which they would rather decide to hold than to take risk on something that they arent really be able to be good at or something that they could handle it out and this is why people would decide that they will really just hold instead.Of course holding wont really be that simple as well specially
if you do able to see this market which does move on a random or no path manner which it would leave you some questions in mind on how these things could happen.
You do blink nor sleep you would be potentially missing out some price actions.
Learning or doing a research is free. If only we did that before we start investing then we won't wonder anymore on why the price moves. It may be true that the price can move in a random fashion. That's because cryptos are unregulated or decentralized but I think most of the times, the price is influenced by other factors like the news, economic conditions, our own actions, etc...

Price doesn't change that quick so you don't miss them when you blink. Sleeping can take a long time and within these times, the price may experience a change but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't be sleeping anymore. That's wrong. Health is still wealth and besides, the are there tools out there which we can use to auto sell or buy, when we are not monitoring the market.
1094  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: SportsBetting portal launch Without money? on: January 11, 2023, 09:14:09 PM
any suggestion?
The advice is, find funds until you can have sufficient capital and start launching your sports betting site, because it seems impossible for you to run a business without capital and expect to be profitable immediately so there is no other way but to get money as a bankroll first, and even if you already have a large enough capital does not mean you will profit because the possibility for your bankroll to be empty is very likely.
Having a gambling site is not a business that provides certainty of profit. You can see that many gambling sites have ended their business or ended up not paying their players because the business was no longer profitable for them, so they no longer had the funds to pay their players.
There must be another reason on why some gambling sites can be unsuccessful. What if they lack something in terms of planning? This is why they spend boat loads of money in promotions. They think this can make them successful but they did not know that there are also other things that should be given an importance.

Gambling is a profitable business if only done right because the games have a house edge and this was unlikely to be beaten by any gambler no matter what strategies they are preparing. I saw lots of threads here about it and all of them ended up the same. They are still a loser at the end and the gambling site remain to be victorious.
1095  Economy / Speculation / Re: Starting to Think The Bottom May Be Close? on: January 11, 2023, 07:00:12 PM
What is your main reason for asking this? have not mentioned if willing to invest or just curious to what will be the future prices?
On his last sentence he is asking if he will accumulate. The OP came from Twitter and it looks like he have some good backgrounds at analysing the price because he already laid out some samples there. He came here asking for a second opinion other than relaxing for a while in twitter. I agree on the sample analysis that he laid there.

$16k is indeed solid which is why I don't think we fall beyond that point but I don't also think that we will fall below $17k. So the OP should hurry up now and accumulate more coins before we saw more price increases. There will be pauses and then there will be small decline, which we can use again for accumulation.
1096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 10, 2023, 08:36:31 PM
In a match that concerns the bottom of the league, Verona hosted Cremonese. Cremonese are winless in the league and continued their winless run with this game. Both teams are in the relegation zone and every point is valuable for them. Both teams performed equally and Verona won the game and moved one point ahead.
In the Bologna-Atalanta game, bologna lost the match despite leading at half time. Atalanta showed their difference in the second half and took the 3 points.
As expected Atlanta trying to achieve better results, but things are surely going into their favour which is good signal for them because in first match against Spezia they were trailing by two goals and then have good chance in last few minutes which give them good opportunities, and they avail with this all match end in a draw and now in second match against Bologna they have done again good job with after conceding early goal they have done back to back two goals and then have good defense for the last half hour which give them good win for having sixth spot which is good if they are able to maintain this form.

Relegation zone is still open for the few teams, but now form is also important with Cremonese is surely going to down, and other few teams have chance to survive, but it's never been easy because it's need's consistency in form and improvement in quality as well.
1097  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 10, 2023, 05:28:23 PM
Dortmund will need to focus on the Bundesliga more of course. But while they are doing this they need to be able to concentrate on the other tournaments as well. The Champions League comes first in this list and DFB Pokal is also there. They have five Bundesliga and one DFB Pokal matches before the Champions League restarts. They need to be targeting the maximum points and best results they can in these ones. Of course there are going to be really challenging matches against teams Leverkusen and Freiburg as well. But they will need to be extra careful in those ones.

