1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Selling BTC for Alt Coins? on: May 12, 2024, 11:15:20 AM
I have around 2.1k in btc rn and was wondering if I should sell it and invest in a couple of altcoin projects, would that be a good idea? I know Bitcoin will never ever do another 5x in the near future haha so that's kind of why I would wanna sell. The market cap of btc would have to reach a very high amount for it to be life-changing money to me.

When I read the topic of this thread, the follow come in my head was... " Is quite dumb".

If for personal reasons, you think that'll be a good idea, then fine, go ahead, but if it's for financial reasons, considering where Bitcoin is now and is still going to be, I personally think that's a freaking dumb idea. Investing in 5 separate altcoins won't be able to even reach Bitcoin, so like why?

I honestly think you should continue to hold Bitcoin, make more money, and invest in altcoins, as you wish to do. But liquidating your Bitcoin holdings only to invest in altcoins isn't really a smart idea.
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Binance launches Notcoin (NOT) on launchpool. on: May 12, 2024, 11:07:57 AM
You can stake BNB and FUSD to farm NOT coins. Tap to earn mining rewards. Listing will happen on 16th and trading will start from 12:00 UTC. Including Binance two other exchanges OKX and Bybit will list NOT coin. Those who had mined the coin will be able to claim them on the listing date which is same for other two exchanges.

What do you guys think? Will NOT pump after listing or will it get dump?


It's really good, the work the developers have put in, and of course, their marketing committee. May not be too sure of the date you put forward, cause just yesterday, a friend of mine was talking about her claiming her coins. Maybe I heard wrong.  But it's a good thing their going to be listed. For years now a lot of other coins have been carrying out lots of activities to help their being listings on Binance and other platforms, but to no avail. Still on the topic, has Pi coin been listed? Last time I checked a lot of people were still mining their coins.

By the way, I think NOT will definitely pump, and if it's popularity increases, it would barely dump afterwards even if it's price fluctuates to the decreasing side.

Sui, Arbitrum, optimism I guess you guys are fimilar with there 3 altcoins, which are less then 1year old, launched in 2023. When i track their performance i feel wonder cause they are owning layer-two blockchain and their growth speed is very higher then others good Altcoins. I found these altcoins Valuable for holding. What is your opinion about these altcoins? Are you holding any of these or have any plan to buy?

Yes, have probably heard of the first 2 somewhere, but not the last. Judging from what you've said OP, you've definitely carried out your research to know how good and successful they are. Barely are there altcoins valuable for hodling. If there are I'd say it'll be amongst Ethereum, Dogecoin, and Litecoin ( personal preference), but anyways, this may be promising too.

I'm not hodling any of these nor do I have any plan of buying any of them now, but let's see what the future holds for these coins. Maybe I may be a holder of any of them in the near future.
4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what things can do if i hodle for long time crypto on: May 11, 2024, 11:50:52 AM

what are methods you used to forget the market conditions and keep hodl?

In my story , i always log to twitter and see what is happing , see coinmarketcap always, see youtube videos related to crypto. so this makes me sometimes panic , fear. 

please update what things you do

The crypto market has existed for a very long time to still be scared. You can start by dropping a little bit of the information research. Stay away from videos and texts that'll make you sacred. If you come across some of them unexpectedly, you should always tell yourself that after every dump is a pump, and the more you wait, the more you gain.

You can also lock your assets. I think alot of wallets have such features and if you'll still feel scared or tempted, you can purchase a hard wallet. Very useful and safe.
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who's responsible for the dead coins? on: May 11, 2024, 11:02:42 AM
Between developers and Investors, who's responsible for the AltCoins that goes dump or likely to be ghost coins in total disappearance even from the market cap?
Rumours goes around that it's the developers intentions while done days it's the Investors impacts that determines how much active the and stable the AltCoins could stay in the market cap.

So, who's responsible when the Coins dies?

I feel you may have asked and answered this question, but then...

When a coin comes into the market, what determines its price and how good it is, is it's popularity, and how many people are willing to invest in it? This makes the coin more trusted, more popular, and more valued.

