741  Economy / Speculation / Re: My Best Bitcoin Chart Ever on: November 11, 2023, 08:31:43 PM
$178,000 in late 2025 will do nicely. If history repeats then this seems like a correct timing for the ATH, before entering the next bear market. This would align with diminishing returns also as $178,000 is less than 3 x  the last ATH of $69,000. I think we will all be happy if $178,000 happens in 2025 though.
The said price is not that far from $100k so I think I can also agree with that. As for the $100k that I mentioned earlier, many are optimistic about it that it will occur next year. It can be before, during, or after the halving. History truly can repeat if there is a halving because the event is already proven to give a positive impact on the price of BTC and other cryptos. Once we surpass $69k, it is already considered as ATH.

And for us to have another/new ATH we will only need to surpass the previous ATH again. ATH or a bull run will always occur before a bear market takes over because that is how this market and other financial market works.

It's supposed to be buying low and hodling, and not just to simply buy at any price levels. But then I realized there are people who do a DCA and it was one of the famous strategies for those who invest in BTC. Well, in DCA, there are still times where they can buy at a low price and then those who commit it are more obliged to hold their coins for a very long time (be it 2 years or more).

I'm sure they can always seek a justice for the actions that they have made earlier. Also, it was actually the old investors are benefiting over the newer one's, because when there are new people who invest, that will make the price rise, so old investors can now sell for profit. We all are not the same. Some investors are not well prepared and may need money occasionally, so they can sell no matter what the circumstances are.
743  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Would you Like Your Pension Paid in Bitcoin? on: November 11, 2023, 06:25:24 PM
I don't think the company will want to follow what you want to happen either. Then I have not seen any company in this era, even before no one has done such a thing that a company paid their employees via Bitcoin.

So, if you receive your pension, you should exchange it for bitcoin if you also want to hold it long-term, and this is the best way to at least somehow get a profit from bitcoin.
I think this is only possible to happen if a company is in the I.T field because they probably get used to BTC. The same goes to the workers of it. If not, then yeah it may not really be possible because number one; The owners may not be aware about BTC;

And number two, other employees are not going to do the same thing. For now, the only best thing that the OP can do, is to follow your advice there of manually converting his fiat into BTC, if that's what he wants. The best way to profit from BTC is I think via doing trades, and not thru investing because in trading, it is possible for one to earn unlimited profits in a short period of time only, as long as they are already well skilled.
744  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A tip for staying resposible while gambling. on: November 11, 2023, 04:53:01 PM
Lmao, this won’t do shit. Do you think those who gamble excessively don’t know or during their session don’t think about the stress they went through just to get the money they’re using to gamble? They clearly do and would still gamble just to satisfy their urge.

If you had said something about them reducing their bankroll I would have agreed with it but the idea of placing a money not on the front of their screen to remind them that they are beginning to cross the line I don’t think it will work.
Maybe some compulsive gambler are like that, but I still think that many of them do only care about one thing, and that is by doing the thing that they truly like the most. An addicted person can steal money. This is not hard but only take some guts. If you are an addict, you are numb already so you can easily do things like that.

It will be easy for you to spend the money that doesn't come from your own hard work. We can give advice like that, such as reducing a bankroll but the question is if they will obey it? About the other suggestion, I think that can only work if they are playing an offline gambling because it also uses physical money.
745  Economy / Economics / Re: If the global economy collapses what's the first thing you do? on: November 10, 2023, 08:29:34 PM
Honestly if you have BTC congrats !!! We are heading  into a major economic shift and I feel like when the tides are turning like this there should be a conscious effort to land on the right side of that shift!!! Am I right? What should bitcoiners be doing right now to prepare for a potential global economic hardship other than the obvious which is to hodl and accumulate as much as you can...
Knowing Bitcoin from the start is a blessing for many people, just imagine that in the last few weeks the price of Bitcoin has continued to increase and that shows clearly that the very volatile price of Bitcoin will continue to be like that. It is very likely that the price of Bitcoin will penetrate the ATH before or after the halving occurs. Well, anyone who has bought Bitcoin, either by DCA or buying the dip, I congratulate you, Bitcoin is an investment asset that will definitely never make a loss and is very good for the economy.
Us that are very late already consider it as a huge blessing, so how much more those who knew it from the start? Deym, I think those people can even build a statue of Satoshi in their backyard and maybe build a church like building for them and other Bitcoiner's to praise Satoshi and his creation BTC at a specific period of time. And maybe they can also share their ideas there to each other about BTC if how can they improve or how can they help BTC more to grow.