Leaving all of these matches with decent results would be big morale for them before their Chelsea matchup. They will need motivation a lot there because Chelsea are already favoured by bookmakers.
In first half of the season, Borussia Dortmund was just average team with having not good performance in Bundesliga but still done good for having spot into Champions League knock out stage, but now things are looking more complicated for them in second half of the season because they are having sixth spot which is surely not good signal for them with all top teams are doing good job and have enough quality to stay at their levels for the rest of this season hopefully they will focus on all events, but their main target is again having spot into top four for the Bundesliga league table which is not easy because they are already suffering due to injury of their main signing of the season Haller and in absence of him now doing good job and having good spot is surely challenging for the Borussia Dortmund.
1098  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 10, 2023, 12:59:10 PM
I thought about staking all on Arsenal against Spurs but one thing crossed my mind. It’s not just a fixture but a North London derby. Despite their poor form, I am not fully convinced that Arsenal will get an easy game against them. Tottenham will come up strong and very good in the NLD and normally Arsenal doesn’t really get away with a win anytime they face Tottenham at their home. I am suspecting a draw. So I’ll double chance Tottenham.
After the break Tottenham has improved performance, but things still not good because as they lost against Aston Villa here we can expect Arsenal can also steal this game but surely derby is never been easy for any team because sentiments are tough for both teams and have pressure for improvement in their performance but if here Arsenal won then surely this could be vital for them and if we have draw or Tottenham win then surely this could be more entertaining because this could be beneficial for other teams as well and gape could be reduced and pressure will be on Arsenal for having better performance for staying at the top in second half of the season because now Manchester City, Newcastle United and Manchester United all are giving their best for the challenging end of this season.
1099  Economy / Economics / Re: Avoid running into financial ruin this Christmas! on: January 09, 2023, 09:33:26 PM
I also wish to remind everyone that we should spend money wisely and be very prudent. We should remember that by January of the next year, there would be a lot of bills that would need to be paid. So remember that while shopping for those items that may seem to be relevant and cool to get now but would be definitely irrelevant later on.
By January, a lot of people would probably be heading to the bank after going all out with their funds during Christmas to take loans to settle whatever bills would arise and there would be a lot that would arise!
I think money is always tight for most people in January cause they spent a whole lot of money during the Christmas period.
The biggest mistake people make is taking out a bank loan to pay off other bills, this is the same as "Dig a hole close a hole". Standards that are too forced to meet lifestyles are wrong patterns, the biggest impact they will receive financially will never be balanced to make ends meet. The world is facing recession and inflation, the economic cycle is also experiencing obstacles to recovery.

While human life patterns are increasingly directionless, unequal financial capabilities are forced to keep abreast of the times, but do not adapt to the prevailing circumstances, this destruction is getting closer to failure in managing finances at the individual level.
I would say there are times in a persons life when you should ignore the financial consequences of your actions. I understand that as our nature in bitcointalk, people here like money more than living the life, or at least think that they should become very rich first and then start living life.

But, I am not one of those people, I rather have a happy life with low financial stability than a life where I postpone everything and not live it properly with hopes that I may get rich one day. This Christmas and new years has been quite expensive for me, and I mean a lot, so it's really just a normal thing that I am facing the troubles with it, but had a good week.

Hope you had a successful trade, because Bitcoin is 17,277k at the moment but what I will like to ask is, what is the level difference between the present price and the price of bitcoin when this thread was created?

I believe the bitcoin dollar cost average shouldn't be a template for Bitcoin exchange and since bitcoin is an asset I wouldn't, cost it pruce with a dollar even if that is the exchange currency, so in essence, what I mean is we should give a long term view to Bitcoin rather than rushing to sell whenever the price sprung up a little.
If I haven't read this I won't noticed that BTC just jump a lot. That's nice and I hope this would continue now. This is something that makes us all happy and to feel positive once again as we see that our portfolio is recovering or increasing again and then there is this thought of earning a big profit later on.

Anyways maybe the guy is a short term goer and he already bought at the dip or during BTC is at $16k level and he is confident of selling it after some recoveries and maybe he even did it right before you right your response on this thread. Now he is waiting again in case price dips again but he has some coins left to sell for further pumps.
