61  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It's stupidity to have thousands in Bitcoin using a software wallet on: February 07, 2024, 11:29:48 AM
Bitcoin business environment is very wide and we keep learning everyday as technology is keep advising, Hence when it comes hardware wallet and software wallet, one carries device and the other one is online wallet as the case may be, all is determined by individual understanding and as of me, I prefer using software wallet, I mean online wallet, because is very easy for me for a transaction and always secure my phase code and private key safe. Than using external device to safe my Bitcoin and other alt-coins.
That's right, each user uses applications or a hardware wallet at his own discretion. I agree with the thesis that for small amounts there is no point in buying any devices since this simply makes no sense and will not be profitable. For longer storage and large sums, a hardware wallet will be a good solution, since the risk of hacking will be minimal; only the probability of losing this wallet will be.

wasn't it buy the rumors and sell the news events? I think the news has been sold and now the time for consolidation for bitcoin. IMO bitcoin will not start moving upward before the halving and even after the halving bitcoin will still continue moving sideways. In the meantime all those ETF managers will keep buying bitcoin and they will emerge as the biggest bitcoin holders in the industry. Which is good for the short term but in the long term this things can turn ugly.
For quite some time now, large exchanges and funds have a huge amount of bitcoins, so the worst has essentially already happened. And now they dictate where and how they will move forward; nothing depends on small traders for a long time.The moment was lost as soon as large monopolistic exchanges appeared and when hundreds of different altcoins appeared on the market. So now we can only adapt to the current conditions and guess what the giants are planning.
63  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Less than 80 days until the 4th Ever #Bitcoin Halving on: February 06, 2024, 03:02:06 PM
There is a huge expectation of halving, people are indeed having some gasp and history recall which makes them think this would be the beginning of another bull season. Glad we are optimistic but the question is if we fill our bag already or just still waiting after the halving.

Well, the impact of halving is quite remarkable, the increase in prices is really what we see. But, based on the previous ATH, it never comes right after halving, it takes several months to see results. Maybe I was wrong but I was expecting to see the new ATH next year, exactly following the 4-years cycle in the history of the market.
Many users simply lay low and continue to accumulate Bitcoin while there is such an opportunity, it is better to do this now in silence. Closer to the haliving itself, I think there will be a strong news background in the popular media, which will give the main impetus for mass purchases and, accordingly, there will be a new influx of traders in the market. About two weeks before the halving itself, there will be more and more mentions in the media as this will be a trend.
64  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who says Tesla initiated last bull run is wrong on: February 06, 2024, 11:49:07 AM
Since associated with Elon Musk, people probably thinks that anything Elon Musk advertises must have good value hence why i am sure the moment Tesla accepted bitcoin more people got interested and trusted bitcoin

While i agree that tesla had some impact on bitcoin’s price it is far away from being the driving factor of the bull run people who say that it was what initiated  bull run are delusional especially knowing that the previous halving happened during that time
At that time, Musk wisely took advantage of the situation and caught this wave of hype, and at that moment he became “one of the people” for the community, simultaneously advertising Tesla and all his other projects received a huge portion of advertising and recognition. Many users wanted to see another crypto enthusiast in their idol, but it turned out as usually, the media often wrote news and often made up tall tales, several years have passed and where is Musk now? He’s still busy with his projects and he doesn’t care about crypto.
65  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ POLL ] The Unification Fight: FURY vs USYK 17th FEBRUARY 2024 on: February 05, 2024, 04:00:53 PM
The fight was postponed to May 18 and now it will definitely take place.
 Direct speech from the organizer: “The last attempt is when we can hold this fight, and I have set the date - May 18. I have guarantees from both boxers - 10 million [dollars], if anyone - then he refuses the fight [his opponent will receive]. 10 million is not from us, we guarantee it - 10 million from their personal funds."
In this case, the fight will be more interesting since the athletes will have more time to prepare, and the public will be more interested in watching since the event will be final and there should be no more postponements.

So if either fighter pulls out of the fight they would be on the hook for $10 million. That is very interesting. I wonder about the logistics of this agreement. Do they actually have $20 million in escrow, $10 million from each, or is it just a contract they signed saying they will pay that amount if they don't go through with it? I just hope there are no more obstacles and we get an undisputed heavyweight champion once and for all.
I don’t know if any of them have such funds since the amount is not small, but it will be a good incentive for every athlete to come to the fight and box.
If this is not done, boxers may lose the support of their fans and earn a reputation as a person who is not responsible for their words and actions, which will also negatively affect their future career.
66  Economy / Speculation / Re: Best time to buy BTC NOW? on: February 04, 2024, 08:43:37 PM
The best time was at the end of 2022. But as it is impossible to know, the best thing to do is to buy little by little at an average price, the famous DCA. It is impossible to know tops and bottoms, they are always probabilities.