BTC is volatile which means, there are also times where the movement will shift in the other direction. But that's okay, at least we can buy at low and we can simply wait for the price again to recover in order for us to sell for profit. If we can attain ATH before halving then great but if not, I'm still cool with it. I'm already happy and contented that BTC helps me a lot of times and for more years to come especially when there are problems with the economy, whether personal or global.

The point is to consider irresponsible casino sites so that you can avoid them and play at casinos that are responsible for you.
What do you mean by responsible and irresponsible casinos? I didn't know that casinos can also be responsible and irresponsible, I thought they were just trusted and reputable and it's gamblers who are responsible or irresponsible with their gambling activities and habits because they are the ones who are in charge of their bets, the bankroll, time being spent in the casino, and any other thing related to it, and the casino has nothing to do with any of those things.

So, a gambler should consider choosing a casino platform that has a good reputation and is trusted among the gambling community, and they should be responsible and disciplined with their gambling activities so that they don't spend more than enough time and money and take gambling too seriously.
747  Economy / Gambling / Re: what are the best crypto casinos! on: November 10, 2023, 05:40:59 PM
All of us have different perspective in life so we can not say that we are all the same feelings in one casino, here's a thing which you want to play in that casino cause you felt good and you already withdraw your winning amount. but not all the gamblers want that casino too.
In reality there are many trusted casino out there so we can choose where we can play all we need to do is to read the feedback of the players who already try on that casino .
You're actually right, one man's food maybe another man's poison, gambling comes with different tastes depending on the platform we are using,  we may choose to have a particular gambling experience when we are placing bet on a casino and discover another platform having different games and we may not have that same interests in that as the former one, gambling is what we should seek after being satisfied with what we are looking after irrespective of the gambling platforms, if we also have a trusted feedback, we can work on it as well.
I believe that a gambler would mostly look for a platform that can provide the best services like good customer service, user-friendly and good user interface, good original games, availability of games from all game providers, and most importantly, quick deposits and withdrawals, without any issues and interruptions because problems with finances can make someone irritated and one would want a seamless experience where they shouldn't face any sort of issues at all.

So, any platform, as long as it's providing all the things I've mentioned above, will be liked by a true gambler. There aren't a lot of gamblers who would get attracted by bonuses and promotions without looking at other and more important aspects, a platform with no trust and reputation but with good bonuses wouldn't attract an experienced gambler.
748  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hot take: Your crypto portfolio should have more than just Bitcoin. on: November 10, 2023, 08:19:12 AM
Well, it's true that one needs to do both, holding and trading, to keep earning profits constantly without having to wait for a certain amount of time before they get something out of their long-term investments. However, one needs to be careful about how they approach trading because those who are just investors might not be good traders if they don't have ample knowledge about it. So, someone who has just been buying and holding should first learn about how trading, or short-term trading, works before they venture into it.

Once they learn everything about trading and understand when and how they should buy altcoins and which altcoins they should buy, then they can start buying and selling altcoins for short time periods to get small percentages of profits from each trade, and they need to make sure that they are trading altcoins that are at least trusted instead of looking for higher profits.
749  Economy / Gambling / Re: Best Aviator platform on: November 09, 2023, 07:02:41 PM
I was thinking this is a new casino not until I checked for myself to see when it was first founded in the year 2019 which is very much alright. I also noticed that the casino is possibly an Indian owned casino as I noticed the fiat payment gateway and currency and also the owner and team members are Indians coupled with the website domain..

