Halving is a historical event that a lot of crypto enthusiasts look forward to so it is quite impossible that op did not manage to at least encounter one post whether here in forum or in social media about it.
Personally if there is something I encounter that I am not very familiar with, I will go research further about it instead of believing whatever I already had made up on my mind especially if it concerned my money.
I'm not saying or implying that the OP didn't see any posts regarding the halving; quite the opposite. The OP likely anticipated a great price pump due to the increased posts found on the forum and pretty much everywhere on the internet, which likely resulted in his confusion. I don't blame the OP for not knowing any better; he's a newbie and is likely to have limited knowledge. It must be frustrating to see so much publicity only to see its price crash below $58,000 shortly after. Someone who's more experienced sees it as an opportunity; others, however, see it as a threat. |

That means you staked around 4 BNB to farm Rez. I also farmed it. Well, for me, I won't say it was disappointing because I didn't expect it to worth much. Once I see so much tokens allocated for launchpad for farmers, I do a mental calculation after day one to have a vague idea of what I should be getting at the end. Anyway, I don't concern myself with what price is upon any listing. I've never bothered with that because I don't intend to sell any token from Binance launchpad yet until the bull rally gets to its height.
One thing I've come to observe is that Binance now has more launchpads at short intervals unlike when CZ was running the exchange.
A little more than 0.85 BNB and $3,500 in FDUSD, to be exact. Well, I also speculate on how much I'm going to earn, judging by how many coins I accumulate, what some prediction claims according to the coin's presale, etc., and judging by how much I've earned on average from each launchpool. My average ranges from $30 to $40 per project, while it can go up to $100 on rare occasions, but it's extremely rare to earn less than $10. I've sold the majority of my coins earned from Launchpool, some immediately and some during bull market periods, and I'm generally satisfied with the returns. I'm now holding the latest ones, hoping for another major pump. And that's true; I even remember a statement from Binance's new CEO regarding new tokens and the launchpad platform itself. |

Renzo Protocol (REZ) is probably the most disappointing Binance Launchpool I've experienced so far. It was listed today at 12:00 UTC with a starting price of $0.30 per coin, which immediately crashed to $0.20. Predictions were circulating that it would launch with a starting price of approximately $0.80 to $1, but these expectations fell through by a lot. The 46 coins I acquired through farming are less than $10 worth, and this is probably the first time I've experienced such a floppy launch. I'll hold these coins for a while, hoping for the best, but the few last projects haven't gone as smoothly as I was used to, leaving me with coins that have lost more than 50% of their value.

Well, didn't you check the fee before proceeding with the transaction? There's no way you couldn't have noticed it, so that's on you. The first hours had excessive fees but returned to normal shortly after. As other users have already mentioned, the halving event is an integral part of Bitcoin, happening every 4 years. There was nothing extraordinary going on with this particular halving event. You're a newbie and possibly didn't know, and it's also understandable because everyone keeps mentioning the halving, and it's reasonable to believe that it's suddenly going to surpass its ATH, but it doesn't work that way.

Oh well, that sucks big time. Don't get discouraged though, there are still reasonable chances to successfully recover your friend's files. As the previous poster already mentioned, formatting your hard drive doesn't fully delete your files, your files are permanantely deleted when they're overwritten by other files. I personally was successful recovering photos and videos over 5 years old with Recuva, I'd suggest you to at least attempt it with a deep scan. If that fails, I'd recommend going to a professional, even though I'm not quite sure how differently they can act.

