I used to have a blog too and I stopped as well and I can tell you my reason, no idea why he stopped but I am guessing it could be a similar reason as well. First of all, it requires a lot of work to keep doing it, even if you end up writing just one post per day, that is a lot of work, and most share multiple posts a day, there are big websites that posts 10 posts a day, you are competing against these people and having even one blog post per day is hard, 10 is near impossible for a single person, if you have multiple websites, calculate how much more posts.

Secondly these other companies and websites spend a lot more on marketing, so you have to spend more as well, and that causes a trouble as well and you can't afford it. So, it becomes near impossible to fight against these giants, and even when you work and spend money, you may end up not getting much in return.

I agree that it is not really about having zero emotions, it is about not to care about your emotions and ignore them when you are trading. Are you afraid? Will you trade based on your fear or will you ignore the fear? That is all that matters, if you can do that then emotions you feel do not matter at all, they are not part of the calculation.

However, if you let your emotions run through you and you end up working hard for it, then I would say it could ruin everything you have worked for and you would make a big loss, I would suggest highly against that as much as possible and it would be a lot better if you could completely ignore them.

Basically it should be in a way that you should be still proud of what you have if it goes up. Like for example lets say you invested 20k and bought a bitcoin, then it went to 40k, you could sell half of it, get your money out, so you won't be losing anything at all, rest could do whatever it wants, go up or down or whatever and you should be still keeping it.

That way, not only you are protecting yourself from a future loss, but you are also making sure that you could profit from going even further up, like if it does another 2x on top of that, which is possible, you still have 40k invested and yet your 20k is out which would be pretty sweet.

To be fair, Lehman Brothers bankrupted itself, but others picked up what they had and continued. Even the building they worked in got sold, and their names and offices and business' that they had, all of that was sold to others and that money was used to pay off the people they had debts to, and that means only Lehman Brothers got screwed because of this.

They did it unto themselves, a big attack could always result with some companies bankrupting because they do not have enough income to pay off their debts, which means they weren't ready for a bad situation. I believe we do not have that right now, Binance is good, and they do not have to worry about this attack at all.

Admire people who own NFT's? What is this 2021? I think people mock others who own NFT's at this point because it makes no sense. I understand sidechains, not bitcoin getting forked or anything, but we have one chain that is segwit which gets a bulk load right now and we need to have a few layers on there to make sure that it works better, and that is understandable.

But aside from that, I do not think that it should be that complicated for bitcoin to go up, it is a good project and everyone trusts it and from people who have 10 dollars to people who have 10 billion dollars, they all want to be part of it so I think it shouldn't be hard for it to reach 10 million eventually.

That is true but that is not going to happen at all, we are not going to see governments say that bitcoin is better than gold. What we could see however is governments end up saying bitcoin is good, not say better than gold but saying it is good. If that ever happens I agree that what you said may happen and I am rooting for that right now.

Look at El Salvador, they basically said bitcoin is awesome, and if something even remotely close happens with bitcoin as well, then we are going to see it do so much better. We just need to have a situation where we trust bitcoin and its future and that would be a lot better for all of us at the same time.

You are considering bitcoin as just an investment, but you should realize that it is also currency. Let me explain as the most known thing here; signature campaigns. With them you get paid in bitcoin right?

Of course you do not get paid a ton, and it is around 80 to 100 dollars a week, and that is at max 400 dollars a month, and that is not enough for majority of the world outside of just few poor nations, none of us could live with that, but it is there, so it shows that there is a chance you could work and earn it. I believe that if we can do this, then there are other jobs and bitcoin could put food on your table, and that is the best thing about it.

I agree and I am a bitcoin supporter and I believe that is exactly the situation we are in right now. I know not many people agree with me, but I believe that we shouldn't be shocked to see it go up a lot more. I know it looked a bit weaker recently after that increase, everyone expected it to be a lot higher and when it didn't moved that much higher many people were disappointed about it, but I think it is quite understandable why people didn't trust it that much and why they did not see it go up.

Not enough people believed in the bull run, and even though we are still 21k+ which is 5k+ more than the bottom, there are still many who do not trust the increase, and that's an issue.

I think USDT is considered a "security" if they were as business as Binance, the difference is that USDT is not a company based out of USA, but binance.us is, and they are owned by Binance, and they control the whole of BUSD, not the same thing.

Obviously still terrible that they could make it like that, and I think they are basically saying "if we can't control you, we will punish you" and nothing more, and CZ knows this and will move towards more VPN side and not really care about what they say, because freedom to do whatever you want instead of doing what government wants will be a better profit maker for them. This is why they do not look worried about this at all.

How can we earn a crypto if we don't believe at it? But, to be able to earn we must believe on it first because this was the only way for us to buy and hodl them. The OP is not into forex but he only applied what he learned to it and it work. Well, that's no surprise because like you said all of them have the same rules and that is to buy low and sell high.

Since the OP just learned forex, why can't he just try it as well right? Because even though they have the same rules, their market is still different from each other. what I know is that stocks and forex market are more stable but crypto market is highly volatile. It's much riskier in short so it would be better to diversify to cut the risk.

It is legal but subject to your daily/weekly/monthly withdraw or deposit limits. All the above, if you do like you have mentioned, did you calculate how long such price differences will exist? In most cases, if you buy/sell in large quantity then prices in both the exchanges will converge as early as possible. When the price gap is not significant or not enough for covering for the fees to pay for placing orders (buy and sell), withdrawing from an exchange and network tx fees then there will be no point of planning for buying in one exchange and selling in other exchange in larger quantity.

