421  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: why meme coins are trending? on: October 22, 2023, 07:12:42 PM
Meme tokens started as funny internet stuff, but they are turning into serious business with real communities behind them. $Opium, with its cool idea and excited supporters, seems like it's going to be a standout meme token. It's more than just a joke; it's a movement.

It's because of one man, Elon Musk, he is the one who started this trend since he shills it, and as long as he keeps shilling and backing Dogecoin more meme coins will follow, AI is a new trend but the meme coins still remain because Elon keeps his support to meme coin headed by Dogecoin, there's still no end to this meme coin trend because Elon is planning to add Doge to Xtwitter.
Dogecoin used to be a joke or funny coin now it has the potential to overtake some of the top coins in the market as long as it has Elon Musk's support.  
There is no meme coin trend. It's just that many people think that it's easy to make a profit on such coins. But it always turns out the other way round, buying meme coins people lose money more often. Just because there are so many such projects being created, it seems to be a trend. But in fact it is no different from other coins that are created for the hype.

Let us face the reality that most of these meme projects are just jumping the bandwagon.
They don't have real use case as their main motivation is to exhaust money from these gullible users who will jump on their project.
Unfortunately, a lot of users are joining in for the mere thought of earning huge profits, but later on, will be disappointed because such promise is not true for all.
Most of these projects are created by scammers and so they can easily abandon their project once they got something in their pockets.

The main point as for me that your coins are really yours. No one can block your account if you are holding your sats in non custodial wallets

That's true, this is one of the strongest reasons for the creation of bitcoin which the people have always hold unto in other to receive the best performance with bitcoin being a digital currency, it's such a reliable and consistent cryptocurrency that does not create sentiment over anyone, it's made available for everyone use if adopted, bitcoin is just like a seasonal film in the eye of governments, they can't finish watching it.

As we put it this way, we are our own bank holding our coins or any cryptocurrencies. We don't need to bother others if we know how to manage and secure our assets.
This is why if you put your coins in other third party apps or trading platforms, it is not considered yours because you have no full control of it.
There's no magic in here but it teaches people to be responsible with their assets. And it is your fault if you fall to click baits, traps or fraudsters.
And the best thing here is that everyone can own any amount, at their own convenience, without being known to anybody. It is all on you if you want to disclose your holdings to others.
423  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: An Existing Pre-Sale that you can recommend Is There a Token That Is Available? on: October 21, 2023, 11:46:25 PM
Hello Bitcointalk, Dear Members, do you know a pre-sale token with solid connections that you can recommend? I'm Thinking About Making an Investment
Can't recommend you to anything like that since honestly even those presale token show some solid partnership they still fall into a category as scam. So maybe try to learn trade those existing solid coins since this is much better investment rather than trying to risk on those new tokens and try to go first to sell or else your doomed. People already have bad experience thru this type of investment so maybe its ideal if you could learn from them and didn't come to learn from your experience since it might cost you a lot of money for taking those mistakes.

I know its hard to learn trading but consistency beat all odds and you will learn it for long time learning its process.

As you said, better look for solid coins before going into new projects, which most of them have very short lifespan.
If the OP is indeed a newbie in this market, should start from top alts as they have solid ground already.
He will likely lose if he will try to buy those pre-sale tokens, because most of them won't even hit the trading market, as they will be abandoned by their respective creators.
424  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Experience is key, go for it. on: October 21, 2023, 11:23:36 PM

The point is that you have to be consistent with whatever you want to master or are currently doing. if you are trying to become a trader then what you have to do is try to become a good trader by learning basic trading skills and also collecting capital that can support you in trading.

It's the same as when you are trying to become a Bitcoin or other altcoin miner, you have to be consistent and also learn the basic things a miner should do. Consistency and persistence are two important elements that will make you successful in whatever you are doing.

