2101  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Meme coin caused Solana price to rise by 40% in a week on: January 05, 2023, 08:33:34 PM
Good thing is you know that it's all hype and hype isn't something that's long-lasting. Whether it's good for Solana or not does not really matter because we are still in a bear market. I sense some sort of pump and dump scheme going on and members who FOMO out to be very careful with this or else the pumpers and dumpers will profit from you leaving you holding bags of shitcoins.
People who are interested in this will end up with buying more, and it could all be because of a hype and doesn't mean it will drop neither. Maybe some rich whale saw it and liked it and bought some to store it aside as well, who knows? That's why it's much better if we could end up investing into SOl when we see it low, not when it jumps up this big, it just doesn2t make sense to do that.

I know it's not as simple as people make it out to be, it takes a while for it to be settling again back to where it was, or maybe it won't but I definitely disagree with anyone who wants to buy it now when it is high, should have done it two weeks ago when it was low and sell now when it's high.
2102  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The NFT hype makes Opensea rich on: January 05, 2023, 02:29:54 PM
Of course, with this NFT Hype, several NFT marketplaces have started to soar and one of them is Opensea.
Openseea became very busy with the NFT Hype even Opensea's All-Time NFT Sales Volume Passed $20 Billion since they were created in 2017.
Of course, this is an extraordinary record for them because they are now one of the leading markets now and outperform its current competitor, NFT Looksrare.
Opensea deserves every single dime they have because during the NFT period they became so big that everyone else wanted to copy them and be big but nobody passed them. There were some competitions like rarible and all and they were big too, not like they were small but they didn't catch up with Opensea.

This is a success story and if they are good enough to be the biggest during a period like this then there is nothing else we should be worried about. They deserved their time at the top, but now NFT is not that big and I am sure they are still making more money even on their worst days than I would make in a year but they are not making the peak neither anymore.
2103  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A Fools Gold on: January 05, 2023, 01:52:25 PM
I can imagine a large clustercrap of scammers spreading around crypto to take advantage of people right now. Especially in this trying times, I expect a lot of projects trying to just steal money from investors and if this was 2017, I would imagine ICOs just popping around in this board randomly.
This is why I stopped believing in ICOs back in 2018 after just one failed me. I just knew it would end in a wrong way and it will be a troublesome for me.
It is obvious that economy is bad, and people who are not good at their jobs, or people who are not good for any job at all, will end up trying to work towards scamming people. Think about it, aside from being believable, it requires you to have zero skills, you don't have to have any type of talent at all and you could make millions from it if you are good at it as well.

The worst thing to do right now is to believe people who tell you that you could make so much money from small cap stuff. Like "it is only 10 cents now, imagine if it goes to 100 dollars each!" type of talks are obvious ways to see something as scam or not, and anyone who says that will be promoting a scam.
2104  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin Die or Pump Up in 2023? on: January 05, 2023, 06:43:01 AM
According to Elon Musk, the price of Bitcoin will increase by the end of winter.  And we should not lose hope.  We have to harden our minds.  And everyone needs to hold on to Bitcoin tightly so that it doesn't get traded away from the market.  Whoever has the amount of BTC deposited, rest assured.  And wait, something good will come inshallah.  Inshallah BTC price will increase by mid 2023.  And I believe in Elon Musk's words, so you should continue to believe.  The price will definitely increase.
https://imgur.com/a/XFaaPeI
Elon's words have little impact now compared to before when he is at his peak. Many do not believe what he always says now. It's better if you believe in your knowledge and guts rather than listening to someone. Remember they also have a motive that's why they are saying such things.
It's basically a "wish" I suppose, because it is a wish for me as well and I do believe that to be important case. The idea is that many people want it to be the main currency and not some alternative. I do not think that it matters that much, because it causes it to be a bit of a trouble if you just let it be that way, and alternative is better.

But, it could be a bigger alternative that's for sure, like at least have the option for it in more places instead of the few selected places so far. I know it is not loved that much to be this way, but it would be a lot better if we grow and yet still not be the main one, there is that middle ground which we would do best.
2105  Economy / Speculation / Re: How we know btc not going to 100$ ?? on: January 04, 2023, 10:11:35 PM
if you come to understand the thread and my answer then you will learn that this is what General messages means lol.

What we wanted to tell you here ? is that if bitcoin is going to  dump 100 then the possibilities of turning zero is also there lol.

please be mind checking the post completely and understanding before bringing this here out.
I mean the idea that it could be that low is of course a theory and not a reality, and it is such an impossible thing for most people that people try to not see that as a possibility at all, and they see that as the point of it. Obviously it is not going to happen and it is going to be a bit of a problem in the long run to not even have a theory discussion but it is what people focus on.