This casino is not known here and I am just seeing it for the first time and it would be nice the casino gets an announcement thread for themselves so as to further promote their presence here.

I don't know how the OP says it became the best game. because if I look at the games, they are just ordinary games if I compare them to others, to be honest. The only difference is that he has a demo before you jump into the game.

But overall, it's almost the same as other platforms that also have similar concept games for gamblers. Therefore, I don't see any special things in that matter, to be honest.
Maybe for him only because he also said that he likes this game so much. This thread can be a big help for those people who also like this game and if they haven't discovered that site yet. I just discovered this game lately when I'm trying new casino sites that have a free spin promotion.

I didn't open the game but I suspect they are only like a crash game. We know crash game right? They have different themes, but the best ones that fit for them are the space/sky ones or those who involved a rocket, and a plane because the goal of the game is to not get crashed. Other games actually has a demo but sometimes its availability can also depend on the platform.
750  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: For Newbies Interested in Gambling on: November 09, 2023, 03:58:16 PM
It is entirely wrong for new players to think this is a place to make money. The percentage of people who make money from this gambling is tiny. Think of this as a game. If you get a reward, it's just luck. Don't be greedy, which will lead to addiction.
I agree that experience and knowledge are needed in gambling. But the chance of winning in that factor is only about 30%. 70% must depend on the player's luck.
If you are talking about gambling games, then no, you don't need knowledge and experience in it, the only knowledge that you need for gambling games is to know how you can set the bet amount and which button you should press to roll or spin or play whatever game it is, and the rest is on your luck whether you will win or lose. No other knowledge, experience, strategies, patterns, or anything can make you win when you are playing gambling games and it's all dependent on your luck.

It's sports betting where you require knowledge and experience to be able to choose the side that you know will have an advantage in the game since it's the better side with better players because you can't always win by choosing a random side in sports betting and luck only has a small influence in this area of gambling.
751  Economy / Gambling / Re: Seabet.io Online Casino on: November 09, 2023, 07:28:35 AM
I like the fact that you admitted to your mistake here while announcing your casino. I will suggest you looking into other casinos announcement thread and see for yourself how they did theirs. I know you would learn from it too because it would guide you through to having a good and perfect announcement thread for your casino. As the representative of the casino here, in it is your personal responsibility and duties to making sure that the casino is well represented and presented  here following good forum standard because first impression matters here in this community.
Obviously he needs that. To admit his mistake because if not, it's going to be an instant turn-off. People will think that they are not accommodating and they will now avoid this casino instantly. Maybe it's true that first impression matters. They did an early mistake there but given that they admit it, then there is still a chance that people here will gave them another chance to correct it and they will also try to sign up and play to the casino.

Getting an inspiration from the other casino is great but they should only ensure that the originality is still there. This is another way to get the people impressed and makes them stands out from the common ones.
752  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wedding expenses and party celebrations with Bitcoin money. on: November 09, 2023, 05:29:11 AM
I venture to guess that the title of the thread, taken literally, is false. The way the OP is exposed, what he has done is invest in bitcoin and then sell that bitcoin for fiat to pay for the wedding. So sort of clickbait the title, I don't know if it's out of ignorance. I doubt very much that he paid the wedding hall or whatever and related expenses directly by sending them bitcoin.
I think you're overthinking it. If you've read the starting post, it's clear that English is not the first language of OP and the mistakes in the title or the opening post are merely language errors and aren't an attempt to clickbait or misguide people, in my opinion.



First of all, congratulations OP, for your marriage, and best of luck for your future.
Your story reminded me of the first time when I converted my first earned bitcoins into my local currency and bought a motorbike for myself. The feeling is unexplainable, you can't describe it in words. For me, it was my first ever income, I was a student and never worked for money before that, and when I bought something for myself with my own money, I was out of the world and flying high due to happiness. So, I can relate to what you must be feeling.
753  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 08, 2023, 06:26:54 PM
I just watched Lakers vs Miami game, I mean the highlights of course not the full game, and I have to say both teams not scoring a single point for the last 2 minutes and 37 seconds is the explanation of how that game went. Lakers managed to come back from 13 point deficit on the last 4-5 minutes, and just 2-3 minutes of it, and on the rest of the 2.5 minutes they didn't score a single bucket. Heat is still one of the best defending teams of the league, no matter how they lost to Nuggets, they were still quite well and they did alright until there and they seem like they still have that.

