2601  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What should we do in the sideways market of Bitcoin? on: July 06, 2021, 06:41:05 PM
Most of the market's revenue is completed in a short period of time. Most of the time it is horizontal. The sideways market is actually the best time to stock up. Normally, at the end of a sideways market, you will always feel that the window period is too short. Short positions are very dangerous because they are really easy to miss. Be able to hold Bitcoin firmly, trade on the left, do not bet on trends, and do not choose timing. Hold the currency firmly.
Where you said most of the market’s revenue is completed in short period, I think you should check properly, that’s not how it works. You are even more likely to make bigger profits when you hold for a long time.

Imagine someone that bought their coins in 2015 and continued to hold it till now (2021) do you know how much they have made by now? So long term can possibly get you more than a short term. And of course if you utilize your short term trades rightfully, you can as well make good profit from it. It’s mostly about doing the right things when it is right to do it.

Is investing in cryptocurrency is good idea or COIN ,

<removed external link>
They are all investments and they are all good. It is up to you to choose what is going to work out best for you. COIN is a good asset to own, but I don’t think it is going to generate a good income like you would do when you invest in cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. Coinbase started at a higher value, but since then it has dropped to a lower value than what it was at first.Maybe few years to come it might go up again. As for Bitcoin, we have seen increase from year to year, the value keeps increasing and even when it is not a major bull run, there are still some slight increase that can make you profit.
2603  Economy / Economics / Re: Vietnam Becomes Latest Country to Turn to Crypto on: July 05, 2021, 09:39:33 PM
According to a July 4 report by The Phnom Penh Post, Vietnam's Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has called on the country's central bank to pilot a blockchain-based cryptocurrency over the next two years. Set up.
I am not sure how I shall react because I am happy that governments are shifting their focus towards cryptocurrency and the increased use of blockchain technology but at the same time I am afraid that it only brings more competition to decentralized cryptos like bitcoins and eventually they will want to ban or restrict the use of Bitcoins to promote their own coin, I am afraid it would be another Central Bank Digital Currency as proposed by so many other countries.

Chineh, the 62-year-old leader of the country's main communist party, called digital money "an inevitable trend." Apart from crypto, Vietnam will also focus on implementing such advanced technologies as big data, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality.
That's so true because it is about time people shifted to digitalization and the growth was clear and inevitable. I just hope they don't ban the use of cryptocurrencies because their own coin might not function as they wish and they might end up banning their biggest competitor which we know is Bitcoin.
2604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Recognizing Gambling Disorders, Symptoms of Severe Gambling Addiction on: July 05, 2021, 09:12:51 PM
Of course no one is going to admit, admittance to something that isn't good or moral is going to be difficult because society tells us that we shouldn't do this and that. Advice is useless to this people because what we really need to do is to do the action first and then have them slowly accept it themselves, they will come to terms with their addiction during the therapy.
Gamblers don't have to admit their addiction in front of anyone else. They just need to realize within themselves and that should be usually enough for one to understand that their gambling is no more fun for them and has become addictive and costing them more than it should.

I have been suffering from a light gambling addiction in past and I know that feeling, it's hard to stop and talk about it with others because gambling isn't something I am comfortable talking about with anyone but what took me out of this problem was a day off from gambling and for me, it was forced because we had some internet issues and I finally got time to realize that my problem was starting to get serious. Thankfully I was able to stop and minimize it at the right time, I gamble now but rarely and occasionally when I am tired or have nothing else to do.
2605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 05, 2021, 08:41:34 PM
I really do hope that the finals goes to 7 games, it would make the games so much more entertaining. I have been bored of the same finals over and over again, seeing the same people over and over again as well. This is the first time Giannis is to finals, this is the first time CP3 is in the finals, it is really major fun.