If a coin comes into the market and due to some reasons, people are unwilling to invest in it, it'll lead to it's death and it's dis-listing. But what causes people to not invest in it is definitely a fault in it's programming, which is its developers or its marketing team's fault for not promoting it properly. People won't want to buy it cause no one would want to buy it from them. Although, most of these coins experience a short-term pump and leave, people's little trust in it makes the pump and death easier.
6  Economy / Economics / Re: Starting a business without capital. on: May 11, 2024, 10:48:25 AM
Is very possible starting up a business without capital all you need is your ability of pursuing success.
Affiliate marketing is a business you can venture into without capital and still make good money from it, even more than some businesses started with capital.
Affiliate marketing is the process by which a person earns a commission for marketing another person's products.
All you need to start this business is good communication skill in other to sell the product of the other person and get a commission for doing that.
You can decide to market product of different company or person's at same time by doing this you are sure that everyday someone will buy from one of those product's there by making money every day.
When you become an expert in affiliate marketing you will start making profit every day of your life.

Yes, affiliate marketing, the 21st-century business. It's really good for people who are good at MARKETING and want to make money on the side. But Affiliate Marketing isn't ' your ' business. So, you can't really say a way to start a business without capital is through affiliate marketing. In Affiliate Marketing, you sell to people for commission, it doesn't belong to you.

But, that doesn't mean there aren't really ways to start businesses without capital. There are a number of ways to start a business without capital. One way is using the customer's money to fund the business. This usually works for small enterprises like a catering business, where one can use the customer's money to buy the ingredients, make it, and take the rest as the pay. People usually continue this until they have their own money or save enough to have their own Capital. You Can research other ways one can start businesses without capital on the internet.
7  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think Bitcoin can end poverty? In a nation today on: May 11, 2024, 10:37:19 AM
For me proverty is not the problem of a person but of the whole nation in my country the eradication of poverty has becomes necessary for the sustainable and inclusive growth of the let state the fate here Bitcoin has helps the poor by Increasin their savings and access to capital also it has help around 1.7million people in my country and also it has also impoverished people to control their investment.

Yes, Bitcoin has the capacity to end poverty in certain countries and for certain people. But, poverty cannot be completely eradicated. "The poor always be around ". It's not possible for everyone in the world to be rich, circumstances differ and while some people are desperately looking for opportunities to be rich, some others don't even want to be rich. Poverty can be reduced to a sustainable level to call it the growth and development of a country, but I don't think there's a country where every single person living in it is even at least able to take care of themselves. Everywhere you go, you will always find a few people who can't afford or spend over $1 a day.

So, in as much as Bitcoin may actually have the capacity to eradicate poverty in some countries, a lot of people stop themselves from being rich.
8  Economy / Economics / Re: Take care of your money and learn to save. on: May 11, 2024, 09:58:28 AM
Yes, people's financial situations aren't always the same, but the thing about people coming code to you when you have money and leaving you when you don't isn't something I'm making money for. Spending money just cause you want people to be around you is careless and out of desperate desires.

Personally, I'm more concerned about the "lonely at the top" phenomenon. Because people don't really care about anyone anymore, just themselves and so should you. Take care of your money, and yourself, invest in yourself, and save more, and the future will take care of itself if you do the right things now.
9  Economy / Economics / Re: Personal Financial Goals vs Government expectations! on: May 11, 2024, 09:43:55 AM
Have you ever thought about this, what we are trying to achieve in our personal financial life is completely diverge from what the government expects their citizens to do.

We as Individuals always thrive to achieve financial independence in our lives especially someone who is from the average middle person but what the government expects from the middle class is different and is kind of surprising when we give deep thought about it, The Government highly relies on the middle-class tax payers for the money and most of the taxes collected in the form of indirect taxes so that people may not actually aware that they are paying taxes for everything from their salary, fuel, medicine, anything everything has taxes that eat most our earnings.

So as a result we are paying from 10% to over 50% of our earnings just in the form of taxes in one or another way. So one who really wants to achieve financial independence should find a way to reduce their tax pay legally like how the businessmen do.

