^^This UFC new situation is really bringing a new game to the table. There were a few places that were working hard on the football teams, there is even a place with 3 sponsorships in premier league, and there are other places as well with football sponsorship, that is what casinos usually do they promote it on the football teams, you can look at the teams logos and you will see that most of it is wagering places as well and that is just normal at this point.

However UFC was never a crypto place, before stake I do not remember there were even talks about crypto, it was totally something else and we were pretty outside of UFC world. With stake not only we got in because we really did got in but then we became predominant in it as well, many fighters, the ring ads and many other stuff, it became really good thing and I am quite happy about it.

There is no way Dortmund would sell Sancho if they sell Haaland, they will not be able to lose both players at the same time. However these are the type of players that will deserve a huge pay raise, and they will ask for it on their next contract for sure, if they sell them right now that would be a big profit for them and if they fail to sell them then they will have to pay them a lot, so one of them will have to leave for sure in order for the other to stay.

They kept talking about how they want to retain Haaland but never seen anything like that on Sancho part, which means United could maybe get Sancho. However that could also be a trick where they say they do not want to sell in order to increase the price, if they are doing that it could make sense, because 150 million from chelsea is a ton of money but they might be asking for even more.

This is the biggest trouble in human history. How do you know if something is a very valuable hard work and something is a useless hard work.

I am 100% sure that someone who works at mcdonalds works much much harder than Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos combined, why? Because those people are actually working and doing something whereas the other two just tells others what they want done and that's it, and for some reason they are richer, not because they are better than anyone else, they did something that eventually worth money by abusing others by using their parents money, sure anyone with low ethics and parent money could have but only these two achieved, yet both Elon and Jeff took money from parents, couldn't fail because they were kept paid by their parents, and then they abused others work tirelessly without chance of union so that they could basically allow tax payers to pay whatever their own workers needed, how is that fair hard work that made them worth so much?

I wish I had the power to cause that impact with such minimal efforts.

Whales have to invest money to create the hype or play down the market but this guy can make a single tweet and achieve the same result if not bigger than the whales.

Imagine how easy it must be for him to make money. Purchase some BTC --> make a tweet in favor of bitcoins --> people go mad and bitcoin goes to moon --> sell the coins take profit --> make a tweet bitcoin is not the future --> market dumps. Rise and repeat the same process.

The real fools are those who buy anything he tweets for and sells anything he tweets against.

Right, I can understand if a kid complains as such but an adult saying he was deceived by a casino doesn't make sense at all. Most of the addicted gamblers are those who are struggling with finances and when they see an ad on TV, emails, messages, etc along with some kind of a free bet offer, they think there is no harm in trying it since they want to fix their financial problems. This is where it all starts and if he wins, he gets greedy while if he loses, would always want to cover his losses and lose more.

The only possible way of avoiding such fate is to gamble when with "spare funds" and make sure you are not chasing your losses because the worst part of gambling addiction is chasing your lost funds. You will 99% of the time end up losing more and stuck within a recovery syndrome.

I will pay $40 every month and manage myself with a smaller budget because I see value in paying $40 since it will one day own me the house and paying rent means I am getting nothing in the long run. I would actually save and pay my mortgage faster to avoid the interest, if applies.

Maybe it is because of the place I live at, it is possible to manage within $60 and some western countries might pick the renting option because they do not want to compromise with their lifestyle. But I don't think paying $15 every month without any kind of goal is worth it. Just by paying $25 more, I am securing a property and the value of that house would be also massive by the time I acquire it.

It is not really a shocking reveal that some people sold, price went lower because some people sold and that was always the case in any drop. However if we could realize that selling doesn't mean giving up, we are going to get much better in the future.

Definitely there could be some people who lost money during this period and some of them probably gave up, that is understandable but the reality is that there are tons of people who didn't give up and who still believes in the future of bitcoin and crypto. That is the most important part, if you believe in crypto then it doesn't matter if you sold right now, as long as you can recover and make it back in the future and you are still interested in the space then it is fine, I am fine with a drop, because it means this drop is just a temporary one.

As a newbie if you can’t tell which projects are scam or legit, then it’s best for you to invest in the old projects. I do understand that a lot of you tend to go for the new projects because you feel that they are cheap and have the possibility of doubling your money in the nearest future. But it doesn’t work like that, sometimes the old projects are the better options to go with, not only are they going to be a safer option, but they are even more likely to give you profit on your investment.

I have not heard about this coin that you are talking about. I think you should do more research on them and check out their team on social media to verify if they are really who they are claiming to be. If you can’t see anything that can convince you that they are legit, then stay off.

Read about this and what happened. The president was threatening some separatist groups in these of the country and then Twitter removed the tweet, and that led to the president getting angry and banning Twitter from the country. Although I wouldn’t really say that Twitter is right about the action they took, but I do understand that they have rules that are against such on their platform, although some people have argued that Twitter is fond of taking sides. And then as for the President of Nigeria, I think if you all are really following up with what has been happening in that country, you all are going to hate that man.

I guess that’s why a lot of people were happy when Twitter deleted that tweet, because almost everybody in that country hates the president and his corrupt cohorts.

There is a thing called SEC and if he manipulates that markets even if it is crypto, if he buys when he says a bad thing and sells when he says a good thing, he will get in trouble, even if we do not know what he does, he will have to publish it on his tax returns if he makes a ton of money. However this dude is one of the richest person alive, at one point he was the richest, and I doubt that he is doing what he is doing for money.

I feel like he doesn't even own any personally, tesla did owned a lot but Elon probably owns not that much, maybe just a bit for testing but not a lot. Which is why I think it is quite important to realize we are not going to see him sell personally. However he will keep on saying bad stuff about it because that gets him attention, and he just wants that spotlight.

