1201  Economy / Economics / Re: What is your personal debt reduction method aside the debt snowball method? on: June 09, 2023, 03:20:25 PM
Just small grind basically. Do not rush to finish it, try to make it as long as possible, it is better to pay 100 dollars for 120 months than 1000 dollars for 12 months, that is how you should be approaching it. Sure there could be interest changes between the two that's true but I would say even if you talk about paying 5 dollars more, which is a lot of interest change on 120 months, it would still be better and I would still do that.

Because by the time that 120 month one is over, 100 dollars will worth a lot less, without question, the devaluation of dollar is here and it is not going away. Just do small per month debts and that way you are going to be doing a lot better, I do that, I have a ton of debt, a million things I bought, all small by small and for long term.
1202  Economy / Economics / Re: China reopening was a flop, if we're heading to deflation, what about Bitcoin? on: June 09, 2023, 02:10:12 PM
I think it is quite important that we need to reconsider when we hear the word "china", because whatever they do, they are not going to end up with anything that helps crypto in the slightest. I think it should be noted that we are talking about a nation that is a dictatorship, and crypto is a decentralized currency, which means that as long as bitcoin stays decentralized, china will always hate it because they can't control it.

There could be some coins that they create, and it will look like some regular Chinese person created it and not the government, but the government will be right behind them. Same happened with Alibaba and Jack Ma, dude was gone for so long and he was punished for being so freely spoken. It is vital to remember it is a dictatorship, that is very important.
1203  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: what happened to the market today? on: June 09, 2023, 01:09:42 PM
Trying to make crypto bleed is something SEC tries to do sometimes, it has tried to do it during the bull run as well but we didn't really care about it and that's why it didn't stay that long. It had a huge fight with USDT people and fined them millions and millions of dollars (nearly 20 million if I am not wrong) and if that were to happen today it would have crashed the market a lot, a ton of people would sell their USDT and get out, which would cause some discrapency in the price and not peg it to 1 dollars for a while until arbitrage makes it go back up again.

But, since that was the bull period nobody cared, and same with XPR at the time as well, and people just didn't buy xrp but continued to go up with others. So, it mattered only because we weren't at a bull period.
1204  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Promising Crypto Coins Expected to Make It to the Top 100 on CoinMarketCap on: June 09, 2023, 03:31:50 AM
ARB was the shining north star of the bear period and that's why it was liked that much. Too many people saw that it went up like crazy during one of the coldest bear market in recent memory so they have a great feeling towards it. This doesn't mean that it will be great in the future or terrible, this doesn't say anything about its future, but that doesn't change the fact that it is not going to change much.

This is why I believe that there will be a lot of people who will like it and buy it and hold it. That's a good base, that doesn't mean that it should be a big deal, it could become a good thing or not based on what happens in the future but it does have a good foundation to build from and that may help it a lot. I sure feel like it will be a lovely thing to watch.
1205  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: AI Coins Speculation on: June 09, 2023, 02:23:41 AM
My speculation is that it will not be a big deal. There aren't any serious coders who are working on AI coin, all the people who can actually do something with AI are people who are working on AI, not anything else, not a coin, not new stuff.

There will be a ton of AI in the name of the coins but none of them will have anything related to artificial at all, the only thing artificial about them is their name. This is why they will all be a scam and you should stay away from it. I know that it is not that easy to find something that is worthy to invest these days, specially among the new things, but that doesn't mean that we should be doing anything that would be serious level, it should end up with nothing at all if you only find bad ones.
1206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever felt remorse after gambling? on: June 09, 2023, 01:58:38 AM
Just once, I had it so terribly because it was the first ever money I earned and then I lost it on gambling and I swore off gambling for a long time after that, didn't gamble for god knows how long. When I came back, I had that in mind and I knew that gambling is a net loss and there is no winning here.

Doesn't mean that every single time you gamble you will end up with a loss, I had those crazy 100x or more returns as well, definitely was a fun feeling when I won that but even then I knew that I will not be earning anything from it and the long run I will lose at least that much as long as I kept on trying. This is why I ended up limiting my budget very well and I do not end up gambling excess amount, no need to risk anything for something I know I am going to lose.
1207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: June 08, 2023, 06:06:21 PM
I am not sure who else Real could get, but focusing too much on midfield which is already decent enough is not the way to go. First of all they always needed a striker, that season Benzema had which won him ballon d'or made them suspicious about getting one but they need one without a doubt.