Halving bring enthusiasm for Bitcoin and not posting on the forum, if there's anything we should be doing during that time is making our plans in preparation for the aftermath of the halving. Lets take a chill pill and look at things from a different point of observation because I know we're always quick to point fingers at some things that we feel are reasons for less activities on the forum but lets not forget that people have a life outside the forum and some times life outside might be the reason for the less activity on the forum.
People are suffering from different things that might make them to not be available for posting. I myself haven't been as active as I use to be because I'm having some life challenges and I believe others might be facing similar issues. When there's reductions in post activity it could be because of things like this and looking at some accounts that used to be very active on the forum are no more so obviously there has to be reduction in post quantity on the forum.
We too need to look at the fact that the bounty/signature campaigns aren't as motivating as they use to be to those that need it to get motivated to post on the forum and the other reasons that have been mentioned here that I don't have e to repeat are also contributing factors. But still we are having a very decent amount of engagement on the forum to keep it alive so I think we're good, the activity will.come back up later eventually.
Halving brings ethusiasm and ethusiasm is attracting new members. At least from what I've noticed, during every bull run, especially one after halving, you'll notice more and more posts regarding Bitcoin's price and generic speculation ones from brand new and newbie accounts. Even I returned to the forum after the halving of 2020 and the upcoming bull run that pumped Bitcoin's price back to $20,000 after many years. I believe this is the reason the OP is correlating the halving with posts per month. I also remember the forum being more active in 2017, especially in terms of signature campaigns, but the content wasn't as good as it is now. Keep in mind that the merit system wasn't introduced yet, and there was a large amount of gibberish due to them being able to participate even in low-paying campaigns. Generally, even with Bitcoin's new ATH and high price of over $60,000, I believe that this isn't the best period for a large number of us due to certain circumstances in our daily lives, which is the main reason I'm not as active as I used to be a few months ago. |

You would really be able to expect when it comes to this manner on which you would really be able to see those kinds of generic suggestions but you cant blame them if they would really be giving Bitcoin advises.
You cant blame them because when it comes to long term then this is something that will really give out that kind of worthy long wait but of course it will really be that depending on the entry point.
On the time that you are really just that starting with this market and see out your money that decreasing then you would really definitely be having that kind of impression that it might be going to zero.
This is where you would really be cutting your losses on which it would really be that a waste on having that kind of approach.
Its always important on having that consideration that emotion is something that you will be needing to control but since you are noob then lacking of experience
will really be something giving out a toll for you. Mental state would really be strengthen on the time that you would be getting that kind of experience which its a normal condition.
You would really be able to get yourself having that kind of grasps if you are really that preparation.
Well, acquiring Bitcoin and DCA aren't bad suggestions, but they are indeed generic ones. I mean, the majority of users here who're giving out advice don't take into account how much someone can take mentally, nor can you blame someone for panicking during a market crash, you aren't to blame for someone else's inability to keep their cool during bear markets. I believe we've all experienced such crashes, and while now we may have a completely different approach, as newbies, it was perfectly reasonable to feel frustrated. Having a cut-loss strategy like you mentioned is essential, especially when dealing with altcoins or actively trading, and this is what most of us fail to do because it's unfortunate to deal with a loss if we fail to put a stop to it when it's at least early. |

Many people are ignoring and ignoring this golden rule and this is happening most especially in the cryptocurrency market. Many people naively think that bitcoin is a low-risk, but high-reward investment and they invest everything they have in bitcoin. They even think that saving is a waste, they like to invest it all in bitcoin and think that it will make them rich in the upcoming bull season.
There is no denying the potential of bitcoin, but it seems many people are becoming too delusional when relying on stories of getting rich by buying bitcoin 10 years ago. And they are blinded by greed without knowing that the risks they face are not small.
That's a great point, and it can actually be seen in this forum quite a lot. When you see newbies's questions on what coin or where to invest, you'll see the generic advice to buy Bitcoin, DCA, and so on, and honestly, I agree. Bitcoin has proven it's a relatively safe investment; however, as expected, it also has its ups and downs. It was a little more than a year ago that Bitcoin had plummeted below $20,000; someone who has gone all-in on Bitcoin because they thought it was a panacea is going to have serious issues keeping their cool. Unfortunately, we often overlook how important mental health is and the strain financial troubles cause, and investing is no different. I personally suffered it when attempting trading during the second COVID-19 quarantine; it's a subject that is not often discussed on the forum as well. |

