But, I believe all traders can be a successful investors still the vice versa case is not true for most people. This is the reason we do assume like investing and trading are meant for different people. Investing is possible for most people as usually all commodities do gain value over the time but here in crypto space, most altcoins do get delisted from exchanges which again makes investing too hard for anyone.

When we simply choose coins which may not face worst of scenarios then we cab make good profits in long term investing. Bitcoin must be the best for this case. It will never get delisted from anywhere hence making investments will get best ROI over the time.

1. We should trade by our own signal. Some traders here are sharing like they do get signal from telegram or some other group. I guess they will never become a pro trader if they keep depending on others. When you start doing your own analysis then you will slowly becoming more responsible.

2. Having definite budget will always help. Your budget is directly linked to your profit and losses. But traders calculate only profits and rush into trading with big capital but end up in big losses. Keep increasing your capital along with your skill development and experience. Only high experienced traders need more capital and others should trader with least possible capital.

3. Do not be greedy and do not be panic at the same time. Trade always with stable mindset. Your calm and peaceful mindset will maximize your profits.

4. Making use of experience is more important for not repeating same mistakes. When we are good in avoiding mistakes then we can slowly become pro traders. If you are good in avoiding mistakes then you mean you are next to pro trader or pro trader over the time.

Bitinity already answered very well so there is really no need to respond again but I wanted to add couple of things to it. Faucet was never for people who would win a jackpot with it, the idea was not to gamble with it and make money with it, for all intents and purposes you should never make any profit from the free money that you get. Telling a story about how you won a jackpot with it basically is the main reason why stake no longer has faucet, because people won jackpots with it.

Faucets were never meant to make you rich, nor make you money, hence they are gone now because of it, but there is free gambling now if you want. All other reasons are BS as well, if you don't trust it, don't play, if your money ends up zero, don't gamble simple as that.

Pogba is not really a cerebral player, he just has a huge talent that is natural and he definitely worked on it obviously but he just doesn't play with all that fire under him that many major players have, we have seen him do a lot of childish stuff both on Juve and on United as well.

Moreover, we all know he gets injured pretty easily and sometimes he gets "injured" as well. When you have a player like that, paying him this much doesn't really worth it, I personally would prefer to have a player that is less talented that I could use in all games and know what he would bring instead of a bipolar player. So, 72 million dollars right now for Pogba is a lot if you ask me, if Sane worths around 40-50 million, Pogba doesn't worth 72, either change the numbers so Pogba gets 40-50 and Sane gets 72, or make it closer at least.

I personally feel like basketball talent has this subjective part that you could both agree to disagree but also has a level where its stupid. When you say something like Gary Payton was a better player at his peak than Lebron at his peak, thats stupid, thats not subjective in my eye and that's biased, however if you say Mj is better than Lebron or say Lebron is better than MJ that is understandable, you do not have to agree with that person but you could understand why they think that way.

So if you know the level, if you know the small gap between these players, you would understand why one seen above the other. Do not say stuff like I would take Brad Miller over Shaq . But you could say I would take Kobe over Lebron, its those type of things that make the arguments fun as well.

I guess it is happening all around the world as usually authorities/securities are inclined to break rules for bribes and there are high power people who always love have entertainment regardless of whatever situation is going on. I read in my country, alcohol is being distributed with help from authorities and bike racing kind of high violation things also happening.

After easily availability of online gambling through VPN, I believe there should be less violation for gambling purposes in my country. People here are very keen on alcohol consumption compared to gambling. This may be a different situations because I did not meet most of my friends and others to gather such things due to isolation reasons for last 40 to 50 days.

I guess all gambling issues will be auto solved when we are able to stay away from gambling for a week. But, staying away from gambling might require some external help from our family members. I guess people who are living with family or friends may not have any gambling issues. But only for the people who are leading their life alone might get more severely suffered by gambling.

There are lots of methods have been suggested across this forum for gamblers to recover from their problems related to gambling. Still, only for the gamblers who have external support, those suggestions might have been working. Because, without help from family or friends, a gambler never stay away from gambling hence their problems also stay with them.