And with such consistency, you will soon find out that a certain activity is already like a passion to you.
Wherein, you won't feel being forced to do such task but it all comes natural to you.
This will be a good feeling for you because you are enjoying what you are doing, and you won't get tired of it.
You need to dedicate your time and some of your resources if you are serious in doing good for one thing.
Patience and hard work are always needed to succeed in any endeavor in life. As you said, miner or trader, both need consistency and persistency to attain success.
425  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Nigeria socialite went all in on this sport bet on: October 21, 2023, 10:22:43 PM
Weirdly it looks like Drake a little bit, so I guess he's also not using his own money but "fun"(fake) money given by the sportsbook (Bet9ja) he is promoting and he will be paid something even if his betslip is losing at the end. Betting large sums could also be part of his image and branding, it could serve as a way to keep his followers entertained, so it would be a good win-win strategy for him and for the sportsbook finally.

I remember there was betja before in the forum but it was gone long time ago.
So yes, I don't know the legitimacy of the bookie that he used here. So be very careful in falling to this trap.
If in case, some bettors here wanted to try on this site. We don't know the reputation of this site as it is not even present in the forum.
Though he is using large sum of money and he has the money, I am still doubtful about the reputation of the site.
If he wins, happy for him but bettors should not follow his footsteps, needs to do their own due diligence.
426  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which old coin do you prefer? Litecoin or Dogecoin? on: October 21, 2023, 09:59:26 PM
What would be your pick? And why did you choose that coin in the first place? Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Smiley
I've never been on Litecoin although for Doge we can't deny that almost everyone has been there but it's not a wise choice either when choosing on Doge for now Cheesy
If there are two choices then maybe I will learn more about LTC even though it may not be a priority. Doge could still be an option but with what has happened to them where the hype is high and the Pump and Dump is unreasonable before I would rather avoid this.
Not that I don't like it because I used to like this coin but for now I prefer to play it safe rather than having to force a big risk.

I used to like doge before for transfer purposes because it is quite cheap, that's when it was not yet hyped up by Elon.
But when he started mentioning this old meme coin, the price increased and so the fees.
That's when I checked LTC, and they are cheaper now in fees, or maybe it depends on the platform you are using.
But on the note of fees, I believe, both are still good and you can find them in almost trading platforms, so it is quite easy to trade these alts.
But for long-term investments, I won't choose any of these alts. I'll stick with btc for long-term holding.
These alts for me, have uncertain futures as compared to btc. We don't know where their developments will bring them into.
427  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: No scam sportsbooks on: October 20, 2023, 11:47:51 PM
Does anyone know any bookmakers with a wide line that are not scams, it doesn?t matter whether it?s a crypto bookmaker or a regular bookmaker like bet365 alternative  ?
You can see a lot of bookmakers who is not a scammer.  You may use any bookmakers who has signature campaign on the forum. I am saying signature campaign because those who haa a signature campaign checked by lot of people. So if they are scammer they will be caught.
At the current stage,  we have recorded higher number of legit bookmakers who's presence are active here in the forum and also on their support page,  a lot of time we have noticed that most of those who have one issue or the others have gotten the problems resolved,  this shows how legit those bookmakers are and though that active response and constant updates over the years have shown that indeed the bookmakers value the reputation and business as large.

Mind you,  be for you to trust any bookmaker you have to first of all check how active they are on a person's research and not based on individuals or influencers' comments.

The OP should move this thread to the gambling discussion board.
But in any case, he is right to visit the board here because he can already get good insights from players in this forum.
And in this board alone, he can already check reputable and known bookies. Check their trust summary as well as feedbacks.
There are several top bookies here that can very well afford high rollers without a problem.
428  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Correlation between buying and selling of bitcoin: Is it a technical methodology on: October 20, 2023, 10:27:40 PM
You need to learn more about the law of supply and demand, it took humans a lot of time to learn it but we finally understood how both forces are related.

The price of bitcoin goes up when the demand goes up as its supply is limited, so in order to get it people are willing to pay a little bit more in order to hold some bitcoin, and this process is what increases the price as this happens all over the world at the same time with billions of dollars on the line, and as you may guess when we see the opposite and more people are willing to sell then this increases the supply at exchanges, and in order to get their fiat as fast as possible people are willing to sell for a discount and this process reduces the price.