In the past, I tried looking for a blocker plugin that best suits smartphones today but it's not easy if it's an application they are installing. An example is Facebook, there's really no way to block those advertisements because they are part of the video that was created by the streamers. Sure, we can do the blockers in the web browsers but not many kids use those anymore. They always rely on newer applications that would best serve their interest. TikTok is another example that is so hard to prevent or filter the better clips for kids. Youtube found a way by creating Youtube kids but when they grow up, they think it's only for babies.  Filtered internet becomes a problem for us adults especially if we have websites that needs access for our jobs and then you will just find out that it's affected by the blocker. That's right, Facebook is filled with paid advertisements that you cannot block, and sometimes they're malicious as well, and it's not just Facebook but other platforms, like Instagram and especially TikTok. The latter is filled with so-called influencers who are promoting Ponzis, pyramid schemes, fake signal groups, and sports predictions. It's really frustrating because I haven't seen any proper action taken against them in order to effectively protect their users. I've never fallen victim to their scams, but someone who isn't as knowledgeable about technology can easily be tricked, and filtering such advertisements isn't possible. |

I haven't really bothered with most features in casinos; I'm all in for the bare minimum when it comes to gambling. I just want to hop on, play, and be done with it. Although I believe that any extras, such as blogs, articles, forum additions, or a global live chat, are nice additions that create a positive community feeling and approach, they aren't a priority of mine. I already have this forum as a means of socializing and communicating for gambling purposes, and I don't need another one to spend even more time on. I'm perfectly satisfied with just the gambling part of the casino.

Everyone has their own ways and strategies for making investments. This is not the first time I've heard someone saying they are not buying because the price is too high because they make investments only when the price is very low like when it is in the bear market. After all, that provides better profits in the long run.
People who think differently wouldn't like this strategy because even if you buy at a higher price, as long as you know that the market has a higher possibility of going up than going down, you can still make some profit, and as we know we are expecting a bull run in the next couple of years, so making investments right now might not be a bad idea but as I said, it depends on someone's mindset and how they see the market and how they want to make their investments.
For me, if I have the funds, I wouldn't mind buying some Bitcoin even if it's high because I'm optimistic that the price will go up in the next few months.
That's understandable, and it's why I've explained on another thread that the DCA principle isn't always ideal or foolproof. However, at the point we're at right now, I can't imagine how low Bitcoin could possibly go unless something completely unexpected changes the flow of events. The bear market is the ideal period to accumulate Bitcoin. I remember getting paid as much as 3 mBTC per week from signature campaigns due to the lower value. That period was a huge boost for my Bitcoin acquisition. However, I doubt that we'll ever see such price levels again. With that being said, I'd still consider distributing some money in Bitcoin as well, provided that I have the budget to do so. |

About Bitcoin, I've put a stop to its investment since last year, and as an investor of many years in the field of the financial market, it is not advisable to continue to buy an asset at a high level, it is always detrimental, especially if something unforeseen happens at that unattractive level. Needless to say, the expected value is no more worth the risk since there is no way one will make 3 times their investment in Bitcoin in this bull season again, so why still risk it even as we are not yet sure if 2 times the increase is still certain in this bull run.
A lot of questions are being asked at this point, and if care is not taken, one may make regrettable mistakes by believing that Bitcoin will always behave the way it did in the past. I started my Bitcoin investment in 2020 and I was committed to pumping it every week then, so I've had enough and with what I've gained so far, there is no way I can miss out on this world cake anymore. My focus is on altcoins now and it has been so nice for me, and I am sure when the altcoins season comes as usual, it will be a very good testimony by then.
There is nothing wrong with diversifying.
So, let me get this straight: you're no longer investing in Bitcoin because its value is too high at the moment? I understand your point, and there's certainly nothing wrong with diversifying and opting for other investments as well, but doesn't that work against the principle of DCA, something that is commonly promoted on the forum and advised by many members to newer ones, as a safe-ish way to invest in Bitcoin? I'm personally not into altcoins for long-term holding, although I've made some reasonable returns on a short-term basis, but I understand your point. Despite that, you're still earning Bitcoin through signature campaigns, so unless you're using these funds elsewhere, you're practically investing in both simultaneously. |