They want the removal of cash from their system or they want the removal of cash from the system? Your topic and your main post is saying two different things. And anyway, I don't see the possibilities doing that, unless they simply want to create their own cryptocurrency and nothing else. If it's to stop the use of physical money around the world, then that would be a really dumb step to make because it's not going to work.

Even in the developed countries there are lots of people who are still making use of cash and are not interested in anything digital or being done online. It might take more time to convince major percentage of world population not to use fiats, because people got practiced to it for generations regardless of whatever conveniences will be promised with digital things.

I don't really understand it when people are saying that Bitcoin is the future, to be sincere. What future exactly?
That the price will increase and people will make lots of money and later on they will still dump it, or become a future where a lot of people will agree and believe in Bitcoin and start using it for the main purpose it was created for which is peer-to-peer transaction.

So, which one exactly are these people talking about? I really hope that it's going to be the later, because if it's the first, then it's not really worth it because it reaches a level where people can't make profit any longer they will not be interested. But, it would be best to know what it will become when the time comes.

I wouldn't like to discourage you from this, but I still think that if you start this research you're more likely ending up where others stopped theirs. There is really no proof that you can get apart from just making up more assumptions that he's someone he's not. A lot of people have tried to uncover who Satoshi Nakamoto is and they ended up pointing hands at the wrong people and calling the real Satoshi while they are not.

While there are people who have been said to be the Satoshi Nakamoto, there have also been people that came themselves to claim that they are the one lol. I even read an interview with someone that worked with Satoshi Nakamoto in creating the Bitcoin, and he said that he never got to know who Satoshi Nakamoto was till now, and the man was able to cover up his tracks perfectly. So, it's up to you.

It is cool that we managed to go back up and that is really valuable honestly. I was thinking maybe people could have been disappointed when something like this happens because people do expect a lot of moves. I remember from Libra to Bakkt there was a lot of hype and people bought a lot of bitcoin and none of that happened people sold and price went down a lot.

I was afraid that the halving would have been something like that as well. Thankfully it wasn't like that at all and right now it is getting a lot better right now and price reached to 10k almost and that's cool. Of course there could still be some lows and some highs as well, I don't know what will happen in the future at all but I know that we are doing good right now and that is kinda good enough for me.

I love the dude, and he is one of the most influential person in the crypto world, I will not deny it. However, let's be real about some facts, this dude was doing something illegal with crypto, he was even allowing others to do something illegal with his illegality, thanks to him people could stay anonymous while doing illegal stuff as well.

I am not saying what he did was wrong or right, moral of the story is to each of their own and that is not my place to judge what he did, but there is no denying that it was actually against the laws hence illegal. Ever since the dude was jailed, bitcoin skyrocketed like crazy, him going away opened the way for bitcoin to move from "thing people use to buy drugs" to "things people invest to make money" and that is why I think he might not be feeling to kindly of us who are going on after he left.

Excitement will continue for at least a year, people will continue to talk about how miners are not making as much as they used to, plus the price will continue to increase the less people are selling and people ARE selling less since there is less mined.

I don't know how much people are trading bitcoin per day because there are so many fake volumes right now in the world that I don't know which one is actually real and which one is fake, however I am pretty sure the amount we are not mining per day means to something eventually. Hence how could the excitement could be over when halving continues, the drop is over and now we are mining half, but we are mining half all the time so that means if you are excited about the halving, you should still be happy because its still halved.

Just within 2 days after the halving, it seems bulls are back into action unlike what we had in 2016 and I guess this might be the simple signal we must read about how stronger bulls may turn this time around. There are 2 backing reasons for expecting bulls to go more harder than ever.

1. For the first time in 10+ years of bitcoin history, block rewards are now less than 10 bitcoins. I mean block-rewards are no more an attractive criteria for any new businessman to get into mining business. They may simply opt for buying bitcoins rather than thinking about setting up a new mining industry. Same applicable for those cooperates who are already into mining process; we may assume like they may not re-invest more in expanding their mining plants but they may focus on saving bitcoins.