Or like the bald guy says, we need to find a way to exit the Matrix. Cheesy

 Cheesy lol ... But on a serious note the government does feed on the dreams and goals of the people. Can't remember where I read this but, someone said, "In order to become rich, one would have to reduce their taxes & liabilities and increase their assets. In order to escape the matrix, you have to do the same. People work their whole life just to earn a pension afterwards but barely ever live a fulfilled because they sold themselves and their dreams to their country.

You have to learn to put yourself first, even if you're a government worker. Have side hustles, try to save, buy assets, and invest more. Your personal financial goals should matter more to you.
10  Economy / Economics / Re: Stagnant Salaries vs. Inflationary Savings Tax on: May 11, 2024, 09:33:51 AM
Which of these economic situations would you prefer to find yourself in?

A- Your salary is stagnant but prices fall. Where this happens, your real purchasing power has increased.  It's called constructive deflation. And even if your salary falls, but prices fall faster, you are still ahead.


B- Having your savings taxed 2%+ a year by inflation.

Drop your thoughts

Of course, everybody is going to pick the 1st option. Like... This isn't even debatable, there's nothing good or cool about the second option. Unless you're literally living in such an economic situation in reality.

Having your savings taxed by 2%+ every year wouldn't be that bad if instead of saving, you invested. Now that's gonna turn your inflated savings into a (deflated) asset. The value of your money would increase, and you would be able to spend more/ buy more. So, the second option isn't that bad if you utilize your money properly.
11  Economy / Economics / Re: Money is all wealth? on: May 11, 2024, 08:46:05 AM
Now it seems to me that money is all there is to survive in the world. Since 2020, since family finances have worsened, it is slowly seeming like money is everything in this world. Where there is no money you will find nothing. There is a saying that many people say, money can never buy you happiness but to me this is the funniest saying. Because without money you can never get all the things you want for happiness. In every case in this world you must depend on money to survive. Now I have to force myself to believe that at the end of the day it seems impossible to run this world without money. Where you have to depend on money to do every job or take every step, from studying, there is no other way and at the end of the day it seems to me that studying where there is financial insecurity is also unusual or not worth it.  Because when you see that your father in your family has taken the responsibility of your entire family on his shoulders and it has become much more difficult for him to carry the responsibility of the family, then you will no longer want to do anything other than earning money, then only the sense of responsibility will work in your head. I don't know how accurate my words are but to me it seems right now in this situation.

What you said in regards to the saying  " money can never buy you happiness" is true. Without money, a man can barely be happy. But, there are several aspects and sectors of wealth.

For a man to be considered wealthy, he has to have assets, not money as in fiat currency, peace of mind. He has to be smart and be surrounded by people who are smarter. Good health and a healthy lifestyle. There may be more, but these are the most important. You see, which one of these things doesn't need money to be sponsored? None of them.

I think it's all a mindset thing, if one believes their happiness can't be bought by money, they would be free from it's bondage, and may really be happy without money. And if someone believes money can buy happiness, they may never be truly happy, unless they have money, and will always want to work hard for their happiness. So this is really a mindset thing.
12  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When is it right to invest in Bitcoin? on: May 10, 2024, 07:20:31 PM
Investing in bitcoin is not something you can just start doing, proper knowledge and planning is needed. Knowing that it is best invested as a short term for beginners like me and long term for experience investors so as to make profit. As an investor, one need to have other means of earnings in other not to stagger when unforeseen occurrences comes like in the bear market(period when bitcoin price falls). Knowing all of these, my questions are:
-When is it the right time to invest in bitcon?
-How can one start planning?
-How do you follow up your bitcoin investment and other businesses?
-What are the assurance that you are ready?



1. During the bearish period. Doesn't seem reasonable, but in this period the price of Bitcoin reduces drastically and people sell out their assets due to fear. The type of people who usually do these are those without full knowledge of how the Bitcoin market works. You buy during this period, of course after obtaining proper knowledge of the market too, so you don't purchase it and it becomes a loss.

2. This question is a little bit vague. planning for what exactly?

If it's planning to invest in Bitcoin then you can start by getting a job, saving, reading investment books, and taking action. You may fail, you will fail, but it's an experience you'll need for a bigger quest or goal.