Summers are always bad for crypto, I am assuming people are taking out their profits and having fun with it during the summer, let's face it I do not care if your favorite season is winter or whatever but the reality is that people are outside a lot more often during summer and inside a lot more during winter, if the weather is nice and there is sun outside it is a great reason to be outside. Which means people spend more money during summer and less money during winter. That means if people want to cash out something what do you think will be the first one? It will be bitcoin and they just cash out their great profits they made this year and spending that for vacations and so forth to have fun.

I have one vacation (hopefully" this year as well, I saved up some money but unfortunately because of pandemic the prices are sky high so I will instead go to my parents summer house instead, it is still vacation type deal because sea is close so I can swim, but basically I am just at home with my wife instead of a hotel.

Uuhmm some people have said that the layer 2 is still going to be history after sometime, just like it has killed off DeFi, there might another one in future that can come take its place again.

Well, that’s one thing about life, there are always going to be new changes and everybody has to be ready for it.

This layer 2, to me, seems to be pretty good and I am not yet sure of the possibility of it being killed off by another new project, but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible. As usual, everyone should expect the new changes and if you see a new opportunity , try to take it when you have the time before it is late.

That basically shows that all the tokens are still living under the shadow of Bitcoin. There has never been an altcoin that can retain its value when the price for Bitcoins is falling hard. I seriously doubt the altcoin market can survive without their boss bitcoin.

I don't think we can bring stable coins in this discussion because most of the stable coins are backed by fiat and hence they aren't decentralized so their price is controlled by the owners. Secondly, stable coins don't even jump when the whole crypto market is going huge. One thing to note is that stable coins have no market once the altcoins/bitcoins market is gone. No one would buy a USDT unless they have a pair to trade.

There is a good thing and very sad thing when you compare the two. Bitcoin is not any nations currency, it is our currency and when it goes up we are very happy, it doesn't even require dollar to go down in power, dollar could be very powerful and gain value (which rarely ever happens) but bitcoin could go up even more.

However when you do forex that means you are doing it between two nations currency and if you make a profit that means one of the nations gained more power economically while the other one lost it. That is why there is something great about crypto, but a very sad thing about forex. Aside from that forex is a bit more "legit" in the eyes of the banks, you can do it however you want and make a good income or lose a ton but banks will help you, hold your hand while you do that, crypto is all in crypto exchanges and not banks, that is the only difference in trading.

Those signal groups have always been in the danger of those type of moves. I mean what do they look at? They look at the signals very carefully right? After checking what should happen for hours with the data they have in their hands, they make calculated decisions, or they sometimes work weeks and months to build a bot that would tell them exactly when one thing they have been looking for happens, Bollinger band is under 20!! type of deals.

However one tweet from Elon and it's all gone. I have said this to my friend and he just didn't care and kept doing TA and now he lost more money than I did. The only power an investor has, just one thing anyone needs is simple ; be cynical. If you are uncertain about everything and you are not sure about anything that will make you a great investor. Because when someone is suspicious and unsure they will work a lot more and be ready for anything at all times.

If you’re realizing that now, then I’m sorry to say that you’re late lol. I have been saying that for a long time that all those billionaires just wants to take advantage of cryptocurrency’s volatile nature and use it as a means to get even more rich and nothing else.

It’s just like when I saw a tweet that motivated Elon Musk to invest in Bitcoin, it was coming from one of his fellow billionaires (someone posted it here once) and he was telling Elon Musk that he can increase his money within a short time by investing in cryptocurrency and he also asked to meet him to share his portfolio. So that means he already planned all these things before investing. They are all about just making more and nothing else, they don’t care about cryptocurrency.

All of that message could be summed up as "because we are willing to pay to own it" and that's it.

If people want to own a certain thing that means it has value and that is the end of it. There was a funny thing about an art showing having a banana basically taped to wall and it was sold for god knows how many thousands of dollars and some guy just took it and ate it as a fun thing, he was jailed for like a day or two, went to court and something happened, I didn't follow the story after that.

Basically we all know that banana didn't worth that much but people called it art and gave that much valuation. It is not the same in bitcoin, we actually have a reason to use it, but at the end of the day the only thing that makes something valuable is the fact that people are willing to pay for it and that's it. Which is why bitcoin worths something, because we find it valuable.

If people are confusing 1000% with 1000x then I think you should fix your calculation "look" a bit more to make them realize even more How? Well, 4+(4x(1000/100)=44. Which I know is basically the same thing, I mean I just wanted to prevent them from doing 4 times 1000 equals 4000 divided by 100 which is once again 40, and 1000 divided by 100 is 1000% so that is what I was trying to do there, to make that pop up so that they would KNOW what that 1000% is. Don't get me wrong its literally the same, I am just making it obvious for the idiots out there, as a math idiot myself (okay maybe not as idiot as the person who thinks 1000% and 1000x is the same) I would need help with these kinds of stuff as well.

Long story short there will always be idiots, I have seen you face with people who had losing streaks of 10+ losses in a row and blame you for rigging it... I know the kind of people out there.

There is nothing as such, cause if there is, then almost everyone would have that secret and they will be able to know when the market is heading for a fall or rise and will be able to manipulate it with the kind of information they have. So, the market is totally unpredictable.

I am very sure that most of us never even expected the increase that we are seeing at this time, because if you check what happened in 2017 the last bull run, it wasn’t like anything we are seeing now. And imagine the situation the world was in with the pandemic, a bull run was the least on everybody’s mind, but it still happened. That’s to show you that you can’t t predict the market in any way.