I think the answer is that "we do not know" as anyone who would understand the question, but I also agree with people who just can't go over the fact that there is a possibility according to some people, and I think even though we don2t know, the idea is just too far off from reality.
2106  Other / Archival / Re: Long-term Bitcoin accumulation continues on: January 04, 2023, 09:33:04 PM
It's hard to trust Altcoins, even with thousands of fraudulent projects spread, only Bitcoin is the safest place to invest. I mean safe from this type of fraud under the guise of a new project. I'm not too focused on dropping money on altcoins, and right now the accumulation of BItcoins in 2023 is very profitable apart from the price point of view but the remaining time to welcome ATH is still enough to collect more preparations.
The problem with the word "altcoin" is that "babydogeelonflokishiba token" and ethereum are both called altcoin. I do not agree with you on saying all alts like that, I think ethereum and bnb are good, but that doesn't mean that I disagree with you when it comes to shitcoins like outside of top 1000 type of stuff.

This is why I believe that we shouldn't be really considering all alts the same. Bitcoin is by far the best, it is just unbelievable to me that people are not accumulating bitcoin right now, some do but the whole world should do it, every single person who doesn't makes a mistake if you ask me, but I believe it wouldn't be bad to get some ETH neither.
2107  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will it be profitable for the business? on: January 04, 2023, 07:45:00 PM
I think it's better for the price of the goods you are going to sell to have a benchmark with stable coins or fiat currency is the solution in my opinion, so you can receive payments in Bitcoin but the price remains in fiat currency, just like we accept payments from signature campaigns on forums Currently, payment uses bitcoin but is pegged to fiat currency.
I think it's easier for you to set the price of goods, so fluctuations that occur in bitcoin or another crypto you can adjust the amount of Bitcoin itself with the price benchmark that you make with Fiat.
It's keeping it in the books that's the problem. Let's assume I buy something for 100 dollars and sell it for 300 dollars, I have some costs as well, so that means I make about 100 dollars profit, but what if bitcoin drops 50%? The ones in my books end up being less valuable and I wouldn't be able to rebuy the same inventory and I would lose money on that.

This is why many people say just put the profits into bitcoin and rest should be fiat, even if you sell it for bitcoin, automatically turn that into fiat and whatever is your profit, you could put it in bitcoin. In that case even if it drops, that was your money that you invested, and can wait longer to make more profit.
2108  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are your wishes for BTC in coming years? on: January 04, 2023, 07:02:42 PM
For sure many of us would wish for this technology to be accepted by more countries as a mode of payment. But I'd also add that I wish to remove all of the misconceptions about bitcoin for more people to recognize its usage and to lessen the number of people being a victim of volatility in its price because they lack the knowledge. As more people are knowing this technology, there is also a growth with the articles and topics which could give awareness towards non-crypto users. And if this progressive development would continue, I believe that it would yield for a betterment of this technology in general.
Having some sort of misunderstanding what bitcoin is all about is the core of our problem. There are still too many people who think that bitcoin was created to get them rich, which it wasn't created for, in fact the price didn't even matter at all when it was first created.

The whole idea was to have the strongest possible security ever for any currency in the world while also having the easiest possible method to move it all around the world easily and for cheap while being fast. Did it achieve that? It did, so adoption matters more than the price, and keeping the transaction fee to a lower level would be the next step, not increasing the price to make us rich.
2109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: January 04, 2023, 05:52:23 PM
I think the three runs in the 18th over was that match for India. Sri Lanka should have done better in that over. And obviously, the top order of Sri Lanka failed to some extent.

But after all, I think Sri Lanka was unlucky. Because India also had a period when the top order did not perform very well in this match. But whenever the match comes down to a 1 or two-run win, that team is certainly lucky to win that match. But after all that single over towards the end, the 18th over was the match in my opinion. That shifted the momentum towards India.
No doubt early quick wickets done damage for them, but they fight back with good performance from captain Shanaka with the help from Wanindu Hasaranga and Chamika Karunaratne specially Karunaratne done good job in last few overs but sadly unable to handle situation clearly in last over even he hit six on the third ball of 20th over which give clearly advantage to Sri Lanka but Axer Patel keep his cool which helps him for giving narrow win to his team by just 2 runs.