Last time Bucks were on finals it was 812 years ago, and same goes for Suns as well, it is really fun to watch these teams and these specific players. Lakers were always on finals before last year as well aside from that nearly 8 years or so stretch, Miami won 2 titles with Lebron, before that Warriors lost to Toronto which was nice I suppose but it was Warriors again, and before that it was cavs vs warriors for years. We are finally seeing something brand new and I want to really watch every single possible game so if they can make it 7 game series that would be awesome.
2606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA EURO 2020 Discussion Thread | Current Phase: Finals in June 2021! on: July 05, 2021, 08:14:12 PM
Ok for some pure speculation on the final results of this Euro 2020, below my thoughts on Italy Spain:
- two completely different teams on completely different stages because while Italy is almost at the top of its shape after a 3yrs of Mancini's work, Spain looks me like a shooting star ready to disappear.
4 yrs ago it was the opposite so I believe Italy should win the match and reach the final.
Spain is not so tough as before. It can seen from the previous matches they have lived during the Euro event. I think they will be easily beaten by Italy. And in the other semifinal, England is predicted to be able to overcome Denmark. So the ideal final will be Italy vs England.
Spain just simply failed to raise another generational talent and thats about it. Even back in the day when La Liga was dominating the world and Real Madrid vs Barcelona games were watched by 100+ million people easily, sometimes even more Spain wasn't even that good, but they had players from those teams that provided a lot to the national team, when you combined Ramos with Pique, and Iniesta with Xavi to other players, it became not so bad even if the biggest talents of the league were playing for other nations (aka messi and ronaldo).

However after those years, they never really got any young stars that could provide something major for the national team, they never got players as good as those names, and that caused them to slowly get worse. Of course they are still one of the best teams, they are in semi finals aren't they? So they are still good, they are just not THAT good.
2607  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Help With contract on: July 05, 2021, 05:46:27 PM
hello a mate of mine has tried to make his own eth network token but is unsure if the person who made it for him has done anything unsafe to the code is there anyone here that understands eth contracts that can take a look at the code for him? he is willing to give abit of eth for the help thanks
So, basically your friend needs someone to audit his code and ensure there are no problems with it. Usually, teams have in-house developers who do this but since it looks like your friend has hired a third-party developer, he can surely hire some agency for the audit of code. I am not sure if I can recommend one but you may find many such options if you google once.

By the way no way I am trying to demoralize your friend and his project but if the owner of the project doesn't have the knowledge of how to read and verify a code or doesn't have a team do it, then I am afraid he will have serious problems later because you cannot hire a new guy every time and it is risky as well and consumes much more time.
2608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling tax proposal in Ukraine on: July 04, 2021, 05:30:50 PM
Many gamblers stop playing because of the high tax rate because not everyone can afford it. Ukrainian president vladimir zelensky plans to legalize gambling in the country for which he has raised taxes I think that by increasing the amount of bonus for playing jaya gamblers will be able to play very easily. Enforcement officials follow violators without much encouragement and often cooperate with them and the state simply proposes a gambling tax in ukraine without losing any tax fees.

Lol. Gambling is already legalized, you're a little bit late with your news  Cheesy
Casino can be opened at any big hotel in special underground area, or in special places. And i know that some hotels already legalized their grey casinos.
Yeah, imagine how cool it must have been to operate a grey/illegal casino and then you get the news that gambling is being legalized. Others will have to set up everything while these illegal ones have things ready lol. I guess most countries will follow on taxation on gambling as governments started realizing the potential revenue they could gain out of making gambling legal rather than being unable to control all gambling activities when gambling is not being run with the support of law.
2609  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Let's say you have a large amount of BTC and you on: July 02, 2021, 07:07:19 PM
you can hold your btc because holding it is equivalent to investing and you cant tracked by everyone because you havent made any transaction but spending and converting your btc to fiat is the hardest part because this two requires a transaction and you can be traced after .
why your scared anyway ? are you doing something illegal .
Holding is one thing but at some point you have to sell your coins, right? I know the price is not optimal for selling but even if after 5 years you want to sell them the question asked by OP is valid because there are not many ways you can sell your bitcoins without being traced at some point. And as far as shopping with bitcoin goes, that's not a realistic and practical approach to cashing your coins.

