Hodling is not for everyone. A Bitcoin hodler should also have something else that should sustain and fund their daily expenses, possibly something that will drive their attention away from how much worth of Bitcoin they own. That way it will be more easy to hold for as long as they wish without fear of depriving themselves anything.

If there is nothing else that generates income for a Bitcoin holder then they have no point holding because they will own end up depriving themselves their basic needs as well as the good part of livelyhood.
223  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can old trading strategies work again? on: April 10, 2023, 12:18:54 PM
Thinking about how trading strategies need to always be changed and how one strategy may not work for a long time, what do you do with the strategy that you are about to change. do you just forget about it completely once a new strategy starts working for you? or do you keep it in remembrance for the future. If you have experienced this before; has any old trading strategy that you decided to apply work for you? Is it possible that old strategies may work in the future again?

The market is constantly changing. For 3 years, I have modified the trading strategy many times to suit the current realities. What worked in 2018 did not work at all in 2021, and so on. And I don’t even want to talk about the change in trend, the change of bulls to bears and vice versa. It's all about the markets themselves. It's no secret that exchanges monitor the actions of traders, and if they notice some patterns that a trader very often successfully uses in his strategies, then they try to fix it. I have noticed this many times. Although, why be surprised, because exchanges are a kind of casino that always plays against its client. Therefore, it is not beneficial for them that someone finds the right ways to extract money. They will stop this in every possible way and reconfigure the bots so that your working methods are the least effective.

Therefore, if you want to remain a successful trader on exchanges, you constantly need to refine and modify your strategy to the current market realities.
I was thinking it is our approach to the market that needs to be modified, because it is the same strategy traders have maintained over the years. The candle sticks are still the same, indicators as well hasn't changed, Sometimes it could be that traders tend to forget how to use the strategy the built in the past and as a result build new ones and discard the former.

  I really consider juventus in this season's Europa league and I'm expecting to see them in the finals  .but lately I'm having cold feet that this could happen cuz Juventus performance In Italy league is not convincing enough to expect something good from them in the Europa league. there was much more energy in their overall performance in their past week's matches than now. Their performance against Lazio wasn't up to expectations. I wish they could do better in their coming matches.

Juventus team lost against Lazio in the last match in Serie A. Their performance has deteriorated significantly. But I believe that Juventus is still very strong as a team. Juventus have a chance to win the Europa League title if they focus entirely on the Europa League matches. Because their squad is quite strong and stable. But it won't be easy at all. Their opponent's Sporting team cannot be called weak in the next match. Juventus must play well if they want to win. And of course, the stickers have to play well. If the attacking performance is weak, they will not be able to break the defence of the Sporting team.
I'm not sure if Juventus have the chance of winning europa league.  The Europa league has Manchester United and sporting who are doing well in majorities of their games. Juventus performance in Italian League is not convincing if they can win the Europa League when their are well performing teams.
Don't be surprise if their loss to Lazio is a tactics to prepare for their meeting against Sporting in the Europa League Quarter Finals. From my own View it seems Juventus is already losing hope of entering the top 4 in the seria A so they are reserving their strength and performance against sporting in the Europa league so they can increase their chances of playing in the finals.

More distraction for Man City apart from UCL they will also playing FA Cup match, Man City oustanding match is against West Ham which I assumed they had won with 3 points in the bag thus reducing their gap to 3 points, however Arsenal needed a draw at Etihad that will boost their chances of winning the title apart from defeating Chelsea and Newcastle which is possible while Man City will play Chelsea after all their busy fixtures from UCL and FA matches, I think for now the likely winner of the league is atill dicey, personally as an Arsenal fan I prefer the gunners to win the title having laboured hard since the beginning of the season.
I agree with u that the winner of the 2022/2023 PL title is still dicey. If Man City plays their outstanding game and wins , they will be 3 points behind Arsenal. And Arsenal having drawn with Liverpool still have high chance of losing to Mancity or Brighton who knows and if that eventually happens, it will mean they have lost all they have struggled for this season. Arsenal are now in a very tight corner because getting a draw at Etihad Stadium seems so unrealistic
226  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: April 08, 2023, 07:45:59 AM
Juventus are going to have a much more difficult matchup in this round this time. Sporting have eliminated the biggest title contender in the tournament which were Arsenal.