Since we are talking about Real here, they can't just get a decent player, they need a big name, not sure how big of a name they will get, not like they will get Mbappe, but I bet that they are going to get someone very special without a doubt. They have no other choice, they have to get one and that will be a very important situation. If they can get a good one then they are going to be good, if not then they are going to be a pretty boring team again.
1208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Conference League 2022/23 Season on: June 08, 2023, 05:22:30 PM
Fiorentina definitely put it all on the floor, they were the team that played the hardest and they deserved a win without a doubt. But just like mourinho said, they can take the ball to home if they want to, he prefers the three points. This is the same logic but instead it's the cup, Fiorentina played as well as they can, and definitely did something marvellous by being at the finals as well but if you can't score more than the other team then you are not going to win anything.

Most people focused on who played better, but that doesn't mean anything, if one team shot 30 times and the other once but the one that shot once ended up winning 1-0 that's all that matters. This is why it's quite important to just win, that's it, nothing else matters.
1209  Economy / Economics / Re: SEC is in Action After Suing Binance, Here Comes Coinbase Exchange on: June 08, 2023, 04:32:32 PM
If you read the news, it's not about the exchange being exchange and doing anything exchange related, that was always the case and they let it be and it even went public that way, there is nothing wrong with that. They are trying to see what they list and why they list what they list, that's the point.

However, I do believe that we are talking about something that was a bigger deal when we are talking about a financial situation that worked better, and that is listing new tokens and such. These tokens have "owners", bitcoin doesn't have any, we are all owners of bitcoin, but some that these exchange list have owners and that makes it a security so listing a security is a trouble. That's what SEC is looking into, worst case worst, these exchanges won't list anything without getting greenlight from SEC after this.
1210  Economy / Economics / Re: Twitter ad sales down 59%, company valuation down 66% on: June 07, 2023, 03:44:31 PM
Shareholders of tesla or spacex can't be unhappy because he can't use directly their money, he would have to either sell his shares to get that money, or he would be paid basically, in all cases the money is his, he could buy worlds biggest building, or he could spend it on twitter, it's his choice.

However, I agree that him leaving makes more sense, he could just sell to someone else and that person could make it a lot more interesting once again. He had some ideas about what he will do with twitter when he gets it, he did those, and people disliked it so there is no turning back from that. If his ideas were to be liked then he would have been able to make a good amount of money from it, but they weren't so there is no reason why he should keep running it.
1211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: June 07, 2023, 03:31:00 PM
I get that fans did not get what they wanted out of Messi, but to boo him? After his last game at the club? I mean I am 100% sure that if he said he is staying then they wouldn't boo him at all, they did that because he is leaving without any achievement, but to put all of that onto just one player is silly. This dude played with 16 goals and 16 assists this season, have we seen that from all other players?

Let's see who they will get next season instead of him, and I bet that the new one will not provide that much neither. They did him injustice and that's such a big shame, I am sure that this is going to be a warning to other players not to go there. If I were a star, even if PSG offered me a lot, I may refrain from going there due to the fans.
1212  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: One or more trading strategies, which one do you prefer? on: June 07, 2023, 03:49:45 AM
I think more is the true answer because we are talking about a lot of different market situations which means that we are not going to see them all do the right thing at the right time. If you have just one strategy that means that it will work maybe in one market but that will not work at every single situation, like a thing that works well at bull doesn't mean it will work at bear neither and just because it works at bear doesn't mean it will work at bull neither.

You should be ready for everything and that's the thing that keeps people at night, they keep with just a single strategy and they make a mistake. I prefer more strategies and just use whichever one fits the market a lot more, that way you are going to end up with a lot better result eventually for sure.
1213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: June 06, 2023, 08:36:04 PM
France definitely looks as dominant as it gets, and to be fair we are talking about a team that has stars that are under 25 years old, some players like Griezmann, Grioud, Kante might be getting older, but there are still a lot of players who are amazingly talented at this point and that's why I do not think that they will be any bad anytime.

To be fair that doesn't guarantee that they will win, they may end up losing as well but they are definitely a good team without a doubt. Not only this world cup, but they will be good at 2030 as well, they are that good. Which is why I would say they are one of the biggest candidates for 2026 as well, but I think at 2030 it will be their biggest prime and could be soooo much better.
1214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: June 06, 2023, 08:09:49 PM
I am pretty sure that Vardy is not leaving due to that amazing championship year. I still can't forget that they won the title, I mean it is such an impossible story and I love it, I bet that there will be a huge huge worldwide docuseries about it will be shot one day, I mean some was already made but none that was at a huge amazon studies type of level yet if I remember right, if there is one I would love to see it.