2. In less than 11 years, around 88% of total bitcoin supply were mined out and only ~12% of total bitcoins are remaining to be mined but it may take another ~120 years to complete.

If you closely notice, both of my points are saying same thing; we are going to start experiencing the actual inflationary property of bitcoins here after. Do not be surprised if you happen to see a new ATH before end of this month.

If there are less IQed whales like MTGOX treasurer who still look for cashing out their stash around $10k then we may face some delay but nothing may stop bitcoin to have new ATH in coming months. Bitcoin is going to break all its previous traditions like having new ATH around Christmas/New year, it is time for newer things for everything. Get ready for travelling to stars .

If they were able to handle the first breakout, they will also be able to handle the next breakout in their country. And moreover, China still has a really strong market. They have been making huge sales of health materials such as ventilators, face masks, tests and a lot more.

Ever since this Coronavirus outbreak I have been seeing a lot of news on countries making huge orders from sellers in China and it's really a huge amount of money. So, the way I see it their economy might still be growing at this time. That shows the importance of a country having a strong production. If other countries are producing these things by themselves they wouldn't have to bother much.

It is in situations like these that you will understand the government does not really care about the people, they just do whatever they feel is right and not what's going to benefit the people rightly.

I am hoping that at this time it's going to be a different case, they should really learn to consider and do things in a way that the poor masses will be able to cope with it. And it's not just about the government , we the people should as well do things in our own little ways to help others, we all need that help right now, much more in this difficult situation.

I would definitely suggest you listen to your brother and invest into both of them. I mean right now we are living in a situation where it is definitely wiser to diversify your money because one thing could always crash for any reason, in that case you would want your money to be diversified in many stuff so that if one thing crashes you will still be safe.

I would even go as further as saying that do not even just pick those two, pick probably at least 10 coins, even 20 coins if you can and put your money in all of them. That way you are putting your income at risk if one goes super high and you would be of course sad that not all your money there, but when you see one of them crash and be worthless, you will realize its awesome that you weren't all in on that.

Coingecko "knows" that it is a fake volume but they can't really reach to everyone at all the times and not as active as CMC because their job is harder to figure out who is right and who is fake. So, basically cmc and coingecko is used for different stuff if you ask me.

If you simply want to check the prices of the big currencies, you do not have to check coingecko because it doesn't offer anything new. Let's say you want to check bitcoin price for the past 3 months, you can do that on CMC easily, its right there, you can do that on coingecko as well, so there is really no difference when you are doing something as mainstream as that. However if you want to do something like checking a smaller coin, or checking a fake volume, that is where coingecko puts its difference.

North Korea is not a socialist country at all? They are a dictatorship, no dictatorship could be socialism, it could be communism if you want to call it? Communism doesn't have anything against the dictatorship and one person ruling, however socialism is literally when everyone has a say in the management and when you have one person rule over everyone that is not very equal rights is it?

If you want to show the north Korea as a socialism bad then I could basically say that Nazi Germany was capitalist as it gets and they did what they did, UK was capitalism as well and killed millions all around the world as well. So, as you can see there are big examples for everyone that could be wrong.

Socialism is not even enough, that is too much, you have to be democratic socialist to give people the right to give up that if they want to, hence everyone gives examples from Scandinavia, because you can turn that country into rightist extremist Christian nation with just one elections if you vote a party like that, it gives you that right, people prefer Democratic socialists and that is why they are like that but they are not forced to be like that, they are given the options.

But, recent studies show that covid19 is no more a pandemic as the death rate is lowering every part of the world. Some countries started to treat the covid19 patients within their home as they do have only fever and and other usual symptoms which are known to be cured with home remedies. So, I guess we do not need to panic anymore on the declared pandemic. This may be due to the drastic continuous mutation of covid19 virus; after multiple hundreds of mutation, probably it has become less dangerous or human being might have developed stronger immunity.

Governments may start relaxing lockdown restrictions so that people may get back to their works for their survival.