I mean if they got Dame that would have been a whole another story, they would have fixed scoring issue when needed, but their defense at least seems great. Lebron was great once again, Austin Reeves literally lead the rebounds, but one thing to keep in mind that AD is still not playing as well as people expect him to play, he needs to get better, it has been a few games.
754  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Using TV( GOTV, DSTV) monthly subscription money to invest in bitcoin on: November 08, 2023, 05:25:02 PM
You should have done that a long time ago. Who watches TV using a cable connection or subscriptions that you've mentioned these days when you can easily access almost everything you can watch on TV on the internet? Most LED TVs these days support Wi-Fi connections and can easily be connected to the internet and you can use YouTube, or any other app to watch and access all the content that you like on the go, without even having to worry about power going out or anything as you can continue watching your favorite content from where you were interrupted due to power or anything else.

Even kids won't need a subscription to watch their favorite shows and cartoons, etc., since they are also available online and you can just play their favorites on YouTube, or you can download their favorite movies and shows and put them in a portable USB stick that you can connect with your TV and play them for the kids watch.
755  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice for new comers on: November 08, 2023, 04:29:40 PM
Just play for fun and no matter how much your mind wants to chase losses and hope that you will win, follow your set principle on how long you're going to gamble. In fact, when the time that that kind of stuff is ringing through your head (chasing losses), that's probably a good time to stop gambling even if you still have any remaining funds for your gambling session for that day. Trust me, when the lose streak comes, it's inevitable that you're going to see more losses because you're having more and more problems thinking straight because you want to win so bad.
If he only play for fun he will never have that kind of thinking of chasing his losses because when we play for fun, we will only lose small amounts or those amounts that we can only afford to lose easily. But if he already started playing for profit, he can move on to your second suggestion. That is, again, he shouldn't ever think of chasing his losses.

Many of us already experience it and the result is always going to be unpleasant. Sure some get lucky for a while but it will only make you more greedy where you will play again because you said to your self that you don't have any losses anyway but losses will come eventually. Things are only repeating like we are in a loop.
756  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Believe That Reading People's Bad Experience Will Help You on: November 07, 2023, 05:28:05 PM
It may or may not have an impact on someone based on their mindset about gambling or things in general. People who tend to learn from the mistakes that others make will surely find such stories and readings useful as they will become more careful and vigilant when gambling, but there can also be people who wouldn't care about what others have experienced and they will say that they will have a different experience and these stories aren't true or whatever.

What I believe is that one should at least read such stories and stuff for educational and knowledge purposes so that they should at least know the negative consequences of certain things that they might do while gambling and if they know about them, they might avoid doing those things like chasing losses, etc.
757  Economy / Economics / Re: Young people needs productive mindset to be happy in life on: November 07, 2023, 03:02:45 PM
This actually depends on the country you are living in. Yeah, in some third-world countries, it's really difficult to get employment after graduating from the university, but things are not the same everywhere around the world. Some people are still living in a country where getting a job after graduation is not so difficult unless the person is actually seeking a particular job that is not yet available at that moment, but if it's still a job they can get to make a living, then it's possible. In those countries where getting a job is becoming difficult, a sound mind, like you said (OP), and a clever talent are what they need to surface the unemployment issues and still make a living off their talent.

I have some friends whom I graduated with some years ago; some are still waiting for good employment, while others are business owners now. One of my best friends has a very large telecommunications house where all kinds of accessories, gadgets, laptops, phones, and tablets are sold. That's actually being a boss of his own and not just wasting precious time waiting on the government.
A lot of people, even if graduated or have very high educational degrees, don't prefer employment over self-employment because employment is slavery in the real sense, you are a worker who is ordered to do certain tasks and then get paid based on that, while when you are self-employed, you are free from that, you are your own boss, and you will have other people working under you which is great because you don't have to listen to anyone and do whatever you want.

