You got your neutral trust because of 2 reasons:


Thanks for your kind gesture to remove neutral feedback from my trust page. I appreciate it.

I was unaware that, posting pyramid quotes was considered spam. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I have ceased posting them.

Additionally, I also decided to avoid  making posts on Politics & Society, as debates on these topics  often lead to personnel conflicts, which are not conducive to maintaining harmonious community.

As far as quality is concerned, "it is a race which has no finish line", we all learn from mistakes and continually strive to improve all aspects of our life and hardly get there where we want to reach. It is a never ending struggle.

Thank you again for your help.

It is a good question.

But the answer is no.

Thanks for your in-depth explanation of different scenarios and their potential impact on interest rates in the USA.
It is worth noting  that Insurance companies in the USA  make their profit by investing in Bond markets which is generally considered a secure investment. I think they will also have opportunity to generate profits by investing in stock market, in case it starts performing as a result of lower interest rates.

Although it is hard to predict anything about the monetary policy with certainty,  but  given the current  declining trend of inflation, there is a possibility that FED may choose to freeze interest rates at current level. This could have  very positive impact on all financial markets including Bitcoin & other crypto currencies, as it may increase investment inflows and contribute to overall economic growth.

This conflict  has not only caused devastating  impact on economies of Russia & Ukraine, but also its spillover impact disturbed the global economy at large & created significant challenges and disruptions. The ongoing conflict has  reduced trade & investment flows & led to decrease in economic growth. Additionally, the economic uncertainty, increasing risk of security & disruption in supply chain has far reaching impact on global economy, which will continue suffering until this war comes to an end. International organizations like United Nations, NATO & European Union should intervene to bring both parties to the a negotiating table to reach a peaceful  settlement to end this conflict.
1586  Economy / Economics / Re: Can I take a loan to invest in bitcoin? on: February 05, 2023, 09:40:02 AM
"Can I take a loan to invest in bitcoin" this question was asked by a friend

My reply to her is this:
It is generally not advisable to take out a loan to purchase Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and the value of a particular coin can fluctuate greatly in a short period of time. This means that the value of the coin you purchase with a loan could drop, making it difficult to repay the loan. It is important to do your own research and make sure you understand the risks before investing in any financial product, including Bitcoin.

What is your advice?

I think taking loan for investing in Bitcoin for the long term can be risky proposition , but it is not necessarily a bad idea if you have steady income to repay the loan. The key factor to success is to believe in Bitcoin and not get get overly affected by day of day fluctuations in Bitcoin price. By maintaining your emotional control you increase your chances of coming ahead in the long run.
1587  Economy / Speculation / Re: I think Bottom is gone on: February 05, 2023, 07:01:37 AM
Hello,

My View about bitcoin was on january 1st that this is not bottom and bitcoin with fall further ,
but watching this rally today and yesterday i think bottom is gone , the marketcap of crypto is up by 150billion,
850 bilion to 1 trillion

and daily chart is looking bullish according to technicals with high volume

https://ibb.co/HhJdtvJ

tell me if i am wrong or right experts

I think it is too early to conclude that bear market for Bitcoin is over and that it has entered in Bullish phase. The interest rate increase of only 25 basis points was a good stimulant for the market but it failed to push the price above 25K,although  it briefly pushed the price above 24K but quickly retreated. It is stable above 23K which is a good sign.Technically , although it is trading above DMA20 but it should break 25k and show sustained growth  on weekly chart, to confirm bullish trend.

Ye Dikho Mai ne 40$ ka small trade Liye Ustc jo k pump hone k mood Mai tha aur mje LG Raha tha ye AJ jaege. Meri buying btrade 0.034 tha magar jab Thora oper gia tho ma ne stop loss lagaya aur so gia, jab jaaga tho bahot Khush Huwa price dikh kar magr Mera already sell ho Chuka tha

Ap ko phelay trading seekh leni chayee. Stoploss usually loss ko bechany ky liey hota hay na k take profit lenay k liey.
Dorrsi baat yeh k sab coins nay abhi uper hi jana hay kion k bitcoin bullish hay abhi, aur app ki buying tu spot mein thi, tu itna daar kion tha juldi trade close kernay ka ?