This would surely give some momentum to Sporting in the Europa League. However I still don't trust them more than Juventus now. Because Juventus are technically a much bigger team than them. If they don't make the mistakes Arsenal made then they should be able to eliminate Sporting. We just might not see a complete domination by Juventus in the away game especially. But in Turin I will have bigger expectations from Juventus of course.
It will be nice to see Sporting try their best against Juventus. If they make it pass this stage then they might be heading for the finals but i still don't see this coming. Juventus won't be as careless as Arsenal and winning the Europa is their easiest way to get Champions league ticket next season and i am not sure they will be willing to risk it

It will be really bad for Real Madrid if they can't secure a victory in the quarter finals of the Champions League after a good performance. Because if Real Madrid can secure this year's Champions League title, I think this team will be one step ahead of all the teams in the world.
Unfortunately this season won't be like the previous years where Madrid won the La Liga, Champions League and everything in between. There are many teams who have also kept good form this season who are even more qualified than Madrid. Napoli is on fire, Bayern now has Tuchel, Mancity is on heavy fire and Haaland is eager to lift his first ever champions League. Madrid will have to pay dearly if the must reach the final to start with. The competition is too stiff to believe Madrid has advantage not even with the return of Benzema

I don't think Southampton is a good team, with that I don't think they'll make it difficult for Manchester City owing to their poor performance this season. This gives Manchester City an edge in closing the points gap with Arsenal.Actually, I don't think Southampton will avoid relegation this season with their remaining games to play.

If Manchester City manages to close the points gap with Arsenal today, I'd venture to say that Arsenal will exert every effort to defeat Liverpool the following tomorrow, regardless of how strong Liverpool may be to them. This is because Arsenal has no choice but to keep winning the rest of their Premier League games because he five points that separate them from Manchester City are not reliable point.


Arsenal is eight points ahead of Manchester City, not five points. It's true, Man City has one game more to play but who says that they will win it? Besides, the most important game for both teams is on 26th April when they are playing against each other. City has slight advantage in that game because they are playing at home and they have won the last game 3-1. But I think that will be the deciding game for this season champion.
Arsenal is eight points ahead of Arsenal and i see that reducing by three points today because Southampton can't stop Manchester City. Even if Pep decides to reserve his key players ahead of the champions league quarter finals with Bayern. Manchester City will still score more than one goal. Arsenal are not safe yet to think they have won the league City can still replace them if the sleep on their winning streak. Arsenal has entered the most difficult part of the season where they need to maintain their wins till their five point gap becomes more visible

There is also a game between Leverkusen and Frankfurt tomorrow. This should be a quite competitive game first of all. Because there is only a one-point gap between them now.

Besides Leverkusen are actually in a much better shape these days. Because their form has been incredible while Frankfurt's is horrible for many weeks. Leverkusen should be able to use this very positive momentum for their advantage here. Their latest game in the league resulted in a big mess for Leverkusen. But they aren't playing that weak from now on. I'm trusting them about winning this game honestly.
Leverkusen seems to be the favourite today but i don't expect a cheap game between both side considering the fact only one point separate both teams. With regards to the previous games from this two teams Leverkusen seem to have a better record, winning consistently in their last four games even defeating Bayern on one of those occasions. But Frankfurt will want to fight back to avoid been replaced
230  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Change request question regarding limitations for sale and linking wallets on: April 07, 2023, 06:34:54 PM
A good system needs rules and security if people do not stick to the guidelines.
I think we are at that point now.

What do you think about changing the code to do the following:

Blacklist wallets with to much bitcoin or set limitations on those.