I agree, best time was at the end of 2022. Nevertheless, sometimes it is better to make a big one-time investment, unless you make it at the cycle top, but over time that might be better than DCA
and for some there was a better time five years ago. At least before the haliving, you can buy at any price since there is no big rush and demand at the moment. It is not necessary to buy a large sum at once; many people now take a little at a time and thus save and In the future, it will be a good idea to increase balance. This is a better tactic than simply waiting for the best moment to buy.

Turki, Tyson & Usyk were all just on Ariel's show. Tyson does have the cut so we at least now know it's not fake or an old injury.

I am also curious what is going to happen to all event in general. If the main event is cancelled, will the other fight also be canceled? If yes, then Fury has set up a lot of other fighters, who had several weeks camp, perhaps cut weight or planned to do that, as minimum spent money on preparation. What is going on in such cases? Does anyone knows what happens in this case? Do fighters get something as cashback? Are such things stated in their contracts?

They've just pushed it back a few months. Looks like there will be no boxing on that day now. There were rumours they were tyring to get usyk another opponent but it's probably best to not risk him losing or getting injured and further delaying it.

68  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paying house rent with bitcoin is it appropriate? on: February 03, 2024, 07:13:37 PM
I also agreed with you that why need to Pay in bitcoin when we have cash on hand ? bitcoin has a potential increase while fiat remains its value but this is about helping the bitcoin community and its value to have sense and this is to use in transacting , but yes we cannot blame others from storing their precious bitcoin and wait for the increase in price. and this is how people dealing here as some wanted to HODL while others wanted to circulate this cryto.
the contract implies the equivalent of 100 dollars in Bitcoin, which means that the amount is different every month. I know one freelancer, he receives a salary in dollars (usdt), some he also converts to local currency, some he converts to another crypto. Perhaps the person from the article has the same history, so he loses almost nothing and this is just another payment function and nothing more. It’s good that two people decided to make payments using this method. Moreover, it says that both are experienced users of cryptocurrency, so it’s beneficial for both.

very good question, I also thought about this, most likely it is written in the contract and for every day of non-compliance there will be a penalty like a fine. It is very unfortunate that this happened, this is the second postponement of the fight and now it will take place at best by the summer if not later. There is already news in the news about a new opponent for Usyk, but few people will be interested in this since expectations will not be justified. I think a week or two and we will hear new dates and conditions of the fight.
70  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Google Updates policy allowing bitcoin and crypto assets trust to be advertised. on: February 02, 2024, 03:01:19 PM

From the 29th of January Google allowed to advertise cryptocurrency assets and Bitcoin which may help to make Crypto and bitcoin more popular and as in result adoption of cryptocurrency may increase. These kinds of news put trust in investors and they rush to invest in bitcoin as ETF also has been approved.

Cryptocurrencies and related products ....>>Here is the link where you can read the policy about the update. Must read. well before that Google never allowed advertisers to advertise  Cryptocurrency assets I think it could be a good update for the crypto space. What do you guys think about it? Must share your opinion many Thanks
This is both good and not very good at the same time. The good thing is that the popularization of cryptocurrencies will not be superfluous and it will be nice if good projects are advertised on the large Internet and at the same time this is an ideal opportunity for scammers to advertise their projects, remember how in 2017 how many there were advertisements for dubious projects. I am more interested in how moderation will take place and the selection of projects and who will be released for advertising.
71  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: World female football. on: February 02, 2024, 10:25:49 AM

Their is a lot of serious event happening in the female sports sphere and I'm hoping because we have both male and female gamblers in the forum,  it would also be fair to have a particular thread that talks about that.