Supply and demand is the basic driving force in any market price movement and so is with crypto or btc.
As the supply is fixed, then, we can say, demand is the major reason of this roller coaster ride.
And such demand is owed to various players or factors, and up until now is very ambiguous as it encompasses a lot of contributing factors.
This is why you need to keep up with the market, and learn those factors such as new developments, new stakeholders, unexpected events such as big crypto companies collapsing or bankruptcies, among others.
429  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casinos not asking for KYC to register and play, but do require it to withdraw on: October 20, 2023, 09:10:21 PM
So, some applications these days don't require you to verify your identity when registering to use such apps, neither do they require your KYC to enable you play but you must verify through KYC when its time to withdraw and its almost impossible for you to say No.

If every gambler can understand this simple ideology then maybe there won't be more complicated issues with the gambling platforms and the gamblers because i see it sometimes as a lack of understanding when a gambler is not reasoning the same way the gambling platform expects of them, this means the both parties cannot go along with each other except one understand the other and out their conditions into consideration, if a user-supplied every required document, there won't be any issue, but on the contrary, things will not go well.
KYC is straight straightforward demands, if a casino has it, is not something that will be hidden so at least the gambler who sign up on the site will have the chance to quickly spot them and also be sure to put in place the necessary arrangement and waiting to when to be asked to supply the necessary documents to verify the accounts.
But if any casino does not state that there are KYC compliances it the means that they are practically abusing the right of the gambler if they demand for it along the line.

The gambler himself should have the responsibility to check and browse the ToS of every casino he wants to play with.
Some casinos won't ask KYC right away because some of them will only ask your credentials if your accumulated deposits or withdrawals have exceeded their limits.
So don't accuse the site of stealing if you failed to read their terms and the site is now asking KYC because you exceeded already their set limits or violated some of their terms.
Also do remember that if the site has their legit gambling license, they surely have to say something about AML/KYC requirements.
430  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How long to learn trading? on: October 19, 2023, 11:51:55 PM
honestly if you are eager learner and diligent enough a week will suffice, that you will get the gist of trading in general, but not really knowing the ups and downs of the trading.
it definitely requires you to learn so many books to accumulate the experience of trading as well as knowing how the market behave.
there might be some anomaly that going on in the market that might be different from what some books about trading has described but that also something that you will acknowledge along the way.
but overall I don't think it will be a long journey learning how to trade.
after all, even just trying out demo account in a day you already can trade, its all about getting profit from the price movement if you trade in spot.

Learning the basics in trading is easy, as you said, it could only take a week.
However, to learn those strategies could take years and years as you will learn a thing or two everyday you are in trading.
But if you do want to start learning those tips, better start with small funds so you can grasp what's the actual trading looks like.
Also, as each coin or token or any other currency have their different features, there will be no concrete strategy that can work on them. Usually, it is the combination of various factors and you will learn it thru time and experience.
431  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Know When to Stop. Lesson for Everyone, Particularly Investors on: October 19, 2023, 11:15:47 PM
Knowing when to stop is also like knowing yourself more. Greedy people often do not achieve success but failure and that is a lesson learned that we must know how to deal with our emotions and much more about controlling our greed. Well, for newbies it seems not easy to know about it but for experienced traders or investors, we probably know when to stop.

 - stop if we already exceed our limits
 - stop if we feel uncomfortable and out of the plan
 - stop if we never understand that market situation
It's not about being a newbie or an experienced trader, it's all about the knowledge that you have and the basic understanding of how a financial market works. I might be a newbie in the cryptocurrency market but maybe I have a lot of experience in another financial market that has a lot of similarities with it and if that is the case, I would understand and know when I need to act and when I should simply keep my hands out of the dirt because it's only going to make them dirty.

A lot of people make the mistake of not acquiring enough knowledge about the market and how things work around, and the disadvantage for them is that they don't have any experience with any other financial market and this is the first time they decided to earn some money through trading because they've been seeing it all around.

Just like any trading market, you do need to equip yourself with enough knowledge on every project you want to explore with.
That is true, you may be new to crypto market but you've been doing the forex trading or other financial markets.
It means, you already have the basic knowledge what to look out or consider and you won't jump on a simple hype or anything.
432  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Drake's Curse. on: October 19, 2023, 10:20:01 PM

Not a bad loss, it's gambling after all. You win some, you lose some that's just how gambling works. If he happens to win his bet would that be terrible?
IMO, most gamblers has poor gambling records though. I bet most of us has lost more money than we win.
I could only say that it's a terrible loss if someone has to take a loan just to place a bet and lost it eventually, that is a prime example of a terrible loss. But as for Drake, $850k isn't a big deal as he owns a lot of money. If I'm as wealthy as Drake I could've done the same thing, bet on the most risky but high reward odds since money doesn't bother me at all so why not maximize the profitability chances.

