301  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Plan for making a small dream come true on: November 16, 2023, 08:09:17 PM
From your price prediction i have to say you have no idea about the crypto market. It is up to you about the price you want to exit from your trade but when you are announcing it publicly, you have to do it based on facts and arguments. Othewise your prediction will be spam content nothing more. Most of your price predictions are unrealistic and most of them never hit your first exit point if i understand the market correctly until now. But this is the crypto market and if Shiba Inu and PEPE can do wonders, these projects can too so i just want to say don't lose hope anything can happen in here though i don't expect these predictions to come true.

Those exit points will be meaningless if there are no reasoning behind such values.
But it is on him how he will handle his portfolio, so such numbers won't matter to the community.
Those are his numbers, and as said, everyone has their numbers as well and you will act according to what you think is right for your portfolio.
302  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: So since SOL is $60 - Means FTX is solvent again? on: November 15, 2023, 11:59:33 PM
I think that's just the tip of the iceberg. I don't think FTX is still holding those coins after filing bankrupt. Even if they are still holding, that only shows that value on paper. If they're about to sell their holding, The price would eventually go down as many people with them will start to sell. That could lead to a huge price dump that good potentially decrease the total value of their holding.

But just to think that they can overcome this situation with only one coin makes it illogical. Then need other kind of backups in order to fix the damage that has been caused. I just want to clarify one of my doubts. Is it their personal holding or does it also includes assets from their customers? If it's their own, then they might be able to fix a little bit of damage but in order to fill the whole gap then need a lot more than this.

We can't trust them to tell the truth about their assets and their whereabouts.
So be very cautious in tapping the related projects surrounding FTX platform.
Some may show good progress but we don't know what's really going on behind those curtains.
If you invest, better keep your eyes on what they have to say and the actual developments.
Don't give them too much credibility as at the end of the day they don't care about your portfolio.
303  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever Thought of Giving Back to the Community? on: November 15, 2023, 11:32:17 PM
Well, first I'd focus on giving back to my family, and then my friends who have been there in my ups and downs. Then, that's what probably will be next if there are lot of spare money that can be given. I'll start with neighbors. I mean, they will always be there so it's better to give back to the people who are close to you first and not just to look good to them but to have that bond that neighbors should be a family too so that if you will be the one in trouble, they will also be there to help you out.

I don't think I can do giveaways on social media either. I am too shy to help people and I don't even know how to start, also it's not like I have a page that is looking for followers which is one of the main reasons why they do giveaways. More followers, subscribers, and likes means the social media company itself will pay them something back.
IMO, it's still better if the helping doesn't need a camera to boast it.

That is very true, before you help other people, help your immediate family first.
And it depends on how much you really have because not many people have over excess of money these days.
Unless you are already rich even before your winnings. But I would say, I will help people who are close to me first.
And those people who you rely on in times of your struggles in life. Because they are the ones worth helping.
304  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not keeping records makes me a bad gambler? on: November 15, 2023, 09:51:39 PM
In order to control something, you need to measure it.

If you want to realize how much you are gambling, you need to somehow keep track of the money coming in and out from that activity.

Whatever gets measured, can be controlled. If you don't measure it, chances are you are spending more than what you think.
Yes, if you want to control it, you need to organize it because otherwise it will be irregular and you won't even realize it.
I think with that record we already know about the money in and out of activities in gambling, we can calculate how much money comes in and how much money goes out, obviously it will be more money in than out. Grin

I always measure what has been put into gambling, if it is over the limit then it will not spend anymore, actually the limit is necessary so that it does not become excessive.

That should be realized by gamblers.

The reality is it is quite hard to maintain on having a record of your gambling expenses.
So for me, the more sustainable approach if you are into gambling is just deposit what you feel you can afford to lose without heartache.
Because you will be peace at yourself if you know your money that you are spending in gambling is not the money for your basic expenses.
I don't think a lot of gamblers can diligently keep their records of their gambling expenses. That will consume a lot of time as well as stress.
305  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will Doge coin everly hit $1? on: November 15, 2023, 09:20:07 PM
maybe that could happen but not in the near future, because the price of Dogecoin will definitely difficult to increase very high at the moment during an unstable market situation, but still investing in Dogecoin definitely has a big risk, because Dogecoin is a meme coin, only for now Dogecoin is one of the popular altcoin, so the possibility of its price increasing very high and hit $1 can definitely happen in the future.

The one dollar target is very far from what we have right now, which is only 7 cents at the moment.
It may happen in the future but not very soon. As long as there is interest in doge, the possibility will always be there.
No one can tell you when will that happen, but if you are a holder, better keep up with the updates surrounding this old meme alt.
If you decide to invest on this alt, don't expect too much and better follow the latest discussions on this coin.