If that will be okay then I can edit this thread so it can be used to talk about the recent happening in the world of female sports.
You say there are a lot of events happening, and which ones exactly? I’m honestly not a fan of women’s football and I don’t even know a single athlete’s name. If you have something to share be sure to publish it, it will be interesting to read and perhaps then there will be a little more fans.
Women's tennis, volleyball and swimming are quite popular, for some reason it turned out that way, but women's football champions are not very popular.
72  Economy / Speculation / Re: 112 days waiting for bitcoin halving!! on: February 01, 2024, 04:37:50 PM
Looks like 1 long year has passed, and we said goodbye to 2023 and entered the new year 2024. We are only waiting for 2024 for Bitcoin because this year is going to be one of the best year for Bitcoin. Where the block reward of Bitcoin will decrease from BTC6.25 to BTC3.125 and at that time we will see more demand for Bitcoin, and expect a gradual change in the Bitcoin market.
As Bitcoin halving is only 112 days away, we are looking forward to that time. All bitcoin investors only wait for bitcoin bull season. And the bull season usually starts after the halving as we know it, so I think there is a golden opportunity right now to just hodl Bitcoin.
All bitcoiners get ready to hodl your BTC success is waiting for you ahead.

Bitcoin halving is only 79 days away, those who have not yet participated in this 2024 Bitcoin halving investment, do so quickly. Bitcoin price will surely touch the highest level now is the present opportunity you should hurry. Before every bitcoin halving the price of bitcoin goes down a lot, so now the price of bitcoin is down a lot so everyone should take advantage of this opportunity.

yes, there are approximately 80 days left before the event.Now there are many investors who bought a long time ago and are waiting for a good price to sell. In order for the price to become higher, new investors are needed and a lot of them.Closer to the haliving itself in a few weeks, I think there will be more interest from the media and they will highlight this news and it should have an effect.
73  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When I'm emotional, I LOSS! on: February 01, 2024, 02:20:21 PM
Excessive anger and excessive emotion should be discarded at a certain age. The decisions we make when we are angry are mostly wrong and we realize that when we are not angry. Anger is for pride people but it should not be done all the time. No matter how much anger or pride we have in doing business, we cannot apply it to our business or even if we are a professional gambler, we cannot make any decision out of anger or over-emotion.

When a gambler gambles with emotion or gambles with excessive anger, it can be seen that he is not using his brain properly in gambling and he is making wrong decisions one after another. He is being defeated and he is suffering as he takes wrong decisions one by one. Wherever there is need to show anger or wherever there is need to be insulted we have to do it, there is no point in showing our emotions or anger in the wrong place.
very often anger goes along with greed and this is the main problem of players who cannot control their emotions. You are absolutely right when you talk about a younger age, this is when character is formed and habits appear, so yes, younger players are more emotional and they pay for it balance in the game. Highly emotional people should not engage in gambling as luck is unlikely to smile on them.
74  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When I'm emotional, I LOSS! on: January 30, 2024, 09:48:58 PM
Hey, guys! Are any of you emotional gamblers who often lose because you can't control what you feel? When you lose, do you tend to double your bets or chase your losses, driven by a pride that can't accept defeat? Do you consider this a problem? If so, has anyone here been able to solve this kind of problem themselves, and if yes, how did you do it?

it was at the very beginning of the journey, as soon as I got acquainted with gambling, especially with Dice, I wanted to win back what I had lost, the martingale system and all that kind of stuff. Only after playing a lot of games did I realize that over the long haul, the casino will always be in profit, but not the player.
The player himself can lucky in an exceptional random game and there are no systems for winning, after this knowledge was obtained there was no longer a desire to win back or anger at the game, I paid for my experience in this way (how many doge were lost, it’s sad Grin) for this reason I play exclusively on the amount that I am mentally prepared to lose so as not to feel guilty for losing and I treat this as entertainment and not a way to quickly double my balance.
75  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paying with Bitcoin. on: January 30, 2024, 04:12:41 PM

So, I would love to ask and get this confusion over with. Is it ok for you to purchase items with Bitcoin? If yes or no, please state your reasons so we can all learn from it.

