1701  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who else have my kind of mindset for Bitcoin 2023 on: January 29, 2023, 09:49:24 PM
2022 was not the year for Bitcoin, it managed to slow down the fall later but selling from the peak of about $48,000 to the bottom of about $15,500 was tough for the coin. And in 2023, I see a coin that will conclude all its activities within the level as well, and if it would make a breakout at all, it's probably going to be on the downside.
Most people seem very unhappy about the huge drop in the Bitcoin price in 2022. Do we forget that the huge drop give us the advantage to buy at the lowest price? Without the huge drop, we are impossible to expect huge profits in the next bullrun season. So, why to call "2022 isn't the year of Bitcoin"? For me, it is a good year for buying Bitcoin, it is a good year for everyone who is eager to invest in Bitcoin.

But for now, the bias is bullish for as long as it would last. By the way, buying and holding from the beginning of this year is a very good deal, it means that you have bought at a low price, and you can safely hold it as long as you want. Nonetheless, if I were you, almost 2 years (1.9 years will be perfect) of holding would do just fine. Who knows what it would do after halving's bullish run?
The best time to buy was in 2022, not the early of this year.
But if there are people who missed the opportunity to buy in 2022, it is not too late to buy now.  Wink

In my very personal opinion, I would love for Messi not to stay at PSG or Barcelona, but in Arab fútbol.
I have never been interested in Arab football and I don’t know how they are doing, but it’s amazing that they are ready to inject such a huge amount of money into older players. It will be interesting to see the next phase of this expansion when they start buying young talented players. Even if they can't poach the bulk (because ambitious players want to play in Europe) they will still inflate player prices even further from their current insane levels.
We aren't interested because we never watch Arab football matches. And there are no big names/big players in Arab football, all the favorite players played in Europe. But when the top players like Ronaldo or Messi to play there, football fans around the world must be interested to watch Arab football matches. So, it will improve instantly the popularity of Arab football league. Even if they only signed old players, I appreciate that they want to spend huge money on them. It is proven to give significant change in the popularity of Arab football.

Finally people are seeing that the bearish trend is over and we are going to recover. I am not expecting it to beat ATH and be 70k+ but at the very least chance that we should be going higher, and that means we could be doing a lot better, like 40k would be a real dream come true and it could very well happen this year.
Most people judge that the bearish is over, but I think the bearish isn't over yet. We are still far from the ATH, and it is still early of the second year of bearish season. For me, it is clear that the bearish trend continues but we have a better trend now. In early of this year, we have some pumps in crypto coins, and the bad issues that happened in the previous year ended already. So, we can expect the recovery of crypto prices to begin.

Well, I agree that it is not the time to expect Bitcoin to reach $70k+, especially in this year. But I believe that Bitcoin price is starting to near the ATH and it seems to increase constantly. $40k is possible to be achieved at the end of this year as long as no bad news that affects the whole crypto market anymore.  Wink

1704  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: why people are always interested in altcoins on: January 27, 2023, 09:08:58 PM
as we know, many people suggest investing in bitcoin because the risk is not too high.
Investing in crypto coins is a high risk. It includes investing in Bitcoin, too. But it is true that investing in altcoins is riskier than Bitcoin because of some fundamental factors.

~~ to be honest I also like to buy altcoins but there aren't many of them, and it's still my biggest investment in bitcoin. and to be honest even though investing in altcoins is risky but I always want to buy and the reason is because of the high pumping..
Actually, we have the same reasons, it is about the chance to get bigger profits.  Cheesy
Everybody knows that altcoins are more volatile than Bitcoin. That's why it can increase more significantly than Bitcoin when there are pumps. But investing in altcoins is riskier, many altcoins are just hyped coins and have no strong fundamentals. Those weak coins can disappear or can drop their values severely at any time. So, be careful to choose altcoins to invest in!!

1705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: January 27, 2023, 08:52:43 PM
Real Madrid are the favorites in that match, but Real Madrid's dip in form so far has left them trailing Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid managed to force Real Madrid to play up to 120 minutes, but fatigue and one player short made them unable to hold on until the penalty shootout. Real Madrid managed to take advantage of 1 man to score goal, but the red card was completely unexpected.
Even no red card, I believe Real Madrid can win against Atletico Madrid.
The big change in Atletico Madrid performance happened when Morata and Griezmann left the field, they no longer can give a strong attack as previously. I'm not sure what the reason to send them to the bench too early, but it gives a big influence on Atletico performance. In the second half, I see Simeone use more defensive players, it makes Real Madrid easier to get more opportunities to score. And even if they reached a penalty shootout, I assume Real Madrid to win it as well.