And again, no one can control when someone has fallen into an addict.
If honest and open with gambling activities carried out to couples, there will still be those who care when gambling has exceeded reasonable limits.
After all, why lie and hide the activities carried out against people who really should know.
To be honest, I believe that we are able to control more than we're taking responsibility for. You can't directly control if you're becoming an addict, but it's practically impossible not to acknowledge that you have a gambling problem. Unfortunately, gambling is perceived as something negative, even when it's conducted with specific boundaries, which is probably one of the reasons some prefer to hide it. There's no excuse in hiding such things from your partner though, you're only hurting your relationship in the long-term. |

I understand your point completely, sometimes in oder to avoid too much explanations that will arise from telling the truth because sometimes they may not be able to understand completely the truth the way it is especially when it has to do with gambling like this, sometimes people just like the reddit guy will just hide to even avoid bringing to the knowledge of others about their gambling habits so they don't get t o lie or even defend a truth that's been told. Sometimes these are just mechanism to help them still maintain their relationships which they still find very important to them away from gambling so in other to protect it they keep the drama away.
I think it will be even more helpful if it can be spoken about with their patterns probably in a way that you get them to understand that you gat it in control and it wouldn't be detrimental to the family because most times the fear of the effects of gambling to the family could be reasons why some patterns will want to condemned and criticize the habit.
I'm a straightforward person and prefer to be honest about my beliefs; if you're asking my opinion, you'd be expecting my actual view, not a lie that won't hurt your feelings. However, some subjects are a little controversial, such as gambling or cryptocurrency investments, where telling a few white lies is far easier and more convenient than explaining the whole situation, which is usually something that I prefer not doing. Lying inside a relationship for petty stuff, such as your desire to gamble, is setting your relationship on the wrong foot, and even you see it as something negative because it's likely that you're addicted and have to hide, not only from your partner but from yourself as well. |

Inflation is necessary to maintain a healthy & stable economy. It encourages spending & investment by reducing the value of money over time. This stimulates economic growth & prevents stagnation. Inflation also allows for adjustments in wages & prices ensuring that they remain in line with changing market conditions. A moderate level of inflation can help to reduce the burden of debt & encourage borrowing which can be beneficial for individuals & businesses. Excessive inflation though can be detrimental leading to uncertainty & erosion of purchasing power. It’s important to strike a balance & maintain controlled inflation. We are here on a Bitcoin forum though, we know the antidote for inflation & loss of purchasing power, i.e. buy Bitcoin.
I think this is the best definition given in this thread so far! As someone who has studied economics and the principles of inflation, I can confirm that a minor increase of 1% to 2% per year is healthy and contributes to the economy, showing signs of growth. People, including the OP in this case, are often portraying inflation as something negative; this is true when it gets out of hand. The economy became stagnant during COVID-19 due to quarantine measures and was then abruptly met with increasing energy prices that occurred before the Ukrainian-RRussian war broke out. It quickly became a vicious cycle, and inflation has now tremendously increased while salaries have seen no major improvement. |