Thank you
Bitcoin is an asset convertible into any currency, and this is its advantage as an instrument. It can be used as a savings asset and wait for profit, or you can use it here and now or convert it into currency and pay it all at the user’s discretion.
For example, I have different categories of savings in cryptocurrency, the first is a reserve that I systematically replenish and the second is something that can be converted and spent and traded or used in various activities, this is an advantage since I am not tied to only one source.
76  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? on: January 30, 2024, 01:55:22 PM
I think the process you mentioned, won't work similarly with everyone cause everybody has different mentality. At first, i faced such problem due to gambling, i worried a lot about the result (win or loss), after losing or lack of money effected on my life. Although that time i was in limit too, that's why it hadn't effected on my life badly. And Then even the last answer of your question is, when i realised gambling isn't for making money, i do loss more than winning, then anyhow my mind able just able to stop it considered as useless thing lol. Actually just need to control your greed and wake up to reality that's all. Now there's no problem when i do Gambling. I can make myself happy even by placing bet even with little amount where loss doesn't matter at all
Yes, human greed is the strongest factor in gambling, thanks to this, the gambling industry has so much money. As soon as players come to self-discipline, their losses decrease and the excitement goes away. A popular mistake of players is to bet large amounts and after losing they try to win back and after that they lose a large amount again, The best option is to play only for the amount that you don’t mind losing and enjoy the game and be psychologically prepared for losing and treat it more simply, then there will definitely be no problems.
77  Economy / Speculation / Re: Best time to buy Bitcoin now and before the Bitcoin Halving: April 22, 2024 on: January 29, 2024, 06:13:26 PM
Although I cannot foretell that it will reach $350,000 this year, it is wise to buy Bitcoin before the halving. Maybe it will reach that amount and make us happier but every crypto investor believes that Bitcoin is bullish.

If have additional savings, I will continue to invest in Bitcoin even next year when peak prices are expected. I believe that there will be some dips this year. Therefore, there are still numerous opportunities for late investors to enter. I want to sell a portion of my investment when Bitcoin is at $100,000, so taking into account the present value, it is as yet cheap.
350k is too optimistic a forecast. If you look at trading over the last 2-3 months, there are enough fluctuations, which means that investors are still in doubt, although most are inclined not to pay attention to it. In order for the price to become 100k or so, the market needs to attract there is still a lot of money or to shake investors out of altcoins and convince them to invest in bitcoin, then this scenario will become possible, plus the halving effect which will definitely give an impetus to the price increase.
78  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence? on: January 28, 2024, 06:03:49 PM
Domestic violence due to gambling seems to be common in the environment I live in, some gambling addicts are even determined to carry out criminal acts such as stealing, robbing and many other criminal acts, even in more serious situations they resort to selling illegal drugs to get instant money for capital. they gamble
I sometimes see in the news when they write about some kind of crime related to gambling, theft, fights, etc. But I haven’t seen anything about domestic violence yet, of course I don’t deny that it exists and definitely it should be punishable and it is important that there are specialists who helped people get out of this so that it wouldn’t happen again in the future, in my country gambling is not very popular so this is not a problem that they talk about among themselves, rather it is more often an exception.
79  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is this the end of excitement on: January 28, 2024, 12:13:49 PM
I have been buying small amounts of bitcoin for over 10 years. While I was always knew bitcoin would grow I did hope that some events might make it jump up in price say 3 to 5 times. Events like etf approval, a harvening etc. I still remember those charts that had predicted supersonic prices by now. But now read that both the etf and harvening aew now priced in and yet the price is not even an earlier all time high.

Does that mean the excitement days are over. Has bitcoin become boring in terms of big price fluctuations☹️

As far as I know bitcoin excitement days are not over you will not be disappointed just wait patiently it is sure to see good results. Investors all know that the price of bitcoin can go up and down allowing bitcoin to break its all time highs. Even if the price falls the investors who do not lose their grip and keep it for long term are the successful ones. Don't worry bitcoin is a great way to succeed.
This is a tool for those who know how to wait and have willpower. The tactic of buying in small parts and over a long period of time is quite good, in the end the final amount will be impressive and the price chart just proves this. In the end, only the most patient and experienced will win users do not pay attention to market fluctuations but only take the opportunity to buy at a more attractive price and be in profit in the long run.
80  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2 years old kids alone at home for hours, while the father goes gambling on: January 27, 2024, 07:42:59 PM

but he won $2,000 isn't that enough to forgive his fault?   Grin

why didn't he just hire a nanny for a day if it was too itchy to play for a day, i think he can afford to pay a nanny. but now that he is in this situation, do you think will the kids be taken by the social service?

more bad news coming to him now that the authorities are going to look into this couple. and it's been in the news also this is going to get worse.
After reading the article, I also had a thought: why didn’t he hire a nanny and go play and spend his time if he wanted so badly? Now his family is in big trouble and there will be long proceedings with the child welfare service, monetary fines, and so on.
In this situation, the only plus is that the neighbor turned out to be vigilant and called the cops in time when he sensed something was wrong. And the man should overcome his gambling addiction and will have to apologize for a long time to his wife and children in the future.
