What you think is correct, even if you have no arguments to back it up other than that you simply think so. You have the reason in the first reply:


To think otherwise is a fallacy well known as the gambler's fallacy. But no matter how many times it is explained, there are hundreds of millions of people who think otherwise.

I recommend DYOR not only for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, but for personal finance, and life in general. Knowledge is power, and the more things you know the better.


It is paradoxical that you write the post you have written and end up with that question, because based on research you should be able to answer it, but I advise you one thing: even when you have a reliable source of information, always be skeptical, because from time to time you can also sneak false information (on purpose or by neglect).

If we take into account that the flags reference a post from April 19, and we read the neutral tag he left on May 6, I give even less weight to the flags.

That's simply because it's in an area with little supply, and building a little doesn't expand the supply enough to bring prices down significantly.

I think the Airbnb phenomenon has been seen all over the world, and digital nomads is a growing phenomenon as well. If you are looking to rent in a city where prices have gone up because of it, you have several solutions, go further away from the center, and even to towns several kilometers away from the city, or rent something smaller or look for a way to increase income and be able to pay more.

What happens is that you see that your parents were able to pay for a house in a few years in an area of your city that is now considered downtown and where you can't even pay the rent. Well, you have to adapt to the new reality and act accordingly.

Why am I not surprised by this? I could smell trouble the moment I read his thread.

The following quote was prophetic:


The thing about his emotions he demonstrates in almost every post, lol, and he continues with the idea:


Sign me up again for next year too, you seem to have forgotten about me.


 

I see the bottle as half full. The next president of the USA will surely not be a bitcoiner, but the fact that certain candidates are bitcoiners gives very good publicity to the subject. I would like to see that in other parts of the world, that in the next presidential election there would be at least one pro bitcoin candidate.

Lol. Since you could play poker at Betnomi, I was thinking of something like being good at cards, not this kind of fraud.

I imagine they took advantage of the "no one everyone is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt," which I've been talking about lately on the forum.

Can you explain what exactly "carding skills" means on this context, please? Because I have carding skills and I don't scam anyone. I must be missing something here.

I have seen some places that accept Bitcoin. Like a burger place I went to the other day, but it was run by a private individual who accepted bitcoin for payments, and in a cab recently as well. But in these threads I always say the same thing:


What are you going to do? Save the fiat and spend the Bitcoin? It doesn't make sense. The only way it would make sense is if you get all or most of your income in Bitcoin, to avoid converting to fiat so you can spend but not even 1% of people are in that situation.

This.

I was just thinking about the same thing.

I invest for the long term and I don't look at indicators. I look at the essential properties of Bitcoin and its history, which makes me think that the price will continue to rise more and more during the following cycles. Therefore, at what price I can buy now is not so important. I do DCA and that's it. But even if I had a lump sum to invest for the long term, holding it for a couple of cycles, I would invest it today at the price it is, because trying to get it right if the price goes up or down a bit is not going to make a significant difference in profitability, and you can always be wrong.

For money, basically, and prestige. The GDP of the USA is $23.32B, while that of Belgium mentioned by Babygun is $0.6B. There is a big difference. Leaving the US and leaving Coinbase as number 1 there doesn't seem like an interesting move from a competitive standpoint either. Other than that I guess they will have a legal team looking at possible future actions, and the SEC has had a setback in court recently that you echoed.

This does not happen only in the forum. I have repeatedly encountered sites that have an internal search engine that searches worse than google. And I guess not all of them are broken. In the end I go directly to google every time. It is worth considering whether it is worth having an internal search engine, although I guess that in this forum it makes much more sense to have one of its own.

I don't see the difference here. Patience is an emotional component, it falls under emotional factors. It's not like the calculations you can do or the charts you can plot. And I think that in his answer dansus021 also speaks only of emotion, because he does not see that patience is something different from it.

Anyway, from the way you talk it seems that you have not had good experiences with trading, so I would tell you to consider a longer term investment in which emotions do not play such an important role.

It sounds to me like a variant of the Martingale, but more sophisticated.


Precisely the reasons why it is impossible to win in Martingale.

Trying such a strategy temporarily because you want to complete some wagering requirements to level up, reach the VIP level in the room or something, I could understand it, but at the end of the day you are playing an EV-game. You will not be able to beat the HE, no matter what strategy you use.

Well, the smiles I remember are from when we were in bull market and Bitcoin kept beating ATH after ATH. That was a couple of years ago, and I remember that all the predictions gave a price peak for the cycle much higher than it ended up being. But they were sweet times while they lasted. People who leave work to focus on Bitcoin are because they somehow set up a business related to it, or switch to a Bitcoin-related job. For those of us who invest a small part of our income, it's not enough.

You left out a very important one: high energy prices, which affect everything. If gasoline and electricity prices go up, you not only pay more to fill up the tank and for the electricity in your house, you will also pay more for groceries, for example.

In fact, the inflation we have been experiencing for a couple of years now is mainly due to energy prices and massive post-covid printing. Then it was exacerbated by the Ukrainian war, but it started earlier.

It seems to be unclear, but in the thread on the subject they say this:


The point is to avoid closed source wallets like the plague.


Yes, but while you're at it, you'd better choose an open source one.

I don't quite understand the addition of Timelord2067 to DT1. There are about 7 DT1s that trust him and about 17 that distrust him. Didn't he drop out of DT2 because of that?

Interesting table. As I see it, the cycle-wise years that would correspond to this 2023 are negative return in August. So it happened in 2019, 2015 and 2011. Although history need not repeat itself, this makes me more pessimistic than I would have been at first, before seeing the table. And September has not historically been very good in this respect either. Hopefully the statistic will be broken this year.

Yes, well, speaking of curious cases, there have also been some cases of people protesting in the Reputation section for a tag (sometimes even for a neutral tag) that what they have done with it is to draw the attention of the DTs, who ended up discovering more dishonest behaviors such as ban evading, merit abusing, etc. and ended up with many more red tags.


Well, as I said, I believe that in most cases they are alts. The simplest explanation is usually the correct one and in this case it is simpler to think that there is someone who knows the forum and knows that merits are usually given to newbies in the B&H section, who tries to farm up another account with threads like that to get merit. That it is a new person on the forum who makes that kind of thread because he was referred to the forum by a friend seems unlikely to me.