Abhi bhi Jo log haa crypto maa woh sabb chupky chupky karr rahy haa lakin issky bawajood hum 6th postion pa haa it's good, I think abhi only 5% people crypto sy wakif haa aur Sahi maano ma crypto trading karr rahy haa.
agr yeh crypto Pakistan ma legalized hojaya toh ik toh faida yeh hoga ky Jo bhi trading ma profit kary ga woh pkr ma change kary gaa toh country ma dollar ayaa ga Jo ky foreign reserve barhai ga as a result economy bahtr hote jaya ge but unfortunately hamary leaders ko yeh Samaj nahi araha

Crypto adoption ka aur bohat c faida hien aur sab c bara faida k app IMF aur USA ka gulam ni rehtay kion k app ki ecomony dollar p depend ni rethi. but jo app nay example di hay, its a two way story. Kion k bohat saray log crypto trading mein bohat paisa lose kertay hien, tu asa bhi ho sakta hay k hum dollar mulk mein lanay ki bajayee trading mein liquidate ho k ulta dollar lose ker dein.


Brothers, crypto adoption in Pakistan is not so simple & straight forward as commonly thought, it is a complex issue which involves many dimensions, such as public awareness, infrastructure & political will of government. Adoption of extreme volatile currency like Bitcoin can result in an economy that operates like casino. The adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender in El-Salvador led to substantial  losses for their economy due to significant drop in Bitcoin price.

We should consider adoption, once Bitcoin market capitalization reaches to a stable level of 5 trillion which will indicate a wider base and potentially more stability.
1590  Economy / Economics / Re: Keeping money and keeping bitcoins? are they similar? on: February 04, 2023, 03:35:11 PM
The massive awareness to keep bitcoins for as long as possible promotes people to develop the attitude of saving, just like saving money. Do you agree with this that people who are very good at saving money become very good at keeping bitcoins when they finally start doing cryptocurrency? Or do you feel that there is no similarity between keeping bitcoins and keeping money?

They are similar in the sense that both require certain level of financial discipline and long term planning. However, they are also different as saving money in traditional banks is easier because of its  familiarity and stability of the financial system, whereas Bitcoin is highly volatile, decentralized but has seen unparalleled returns over the past decade, surpassing other assets.
1591  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How I decided to buy some fractions of BTC after discussion with members here on: February 04, 2023, 11:54:29 AM
I agree with your overall point Ultegra134; however, I would clarify that you can be persistent and even assertive with your ongoing investment into bitcoin, but there is no imperative to have to be overly aggressive or to have to try to compete with anyone else in terms of trying to make up for lost time.. in regards to NOT investing earlier.

In other words, I think that it is better to consider the whole ONGOING BTC accumulation matter as a kind of way to be as sufficiently aggressive as reasonable, and to make sure that we do not overdo it within our budgets.. so if we can reasonably accommodate $100 per week, then great, but if our budget does not really allow that much, then we have to figure out what is allowable without overly stressing our own budget in terms of cashflow coming in, expenses and our psychology in regards to NOT having too many extra pressures.

If we keep buying on a regular basis, it is likely that we are going to see progress with the passage of time, but how much progress will likely vary depending on how aggressive that we are able to be without overdoing it..... We should not end up overdoing it, and then find ourselves with few or no coins because we failed/refused to adequately have our budget (and psychology) in a good place to be able to weather the likely inevitable good times and the bad times.. that can sometimes happen in extreme ways both in terms of time and intensities.
That's true; people are afraid of missing out and are panicking and buying Bitcoin in an attempt to make up for lost time. As someone who entered the Bitcoin scene early but has only had a tiny amount since then, I can relate. However, you need to be cautious and set limits on how much you can afford to invest every week, month, etc. There's absolutely no reason to rush and attempt to compete with others; whether we like it or not, some users had a head start.

Exchanges, such as Binance or Bitstamp, are generally safe, and chances are that you'll have no issues with their services; they are also newbie friendly.