Add limits to bitcoin sales with a timeout.
A good system that will induce a corrupt protocol. It means rewriting Bitcoin code and removing proof of work consensus thereby introducing a centralised system where a governing body which we refer to as third party or intermediary start making corrupt decisions and fake records on new or previous blocks all in the name of blacklisting wallets as claimed.


Quote
Link the timeout to wallets that recently interacted with each other.

Have a linked timeout value for wallets that interacted and seem suspicious.

Add a whitelist for registered exchanges.

That would ensure some limits for huge accounts that go short and give more security to the investments especially for smaller size investments I think.

Thoughts?
In as much as the Bitcoin ecosystem frawn at illegal use of Bitcoin it won't make any sense changing protocol just to manage how Bitcoin is been used and who uses the coin and for what purpose the coin should be used for. The aim of Bitcoin is to grant users privacy and control. It should be the duty of Financial crime agencies to monitor transactions through exchanges. And note that Bitcoin wasn't created with the intentions of working with exchanges. It is a peer to peer currency that works outside of exchange. Exchanges are sole entity outside the Bitcoin ecosystem.

2, Keep the long term in mind; Crypto space is not a place where you think you can just come and make easy and fast money, crypto space is not a Ponzi scheme when you will be promised high return in short period of time without any risk. If you are planning to invest in cryptocurrency, you should always have it in mind that you are investing for long period of time, you should be ready to HODL your coin for long period of time if you are expecting a maximum profit. Also i don’t think you can lose your money if you invest in bitcoin and you are ready to hold for long term.
As newbies keep long term  in mind they should also know that not all coin are worth holding for long. A simple start is always safer for investors with little or no idea about how crypto market works. Starting with Bitcoin and hodling for long term profit is best while the watch and study other coin then gradually risk a small fraction of their investment thereby testing other volatile coin but it must always be an amount that is worth risking as pointed out.

5, Pick a Good Crypto Exchange; We are  having lots of exchange’s recently but some of them are scam exchange and some are having low reputation, you don’t have to risk your money trading in  exchange with low reputation no matter the attractive offers they are having, if you are going to be trading make sure you are making use of exchange with reputation to  be at a safer side. You can visit CoinGecko  or to see rank of crypto exchanges and their trading volume.(https://www.coingecko.com/)
No matter how good an exchange is they should never be trusted with our coin. A highly reputable exchange can close for any reason. Reputation now lies in our ability to safe guard our digital assets our selves. If we must buy from CEX we also should be fast to move them where we have full custody and control of our funds. Most preferable buying from DEX is far safer and secure
232  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Females domination in Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies on: April 07, 2023, 09:14:30 AM
If you really claim women who make efforts to improve the crypto and blockchain space are seldomly talked about how come their names and contributions are made available online and how come you have access to them.

There is no how a specific contribution made by any gender will not be discussed, the reason why you assume females are less celebrated in the blockchain space is because females in the space are few so no matter how the male echo their contribution it will not have much significance compared to when the have a massive number in the block.
233  Economy / Economics / Re: If the dollar/fiat was worthless! on: April 07, 2023, 08:10:19 AM
Bitcoin might not have an intrinsic value but within it self it has an equivalent for all currencies in the world, as such if Dollar drops to zero it will still maintain it's value in other currencies that has value and if those currencies faces inflation it will give more value to Bitcoin and Bitcoin value to Dollar will as well skyrocket

Secondly Dollar is a global reserve currency so if by any means it losses it's value another currency will replace it and Bitcoin will still maintain its fiat equivalent for the new reserve.

Before raising complain to lock a thread you should first compare the information each thread is passing across. Many topic about a particular subject matter might come up but what makes each one different is the content each of them carry. This is not the first time so many topics about a particular thing is raised and it won't obviously be the last.
235  Other / Beginners & Help / It is getting more tougher in the CEX Market on: April 06, 2023, 08:01:24 AM
I made this topic sometime in December about how Paxful CEO warned users to be responsible for their coin. here they are today having internal Crisis that might lead to a shot down of their peer to peer market. Be responsible for your coin.