But between Vardy's life story and Leicester and ownership and all that together, when you consider what they have managed to achieve that year was unreal, I would say near impossible, hell I would have said impossible before that season started. So it is not easy to let him go, he would probably stay there until he retires.
1215  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: There are a lot of scams on Twitter, and illegal links steal your assets. on: June 06, 2023, 04:25:02 AM
Leaving all "I am Elon Musk I am distributing money to everyone!" obvious scams (at which point they made half a million dollars before people got wise), I could easily say that it is not going to stop because they are getting better and better at hiding it.

You know which scams are the worst? The ones that are like a company, you may not fall for a person trying to trick you, but if they build a company with great SEO and amazing marketing and even tv ads etc etc, if you start seeing them everywhere, you will think that it is just another project, and maybe you won't invest into another new project that's normal, but there will be a lot of people who fall for it, whereas they will be just another scam, they call it "rugpull" instead.
1216  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to draw the attention of the market if you're a good project?? on: June 06, 2023, 03:05:52 AM
Why people think marketing is not enough? I mean if you distribute tokens then maybe it will not be enough because tokens are free and people do not trust that it will have any value, but if you distribute regular money, spend it on banner ads, then influencers, then famous websites, then give money away on cmc type places, basically spend money on marketing then you will be very famous very quickly.

In my observation, projects that spent 1 million dollars at the very start and they are in top 10 now, or maybe just a bit out, that was all they needed. I know another place that spent 700k, that was their initial budget they spent a lot more later on, and they are in top 30-40 right now. Obviously if you spend money, you are going to get a lot more famous and people will invest in that project.
1217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: $90,000 all in bet on: June 05, 2023, 07:08:15 PM
I agree, this was one of the worst decisions ever to bet this much one a single game and it turned out to be a wrong one. But people are forgetting that he was the one who claimed that he turned 4k into 90k as well, which means that he understands this game and it was not really all that far away from this bet being a win neither, one more shot going in means he has 180k instead.

All in all if he was capable of turning 4k into 90k then I am guessing that he will be capable of getting another win streak like that and turn whatever he has left into profit as well. I am hoping he would do that because I do not want to see anyone losing all this much all at once. I get smaller losses that doesn't hurt your life, but this is huge money whoever you are, wherever you live.
1218  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 12 years of a Legendary post on: June 05, 2023, 06:53:33 PM
I do not think that we would be wrong to say that it's still true today. I am not saying lets all buy as much as we can and have 10 bitcoins, we can't all afford that, I certainly can't, I do not even have 1 bitcoin let alone 10, even 0.1 would be very tough for me at this point and can't get it, but I may "aim" at 0.1, that would literally be my goal.

On the other hand, I would highly suggest getting more and more bitcoin is still the right decision, if you could retire with 1 bitcoin, that would be enough to wealthy when you retire and that's why it's so important, I think people should be still buying up as many bitcoins as they can, or satoshis, based on how much money they have. It will stay a good idea until we die, it will be a good investment compared to all others.
1219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: June 05, 2023, 06:15:23 PM
Osimhen leaving the club is not really that much of a shock, he has been linked with United for nearly the whole season and if they can actually afford to get him then he would be an amazing transfer for them. I am not saying United will get him, maybe they will fail, maybe they can't afford him, I do not know what's going to happen, hell there are talks about United being sold as well so we need to just first wait and see.

However, if we start to consider what he can do at other clubs, it's easy to see that he needs to leave first and it's going to be a great deal, Napoli can't afford to keep him forever, either they will sell him now or he is going to leave when his contract is up, so it's better to sell him and they may make as much as 100 million to be fair.
1220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: June 05, 2023, 05:50:31 PM
ATM has been given so many chances to be the second team this season and they have failed to take that so many times. I mean Dortmund has been given more and failed, but no other team has been given this much, maybe Lens if you look at it from that point of view.

Real was very lucky that ATM failed to win as well, they should have been third this season if we have to be honest and they totally deserved to lose, but they didn't end up being third all because ATM failed to win some games. In any case, we are going to see a more upset Vini due to racsim, no Benzema, older kroos and modric, lets see how they will be next season. We are at a stage where Madrid is finally going into rebuilding phase and it is going to be quite tough, they will have to change so much.