3. Review. Track your progress. Literally, follow up by tracking your progress.

4. No one is ever ready. ( There's a high probability this is from a movie). Take action, you will fail, get up and learn. Waiting till you're ready may take forever.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please, I urge you to buy bitcoin! on: May 10, 2024, 07:09:24 PM
^^^ With 8 billion people on Earth, that's (on average) 262500 satoshis per person. Plenty enough to do business with.

Cool

Sure  Cheesy... Wish that was how it worked, but some of us are greedy and won't stick with 262500 satashis. Anyways, bitcoin is experiencing a bull run. It may not be the perfect season to buy it but you can definitely still buy it if you've got the cash or you work for it.

Whatever you do, obtain it because, as OP said, it's  21 million pieces of freedom found in this century, the 21st century. Hmm... Not weird at all¿... What if both numbers have a connection huh?  Cheesy
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you trust bitcoin holders? on: May 09, 2024, 07:06:49 PM
Since Bitcoin promotes mostly anti-government, banks, etc.


I am wondering; Do you trust bitcoin holders?

Is there a reason why I should ?... Definitely, we all know, that anything that has an advantage also has its disadvantages. Bitcoin is used for a lot of good and great things and is also used to sponsor illegal and bad things. So, that's that about what Bitcoin promotes, but how exactly does it relate to or concern me and the Bitcoin holders?

A lot of people are holding as future investments, so they can fall back on something real good in the future, and others such as the anyi- government and banks, like you've mentioned are also bent on holding it for whatever reason. But honestly, I still don't see my business with them. Is there a particular reason why I should, or shouldn't?

15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 5 Coins to buy - good selection? on: May 08, 2024, 05:57:50 PM
Hello guys,

do you think that this is a good crypto selection to invest 5k €, 1k each?

- Render (RNDR)
- Moonbeam (GLMR)
- NEAR Protocol
- Solana
- Shiba Inu

Im especially interested in your opinion in RNDR


And do you think it’s better to invest in those 5 coins mentioned above than putting all 5k into just near, shiba and glmr?



I literally feel like over 80% of the threads on the altcoin board are constantly talking about cryptocurrencies to buy. Like... The stats don't change man, why constantly make threads where were either repeating what we've chosen over and over again or calling something extra? Isn't there something else about altcoin there is to talk about?

Anyway, this isn't the best place to even make this known. Just to answer you if you must know ... Then bitcoins always gonna be number one for me, others would be; Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Ravencoin, and meme coin. Thank you.
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is your strategy to win in this bull run? on: May 08, 2024, 04:59:49 PM
I'll list here my strategy that I am thinking about at the moment to increase my amount of sats throughout this bull run of 2024 and 2025. We have until the end of this bull run to maximize our gains with promising currencies with great potential.

You can comment if you agree with me or if you would do it differently.You can comment if you agree with me or if you would do it differently.

With the current scenario, Bitcoin exploded a little after the approval of its ETF (especially before it).

I made some trades in ETH speculating on the approval of its ETF, but it didn't give returns as much as BTC, that being said, the market is mainly targeting BTC now, so I think it makes sense for me to keep the majority of my portfolio in BTC anyway, for while.

While altcoins, some or others explode upwards, while the majority are only sideways or falling, even at times when Bitcoin has its bullish days.

So I think it's not the time, at least for me, to expose myself to altcoins for now. I think the market is targeting BTC, then it will expand the flow to ETH and consequently altcoins and we will see alt. At the very least, I will wait for BTC's dominance to drop a little to expose myself to some altcoins.

As soon as the altcoins perform well, I'll start trading on the spot, and consequently, when I see profits, I'll trade altcoins in the derivatives market (futures) to maximize profits, doing it this way, I don't need to expose my current bankroll and I 'll just work on derivatives on top of this profit, making exponential profits.

I want to come back here throughout 2025 so I can say that this strategy worked.

_______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________

Comment on your strategies for winning in this market and changing your life, list tools you use that help you with your decisions. I will do the same throughout this thread.


Your plan is great man, but I don't think you should be discouraged about the turnout of altcoins. Usually after the bull season is the altcoin's season, when the prices of altcoins would increase drastically. So, it's easier to buy them now that they are cheap.

