My heart is broken. Why didn't it break through? I've been liquidated.....
That’s the price you pay for wanting to get rich quickly, high returns always come with high risks. You will not be liquidated if you do not intend to get rich quick by engaging in futures trading. If you are serious about your investment journey, I recommend investing and having a long term vision. It may not make you rich but if you stick to your plan, strategy and hold for the long term you will be able to multiply your wealth significantly. Bitcoin is a highly volatile investment, putting all your money into it is extremely risky and a bad idea. There is nothing wrong in doing futures I believe. It only boils down to our knowledge and experience. Even experienced futures traders can get liquidated too. You can not avoid that. All must be serious if money is already the thing that we are talking about but not all can follow the right protocols to successfully gain money here in crypto investing/trading. Having a long-term vision is not only about investing long-term but it can also be possible by investing into short-term. It is just that we must not quit easily.

I am a gambler and I can decided to gamble whenever and wherever I want. I know all what gambling is about, and if I feel like gambling on the street, I can decide to join them that doesn’t make me an irresponsible gambler or irresponsible person, because most people now see you as an irresponsible person if they notice that you are a gambler.
Good choice, and it's not bad When I see people gambling on the street, I get very curious and try to see what it's all about Sometimes they're very basic games, like hiding a ball in some cups , so you have to see where the ball is , but they always cheat so that we lose We have to be careful that they don't steal from us. As I can see, he didn't choose anything there but what he was saying is that he only don't care about what other people think about him. As to me, I think there should be a perfect time and place for everything. Gambling should only be done inside the casino but if it is an online one, then I think it is better to just do it privately in our own homes. I think it is so inappropriate to say that casinos always cheats on us only because we often lose. It is just that, casino is always designed to be like that to profit but in exchange of that, we can still feel a thrill and enjoinment by playing the games that they are offering to us.

I think, once again, Pakistan win this game. The supporters of Sri Lanka still want good for them but Pakistan looks more stronger that in the last match, when the game was truly winning by the team of Sri Lanka and the way Pakistan made their comeback.
Wonderful century by Salman Ali Agha and not just that the way Haris Rauf got wickets and Babar Azam catch on the slip, all is well when the Pakistan team work in unity and each player perform well in each department.
After watching first game, I am sure it's going to be again nail-biting game between both teams because Sri Lanka is good to learn from their mistakes and Pakistan always staying on their level just because of this not chances Pakistan will easily win second ODI and also win series. Pakistani top order needs to do much better, but they are always inconsistent while Sri Lanka have good batting lineup which can make things difficult for any strong bowling side from here now Pakistan needs to keep confidence in their top order, but they also needed to be had some improvement into their batting technique which is hurting them badly. Due to Islamabad incident, now things are tricky but most chances Sri Lankan team will complete their tour and cricket fans will be having good entertaining games to watch.

Reports are coming in that the ICC T20I World Cup will remain as a 20 team competition. Some administrators wanted to expand it to 24 teams, but majority wanted to keep the number at 20. So the 2026 and 2028 editions will remain as it is. Maybe they will expand to 24 teams by 2030. This is quite disappointing for the associate teams, who were pushing for an increase. Also, there are talks for a global qualifier tournament, rather than having a continent-based qualifier system.
Currently staying with 20 teams are okay because quality and performance level is having huge difference but as things are going and franchise leagues and few countries are doing their work I am expecting in near future ICC will be able to have 24 teams into ICC T20I World Cup. But, again many things needed to be done because it's never been easy to bring many countries in system which have no enough finances and structure for playing against top quality teams while few countries are able to go with adopted players but it's never been possible for all. In near future they needed to work out on just 2 formats in cricket with T20I will be expandable while test format is going to stay with same level or if needed to reduced teams because this will give more time and strength.

If a good investment medium is available, then it will not be difficult to keep a large asset of life there. However, before such an investment, the gambler must be careful and invest carefully. If there is a mistake, then he will lose all his long-term assets. Bitcoin is now the best option for investment. If an investor invests here, he will definitely benefit a lot in the long run. Although the risk of investing in Bitcoin is very low, it will certainly not be bad if someone diversifies in the investment. However, it should also be remembered that there will be risks in any type of investment. Those who take decisions after considering the risks will move forward.
No doubt bitcoin investment is good but don't you think bitcoins are already on peak as of now and this can be followed by a bear cycle? OP might loose some value for short term if he is planning to make a quick profit. OP might consider some other options like going with alts in portion but still keeping a major chunk of his investment in bitcoins. Maybe a 60-40 ratio can be good to start with as even the 40% altcoins can give OP good profits if he is able to catch the alt rally. Also investing in property seems like a good option but it depends on the country of your residence and the market value. There will be a lot of expenses when it comes to property and you also will have to pay property tax which might be something you don't really wish to do if you are just 21.