I think crypto exchanges play very crucial role in promoting growth and adoption of Bitcoin by providing a platform for buying selling and trading Bitcoin and other crypto currencies. They constantly upgrade their trading platforms to make transactions easier. They also play important role by attracting new user though educational  material and technical analysis which leads to increased liquidity as more people join the crypto echo system. Hence, buying Bitcoin in fractions on dips from any reputable exchange, and accumulating it, is not a bad idea, but once you have significant holding , it is better to transfer Bitcoin to your personnel wallet.
1592  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which countries do you think this year will adopt Bitcoin as a Legal tender? on: February 04, 2023, 08:18:35 AM
I would have said Tonga, but the natural disaster that occurred recently might have slowed down that process.

It's probably going to be a small country that uses a lot remittances. They would be tempted to stop paying those huge fees to American money transfer companies.

Probably the last one to join would be the US.

Though it is difficult to predict which country will adopt Bitcoin next, as it depends on various factors,  such as government political will , regulations,  public awareness and infrastructure. However, both Tonga and United Arab Emirates have shown some positive signs towards adoption of crypto currencies, and it will be interesting to see how the citizens and governments respond towards this emerging technology in future.
1593  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Big money bad for bitcoin in the long run on: February 04, 2023, 02:51:42 AM
As bitcoin continues on its current bullish path, all kinds of people are trying to ride this wave by buying any cheap coins they can get their hands on as they anticipate the next High to come. But the scary part about this is that Big money is also flowing into the crypto economy that will push price to easily register new highs, but this comes at a price, when these whales decide to take out their money.. markets bleed red which is why Big money is not good if volatility is to be controlled. In the long run Bitcoin is better off without the Big money, otherwise this becomes like a pyramid scheme always leaving the last man standing with empty pockets as the first guy to make a move gets all the accumulated $$$$.

What's the community's take on this?

The crypto market, with a capitalization of around 2 Trillion, which is far below, when we compare it to Gold and stock markets, is considered to have room for further growth and investment by many analysts.The general view of community is that entry of more  money into crypto market will bring more stability & legitimacy to crypto market, which will drive more growth and adoption. This could also lead to reduction in manipulation, as the base of holders will become wider.

Congratulations on your first Bitcoin acquisition! You actually reminded me of my first one too, somewhere between 2013 and 2014. Bitcoin was worth approximately $300-$400 back then, and I had acquired a decent sum of BTC for the money I had paid—it was actually more than I've ever acquired. I'd advise you to create an affordable monthly budget and purchase as much as possible since it's likely to be worth a lot more after the halving, approximately a little more than a year from now. Bitcoin has been an incredible journey so far, and I'm delighted to have been a part of it for the last few years. Don't make the same mistake I did; be persistent and don't give up if you see things going the wrong way.

I agree with your overall point Ultegra134; however, I would clarify that you can be persistent and even assertive with your ongoing investment into bitcoin, but there is no imperative to have to be overly aggressive or to have to try to compete with anyone else in terms of trying to make up for lost time.. in regards to NOT investing earlier.

Most of the people who posted about this here are Nigerian, and I am not shocked that they are one of the countries using bitcoin. You bought roughly $50 worth of bitcoin, and that's huge. It is really memorable to you, and also what most people suggest is that if you accumulate more bitcoin over time, you should transfer it to a cold wallet to make it safe because, in exchange, you don't own it as you don't have the private key on it. But congratulations on your first purchase, and this is your first step toward owning bitcoin.

I am NOT against the idea of starting out by holding BTC on exchanges or with third parties; however, as we likely own more and more bitcoin with the passage of time, it is likely that we are also going to need to learn more with the passage of time too.