I noticed that newbie/brand new accounts commented on this thread.
Though let's say, they are not part of the team, much better to see other members to comment on this thread.
But if only newbies will be here, would show that they are just praising or self-promoting their project.
Much better if they will also post some valuable updates on this project to show to the community that they are here to offer serious business.
307  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should I go with Bitcoin or Altcoins for the upcoming bull run cycle? on: November 14, 2023, 10:06:40 PM
BTC Only don’t touch alts

I am also a newbie here, what do you think is the 2nd best coin in the market? I do want to invest in Bitcoin and some top altcoins. Can someone enlighten me about how the market works and what are the do's and don't? Thank you!

First and foremost, if you are not sure yet on what to invest aside from bitcoin, better learn first how this market works.
Just reading here will give you better insights on what alts are worth investing, however, you need to assess those suggestions as they are merely their opinions.
Also, better explore the top alts first rather than new alts as the risk is too high for these new alts as they can easily be abandoned without even hitting exchanges.
You can also read in the beginners section and you will read a lot of good insights when it comes to investments.
308  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What percentage of bitcoin investors are gamblers ? on: November 14, 2023, 09:36:31 PM
What percentage of bitcoin investors are gamblers ?  Where will this figure be if we consider worldwide users ? I think it will be somewhere between 10-20% ?
I want to imagine that this is a research and the question you have posed is your hypotheses. The next step is for you to carry out a metanalysis by visiting all the crypto forums where there are gamblers and taking a pool. After which you do your analysis and the accept or reject the 10 -20% which you hypothesized.

Quote
Also, it is possible that most of gamblers are still not bitcoin investors ? I see  less chances of the later happening.
If you gamble with bitcoin you are a bitcoin investor because you already invested in bitcoin an it is the balance from which you are taking out to gamble. Simple put you cannot gamble with bitcoin if you have not invested in it.

Determining the percentage for this is actually hard, you won't get the right figures here as there's no stats yet for this.
He will only be concluding here without solid basis. Also, what's the significance of this figure?
If he does really want to estimate the percentage for this, as suggested above, he can make a poll/survey in bitcoin-related forums and start from there.
309  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Mining with the use of Natural Gas on: November 14, 2023, 08:52:29 PM
What happens is that he thinks that the most immediate solution to Argentina's currency problem is to dollarise the economy, but in principle he is in favour of bitcoin.

I think that discussing the issue of the economy in Argentina is sensitive because of the country’s status with the International Monetary Fund and how the economy is being developed. it is natural for the commentators’ discussions to be about the issue of the economy and its details, but it will not go far in accepting Bitcoin as a legal currency or even for daily use, as happened in El Salvador.

I have heard many alternatives in which Bitcoin can contribute to improving the economy, and I hope that some of them will be implemented.

If involvement in bitcoin would help in their economy, why not?
He may be pro-bitcoin that's why he has a very positive stance towards this market,
but if it will contribute to uplift their economic status or at least have significant impact on their people,
there's nothing wrong to involve his countrymen so long he has good intentions and not personal agenda.
310  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are there any companys offering insurance policys for crypto exchanges ? on: November 13, 2023, 11:53:42 PM
Using centralized exchange is already a risk for everyone. But there are some exchanges that have their own emergency fund like Binance called Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU)
Where they have their own insurance which comes from a portion of trading fees generated by their exchange.

Since this is still a centralized exchange, they are still the ones who control it. Still risky.
Binance is a pioneer in the emergence of the Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU),
and it has succeeded in making everyone more confident in the safety of their assets from unfortunate events.

Seeing Binance's success with SAFU, other major exchanges such as OKX, HUOBI, Coinbase, Bitget, and Gate.io launched their own SAFU.

SAFU Exchange fund amount
Binance SAFU: $1B
OKX Risk Shield: $700 M
Huobi Security Reserve Fund: 20,000 BTC
Bitget Protection Fund: $300 M
Gate SAFU: $100 M
Coinbase Insurance: £150 (Protection for UK Customer Account)

For more details on the terms and conditions, please read the Terms and services of each Exchange.

I didn't know that other exchanges already follow the SAFU program of binance. But I know long time about binance.
This is why I am confident using this trading platform. Maybe, I am using this exchange that's why I am more familiar with their offerings to their users.
Now, that other exchanges have the same feature, I believe more traders will be confident in using those platforms.
With such protection fund, hacking or any unexpected situations will give hope to its traders that they can get their funds back.
311  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you believe Technical Analysis? on: November 13, 2023, 11:34:35 PM
Technical analysis is helpful, although its not 100% accurate to give us profit, but it can give us an idea of the prediction that we can see in the actual chart graph of trading. And of course when we do this there is still a lot to consider.