I've heard stories about people, who became millionaires overnight via memecoin trading, but lost it all because of their gambling addiction(memecoin trading is actual gambling). When you get huge profits is a very short time, you start to think that your luck and fortune will continue forever and you become extremely greedy. Maybe this guy can afford to lose lots of money and maybe he has a very high risk tolerance. Or maybe some forum members here are right and he is a fake persona. A marketing trick made by a crypto trading platform to hook more traders into leverage trading. However, this option seems unrealistic, because he lost money and his leverage positions were liquidated more than once.
If the money comes fast, it might go fast as well. It has seen very often that people who get rich quickly either turn out to loose everything eventually or start spending money on unwanted things which only results in spoiling their health. Earning money is not that easy and if we get the money that easily than we will not really understand the importance of money and will spend on unwanted things and will not even care about how much bank balance we have remaining. Usually in gambling I have seen people win millions overnight but the next day they will end up selling everything and even selling their assets just to take another risk of winning big.

It is no longer a rumor. He needs to be sacked, and Atalanta did not hesitate to do so.
It is not official. ✍🏼 Raffaele Palladino signed his contract as the new Atalanta head coach until June 2027.
This will mark a new beginning for Ademola Lookman and his career with the new coach. The way Ivan Jurić treated him is uncalled for.
That is not good for Lookman, good in the way that sure he will be treated with more respect and who wouldn't want that, but bad because he is a level of player who should be playing at a bigger better club and he is not being let go and he will have to stay until his contract ends, which I am sure he will test the market and see if any bigger clubs wants him. But this is good news for Atalanta, Juric was a terrible manager who didn't know how to have a good relationship with players, it's normal that he was let go after bad results because if you are bad at everything then why would anyone want you. I think Atalanta will do better, but not too much better, I think top 10 is the goal as always and as long as they keep staying there, it's a good consistent results.

It can be morally wrong but still a lot of people do this because who wouldn't want to get rich. At the same time, having connections with a politician can also land us in trouble from my perspective. After taking a favor from a politician we can't say them no for anything and that makes us owe him what he ask for. This can turn out to be a bad thing and get us in trouble and so I would rather earn less and stay out of trouble instead.
I can't really think of a favour they can ask us instead of a vote. They might already have what they want so the only favour they can ask will be to participate in their campaign rallies and promote them so they can get maximum votes. These politicians are hungry for votes and that is their only need because votes will give them power again. These politicians might also have some shady business but they will not ask for our favour in these shady stuffs because they already have local goons for that. It is good to have some relative into politics. That way, at least we know they will not ask for any shady favour and might still help us get things done. Yes, this is unfair though.

Fear is normal. Every traders is also experiencing this and it takes time to have a confidence, even though we already acquired that still being nervous is inevitable. The market is unpredictable and every trading parameter we used still not guaranteed as success or profits. I remember that when market stumble badly, many people are easily get scared and fear of losing the value of what they hold then they panic sell. The next morning it got back like there's nothing happened.
Fear might seem normal but overcoming fear is definitely not normal. It takes years of practice and patience before we can control fear. Fear is nothing but a start of bad decisions. Fear will make us take decisions which can ruin our portfolio and make even make us mentally unstable. Fear is never good for trading so we should try and keep fear away at least until we are trading because eventually it will affect our trade positions. It also does not mean that we can take n number of traders just because we do not fear the markets. Mental stability is very important here and one can only have profits if he has a stable mind.

So far as I'm into cryptocurrency trading, I see the red line as for example I see bitcoin chart from time to time.
From 2014 until 2025, it's always goes up ! Even when others move slow because of war trading. So better take an act, just focus on the goal that really good one.
For me it's only Bitcoin !
Even ETH has showed a good progress so we can't deny that as well. OP can definitely choose such coins which have shown good growth over time and can choose to invest only in these if he does not want slow markets. There will surely be times when these markets will also seem a bit slow but that is just a common scenario in almost every markets. None of the markets is only going to go upwards in a fast pace as it would totally redefine the way trading looks. We should be prepared for anything and slow markets is nothing but a chance to accumulate and make safer bets. For me, it would be bitcoin and ethereum though. I love both of those being top 2 coins of all times.