Next, I don't expect El Clasico in the semifinals, but I expect Real Madrid and Barcelona to be in the final again. That is the best wish for me, regardless of who wins the title.
Agree. Ideally, the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona should be in the final round. It is very unfortunate if they meet in the semi-final round.

And both teams have named very strong sides for tonight's match up. It is definitely not as important as an EPL clash between the two teams, but it is still a very important fixture. Hopefully Zinchenko would get some minutes in against his former side and we the fans would get an amazing game of football on our hands,
Sure. This match isn't as big as the EPL matches, but Arsenal and Man City still try to give their best in this match. We can see that both Arsenal and Man City release almost their top players in the lineups, I'm a bit surprised that both of them let their main strikers play. They only rest their main goalkeepers and some defenders. Well, it indicates that they are very serious to win this match, they consider the title of FA Cup important, too.

By the way, not only Zinchenko, I also hope Martin Ødegaard, Ben White, or William Saliba to play as well. If Arsenal cannot get enough chances to make goals, Arteta needs to consider releasing other main players to play in the second half. Man City looks very serious to play, Arteta needs to be more careful and doesn't underestimate them.

For at least two weeks, Bitcoin has seen a good climb. It will soon surpass 23k fully. It is still dancing between 22k and 23k as of right now. It remains unstable. You need to purchase right now. Actually, you don't have a choice because if you don't, you will lose. The benefit of bitcoin is that, even if the price falls, you will still be okay as long as you hold on to your coins. Additionally, you will undoubtedly profit in the long run.
Yep. Bitcoin price is around $22k-$23k so far, today it already reached $23,5k. Looks like Bitcoin price is a bit stable now, it is unlikely to drop significantly again. So, I agree that it is a good time to buy some coins if you still want to add more coins to your wallets. However, I prefer to "see and wait", I assume there should be a dump in the near future. If I were you, I will wait for a dump to buy more.

Regarding profits, holding a long run is always good. But makes sure to choose the proper coins. Only choose the coins that have strong fundamentals and have a big community.

Semangatnya bukan pada para senior yang sering mampir ke lokal yang khususnya di bagian altcoin, tetapi semangat itu pada dasarnya harus selalu bisa tumbuh dari diri masing-masing tanpa ada kaitannya dengan yang lain. Karena kalau yang namanya pemalas mau didorong bagaimanapun juga akan tetap jadi pemalas dalam hal apapun.

Sepi atau tidaknya sebuah papan tidak hanya meliputi tentang seberapa banyak topik baru, tetapi juga meliputi seberapa banyak orang yang mau berdiskusi dan berbagi pengetahuan disini dan om sendiri juga bisa berbagi disini di papan lokal meskipun ranknya masih kecil karena hal itu tidak bisa dijadikan alasan untuk tidak berbagi pengetahuan disini. Om bisa membaca banyak hal dan mempelajarinya dengan seksama serta hal tersebut tidak dibatasi untuk rank tertentu disini.

Setuju. SFI ini milik bersama, semua level atau semua rank punya kewajiban untuk meramaikannya. Tidak ada istilahnya harus menunggu senior atau high rank untuk berinisiatif meramaikan forum. Jadi semua member harus semangat dan punya inisiatif untuk membuat forum SFI ramai, entah dengan cara membuat topik atau ikut serta diskusi pada topik yang sudah ada. Dua-duanya sama baiknya, tidak harus dengan membuat topik baru. Ada cukup banyak topik yang sudah tersedia, kita bisa memulai diskusi dengan menambahkan info baru yang berhubungan dengan topik atau reply dari komen yang sudah ada. Selama tidak OOT dan tetap menjaga kualitas post, monggo rank apapun untuk meramaikan diskusi.

Talking about Hakim Ziyech, who was linked with Newcastle, seems to make the hunt for one player even hotter, the latest rumors say that Everton are interested in signing Hakim Ziyech from Chelsea. According to my speculation, this happened because several Everton players who will be sold in the current transfer market such as Anthony Gordon and specifically Amadou Onana were rumored to be going to Chelsea, it is likely that so that Chelsea can more easily get Amadou Onana from Everton they are offering a fee option plus one player Hakim Ziyech as condition. What do you think?
It may be good for Chelsea, it will be easier to get Amadou Onana if they include Ziyech in the transfer agreement. But it is bad for Ziyech to move to a team that is in the relegation zone, which means Ziyech won't play in EPL league in the next season. I guess it will ruin the career of Ziyech if he accept it, he should refuse it if Chelsea plans it. The best option is Chelsea to buy Amadou Onana with fresh money without Ziyech, let Ziyech to move to a proper club. AC Milan is interested to sign him, it is much better than he moves to Everton.