You know that in this situation we will still use different indicators to find out what we are looking for in actual trading as a trader. So it's really important that we know this in reality if you want to learn to trade and make money from it.
technical analysis is good for short term trading where we are looking at really short time frame here, trying to make profit off the margin at market movement, but we don't really use it for long term honestly.
I think many people are thinking the same way as me, technical analysis for long term prediction is mostly inaccurate, so many things could happen, one major factor that make the prediction fails is the rumour and news along the way that will unexpectedly make prediction invalid.

at the end of the day, the market is purely depend on supply and demand, don't get too fixated into something, because it might not be the answer here.
always try to make judgement towards coins from other perspective.

The fact that each project has their unique market performance and have their own trend behavior in the trading market,
will be difficult to determine their indicators when it comes to long term prediction.
But having the knowledge of technical analyses would be an advantage in spotting some trends and may help you understand what's going on with its market.
312  Economy / Economics / Re: Marketing Strategies in the Digital Age on: November 13, 2023, 10:16:13 PM
Digital marketing is one of the most popular media in today's era of information and technology. Social media is such a popular media if we notice that many companies present their products in front of people through various innovative technologies. It cost them a lot of money. But because of social media, those companies are doing everything from product advertising to sales and financial transactions. If we notice that earlier advertisements were not used to sell products but nowadays various online companies are selling their products on their own websites for which products customers are getting service at home the customer receives his product and then makes a financial transaction. Which is very commendable. In the past, television news, radio, magazines and other media such as billboards and other media used to be expensive advertising. Finally it can be said that digital marketing is playing a leading role from product production to delivery to the customer.

With the current technology that we have today, digital marketing is indeed one of the common avenues to promote basically anything.
The reach is quite fast and the influence is staggering especially if you use popular personalities.
Social media alone will give you the exposure that you want, without even spending any penny.
It depends on how you use these channels to your own advantage.
313  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is there still hope for the price of BTC to hit back $69k this year? on: November 13, 2023, 09:49:44 PM
And this is already November having the year 2023 a month and couple of weeks to go and BTC markets values is still rated $35K to $36K and hovering towards $37K.
Though I am not surprised neither am I expecting BTC to hit $69K as said by OP. There is possibilities of history repeating itself referring to BTC price at 2021 but there are also potential historical value rate because can still settled on apart from the $69K of 2021.
However, we just don't have to be flexible predicting the BTC value rate simply because of a mere clue of impressions of the present.

But if it must have a guessing prediction, I would always stand that the values of BTC would be settled at the rate of $39 by the end of December to favour investors holding its coin while there would be a value depression by January to favour BTC buyers. This has though been the side by side fluctuations of BTC all these while of 2023

Just be grateful that finally we surpassed the 30k level, as it has been a while that we see this price.
Aiming to reach 69k before this year ends may be difficult. But for 40k, it seems there's possibility.
If you believe that we are heading to 40k, and you have extra funds, why not invest some?
The target of 69k won't come easy as we only have few days left for this year. But it may happen in the coming years.
314  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: I need your contribution and opinion on: November 13, 2023, 09:25:46 PM
I have a little knowledge but I need a guide. Bought some cryptocurrency like XRP and Bitcoin. Currently people only talk about Bitcoin but the price is very high for me to afford investing in it. I don't know why I feel like it's the only cryptocurrency worth investing and I would love to try  but am still learning gradually about it.

Because bitcoin is the cryptocurrency that most people choose to invest in, anyone who does so knows that their money is safe with bitcoin, no matter how long it takes. While some investors may not believe in altcoins, anything that most people find interesting will be a cryptocurrency that is worthwhile investing in. Don't wait until you have a big amount of money before starting to invest in bitcoin. You don't need to be afraid of the price; just buy what you can afford and keep your wallet safe. If you want to invest, just give it a try. Anything can start slowly because bitcoin has helped many investors. For this reason, you will see people talking about it everywhere you go. In my opinion, the future will be all about bitcoin.

If he is not very sure with other alts but have good feeling about it, he can invest but as much as possible, use only small amount of money.
So if in case something goes wrong, he won't get screwed so much. Alts are hard as they have their own market performance depending on the dev team's updates and development plans.
There are still alts which are worth to invest but should be diligent enough to study them about their potential.
Better to take it slow when it comes to alts, should not hurry as you may end up liquidating your assets. Stay with top projects for the moment.
315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler avoiding friends after a big win. on: November 12, 2023, 11:53:59 AM
In the gambling table there is no just friends, that is a survival of the fittest board rather individual existence is acknowledged due to familiarity.