So we should realize that we don't own shit if our bitcoins are on exchanges, but we do own some kind of voucher or a claim to bitcoin and even exposure to BTC price changes, so sometimes it can take a bit of time for the reality of the difference to sink in, and the more we own, the more likely we have to attempt to protect ourselves by investing into studying free or low cost solutions, versus perhaps graduating up to more expensive solutions (such as a hardware wallet), and no matter how are BTC are held, there are going to be tradeoffs in terms of what the risks might be in terms of managing our passwords to accounts or making sure that we have back ups if we start to graduate to self-custody solutions.. that might even be free... but there is no complete freedom in terms of making sure that we spend some time to learn, and the whole matter of holding our coins ourselves becomes easier once we practice more options.. but we also don't want to overdo the complexity of our back-ups or our passwords in such a way that we end up losing access to our coins because we overly complicated our set up or our security.

Well said. There is no problem in holding Bitcoin on any reputable exchange, as it gives you exposure to day-to-day price changes, but you don't fully own the Bitcoin. As you accumulate more Bitcoin it becomes increasingly important to consider self-custody options for greater control and protection of your precious asset. This may require investing in hardware wallet, but it is the most secure method to store Bitcoin.
1596  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: I am selling Antminer S 19 XP 134TH. What is more profitable ? on: February 02, 2023, 05:32:44 PM
It's over then, no cheap electricity means no more reason to keep mining, by the way that's a good Asic miner you have there, people are still buying it unlike the old Antminer S9 that is no more profitable to run, if I am in your shoe right now I will sell the Asic miner and start buying Bitcoin very slowly, the price has gone up right now but a pull back is always possible.

Agreed, profitability of Miner mainly depends on electricity cost , which is higher in many countries due to higher oil price, as many countries generate electricity from fossil oil, in such situation it makes sense to sell your ASIC miner, if it is  no longer profitable. As far as buying Bitcoin is concerned, it is important to consider market conditions & accumulate Bitcoin by using( DCA (Dollar cost-average) strategy. This can help to mitigate the risk of buying at a high price & minimize the impact of market dips.

Umm.. seeing that he just posted below your post I believe he was not banned, or not yet. Let's see how things will develop though... If he's lucky enough he'll end up just with having one post deleted, which is not hard to live with. However, even if it will be so, I think he learned his lesson.





I apologize for my unintentional mistake which was not made with the intention of gaining any advantage. It was simply due to my laziness and I would be grateful if you could forgive me.

Just curious though: why did you make the post? Since you had clearly absolutely no reason to vote (otherwise you would certainly spend some time to think about who to nominate) why did you make that post?

Excepting the above question, have you ever considered of implications of such behavior in case dozens of users would do it? Imagine someone would nominate multiple users which would not deserve to be nominated and after that a dozen copy-paste his vote. This could lead to (1) having an incorrect winner (or more) and / or (2) to have the one counting votes spending a lot of precious time in vain, just to analyze copy-pasted votes in order to not count them.

Seriously, why act like this? For what purpose?

Honestly speaking, the reason I made the post was to express gratitude towards Shahzad Afzal's significant contribution to our local community on the Bitcointalk forum, where he provides valuable information about Bitcoin and technology. I also wanted to acknowledge his efforts in attracting new members. This is why I followed his voting decision and included him in the Craft Master category.

Hello guys, I'm currently selling my Antminer S 19 XP 134TH Roll Eyes (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5436728.msg61652829#msg61652829). I have lost access to cheap electricity  Undecided and I think that I will invest money from the sale to buy BTC BitcoinsBTC. What miner can I buy more profitable for this money? ($4000) ? Or is it better to invest them in bitcoin?

I suggest you to invest in bitcoin for taking much high returns without any trouble of electricity and other miner maintenance ,
Because in this bear season we have a discounted market prices upto 80% off , So fill you wallet with BTC and 20% alts and just relax for one or two years for multiply your money by 4x or higher .

It is a good idea to invest in Bitcoin and hold it for long term, as it has yielded high returns, as evidenced by its historical performance. However, for those who are interested to generate passive income through mining Bitcoin, it may be a viable option only if certain conditions are met such as living in a region with low electricity costs or having a personal solar system to power the mining setup. Additionally, it's important to consider that mining requires a significant upfront investment in equipment and requires a consistently cool environment to operate efficiently, which may not be feasible in some locations.
