1041  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BTC Price Drop - How are Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Responding? on: December 24, 2022, 07:07:38 AM
Long term holders began to buy bitcoin again but they just started after many months of selling.
Short terms holders are buying more seriously than long term holders but they are not market leaders, market leaders.
They will panic sell again if the $15,000 bottom is broken in future.

Don't bring your wallets around and expose it to everyone around.

Public WiFi is risky in security and you can be affected too.

I know everyone has demand to use bitcoin when they are hanging out, not at home. So you should have only one small wallet to use in public locations. For your main capital, store it at home and have backups for it.

I will do like this, I create a wallet for my main capital, make its backup at home. Then I delete that wallet file on my laptop. I only import it if I need to make transaction. When I finished, I delete that wallet file again.

Electrum cold wallet is an option.

If you want a safer option, choose hardware wallets like Ledger, Trezor.

Ray is right about centralized network of Ethereum when it switched from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake.

Ethereum is not like Bitcoin, never and it has been always more centralized than Bitcoin. We can not consider Ethereum has a similar decentralization like Bitcoin.

The switch from PoW to PoS only makes its centralization becomes more seriously and worse. Ray is right about it, again I agree with him.

However, delisting Ethereum on Paxful will be harmful for their platform but maybe Ray want to be a Bitcoin maximalist and want to build Paxful for Bitcoin only with 300+ payment methods for Bitcoin to giftcards, vouchers, fiat currencies and more.

It won't be the end for Ethereum because it is a biggest altcoin and is listed on many exchanges. Paxful can not change anything about Ethereum.

Now as we are watching Ten Haq is doing good experiment for the increasing performance and having better use of his players is giving him good result hopefully things could be positive after end of this break
A new coach usually brings some positive effects but in long run, after one or two seasons, effects can be nothing. Manchester United experienced it with many coaches from Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho too. I hope they will get a different effect from Ten Hag and get out of their crisis in a last 10 years.

Quote
they could be able to have better results which will help them for having improved rank in league table even things are not easy for any team at the top, but this break is surely going to have big impact on league table, and we will watch few ups and downs for the teams Rashford is also doing amazing job and his contribution could be vital in near future for the success of Manchester United in Premier League.
If their players can bring their world class performances from World Cup 2022 back to Carington and Premier League, United can complete the season in top four. Topfour is a most important target for them in this season. It is a first brick for them to have an effective summer transfer and a successful season in 2023 - 2024.

Quote
Now they are already in quarterfinal of the EFL Cup, and they are going to face Nottingham Forest in coming Premier League game, hopefully team will produce same performance and spirit which will help them for positive results.
LOL since when EFL Cup has become so important for Manchester United?

Is it an indicator that their quality is decreasing too much.

Karim Benzema is an outstanding striker for the los blancos and his presence in the team is not questionable because he's one of the best experience attacker in real Madrid and also laliga. Benzema injury have lasted over a month and this might actually affect his pending contract for real madrid. Florentino Pérez only extends contract with fully fit players and looks like the 35 years old frenchman will no longer be consistent in games at club level, that's the more reason he retired from international game so he could focus mainly on his club career.
When Benzema was young and played for Lyon, he was considered as one of most promising young players. After that he moved to Real Madrid in a same summer with Kaka and Ronaldo but in that summer, Benzema was not a super star player like the other two players. After many years he won his first Ballon d'Or at his 35 years old that is crazy. It looks like players nowadays have longevity for their careers than players in 1980s and 1990s.

You are right. Real Madrid management does not extend contracts to older or unfit players. Benzema has been injured for a long time. If he is not with the squad and does not perform well this season, Pérez will drop Benzema from the squad next season. Pérez will forget Benzema's contribution to Real Madrid. And so Benzema has now retired from his national team, and he wants to focus solely on Madrid's performance. And he is keen to stay in Madrid for a few more seasons.
But Benzema said that he will retire in Real Madrid and with his style, he will not make noise that can affect the club. Even in France and World Cup 2022, Benzema did not say anything and only announced his retirement from France team after World Cup ending. He is very professional with that delayed announcement.

I read that Perez will give Benzema an expansion for his contract one more year. It is safe for Real Madrid to expand the contract each year and can assess Benzema performance for them. They can easily end the contract if Benzema can not play for them regularly and can assign him a position in coach team.

I have my funds locked up at binance since aroudn 2018 and password retrieval has been grueling process.
The account recovery including for Forgotten password is not too difficulty if not saying it is simple.