What happened to me was that I ended up having longer sessions than I had planned because I was winning, which is OK if you know when to stop after extending the session a little. Cutting losses is easier for me. It's better to close the session and come back another day when you're feeling fresher.
Having longer sessions is okay until and unless we make profits out of it but imagine winding up in loss only because we stayed in a session for a bit longer expecting profits. This has happened to me. I thought I would make profits so extended my sessions but at the end the results were not really good which kind of demotivated me and made me stay away from gambling for over a month. We need a fresh mindset when it comes to gambling and extending sessions will definitely not be the best suggestion to give to someone recently starting in gambling.

The year is almost over and we have seen Bitcoin’s highest ATH, and right now many are really disappointed to see its rise in the market. The prediction that Michael Saylor has made may be the opposite or it may be correct, but we think it is very unusual considering the current market situation. The Bitcoin market is already indicating that it is heading towards a decline, we are constantly disappointed to see the market breakdown whether it will rise again or go further down. But it clearly indicates that if the market goes below $100k then it will definitely go towards a decline, this is my opinion. However, the prediction that Michael Saylor has made that Bitcoin will touch $150k in 2025 may be the opposite and we can expect it in the future.
In future we can surely expect a lot of things. We can even expect bitcoins to reach $1M level in future but for mid term, I think $150k seems possible if we stay above $100k. If we go below $100k, people will start selling bitcoins and it will crash the price as we have seen in the past. We might even touch $50k again if the selling continues before seeing another rise. Below $100k, there will be a lot of selling pressure because people are now prepared to see bitcoin's value in 6 digits. Going back to 5 digits is going to create psychological pressure which will not be good but we should still be prepared for it.

Both precious metals like and cryptocurrencies have certain cycles. If you want a longterm investment, it makes sense to hold some amount of both gold and silver as well as major crypto assets like ETH and BTC. But if you’re thinking shortterm you need to follow the cycles of them very carefully.
Cryptos does have cycles but I am not really sure about metals like gold and silver having any cycles. Their value depends on the availability which is scarce in nature. Even though we mine more and more gold, the price still keeps on inflating as the demand rises even if there is a stable supply. There will be a time when gold will no longer be mineable as there will be none available and after that period, the value for gold will keep on rising rapidly. This is almost the same with bitcoins as well. Once all 21M bitcoins are mined, the value will keep on rising as the demand goes higher. That's the reason why bitcoins and gold are my favourite when it comes to investments and I will just multiply my investments in future.

I believe it is natural evolutionary changes that are occurring even with the paper currencies. There was once a time that was nothing like a currency . People only did the batter kind of trading, Exchanging goods and services with each other and life was still going smoothly. Even after that era we had cowries and coins before the currency was introduced for use. So i believe that it would also be outdated and not in any form of demand and normal life would still go on without the hard currencies.
That’s right, and there’ll also come a time where even the digital currency that’s in the limelight now might be replaced with another currency. The world is fast evolving and so is technological advancements, maybe not in this generation, maybe in the next generations to come, but if there’s one thing I know, the world will always keep advancing, and so will the agents that makes life pretty much easier, like money, technology and infrastructures and other things. Digital money seems much convenient for me and I would not really like to see any more advancements when it comes to money. Digitally being able to use money might have seemed impossible in the late 90's but now it is just a few clicks away. Maybe in future we might get some chips embedded in our arm which can be used to store and use money just by scanning the chip. This does seem a lot advanced but might be possible. Advancements are going next level and people are making unbelievable innovations. I wonder where we will be after another 50 years. There will be flying cars, multi-billion skyscrapers in every corner, etc. I wonder what shape money will be in those times?

Every time the Halving season occurs, the Sklus continues to change from the previous one. Halving experts estimate that there will be a very significant wave or spike in prices. It is not certain that the next halving will reach $150-$200 thousand, Bitcoin has only risen 31% since the 2024 halving, in contrast to the 436% increase in the same period in the previous cycle. So we can be sure that the price will not go too far and will remain in the range of $200 and below. Prices will be threatened if there is disruption to the global economy like now, all the charts are out of line.
I still think there will at least be a 20% price movement when it comes to halving. Halving always drives growth and more people start joining bitcoins just because they know in past halving has given great profits to new investors specially. If people continue joining bitcoins than we might see some growth and 20% seems possible near halving but things might even go haywire as already maximum people have joined bitcoins and they do not really expect something big coming around halving. Are you saying the price might remain in the range of $200k? You just said $200 which can be misleading. But if you mean $200k than yes, it might really be good for the markets as it is almost a 100% growth from what we are now. To be real, I do not think we can see this big growth though.