You asked, why is he afraid, is he doing something illegal? The answer might be that although he is not doing anything illegal, he just wants to remain anonymous similar to how so many people use mixers but not all of them are criminals, a lot of them are just making sure they are able to hide their identity for possible theft and avoid some criminal chasing you.
2610  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🚀 Sportsbet.io- Club House- The best EURO 2021 promotions around!!🚀 on: July 02, 2021, 06:06:35 PM
I agree. Many people are underestimating Ukraine and think that they don't stand a chance against the big-shots, but weirder things have happened as you mentioned. I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up lifting the cup this time around.
Man, this is the most sober thought I've seen lately ... I just fell out of my chair with a laugh, and not because it seems unreal, but because it really is a ridiculous reality. The Ukrainian national team is exactly the team that, instead of training or briefing, is likely to go to church to pray for victory. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about, since the local media cover Ukraine's passage to the quarter finals as if they had conquered Mars.

And the most amazing thing is that Ukraine can really surprise everyone by playing in a draw and winning on penalties.
I wouldn't be shocked if they actually did that lol. However when it comes down to me and my money, I am going to bet on England and it is going to be a very easy bet, why would I risk my bet on "what could be a shock to world" once again? I understand that we had them already in this tournament but we are not going to see underdogs keep on beating the favorites time and time again, that is not going to happen.

I am going to bet on Spain as well which is a closer game than this one, and going to bet on Italy which is even closer. I have no idea about Czech vs Denmark game, that is a bit of a shock. However I do not agree with people who saw some underdogs beat the bigger teams and then started to keep on betting at underdogs, that is how you lose more money in betting, just focus on favorites and you will end up with recovering those losses.
2611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: July 02, 2021, 04:37:09 PM
Real Madrid should reorganize the team. New coaches as well as some new players. Real Madrid's forward was weak. Only one major striker. With Ramos leaving Real Madrid, Real Madrid's defense is now weak. So much weakness, at the same time the new coach. Real Madrid are unlikely to win the title next season. Real Madrid now need an experienced defender and striker.
that's why currently the madrid management want to sell some of their players who didn't really have any contribution to the team last season, and this was done to get some money to be able to bring in new players, but in this case it looks like madrid doesn't have a target player to buy, There are many rumors that say that Madrid are currently eyeing Mbappe and if Real Madrid are targeting Mbappe it has should have been done considering that Mbappe (France) has now been knocked out of the euro.
In my opinion, Barcelona is the strongest candidate to be able to win La Liga next season because it managed to keep Messi and also even managed to bring in a number of star players even though on a free transfer Grin.
Getting rid of the excess amount of players that you think will not help this upcoming season, and using that money to buy new better players is a great method that many teams used during rebuilding periods. Real may not end up being a marvelous team right away this season, but with selling let's say you're starting center back and your bench center back, you could have a great starting one and a youth team level bench one, which is a risk you take in case if your player gets injured but still makes your team better on the starting eleven.

So what I assume will happen is that they are going to try to bag one superstar, which was said to be Mbappe but that is looking more like not going to happen but it could be someone else, then they will sell like maybe 5-6 players and use that to get 2-3 much better players and roll the dice this season, with all the money they will make next season, they will have 2-3 better players next off-season and suddenly with one bad season they can go back to being the best.
2612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 02, 2021, 03:32:20 PM
since today (july 1st) some top players/stars are contractless and could change to another club without paying a transfer fee... L. Messi, G. Donnarumma, S. Ramos, J. Boateng to name but a few Shocked


https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/news/view?id=388464
Honestly this team all by itself could have some good results in many top leagues. I am not saying they would be champions because 2 of the highest paid ones are also the oldest ones, but they do look like they are still a good team with it. Put this starting eleven and remove all the fatigue and injury and booking (because we only have 11 players) and put them in every game to say La Liga for example, I guarantee you they will end up in top 5 without a doubt, and that is with just free transfer players, not to talk about any additions they could make.

It is insane that some of these players are still not renewed contract or at least bought out by some other team already, they should be already contracted. Whole messi thing doesn't even make sense, give him 100 million a year if he wants to, it is not about money, it is about loyalty and respect for what he has done.
2613  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it good to allow Black Money to be whiten by investing in Stock? on: July 02, 2021, 02:56:06 PM
Looks like a sound idea. Obviously, people that run businesses underground will continue to do so, so there's no stopping them, it's basically very similar to legalizing a gambling business. However, it is no secret that for such entrepreneurs withdrawing and using money they make from the black market is a big problem.

Such terms will encourage these people to unravel their true income, because even with 25% still, it will probably be more convenient, less risky, and maybe even cheaper than money laundering. At the same time, black money is most often pretty big money, so this will be a good profit for the government.