Maybe the one that won was on a payback as a result of the other guy not caring for him at their own winning time too but what I feels can make one behave such in the first place is greed or he has been waiting on such a winning day to go solve necessary problems or it could also be that those of his friends don't exhibits the characters of good utilization so he abstain so he can concentrate to his pursues.
Else they should just wish him well for one good turn deserves another.

We can't judge this scenario by the fact that we don't know the whole story about this situation.
So let's just say, the winner just do his own thing because it is his winnings anyway.
People around should not get butt hurt because they haven't gotten their share, just be happy to that person.
At least you know the attitude of that person, and learn his boundaries when it comes to gambling.
316  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: sites with bonuses without deposit on: November 12, 2023, 11:24:38 AM
where did you find them?

You can visit games and round section https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=71.0
And check threads in the Gambling section, a lot of gambling sites promote their service/event/promo there.

The bonus usually comes with a wagering requirement or other terms and the bonus usually small, only enough for a new user to test the platform.
Casinos did that in purpose to prevent abuse.

But if he finds one, he needs to check the terms as usually it is not totally free.
They may be no deposit when you first play, but before withdrawal, they will ask you to deposit first.
So that's the catch here, I don't think any casino would just give free money without any some sort of deposit from the user.
So the OP should be very careful as he may expect something, so need to read all the terms attached to it.
317  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you use bitcoin when gambling? on: November 12, 2023, 10:47:43 AM
When you gamble with bitcoin the value of bitcoin can change fast. This might affect how much you win. Your bet might be worth more or less when you cash out. Making the gambling more unpredictable. So it's good to think about these changes when using Bitcoin for betting. Using fiat for gambling is better because its value doesn't change fast like Bitcoin, making it easier to predict how much you might win or lose when betting.

My take on this, it depends on which currency is available at the time that you want to gamble.
Most gamblers chose the alts based from the poll here, maybe owed to cheaper transactions over btc.
Especially these days where it needs higher fees. But for some, they will still use fiat as they are using their credit/debit cards.

If nothing else, this will give its citizen something to augment their income.
Also, instead of having those money in the pocket of few officials, at least give something to its people.
We don't know their long-term plan on this matter, but I guess, they will make a study on how it will impact their economy.
As we are not residing in their country, we don't know exactly what benefits it will give to its citizen, but for sure, people will be happy as it is free money.
319  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin is different from other means of investment on: November 12, 2023, 09:41:47 AM
While Bitcoin and real estate are used in two different ways to build wealth, there are some similarities between the two fields. Real estate investment can help generate income almost permanently, though it may take time.  the other hand, Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, which offers an opting market and opportunity to earn more profit in less time. However, this market is not replaceable and may take time to gain traction. If you want to chart your own path to profit in these two communities, good planning, education and time may be required. Which one is better will depend on your more value property, concept location and information-advice balance. By doing a thorough research you can develop your personal preferences and strengths.
Both bitcoin and real estate investing require considerable knowledge and expertise. An advantage of bitcoin investment is that it is not controlled by the government and the individual invests independently and is not influenced by anything. But when the country's economy suffers real estate investment loses its balance. Its value will decrease day by day investing will become easier if the charts can be evaluated correctly in the case of crypto investment.

One advantage when it comes to bitcoin is that you can invest even small amount of money.
But when you consider real-estate, it may require handsome amount of money and the documentary requirements are a lot.
However, if you do want a tangible asset in your portfolio, you will dedicate some of your resources and time to acquire one.
It is always best to diversify your portfolio, so getting both would be your advantage in the field of investment.
320  Economy / Economics / Re: "I saw my salary on a bottle of perfume today" on: November 11, 2023, 11:53:51 PM
The general definition of financial freedom is affordability to live the lifestyle that you wish for, so it's obvious that the more you earn the higher your lifestyle can become. Just remove the elite class from the discussion who can buy whatever they want and the price tag doesn't matter to them which is even beyond the top 1% apart from that everyone wants to spend on something that is worth the money and itself varies depending on their income generating stability.

my underline quote will be if you buy that an expensive bottle because you want it and can afford it then its financial freedom but you are buying it but you don't really wish to use it then its lifestyle inflation which is created purely from the peer pressure created by brands.

And the scenario presented by the OP is that the price of that bottle of perfume costs the same as the salary of that person.
So do you really think it is just to buy such perfume and suffer your other expenses?
You are delusional if you are just following the hype around you, why buying such expensive bottle for the mere reason of being relevant.
