Forex trading is very different from crypto trading, so please don't compare them both.

- Forex trading works on leverage only and you will not do it with 1:1 leverage because you won't get any good returns, while crypto can be bought at spot and if tables turn, the coin can go down 99% too making you lose and may never recover

- Forex works for 5 days only while crypto is available 24/7

- Forex works with real currency pairs and the moves are 'not noteworthy' if seen at transactional values while crypto moves can shake any side's liquidity any moment

Even if I had 2000 btc, I would not go to space to store them and do it at ground levels. This question had been a headache since btc broke $1k as 2 million was also a big number to protect then. I would turn my storage into pieces at first by heading towards mixers because keeping them all at one place would not be 'secured' at all and would also let them traced. I would use Ledger or Trezor if I would store them at one place, or go for cryptosteel to store many wallet seed phrases or private keys and then lock them in a bank's locker. I am not that person who would spend on security more than what I have to safeguard my investments as even a bitcoin core wallet with a very strong password would give me the same security 'till' I do something which leaks my private key or wallet seed.

People in some countries think that it is not good for them to gamble as it may ruin them if they get addicted. They have responsibilities and they talk about the same in front of their 2nd generations to teach them that gambling is not a good thing to do as they fear the addiction may end up for the gambler going bankrupt and make his family suffer with him.

Why are you flaunting Shiba's success in Bitcoin related discussion?
From the beginning, retailers were for profits in btc and any other coins, you see. Their sole motive is to make money, and make it quick. What can Grayscale do to keep retailers stick to btc? It's retailers' money and they can move it in any coin they think of having a spike in its value and shib was one of them. You saw the rise but didn't consider the fall in it? While btc and eth are near their ath and both are stable. Majority of investors still prefer btc over any other coins because btc is a safe haven asset for them to store their value.

I must admit that there are way better jobs available here than going for any other websites (even like freelancer, elance, fiverr) where we need reviews of people to get a job. Average income of a guy posting here for a signature campaign is also very high paying (talking about my campaign and chipmixer) for so many members from countries where they don't earn that much even on a monthly basis, so for them, a way to savings is there to keep collecting and adding more coins to their portfolio via investments. I am glad to be on this forum, and I hope that it keeps giving various jobs to opportunity seekers.

Lasting and longer lasting are two different types.
Bitcoin will not last means it will not be traded or seen in the digital world, long lasting belongs to its price.


Btc grows in value but don't you know that it has a limited finite supply that cannot be altered? Is the banker crazy while thinking that nothing backs btc? Are institutional powers nothing?


This will not happen by any means, because btc and crypto will be here for decades and if that happens for btc, there will be another cryptocurrency which will take over btc but not all of them will burst in their values.

I have researched and found that lots of poor people don't have the intentions to work. So even if riches ask poor people to work to get money for their work, there will be more exploitation than 'helping out' because riches will behave like a boss then. I totally agree with your systemic poverty line, but the mental state of poors have been so much narrowed down that they are unable to come out of that, thinking they have no life and due to less to zero knowledge, they don't know about and cannot learn anything new. If everybody starts thinking the way you think, then there will be no donations at all.

I never margin traded at FTX but did futures trades there.

What I liked -
Quick execution
Low spreads so I don't need to wait longer to get into profits
Less fees in trading

What I didn't like -
Liquidation price is not too far (may be this is for our account's financial standings to keep some funds remaining after early liquidation).

Moreover, I like how they didn't charge me anything when I withdrew all types of cryptocurrencies including btc and even eth (only 1 free withdrawal per day allowed for eth or any erc20 tokens). Meanwhile, you can stake FTT as shown in the table (scroll a bit) to get more free eth and erc20 withdrawals daily.

While there were altcoins that stayed, lots of them went missing with time. Long term investment in altcoin is much better if that coin remains on exchanges and does not get delisted eventually, nor its price should go down so fast that investors panic sell it, else all your hodling period will be wasted. Keeping an altcoin which comes in top 50, and for much better and secured investment, top 10 must be hodl. All of them have a better chance at keeping up the price static and not to get delisted.

I was thinking whether that 2% of Musk's wealth will be evenly distributed among all the needy ones? Or how will they distribute it? Through money or food? And here comes my biggest concern - will those funds be even distributed at all or will be eaten up by middlemen?