Of course, there should be some limits, certain types of businesses shouldn't run under any circumstances, no matter how much money the government can get from it.
The problem is not to get those dark money into legalized way so that the world could use it, its about encouraging it. Sure there is no way that we can ever stop bad people doing bad stuff, ever since the start of humanity there were bad people so we will continue to have it until the day humanity is fully gone as well. However what I do not understand is that why would we do something that would be encouraging them to continue to do what they do.

We should try to make it as hard for them as possible so that the bad people who are bad at being bad would get caught and they would be jailed, the really big bad ones will already grease the hands of some politicians and be fine anyway, so we should not be really making it easy for all the bad people to just launder their money. Which is why I think this is a bad idea, just ban all the dark money going into anything.
2614  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is not just a currency, but represents a new human civilization on: July 01, 2021, 09:14:37 PM
I know that Bitcointalk is where Satoshi Nakamoto started Bitcoin, and it is also a gathering place for Bitcoin believers. So, I also hope to start my new career here. During the time I joined the forum, I saw old users in the forum answer questions to rookies every day, and I was very encouraged. It is precisely because of this unreserved help that the Bitcoin community has grown and expanded its consensus around the world.

In order to learn better, I also want to share my thoughts on Bitcoin in the forum and communicate with everyone.

Bitcoin is not just a coin, but a new civilization of human.

I named it Bit Civilization.
Uuhm… well, I have read your post from the beginning to the end, and first I’d say that you did a good job in taking your time and studying about Bitcoin then taking your time to create a post like this. One thing I would like to point out is where you said that you have been teaching people about Bitcoin and it is difficult to them to understand it.

Well, I have the reasons you have described that might be causing them to not understand, and as for me I have something totally different in mind as to why they are not understanding, and I think the reason why is because you’re going way too technical about it. It would be better if you just break it down to simple terms for them to understand. If in future they decide to go further about it, they can do that by themselves.
2615  Economy / Economics / Re: George Soros and Bezos have paid almost zero taxes on: July 01, 2021, 08:40:23 PM
The thing we are all talking about here is not even if they should pay taxes or not at this point, it is if it is normal for them to evade tax or not. I mean there is a group saying everyone would evade taxes when their taxes are in billions, while the other side is saying they wouldn't do that and it is not nice to do that.

However anyone, anyone with a grain of sand size brain would tell you that... of course they "should" pay more taxes, that helps the whole nation and why would you not want something that would help the whole nation? What would be the reason someone could come up and say "I do not want the nation to have 10 billion dollars more money from these rich people"? So the question is, are these tax bills enough? Or should we find another way to charge these companies?

We should probably charge them based on their revenue in order to just force them to calculate tax in there, and for regular people we should just tax based on their total net worth, that way we can charge less, but constantly charge it anyway.
2616  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Fear : The Debacle of a Trader on: July 01, 2021, 06:56:30 PM
Fear is something been always a part since we are just humans and we do value that much when it comes to our money which its normal that we would really be mindful on our actions.
Even it is a basic characteristics of every human, when it is not helpful in decision making then we should not consider light as it may lead to complete collapse of our trading plans in the end. Hence, even fear factor is something we do come across everyday, its consequences are really terrible as once a trader emotionally not good then may start failing to take timely decisions due to market pressure.

i'm a trader and most of the time, it's fear of the dump getting even lower that makes me hesitant to make  logically good decision.
You must work on controlling yourself for not to be panic for any reason while trading and for consistently sticking within your pre-determined trading plans. Decision making must be the prime factor on finalizing our outcome of trading hence anything disturbing it, should be addressed with all attention immediately.
2617  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Fact: There is no anything like money laundering but governments want to buy BTC on: July 01, 2021, 05:19:23 PM
Fact: There is no anything like money laundering but governments want to buy BTC

The fact is that that there is no anything like money laundering but governments want to buy BTC, just assume that when you buy bitcoin then you use your credit card or bank account, your money already has transferred at that time to a foreign bank account and you have bitcoin in exchange with that, similarly if you are a miner who mines bitcoin then you sell bitcoin either in your country or either to someone who lives outside, then in exchange he transfers money using a bank account to your account so how it could be possible that money laundering might exist? Governments want to keep the price of Bitcoin down in order to buy more Bitcoin by spending the less amount of so called "Fiat" currency.
I think you misunderstood the meaning of money laundering. Someone who is buying Bitcoin is not doing something illegal, unless Bitcoin is illegal in your country. And a miner who is selling his mined Bitcoin is also not doing anything wrong at all, there is nothing bad about that as long as Bitcoin is legal in your country.