There are not a lot of successful gamblers who consistent make profit and everybody who gambles will have losses and wins. Drake, with his crazy high bets, just gets a lot of attention from everybody and everyone has his opinion. To be honest, a lot of his recent high bets were all a loss though, so I wouldn't follow Drake his bets lol.

Or better yet, Drake can afford those high losses, so we should not follow his footsteps.  Grin
With his stake collab, I guess, he's also paid handsome amount of money.
And such loss, is no big deal for him. He can easily gets it back.
But for ordinary people like us, that's already like retirement savings or lifetime's savings, not even close.
433  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you think about trading feature? on: October 19, 2023, 08:48:30 PM
Trading features in a casino will appear beneficial to those who like to gamble and, at the same time, are also into trading, and the common man who is just into gambling and knows nothing about crypto currency trading will consider that useless too.
 
Some people dislike seeing this, which is not supposed to be in a particular place, and they are being found there, and I happen to be one of those people. If I want to gamble when I visit a casino, I just want to see different kinds of games and not some trading features. If I need to run some trading, I will visit a broker and not a casino.
 
Well, the casinos that are adding such an option are just looking for ways to meet up with the competition in the market, or maybe it could also be based on customer requests, any of which is really not my thing, and I won't even try using such an option in the first place. Let me not lose more than I do on games I know how to play.

As the casinos want to diversify their services and cover all grounds, hence,, this offering.
We will know if this is not getting interest if they will close down this service in the future.
Because if it will just be a liability inside the casino, they won't put up on this for long, right?
There are also traders and gamblers, so there will be group of people who will like this feature.
434  Economy / Economics / Re: In times of war, Gold rises. What about Bitcoin? on: October 18, 2023, 11:52:55 PM
I've seen Gold market prices rising lately as a result of the current Israel-Hamas conflict. However, Bitcoin hasn't experienced any upsurge in price. It's still hovering around the $26k range. Something similar happened during the Russia-Ukraine war.

Is it because investors still don't trust Bitcoin as a store of value? Or is it something else? Please enlighten me. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Smiley

I had to qoute your entire op because I basically don't know how best to say this, but I think people already believe so much in gold either digital gold or physical gold and this is because gold had already proven itself long before now unlike Bitcoin or cryptocurrency which is still new in the market and highly volatile but I had to go check gold out and it seems the rise wasn't really significant and bitcoin  has a lot of factors that determine its rise and fall and bitcoin  can either rise or fall with or without war.

Gold is an asset which has been with the humankind since time immemorial, and its value is of no question.
Thus, we can't discard the fact that it is still one of the reliable assets that people want to hold given circumstances.
Bitcoin, is different as it is a digital asset and a very volatile one up until now.
If you are not a risk taker, you won't involved yourself in this market, you will prefer the tangible ones like gold.
435  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I was ripped off on: October 18, 2023, 09:52:59 PM
I don't think the guy actually owns the car but the plates on the car are New Jersey - 12845QQ and he gave me a name of Damon Eden

Did you find this add on Facebook?

Was this 1967 Chevrolet Nova SS PROJECT for $15000?
How did you contact the seller?

Did you use messenger?

Usually there's some trace the police could follow.
If he told you he was the owner of the car and scammed you, that's a matter for the police, pretty much like if you gave him cash and he bailed.

The good thing is that  taufik123 had traced the transaction where the possible true identity of the scammer can be identified since the BTC was sent to a Binance account.  If @OP wanted to pursue the case and wanted the scammer apprehended he can then ask a the court for an order so that Binance will disclose the owner of the stated address. 

It might be more costly but it will possibly prevent future scam done by this person.