1710  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do online casinos disadvantage some locations from winning big on: January 26, 2023, 09:07:56 PM
Then you have never really sifted through the pages of this forum to see that even huge casinos are trying to make the winners feel like shit in order for the winners to not claim their winnings. Even legitimate, land-based casinos are trying to prevent big wins from happening, just like this one wherein the casino tried to offer a steak dinner to a woman that 'won' $43 million jackpot on a slot machine. The casino and even the New York Gambling Board mentioned that the machine malfunctioned, but it's kind of a joke seeing that the machine only becomes broken when big wins happen.

Casinos will try their best to not give out big wins, and if you have never seen or heard of one, then you must not be involved that much in gambling for you to not know this.

The case you stated above seems not an online casino, it is an offline casino. And the case isn't the limitation of a certain country to win big price, but the casino refused to give the price to the gambler. It is not the same case (topic) that is described by the OP, it is a different case, dude. For the case you stated above, surely I already heard the same cases many times. Roll Eyes

By the way, if there are online casinos that always try to not give the price to the gambler, I believe all gamblers will leave the casinos and will judge "scam" for the casino. The casinos won't survive a long time, a bad reputation will make the casinos to have no users.

I guess what you are trying to explain here above is quite different from what "O.P" meant as stated in the thread, because those are two different concept altogether. The woman who won this $43million took place on a land base casino 4yrs ago, of which the casino claimed that the slot machine had a malfunction, and for that, the winning won't be paid.
While, O.P is asking, Do online casinos disadvantage some locations from winning big? Which the answer is "NO" because no legally registered online casino will disadvantage any region from winning big, but can only restrict certain regions base on reasons best known for them.

You are right. He misunderstood the topic.

1711  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Start of a Bull Season on Bitcoin? Or a Trap? on: January 26, 2023, 08:54:23 PM
I don't think these New Year's positives are a trap, it's the natural driver of the bitcoin trend.  I'm not sure if the winter bear market will actually dissipate, that's just part of the optimism about the market's recovery.  Next time will prove it but clearly the market is not in the bull season yet
I think you are right. It looks like the positive trend in the early 2023 is natural, it is likely not a fake or a trap. In fact, the price of Bitcoin and most altcoins still continue to increase until now, no big dump so far. Even, Bitcoin price can survive above $23k and seems to try achieving $25k as soon as possible. If it is a trap, after the big pump in early January, we already see some dumps now. But until now, crypto trend looks good and no significant bad news. So, the price of crypto coins to stay positive increasing more. However, it is true that the bearish season isn't over yet, it probably ends in the next year.

1712  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I managed to invite 1 of my friends to invest in bitcoin on: January 25, 2023, 09:30:21 PM
According to the story, you didn't invite your friend to invest in Bitcoin but your friend ask you to learn him how to invest in Bitcoin. Your title is a bit misleading, please correct it!

By the way, you are too brave to give a lesson about Bitcoin investment to your friend because you are still a newbie. It is not wrong, but you need more experience and need more knowledge to give a lesson to someone. I am worried that you only know the theory, but get confused when you practice it. Experience is needed, you can share much when you have experienced it.

There is a new rumour about Kylian Mbappe now and it might be the most unrealistic one as well. He is linked with Manchester City this time for this summer. But I don't even think Manchester City have such intention to sign Mbappe. They don't need him now and it wouldn't be good for their sake as well. Because having Mbappe and Haaland in the same team might not have a very good effect on the team. These players are one of the bests in today's football. We never know how strong they can play together.

It is easy to see that Mbappe's next station would be Real Madrid if he leaves PSG.
I'm not surprised by this rumor, there are too many rumors about Mbappe and he is already linked with many top clubs for a long time. But I also believe that Mbappe's next journey is to Real Madrid, it is the most club that he wants to play. As you said above, if he plans to move, he will surely move to Real Madrid.  Wink

Regarding the rumor of Mbappe and Man City, it is very doubtful since Man City already has Haaland. I'm very sure that Mbappe won't be interested to play together with Haaland, especially because they have the same position (CF). Every player must expect to be the main player, it is the same as him. Mbappe must expect to be the number 1 striker in his next club.

1714  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do online casinos disadvantage some locations from winning big on: January 25, 2023, 09:03:30 PM
I don't think an online casino will restrict a player from winning big based on the country where he is playing from,that is why it's online so that the casino can be accessed from any part of the world. If a casino wants to restrict, they will restrict the gamblers from a particular country not the funds to be won. Though the casinos are always making profit because of the house hedge.
Indeed. Legal casinos seem never to restrict any gambler from winning big, it is an unfair way. They only limit the gamblers from a few countries because of certain reasons and limit the age of the gamblers to avoid negative impacts on the young generation. These are common limitations/restrictions, it is the right way to make gamblers play properly. I think everyone accepts these, it is already notified even before the gamblers register on the online casinos.