Recently Paxful co-fonder  Artur Schaback sued Youssef the CEO of paxful and the company for been kicked out of the company more than a year ago which has resulted in closure of the exchange. This time there might be no panic for their customers as  customers have access to retrieve their funds now they have the opportunity. But what happens to those who don't get the information in time maybe when the exchange is completely closed and all activities seized

source


No matter how the CEX tries to stand out from the rest the fact they have a access to people to peoples funds and they have a central deciding body they cannot be too far from the worst the crypto market have experienced. No exchange is too big to fold and close down. The evidence that self custody is the most reliable keeps proving itself.

So far as of June 2022 not fewer than 525 exchanges has closed down their activities across different nations for various excuses according  and the most common been the pressure from the bear market according to CoinMarketCap and July alone in 2022 recorded 25 closed exchanges. It is really hitting heavily on exchanges, An effect of poor reserve.

Outside the Crypto firm NFT platform Open resulted in cutting down 20% of their workforce due to the harsh market condition. It is hitting from all nook and corner of the digital asset.

Newcastle United and Manchester United in the race with top fourth position standing awhile after both team winning last night match, Newcastle won 1-5 from West Ham United and one goal from Marcus Rashford helped Manchester United keep in the top fourth standing having the same points with Newcastle on 3rd standings.

Talking about chance who will finish on 3rd standing for both team between Newcastle and United seems have the same chance, left matches Newcastle against Spur, Chelsea and Arsenal are potential team for stopping Newcastle points. In another side, Manchester United have several big matches left against Spur and Chelsea.
As long as Newcastle maintains their winning streak the third place will remain theirs till the end of the season. The have 21 goal difference ahead of Manchester united. If the both teams don't lose any more match till the end of season or the end up with the same points Newcastle will dominate the third place.

Don't forget Brighton because they too can be an obstacle for Manu. Both teams have equal three big teams to contend with before claiming the third place fully.
237  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: April 06, 2023, 06:53:27 AM
Real Madrid really deserved the victory, because they didn't allowed Barcelona to score a single goal from the match to prove to people that the injuries some of their players had some months ago that affected some of their potential players not to performed well that gave Barcelona to defeated them 2-1 in the first leg. Real Madrid were able to used all their potential players to played the second leg to defeated Barcelona 4-0 which is a sign that Real Madrid may have something reasonable to achieve in this tournament. Barcelona performance was very poor in this second leg which their coach need to apply some skills that will improve their performance in their remaining matches.
One thing i understand about El Classico is that expect anything. A competition where home or away matters less. The come back in the second Leg at Camp Nou proved so many things. It was almost the same sets of players in the firs t leg of the Copa Del Rey. The only change was the formation and starting Rordrygo and sending F Valverde to Midfield which i don't see as excuse for Barcelona losing such amount of goals. But this is El Classico where anything is possible.
238  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best time to gamble on: April 05, 2023, 07:10:07 PM
It is obviously evening because before then all predictions must have been done and comparison completed. I also chose evening because the brain should have rested from the day time stress this goes specifically for the working class and also by then no more workload to stand in as distraction. It doesn't guarantee winning anyways but it can be an advantage to because there will be enough time to analyse and crosscheck.
239  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 05, 2023, 07:01:21 PM
West ham will face Newcastle in today's postponed match and it looks like this victory is very important for Newcastle to widen the distance from Manchester United and Spurs in the standings. We all know that the points earned by the three teams are equal to 50 points. On the other hand, this will be a very good record for Eddie Howie's squad to continue their positive trend after they were able to beat Manchester United at home in the previous game. However, elsewhere Manchester United will also try hard to get full points against Brentford, of course the Red Devils also don't want to lose to compete with Newcastle for the 3rd position in the standings.
Newcastle is playing away but there is confidence they will take their three points home. My concern is for Manchester United if they can back the 4-0 defeat they faced earlier this season against Brentford. This second meeting is not just about having points to compete with Newcastle for the third place but also to erase that humiliating defeat they faced earlier. The matches are up and running i wish Manu luck in todays game.