When something like this is not feasible in large quantity, most people do not like to go for it in even in small quality as well due to the hassles involved in moving funds from one exchange to another. Probably you may try for it in small quantity if you have funds initially in both of the exchanges initially (to save time by not waiting for network confirmation before gaps disappear) and if you are KYC verified (for ensuring not getting locked while withdrawing).

Or maybe he is just bad at picking an altcoin? Those coins are not risky before but maybe they are now today since their hype have gone and then there are so many negative impressions about them. If we want a big profit in the future then it's not an altcoin that can give it to us because we are not sure about their future but the ones that can full it is Bitcoin.

Sure, there are big alts like ETH which can also last longer but I am sceptical if it will pumped high as Bitcoin especially now that it had gone bad due to its latest transition from POW to POS. We are now close to the Bitcoin bull run so there is no need to ride the hypes of other coins and take big risks.

We have seen so many "most used" before that went down. BCH for example was a top 5, even a top three at some point coin, look where it is now. USDT could be most used as of right now, but that doesn't change the fact that it is both losing attention towards others now, and people are fearing stablecoins a lot more now.

Combine those two and you will see that USDT and all the other stablecoins will lose some attention in the near future and we shouldn't be really trusting them. I personally do not trust them and I am not planning on trusting them in the future neither. If something is not decentralized, it doesn't worth investing into if you ask me.

I agree that it was isolated, and not the whole market, but we shouldn't say there are no others neither, there are some which could be considered doing something like this.

FTX bankrupted, and they basically "stole" everyone's money, they didn't really steal it but used it without consent, but not for like buying villas and super cars or something, they used it to grow the business and invest in other things, so they could make more profit, but in reality they didn't make any profit and when people wanted to withdraw, they couldn't. Long story short, this type of thing happened before and will happen again, it is not the whole market, but it is not rare neither unfortunately.

I could agree with you about the fact that iPhone is definitely loved by many, but one of the other reasons for this is that there are other competitions which are getting better. Samsung is a great phone brand right now that already does so many things better than an iphone does, they have phones which are both at high end, but also phones that are brand new and yet cheap.

That allows people to not spend a lot of money, if I want to buy a brand new iphone 14, I would have to spend three times more than what a cheap samsung would be and I rather not spend that, but if I want to  spend a lot, there are better samsung phones than iphone 14 as well. That plays a role in the drop of the sales.

At least something positive happening for the Pakistan cricket even things are not solid like we have in other leagues due to security reasons but they are still going to play 8th edition of PSL after few days and few foreign players also will be involving in this which is not bad at all with this all they are currently considered in top five leagues which is also good.

If Pakistan is having some better economical and political stability then surely this league can go above up to second spot after IPL because after India, Pakistan is second populated country in cricketing world with 220 Million population, and they have good fan-base in the Middle East and UK which is helpful for having good viewership for this league, yeah hopefully things could be better in the near future.

There is no doubt about South African quality and home advantage specially after beating India in TRI series few days back but today Sri Lankan women's stun the cricketing world and win their first match in ICC Women's T20 World Cup by just 3 runs as South African's were chasing 130 runs targets were not able to do this and have 126 for 9 wickets with this performance they lost inaugural match of this world cup and now have no chance for the qualifying to semifinal as we have New Zealand and Australians in this group as well.

After winning toss South African women's decide to bowl first which was good decision as their bowlers not allowed Sri Lankan women's to score freely, and they are able to score on 129 runs with the lost of 4 wickets Captain Chamari Athapaththu leads from front and score 68 runs on just 50 balls with the help of 12 fours in reply South African batsmen lost regularly their wickets and at the end not able to achieve this target and lost this first match by 3 runs.

I agree to this a lot, I know that I will be able to use decentralized methods as much as I could, but there will be some time when I will be forced to use CEX one way or another. The most common of this is turning my fiat into bitcoin or turning my bitcoin into fiat.

We haven't figured out a way to make that decentralized, and it would be followed by governments anyway, they will know. This is why it could never be 100% anonymous for me, there could be some people who could try to achieve that, but I won't be one of those people and millions of crypto users are just like me. It's fine though, it's not really the point for me, I don't need anonymous, I need decentralized bitcoin with no government controlling it.

I think that's not really true for many nations as of right now, there are many nations which are either very pro-crypto, such as El Salvador, or there are some nations that just have rules in place enough to make it work like USA, sure they do not have all the needed laws yet, but they have some laws and regulations which allows companies like Coinbase and Kraken to be there.

I believe that the best thing to do right now is to keep it going as it is to make sure it keeps growing. Bitcoin growing is not the point, companies that are related to bitcoin growing is the point, if Coinbase becomes bigger, that can only help Americans and they should aim at that.

That is something so simple and yet so difficult for some people. Bitcoin is by far the safest and best option that anyone has, and I do see those people who make 100x profits and all that, but that doesn't change the fact that it is incredibly rare, why risk it. I think it's much better if we could just focus on making money the way we know how, which is bitcoin, you could add ETH to that as well if you want but that's it.

I do not think that chasing that 100x from the "gems" in altcoin world is a smart decision, it would be very difficult to find, and there is a likely chance that you could buy a shit meme token that will go to zero very quickly.