Anyway, I never heard any casino preventing gamblers from certain countries to win big prizes. I think it is just OP assumption, he doesn't really understand the restriction/limitation on online casinos.

The effect of rising fuel, electricity and food prices is the main trigger that influences the increase in prices of all other goods, the government should find a solution to subsidize the needs of basic goods and fuel prices to reduce the price of goods, but the government's efforts have not been optimal so far and people are increasingly suffering from the effect of the current price increase, they have lost their jobs from mass layoffs, their cost of income is lower than the salary of their previous job.
If you expect the government to subsidize the basic necessities, you will get nothing.
You must understand that the price increases of fuel, electricity, and some foods are caused by the revocation of subsidies.
So, it makes no sense to hope the government to subsidize the basic necessities. They surely won't think about it, they even want to revoke the subsidy on other sectors.  Cry

Yep, people have serious problems with their financial strength. Many people are jobless because of the reduction of company employees, some people get decreasing a lot in their monthly income because of payroll deductions. While the job vacancies are becoming scarcer. These big problems to solve by ourselves.

I have to say Napoli doesn't have any strong contender for race title this season that Inter and Milan who hoping became an their serious contender but in fact these teams cannot managed their consistency and i thought Milan will going to improved their performance and at least will gets 1 points from Lazio but they were defated with unexpected results and i don't know what happend to their defense because during this month Milan have failed to clean sheet even 7 goals in the last two matches was reflected Milan defense was very poor but i am sure Napoli fans will say thank you for Lazio because they can help Napoli to wided their difference points
Inter Milan and AC Milan are decreasing their performance very much. While Juventus got a punishment when they are trying to perform constantly. Roma also didin't play as expected. Considering this situation, Napoli surely has no strong competitor for the title, they played well when other teams played worse. This season is for Napoli, they have strong squad and they have good luck. If no significant change among other top clubs, Napoli is safe to win the title at the end of this season. Well, Lazio really helps Napoli to secure 1st position.

1718  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 24, 2023, 09:59:23 PM
Arsenal is suppose to win the league this season due to the points difference between them and Manchester city,if only they can be consistent with their winnings. Injury of players can also become a barrier for them to achieve this trophy,if any of Arsenal key player gets injured,this might affect the team performance.

Arsenal won't stop to surprise their fans in their matches,they are very good and don't accept defeat easily. Their victory over Manchester united has given the team more confidence to win the league without any doubt,its been awhile since Arsenal has lifted up this cup and I think this season is theirs. Areta has done a good job in building the team. Man city would be the club everyone is looking up to if they can take over Arsenal's position but I guess no.
Arsenal performed very well and they can maintain a good performance, too. If there are no problems with injured players, surely they will win the EPL title. So far, Arsenal players look good, only 2 players have a problem with injured (Gabriel Jesus and Reiss Nelson). I know Gabriel Jesus is a crucial player for Arsenal attacking line. But with great midfielders, they can deal with this problem. Although they only have Nketiah, they can beat big teams like Man United. Now, they have Leandro Trossard, it will add more options for Arsenal attacking line.

Personally, I believe Arsenal to win EPL title this season, they seem ready to keep their good performance until the end of this season. As long as Arteta manages Arsenal, I am pretty sure that no barrier or obstacle to winning the title this season.

1719  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BTC or altcoin on: January 24, 2023, 09:55:00 PM
Btc is the best option and no other coin can be more successful than Btc. But you should also be aware of the things that market does not remain the same always there will be dip and up but never give up and wait for the better outcomes.
BTC is the safest coin to invest in. It is the best option to choose if we consider safety. But if we consider the optimum profits to get, altcoins can gain profits more than Bitcoin. There are many altcoins that have higher volatility, they can increase very significantly. But with high volatility, the risk is also bigger. Altcoins can give bigger profits but can give bigger losses, too. That's why only experienced investors brave to invest in altcoins.

Actually it's same, if they don't need the money for the next 5+ years, it means they can afford to lose since it's not needed the money for short time.
It isn't really the same but it is almost the same.  Wink
Can afford to lose means no problem to lose the money at all. The money isn't crucial to use in a short time or a long time.
Whereas what the OP meant, the money isn't crucial to use in a short time, but it is needed for a long time.

CMIIW

The most simple thing just allocate 5-10% of your monthly salary to buy Bitcoin.
Agree. 5-10% of the monthly salary is safe to use for investment.
However, we must be careful to choose the coins to invest in, especially when we are newbies.
For newbies, I think under 5% is more than enough to use for investment. And only choose BTC for the safest investment.