It depends on the country, for example, cryptocurrency is not legal in my country. Now, since cryptocurrency is not legal in my country, I usually cannot discuss cryptocurrency from any place. Especially in a tea shop where all kinds of people gather, there will be no logic in discussing cryptocurrency because not everyone understands cryptocurrency. If it is discussed there, it will seem annoying to everyone and may even cause trouble for you. So I do not support discussing cryptocurrency in a tea shop at all.
There will still be supporters even though cryptocurrency is illegal in your country and you might still find like minded people to talk to. not everyone will be interested but once you find one, you can spend hours in conversations talking about cryptocurrencies. We mostly do not spend that much time mostly in tea stalls. We will just walk in, have a cup of tea and leave in maybe 5 or 10 minutes so we do not have that much time to really talk about anything. Yes, there are people who will be sitting at the tea stall for hours but that's maybe because they do not have any other better job. We value time and I would personally not spend that much time in a tea stall.

Sorry but I am not willing to use AI to select bets for me when there is money involved. AI is obviously an emerging, tech phenomenon but it has flaws and is not going to reliably provide you with an edge to make money. Maybe you can use it to look for a platform with the best odds or favourites but not to make actual decisions for you.
Each man made creation must have their own flaws, and that is why there is a person that needs to maintain them. Even us has our own flaws too but if we think we can not improve anymore and our winning rate is only less than 65% as what is stated here about the AI's, then that only shows that we can have a good chance of winning using the AI's. You are right when you say that there is no reliability about these AI's but that is because their winning rates are only 65% and not 100%, however I don't think there is a 100% winning rate either. If so, then that is not what you call as gambling anymore. That is cheating already and not recommended.

what exactly is going on? Are we witnessing a financial revolution or is crypto slowly being incorporated into the same system it wanted to replace?
Cryptos is never going to replace our traditional system instead what I believe is it will be incorporated in the same system which will make the system more efficient and trust-worthy. Cryptos are an individual financial tool which does not need any intermediary from such financial institutions. Cryptos can survive without them as well but there is a lot of benefit for these financial institutions if they adopt cryptos into their system so they themselves will find ways to correlate with cryptos instead of treating them as an opponent. Cryptos are basically meant to be an investment tool which can make investments more transparent and profitable. They do have some payment integrating functionalities but that is still not the core feature.

This is part of the reason why bitcoin was introduced, so that the people can have what to fall back on as an alternative to the steady fall in value of fiat currency, this does not limit to the African region alone, but a global phenomenal and impact targeted at everyone who is willing to adopt having an alternative digital currency to fiat currency controlled by the government, inflation is not something to toiled with in financial economy.
As we can notice, there is a limitation on the supply of BTC, so you might be right with that. If BTC is not invented, we still have gold and others. We know that BTC adoption is wide now but the countries which local currency are suffering may not be too much in number. Africa must be one of it, so it is justifiable that they can have a special mention. Inflation is still an issue even though there is now a fix for it, and then hedging is not easy as it seems, plus not all are aware with the fix. So inflation is something that will always toil or hunt them and the solution must be adapting bitcoin. Bitcoin will definitely help them to beat inflation. Countries with weak currencies are always candidate of adapting US dollars but bitcoin must be superior than bitcoin, so against weak local currencies, bitcoin must be a right solution.

Every trader starts believing they can control outcomes. I used to think I could manage losses or time reversals. But control ends at execution. After that, the market decides.
Now, I focus on what’s mine entries, stops, mindset. Letting go gave me more control than clinging ever did.
Freedom beats false control. Do you manage risk or chase control?
Isn't it true that many of our fellow members here on the forum platform also give reminders about Risk Management? Which is, if we manage the risk properly, we're sure we won't experience what's called chasing losses. And of course, we can do this if we have proper use of our self-control, which should become a habit for investors and other communities in this crypto space field that we're part of here. Self control will be one of the key player but we can't just rely on it. Along with self control, we also need a strong analysis in place along with risk management and a combination of all will make us earn profits out of trading. Or else we will simply keep on losing while gaining knowledge. In trading, even losses will make us gain something, which will be knowledge and experience in this scenario. We will at least know what needs to be avoided in order to make a living out of trading. Every investor has a mindset of making money but only a few prepare themselves for what's coming next. Expecting profits always will just crush our feelings and will demotivate us which will impact our further trading. That's the reason why we should keep our emotions away while trading.