If you did not buy that account from another person, you can recover your account password and can succeed with their KYC procedure too.

Facial verification is one of annoying step because they use automated software to do it. If you failed, you should try it again and remember always do it with enough light. The best time to do facial verification is in day time, not at night.

If nothing is suspicious, they will not ask you to do manual verification and software verification is enough.

Other steps for account recovery and verification are easy.

Two France stars were happy with Benzema being sent home from the World Cup – report


Did you forget about France coach Didier Deschamps?

He is another person who was happy to send Benzema back home.

Now I am very confusing that why at begining, they opened the door for Benzema to return to France team. Rumor that they want to use Benzema as a sacrifice for any bad result of their team.

Benzema decided to close his international career with France that is good for him. He does not need to demonstrate anything about his ability. He won 5 Champions League with Real Madrid, some La Liga and months ago won a Ballon d'Or.

France should miss him because if Benzema is a player in a situation of Kolo Muani at very last minutes of second extra half, France should score a fourth goal and win it in 120 minutes.

You can get rid of concerns about centralized exchanges including Binance exchange by withdraw your cryptocurrency from all accounts on centralized exchanges to your non custodial wallets.

When you finish your capital reallocation from exchange accounts to your wallets, you will be able to watch their drama, see fud and have no headache, no worry about your capital.

Only send your coins to your accounts on CEX if you want to sell your coins and after its completion, withdraw your fund instantly when you can.

Because many Africans are unbanked and they can have their own banks with Bitcoin and self custodial wallets. After knowing about Bitcoin, learning about it, it is natural for them to be Bitcoin enthusiasts. Having an own bank is very interesting and safely.

Hal Finney's wife resumes activity on Bitcoin pioneer's Twitter account to avoid potential purge

With this inheritance of account information like this, and with disclosure from Hal Finney that his wife and his children inherited his bitcoin private keys, I believe that Hal family won't lose access to his bitcoins.

His wife makes me surprised to use his Twitter to tweet with aim to keep his account. Her reasons are well as she does not want to lose what belonged to his husband.

It makes me disappointed a little because we will not know what Elon Musk will do with inactive Twitter accounts from legends who had great contributions in the past.
1052  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: On Hal Finney storing his keys in a safe deposit box on: December 16, 2022, 03:13:45 AM
I think it is bad to store private keys even they are encrypted in safety vaults in bank. Banks are centralized and we can not trust their services 100%.

The Russian evasion in Ukraine, this war, show that banks in Switzerland can break their tradition, their terms to freeze accounts and money if they want. It is safer to be our own bank by securing private keys, passwords to encrypt wallet files by ourselves and never store them in central banks.

We are fearful of central banks and choose Bitcoin but later return to central banks to store our bitcoins. Terrible idea.

Maybe Ten Hag is trying to find new players who have a background from the Netherlands who seem to have better playing abilities, but Ten Hag is still trying to keep looking for players who are young but have very good playing skills so that when on the field he will being very aggressive for Manchester United.
Ten Hag will be another version of Louis Van Gaal in Old Trafford. It is reasonable when a coach wants to work with their previous teams (medical staffs, scouts for example) and with favorite players in their previous club.

With Ten Hag, Manchester United will likely have a next few seasons with bright future for their young players from Carrington and their academy. The Dutch coach has good record to give opportunities for young players in Ajax Amsterdam and grow them up. Van de Beek, Frankie de Jong, Mathis de Ligt, Ziyech and a few more players became star players with training and guide from Ten Hag.

A two most possible players from Netherlands can join Manchester United are Memphis Depay and Cody Gakpo. What do you think about these Dutch players? One is old and one is young.

With $3 as your capital, you will have to use very high leverage that is very risky.

Too high leverage like 100x will kill your position anytime with about +/- 0.5% price change. Are you able to control if price changes only 0.5%? I believe you can not manage risk with this too minor price fluctuation.

Better when you have small capital to start, invest in Bitcoin. Work and buy more Bitcoin in 2023 bear market and wait for 2024 bull market. Don't trade spot. Don't trade margin. Don't trade future.

Isn't the funding rate dynamic in perpetual swaps? Like longs pay shorts and shorts pay longs depending on the market conditions and the position one has opened?
Funding rate is dynamic with bullish and bearish days.

I know how funding rate works, but what I didn't understand was what @SquirrelJulietGarden said that the rate would reduce with time if the position was kept for long or did he give some wrong information?
I typed it wrong.