Employment is the last option for someone who needs a source of income to take care of their and their family's needs because if you allow someone to choose between running their own business or getting a good job, they will most probably choose running or starting their own business because that's way better than being an employ.

It is really difficult for Napoli to keep up with Inter and Juventus these days. However I can't say the same thing when it comes to Milan. Because Milan's performance has been on the decline for a few weeks. First those two losses in big games and a very unexpected loss against Udinese in San Siro after. This is a huge downgrade.

Napoli have closen up the gap with them by 6 points in the meantime and they are only 1 point behind now. But I still can't trust Napoli very much either because they can also make very surprising point losses as well. Thankfully they didn't do so against Salernitana.  Grin
At the top just two teams are giving their best consistently, and they are currently hot for the title race as well with AC Milan suddenly down and having eight points cut from their last three games which bring them down just one point ahead of the defending champions which are currently at the fourth spot and improving their performance for the better result but still things are not as needed we can expect few more changes because AS Roma is also impressive in last few matches, and they can champ for the challenge as well.

We have four points difference from 4th spotted Napoli to 8th spotted Fiorentina which having the worst time after losing three consecutive matches but still race for the two spots at the top are wide open for these teams and things can take good changes in coming days as well specially AS Roma consistency is good which will make good entertainment for the fans.
759  Economy / Economics / Re: Are You Sticking to Your Plan or Has Life Made You Pause or Modify It? on: November 07, 2023, 03:01:39 AM
Unfortunately, nothing goes always as planned not only in investing but our whole life we receive news or things that will always make us change our plans, for example this year I was saving and investing in Bitcoin. Until I receive a new university acceptation that requires paying the full first part before getting started, So I had to use almost all my Bitcoin and sell it at a cheaper price than what it is now.
It’s so unfortunate but also you can’t do anything else, but worth to say that I didn’t give up and still saving on every chance and still believe just like any other time in my plan, as you said it’s only a pause and than you continue your road by sticking to your plan.
This is the reason why it's important to always have some emergency funds kept aside for such situations apart from your investments in Bitcoin and other financial markets where you know you might not be able to sell your assets with profit when you require funds but you might be compelled to do that since you need money. Since you will have some emergency funds saved for such situations, you will have the option to use those funds instead of selling your assets at a loss or before the price that you originally planned to sell them for.

When you are saving for your investments, try to save some money for emergencies as well and keep it separate and keep it fiat so that you don't have to worry about selling and using them no matter how the condition of the market is, and you wouldn't have to sell your Bitcoin holdings for the sake of paying money for the emergency you are facing.
760  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is horse racing so unpopular here and a bit of extra feedback on: November 06, 2023, 03:01:16 PM

However we do not yet know how many gamblers are involved in horse racing on this forum because this board does not have a specific thread discussing horse racing so we cannot research the level of interest of forum users towards horse racing betting, if horse racing matches become more interesting and they will try your luck in betting on these sports.
That's probably because no one knows where to watch it? Are the organizers of those races streaming them or broadcasting them in a sports channel somewhere? I believe if it's accessible like those other sports, it might become more popular in the forum. But I'm not much of a gambler. I like playing Craps sometimes when I have absolutely nothing to do.
It's true, you can barely find any channel live streaming the races or any TV channel broadcasting them live to the audience so that they can watch the races and maybe raise some interest. It's been years since the last time I saw a horse racing live stream or a sports TV broadcasting a horse racing competition, maybe because there isn't a lot happening and the organizers already know that there aren't a lot of people interested in the sport on a global scale.

Whatever the reason is, the sport is slowly fading away and sooner or later, the world will forget that there was once a sport like this, or maybe a future generation will start the sport once again with a new start, new rules, and ways for the race and racers, etc. For now, we are going to admit that horse racing isn't a popular sport anymore.