Nope- I do not think I have lied with anything related to gambling as I am very open with anyone who asks me about my experiences.
When I used to gamble, I actually tell everything to my friends and family so that they would know my experience. Even if I experience something that is negative, I always tell them the truth since I believe that they deserve to know everything. Not to mention, by telling my experiences, they could also discern and decide whether they want to try gambling or not.
On the story that you provided OP, it was painful for me to read it. I think our partners deserve to know everything even if it is something that could affect the overall relationship. If you lie on the small things, that could escalate and create a snowball effect into something bigger- a lie that can transcend into different small lies that would eventually evolve into a bigger problem in the future.
You could possibly say that such a lie could be deemed a white lie—those insignificant ones that we say to avoid hurting others or because the truth is more complicated to explain. Although I also believe that it's best to be open and straightforward, lying can put you in difficult situations if you're caught, because eventually you will be. However, this isn't the worst part; I find it extremely saddening that the favorite part of the person in the Reddit post is to hide in the toilet in order to gamble, or generally speaking, to be forced to hide what you're doing. |

You are not wrong, but at the same time how many people that invest in altcoins actually know what they are doing? If a person is an expert trader, without a doubt it would be a mistake to not take advantage of the opportunities they have right in front of them.
But the majority of those that invest in altcoins are not expert traders and instead they are noobs that cannot distinguish a scam from a good project, and people like that should concentrate on just finding the best coin they can and hold it for as long as they can.
To be honest, I'm not quite sure if there's such a thing as an expert. Altcoins—not talking about Ethereum or Solana, etc.—but those new ones that are popping up every single day are a pure gamble. It's all a matter of preference. Until recently, with Binance's Launchpool projects, I was never involved with altcoins and preferred the steady growth of Bitcoin. However, these new tokens yielded decent returns within a very short timeframe, and it was intriguing to say the least.They're either good or bad investment strategies; they're hit or miss. If you're up for the challenge, then they may be worth a try. Ultimately, I still prefer being patient, such as I've done with Bitcoin, I've more than doubled my investment's value within a period of less than three years. |

Very true, now AEK is leading with a 4 point difference and only 3 matches for them to go. The hopes other teams have for the first place have become slim. It was also surprising to see Olympiakos not winning against Aris. Congrats for Aris being able to put up such a fight but I just wonder, how's Olympiakos going to contest Aston Villa later in the conference league final four if they can't even get a win from Aris on the local league? Best of luck to Olympiakos because they'll need it hehe...
Well anyway, for the next matchday I think a reasonable bet would be the over 1.75 on PAOK vs AEK.
Looking over their head to head history, most of their matches had at least 2 goals scored, so I think the odds are also not that bad.
It's crazy that PAOK would get a draw against Lamia. They really shot themselves on the foot with this one, slashing their chances to earn the title this year to nearly 0.
That's true. I had higher expectations from both matches, but they fell short. It was really unexpected and quite frustrating, to be honest. Anyway, we're not going to give up on two lost bets; this weekend has a few decent opportunities. Olympiakos vs. Lamia is probably a guaranteed win, but I'm not expecting the best odds from them. Asteras Tripolis vs. OFI is another one I might opt for; it'd be kind of frustrating to lose this match as well, while PAOK vs. AEK and Panathinaikos vs. AEK are going to be interesting ones. I'm expecting AEK to win over PAOK and Panathinaikos to win against Aris, which is on a losing streak for the last 4 or 5 matches.  |

I'm not sure if that counts, but I was never into sports; I'd never watch a football match, except for special occasions such as the finals of the European Super League and when my country was playing. In simple words, I was never interested in or intrigued by football. After I became involved with casinos and gambling, I acknowledged the money-making opportunities I'd open by participating in sports betting, and I don't regret it. Now, I occasionally watch football, at least once or twice per week, mostly on Sundays that I have my day off, while I've made a reasonable amount of money through bets.

To be honest, I don't find that too big of a deal. On the one hand, I understand what the OP is mentioning: these streamers are sometimes affiliated with the casinos and often promote unhealthy gambling habits and unrealistic expectations. On the other hand, those who participate in gambling activities accept the risks involved; thus, the streamers aren't to blame if we're reckless with how we manage our finances; that's not their problem if we gamble away our salary. On top of that, no one is forcing us to watch their content; if we suspect negative or misleading behavior from them, we can simply skip their content.