My plan for the bull season is to work hard on the forum.. not gonna lie... It's not advisable for anyone to buy Bitcoin anymore. Cause it's price won't be reducing so much for now. So, working hard for Bitcoin and buying a little of promising altcoins and holding them for long ( probably just till the altcoin season ). That way, I will be able to earn from bother the drop and increase in the prices of several cryptocurrencies.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's your favourite Alt-Coin, and why? on: May 03, 2024, 01:55:30 PM
What's your favourite cryptocurrency besides Bitcoin?

Maybe Monero, with its privacy, scalability and fair mining?
Ethereum, with its innovative smart contracts?
Maybe Litecoin, the old and trusted low-fee coin?
Or Bitcoin Cash, which tries to follow Satoshi's vision?
Or, why not, Dogecoin, the funny coin?

Pick your favorite and reply here why you love it!

Ethereum. Let's be honest with ourselves, the second most important and highest-paying cryptocurrency after Bitcoin happens to be Ethereum, and that's why it's popular, and of course, is everyone's favorite altcoin.
A lot of other cryptocurrencies sure experience time of huge pumps and price hikes during certain seasons, but Ethereum is just as cool and popular as Bitcoin and usually remains the highest valuable altcoin. Another reason for me would be; that it serves as a medium of exchange and store of value. Not all altcoins can even be staked. So there you have it ... Ethereum.
18  Economy / Economics / Re: Harmful effect of robot to the world. on: May 03, 2024, 01:45:35 PM
Robots work on the "Garbage in, Garbage out" system. Any man who decides to lay off a huge percentage of his workers to replace them with robots is nothing but a fool. Humans can learn every day and evolve. Robots, not really.

And to be honest, the reason why the government intervenes in the economy is for stuff like this. The government creates businesses and opportunities for people to become employees, so whoever wants to work should go into a government-owned enterprise and work. They even pay more  Wink. I would never subject myself to work for the government, but then again I would never subject myself to work for anyone. So, it's really a question of what everyone wants for themselves. But as for a decline in the economy, that's the government's responsibility.
19  Economy / Economics / Re: Your aging and retirement plan is your responsibility. on: May 03, 2024, 01:35:26 PM
I really do look at how the last generation believes in the retirement plan made by their government. Funny how a lot of people nowadays still believe in stuff like that. Do you know how nice and convenient it'll be if you focus just 10 years in your life on work, in that time build a lot of assets and retire at a young age? Retirement doesn't mean you're totally living on the money you've made or saved it's living on your assets .. and investing every single time you get the opportunity.

It really is sad that people still want to work for the government just cause of a retirement plan that they may not live to see. The same thing goes for assets that some people may not live to use. Try to enjoy every day as you prepare for the future so you don't miss the past or regret it.
20  Economy / Economics / Re: Surviving in this economy needs a new minds set on: May 03, 2024, 01:19:32 PM
Year after year before the cross over service there will be promises of a new beginnings, new hopes, vision, wishes and resolution
Government will come up with the budget of the incoming year and and when you look at the budget it is really interesting with hope's of having a better year ahead as in the budget it capture virtually everything including the economy and other aspects of the nation
But every year that passes on the economic situation is getting worse by the day, infact inflation increase with each year that passes making the living standard of the poor unbearable
This makes me to think and have come to the realization and conclusion that surviving in this present economic situation needs a total different mind set such that will make you to think out side of the box
Investing in crypto currencies like Bitcoin is not a bad idea at all

In as much as this is based on economic matters, I have this feeling you may be in the wrong board. But anyways, you're right on the fact that situations ( take note that it isn't as severe globally) are getting way worse day after day. And one really has to think outside the box in order to survive. No one cares about you, especially not the government, but yourself alone cares about. So, do what's best for you and redeem yourself from whatever bad economy your country is facing.

Remember bad economy is where great minds are discovered. Something that amazes me about an inflated country is that it may be difficult to gather capital for business, but do you know that once you're able to produce a valuable product/ service and market it, you'll gain in an inflated economy more than a good one? Inflation is bad for the middle-class and lower-class people, not for the upper class and businessmen. So, put in the work, and prayers and do what you ought to do now.