The trouble of chasing this scammer may not be worth as it is not big money.
However, that is true, this will serve as a good lesson to the OP not to trust strangers over the net.
If you want to be sure of your transactions, better deal with reliable platforms or better yet, pay it physically and see what's in it for you.
In today's world, so much fraud has been happening over cyberspace and you are the one responsible not to be victimized with such.
436  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I am 19 years old boy living in South korea. Please give me an advice on: October 18, 2023, 09:03:28 PM
100 dollar is for personal use. I can use it to anything I want. I use father's credit card for my expenses.
The rule of thumb is only invest what you can afford to lose. You’re new to bitcoin and even though bitcoin is a very good investment, it can be confusing for a newbie investor. It seems to me that $100 allowance you receive from your dad is inconsequential to you and it won’t be too much trouble if you risk it. You already have the zeal to invest, what you need to do now is to learn where to buy/sell bitcoins, how to choose bitcoin wallets and how to secure your wallet.

He can always invest and buy some satoshis. It doesn't mean that he needs to use all those $100 to get btc.
But before doing so, he should be emotionally prepared and knowledgeable on this market.
And know how to secure those satoshis that he will buy, he can check the forum in the beginners section and read important points before he get his first satoshis.
437  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Governments Ban Cryptocurrency {Bitcoin} on: October 17, 2023, 09:42:30 PM
The government can do whatever they want to do, especially with businesses, whether they approve it or not, as long as they benefit from it. Of course, they will prioritize their personal interests over the benefit of the government.

And any government will not really agree if they have no benefit to gain from it. Especially since they own it. But this kind of behavior by the government is normal, so many countries have banned Bitcoin, and eventually they also revoked it because they realized that it has benefits for their country.

The very main reason why I believe some countries have negative approach towards bitcoin is that this market is decentralized.
So the government has no hold or no control on this currency and that they don't want to deal with such uncertain market.
Also, the point that most of these officials up until now are not really educated to this market, hence, their hesitation to include this in their financial plans.
So I guess, learning this market will give them more insights and be more open mind as this market will continue whether they will participate or not.

- do you have any survival tips during war period?
- are there any business that I can do during a period of war so as to sustain my family? Can I still budget, save and earn in Bitcoin?
- What is the economic impacts on individuals with families and how do I sustain them during war period.

1) Relocate to a peaceful country. It's more a philosophical question but I strongly believe in the right to self preservation, so a civilian does not need to sacrifice his survival if his world views and Raison D'etre don't align with those of his government...

2 & 3) If you mean in the war zone, there are lucrative jobs like being a mercenary / private contractor which requires almost in all cases previous military experience, or a war correspondent which similarly would demand some experience with journalism, naturally these come with extremely high levels of risk during times of war...

To be honest, if you are in a war zone, not all people have the capability to relocate to another country.
The more practical to do is go to the nearest border of another country and hope that they will accept refugees.
That is, if you have no money to pay for airfare, visa and other docs to go to another country.
This is why a lot are not leaving their war zone country because of financial difficulties.
For businesses, I believe, food is the major concern of these people trapped. However, if they have no money to pay, how can you make business out of it?
440  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you manage your finances and family if your income is low range? on: October 15, 2023, 11:49:53 PM
To be able to manage finances and family with a low income requires careful budgeting and prioritisation. Look to start by creating a realistic budget that accounts for essential expenses like housing, food & your transportation. Look for ways to reduce costs such as cutting back on non essential expenses or finding cheaper alternatives. Take advantage of government assistance programs & community resources that can help with food, healthcare or childcare costs. Communicate openly with your family about the financial situation & involve them in finding creative solutions. Consider seeking additional income through a second job or exploring opportunities to improve your earning potential through education or training.

For one, you need to list all your basic needs for a month and see where you can reduce some of your expenses.
Like for example, your electricity bill, what do you think are the major contributors in your bill and how to lessen it?
When it comes to rent, maybe, if you are renting, assess how much you are currently paying as compared to other cheaper options around your area.
And when you talk about food, how often are you buying from restaurants? Can you make your own food which will incur you lesser expenses?
Those basic necessities alone, will already give you idea how much you can save if you opt to some saving tips.
Afterwards, that's when you look at your daily activities where you are spending extra funds and how to trim it down.