Actually I mean a longer you let your position opens, a more interest you will have to pay for an exchange and therefore even if your position is at profit when you close it, you will have less profit at the end.

I should use interest and profit differently to avoid confusion.

Barcelona is not only targeting the La Liga title, the Europa League Trophy is also its target this season after being eliminated from the Champions League. Barcelona only needs to maintain its position at the top of the standings to become Champion, Xavi is eager to bring his first title as a coach to a club that has made a name for himself. There is no doubt about Xavi's greatness as a player, now he has to prove that he can become a great coach by winning several trophies for the club he coaches.
They have chances to win La Liga and Europa League but I guess they are targeting at La Liga, more than Europa League title. With their current standing (1st position) and good performance, they will not lose a position in top four La Liga. Though they are one of best competitors for La Liga and Europa League, they will have very big challenge to win any of these titles.

In La Liga, Real Madrid will not give La Liga up easily. In Europa League, many big clubs play there including big clubs that failed in Champions League. This make this Europa League season is more competitive than usual.

That is a very important thing for Xavi to achieve this season, because Xavi just needs to apply every skill that the team has in a more consistent manner. Because implementing a focus on two competitions to get two titles this season is not easy, Xavi must be able to make Barcelona fight for it this season so that his name becomes a result of this achievement.
Xavi is under big pressure to win titles for Barcelona but I disagree with this pressure and expectation. Xavi and Barcelona need more time to build up a stronger and more stable squad which is necessary to win titles. It is unfair for Xavi if he will be fired by not winning any title with Barcelona in this season.
1057  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Elon musk listen to bitcoiners not to delete Hal Finney's account on: December 14, 2022, 10:49:11 AM
If Elon deletes the account of Hal Finney, it's not big problem for Bitcoin communities. Discussions between Hal Finney and Satoshi Nakamoto were shared and archived on many websites. Not all Bitcoiners will miss it if that account is deleted. We just over exaggerate it but if it happens (deletion), they will forget it quickly.

In my opinion, Elon is smart enough to avoid deleting legendary accounts. He more aims at farm accounts, spam accounts but not legendary accounts like Hal Finney account.

Yes, Croatia played very strangely, very strangely. I would not say that they played attacking soccer, rather tried not to play total defense, knowing that anyway Argentina will score, which in general is what happened, but I expected that at least one goal Croatia will score, after all a team strong, experienced enough, but the result was 3-0 in favor of Argentina. I think that the second goal, which the Argentines scored somehow very easily, "undermined" Croats and after the second goal, they themselves did not believe that they could beat Argentina.
And when Argentinians scored the third goal, they had already relaxed and probably kept the upcoming final in their minds, played not roughly, did not foul, which is not very similar to them.
Croatia lost because they fell into the trap of Argentina, simply explanation.

Argentina are stronger than Croatia but they sacrificed ball possession for Croatia and waited for combination of Messi with his great vision and accurate key passes and the speed of Julian Alvarez. We witnessed how they succeeded with this approach as three goals for Argentina come from almost a same way.

Lovren and Gvardiol had a worse combination than they used to have but if Argentina did not have Messi and Julian Alvarez, they would have not break down defense of Croatia.

The first penalty opened the match knot for Argentina and it becomes more easily later for Argentina to play. The second goal simply made a win for Argentina looks more clearly.

I have seen before that some coaches take precautions about the players so that they do not end up doing stupid things. Because it is easy for players to get injured. We have seen that some coaches did not allow certain players to travel because they can end up being injured.
Players should be professional in many things
- Training
- Eating habit, nutritious care
- Other things relate to entertainment and personal life like Travelling, Party, ...
The more they do unnecessary activities like travelling, party, the more risk they will have unhealthy body and over weight body as well as facing with higher risk of getting unnecessary injuries. Travelling too much will make body very tired and jet-lag impacts their training and performing in real matches too.

In World Cup 2002, Spanish goalkeeper Canizares got a very strange injury aftershave.

With Perptual trading, when you have a position, the longer you let that position opens, the more interests you will have to pay for that exchange. Usually exchanges will have different shifts of funding rates within every 24 hours. It can be 3 or 4 shifts every day.

So even if your position at the end when you close it at profitable exit price, the longer you let that position opens, the less interest you will get at the end because the more in interest you will have to pay for exchange.

Perpetual trading is not future trading.