It depends on the intentions of the speaker as well as the responsiveness of Musk whether he honestly does what he said, and if he will, what steps will WHO take afterwards?

If movement of btc skyrockets among merchants, businesses and consumers, we will see volatility increasing more instead of getting reduced and balanced because with btc purchases from consumers' end, merchants and businesses will also sell their btc at month end or some time in future to keep balance between fiat-crypto. This will add additional instability to the already volatile bitcoin and may businesses decide to keep btc, it does not keep going up so if it drops, those businesses will also suffer so they will need to maintain the balance.

I have an argument here - if they (businesses) were to accept btc, they would have started to accept gold or platinum or even petrol against their goods or services because these things have a tangibility value.

Reading market sentiments is not only impossible, but risky too.
Though, there are signs which can tell you about the situation in the markets.

Trend is your friend, so follow where the trend is going.
Look for the patterns (google about patterns and you will learn about so many patterns).
Look for higher highs and lower lows because they indicate trend changes.
Doji, shooting star and other various candle types can help understand the next candle's move.

I am a casual social gambler as I hardly gamble these days and I didn't gamble like an addicted person ever before. Gambling is in my nerves but not as an addiction, as a habit with limitations that I follow to keep control on my money I use while gambling. It is true that many gamblers don't commit that they are addicted either due to being unknown of their activities, or due to shame and guilt.

Starting from little helps a lot.
I remember when btc was just $500 and I thought it would not go high any further (listening to those bearish comments). Later, I saw it at $5k and decided to buy small parts so I don't miss out on the future opps. Starting with little is good, but compounding it is even better and can multiply your returns at a point later. Buying with a fixed value vs buying with some extra added value every month makes a big difference if you calculate and the compounding percentage does not need to be 5 or 10%, even 1% can add much. Take it as 'extra leverage' you get without trading futures. 

IMHO drugs must be completely banned to save the current and upcoming generations from extinction, because drugs are making a person kill another just to steal his money and buy drugs. I have also seen children being drugged to make them beg for those bastards who are behind child trafficking, which is heartbreaking and ridiculous. Even if drugs get legalized, the drug mafia will not let things go normal because they want all this to happen so to keep their business booming.

How would btc go 146k without its volatility? There will be no fun if there are no adventurous fluctuations in btc's value. IIRC, JP Morgan was the company that said btc has no intrinsic value and will not be there in near future. Now they changed their statement with times? Btc has made so many big names fall in love with it and change their minds, I am waiting for Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to invest in btc and declare about it publicly.

A trader cannot save himself if he is greedy, he cannot save himself if he is not a trader but gambler.


Because they like to scam these investors who are addicted to getting scammed for whatever money as such investors are greedy and will try to chip in very fast, thinking that they will be millionaires. Meanwhile, some early investors also dump on good projects all for money, which would have done better if they were still up. For 'money is everything' type investors, they don't think of the consequences they may face when they will get dumped over.

The market is in its peak moments where 'what will happen when' cannot be said. Nearly, every other crypto is pumping and break their all time high records, but when greed joins the game, 'bad' investors turn it into a frightening dream by crashing the market. I don't go beyond what is in my hands and take out profits that look reasonable for the trades because drop by drop, we can fill our bags too instead of going for a big one.

Do you know some people who are new to doing new things?
Have you met such persons ever? Then you may realise what excites them to flaunt their holdings of not just crypto, anything they buy or get (to learn) new in their life. Some people have the habits of sharing everything, which is not good for their personal life because they do not like to keep secrets and it turns to be dangerous sometimes for them. Getting a bag full of USD snatched away by thieves is not a mistake of that person as he didn't even tell anyone about it, but the awareness of scammers as they knew that the guy is holding such thing. So sometimes, even if you don't brag about your holdings, scammers try their tactics to find out about you and then they attack you with a plan.

I am very much interested in seeing btc in 6 figure before we talk million. We are expecting a parabolic run for btc based on stock2flow model, but we forgot that the more expensive it gets, the more harder it will be for us to accumulate it. And I noticed that the parabolic runs took place every 4 years since the first ever 'pump' in btc, so I think it will be 8-12 years based on the speed or if we see the stock2flow in works, it will be very early.