But as for money laundering, it doesn’t have anything to do with these things that you have mentioned here. Money laundering means when you’re trying to conceal an illegally obtained money through international bank transfers and legit businesses. So when they say that Bitcoin can be used for money laundering, they know what they are saying. But that doesn’t mean Bitcoin is the only thing that’s used for that, a lot of means can be used in laundering money, and fiat is on top that list.
2618  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What happen if US ban cryptocurrencies? on: July 01, 2021, 04:47:18 PM
Do you guys think one day USA may ban cryptocurrencies? If yes what would happen? I think it's not totally impossible and that would be a global crash on prices.
This has been discussed many times across this forum and in latest, what I read is, USA have concluded like banning cryptocurrencies or any decentralized thing will not bring any effective results as people will go anonymous and do everything peer to peer way hence banning will result in losses in taxation rather than bringing up any positive impact in the end.

So, there would be very less possibilities for USA government to take negative stand against cryptocurrencies. Even they may delay in recognizing cryptos for being one of legal tender but never become against cryptos for sure as they are aware of final consequences.
2619  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible to make good profits through ICOs? on: July 01, 2021, 12:49:53 PM
I noticed that their ICO price was way lower even than the very first opening price, so I was wondering if it could be a good idea to regularly take part in these events, and, if an ICO allows me to freely manage the money I placed in it (for instance, immediately taking back my money if my profit target has been reached).
Honestly this is a surprise for me because people are still talking about ICO; I was thinking like people will know more get attracted toward ICO as IEO and other similar crowd-funding mechanism have replaced ICOs some long time back itself. Still I'm sure, if devs plan for ICO on this forum then definitely they may not able to achieve the target level of funds as most bitcointalk users are aware of dangers of investing with new and unknown projects.

ICO prices are cheaper and anything which is available for cheaper price does not guarantee you to make good returns. So, do not look for cheaper prices but always look into reputed projects so that you could get good returns for your investment.
2620  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎲BetFury.io|⚡️Free BTC+BNB|⚡️$3.5mln Staking pool|⚡️BFG listing party on: June 30, 2021, 09:46:44 PM
as of now, the price of BSW is $0.698. i thought it will increase as the market is somewhat greenish in the past few days. but it fell down to this price. don't know what is happening but the liquidity of some pools is also going down. i was planning before to add more in one of my staked pools. but now, im thinking if that is the right choice or just let the bfg stake in the betfury
if BSW will go down below 50 cents, then start thinking of your future in that platform.
That type of decision should not be taken lightly. I mean at the end of the deal we are talking about something that could be very beneficial for you if biswap actually becomes something huge, and would be horrible for you if they turn out to suck big time. BFG is a different thing then BSW, they are two totally different things, just because BFG is listed in BSW doesn't mean that they are somehow affiliated together, they are different companies who just agreed to work together and that is the extend of it as far as we know.

I still like BFG even with the price, because I believe as long as there is money to be made from this in the long term via dividends then there is nothing to worry about the price, if you can wait long enough then you will make it back one day or another. However same can't be said about BSW which could keep going down forever.
There are just waaaay too many of these "swaps" and I do not think that BFG should be tied to it at all. I am not saying do not farm it, of course go ahead and do that if you want to, or don't if you do not want to, that is all just depending on what you want to do. However what you should do if you ask me is to get BFG back as much as you can, try to earn BFG with it, and even though it is not direct, you can buy it with what you earn.

BFG is the token of this website and we are in the topic of this casino and we should all want BFG to go up, and one of the best ways to do that is to buy it, so get your "free" bsw and then use it to buy BFG and that is how you can profit from it. If ALL of us buy BFG then we can increase the price back to over 20 cents as well, it will not be quick but it will definitely happen if we all agree to do that.