Sri Lanka lost their match in last three balls because while they have eight runs from first three balls things looking easy, but sadly they are unable to take advantage and cool Indians keep their nerve which helps them for having this thrilling win and lead in this series.
2110  Other / Archival / Re: [POLL]What do you expect from Bitcoin in 2023? on: January 04, 2023, 11:00:23 AM
The next target now is 13k and yes it is possible and also may never come to reality, instead of trying to see how this will go it is better to start accumulating right now, things happen very fast in this market that's why it's dangerous to believe that you can find the bottom.

I am not expecting anything big this year and this may be the final bearish year for crypto since halving is in 2024 so I will just keep buying what I can and prepare for the future.
I feel like something like 13k is near impossible unless some huge news comes out. Like if we see Binance go the way FTX did then I can understand it but aside from that I am not expecting anything like that.

It is clear to me that the best thing to do would be having 16k+ as the base for this year and then go up from there most probably. Nothing special, not expecting ATH or anything, but I am not expecting any new bottom neither, just because we are near the bottom people think we could break under it, but being close means it is also at the hardest point to crack under as well, all the sellers already sold, we need new sellers for it, and that's tough.
2111  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Those who survived previous winter, please share some courage! on: January 04, 2023, 09:08:04 AM
Those who've seen previous bear markets, survived several winters, please share some hope and courage.
This is not the end, right?
When people were speculating about bottoming out around $10k levels, bitcoin never stayed below $15k levels for days which is the simple confirmation that we are having 'enough' supporters to prevent further falling. So, you can assume that the current bearish trend is just part of cycle bitcoin market which will end soon and the bulls will come to action very soon.

In 2014 and in 2018, we had experiences similar year long downfall market conditions and you must be aware of where we hit in 2021 among pandemic and slow economic situations (you can assume about same scenario for normal world economy). So, current trend is temporary and will pass on soon. If you have funds, buy the dips and hold tight.
2112  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Anyone out there doing money by trading? How? on: January 03, 2023, 08:23:52 PM
Professional traders know how to diversify their money, they are not doing pure trades most of them play longer and that's why they succeed because they already master their strategy and control their emotion right. I have a friend who are fully dependent to trading, he's still single so he can still afford to take such risk and I think this will also depend on your status in life. Trading in long term is not that profitable because of many reason, investors says trading is not profitable because you are selling good coins early instead of holding it, while trader says its profitable because they are able to meet their goal for the whole month. Profit will always depend on how you see it, so better to know your goal first.
Professional traders do this for a living and have a good amount of capital to wait it out if they ever do something wrong for a short period of time. Look at wall street and you will know what I mean, those people do not end up investing into things for just a day, and if they do daily trades which some of them do, they do not do it based on small mistakes that could become huge and bankrupt them, even the biggest ever 2008 didn't crash them, all of the continue.

So that means the best thing we could ever do would be having a big capital to be a great trader, if that is not available to us then we shouldn't really have hopes about such things at all.
2113  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are your thoughts on revenge trading? on: January 03, 2023, 07:18:11 PM
I have never heard of anything Regarding Revenge trading. I have seen that some people who use a lot of High leverage end up using blowing off their accounts. And that ahs been happened to me 2 times in almost 2 years. And I ended up loosing so much money that I saved.
Yeah, leverage trading is high risky one and what OP is demonstrating here is revenge which is different from leverage still risk-wise same. I mean revenge is kind of chasing your losses like trying for quick recovery without proper preparation. In trading we should not rush to open trade regardless of a fresh trade or a trade for recovering losses. If we open a trade after proper analysis then there will be no room for revenge.

If you lost money on one trade, considering it to be a spot trade, you defenitely have a chance of getting it back but it will cost time.
Lack of patience lead to losses even in spot trading. Rushing to make profits leads to losses and lands into recovery phase where the actual 'revenge' starts.
2114  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Most newbies don't know this on: January 03, 2023, 06:24:04 PM
Whatever you are doing, you should really protect your private keys at all cost because if you didn’t protect it, expect that hackers can easily get your hard earned money and your crypto. Multi-wallet in Trustwallet gives you another keys though every time you create one, you just have to understand it to avoid any confusion like this.
It's true that it's very important to protect private keys and I don't think anyone should ever know about that unless you really trust someone,
besides that we also have to be vigilant because hackers are getting smarter and have new ways
It's not even easy to protect it on your pc anymore, and even hardware wallets are attacked, even if they can't take it from you by force or hacking, they will use social hacking and make a project that looks real and potentially something that can make you rich, get you to invest and steal all the money and this is done daily, so you have to be always on the look out.

Simple solution is to buy strong and trusted coins and not invest into anything else and put it on your ledger and just take it out of your pc, put it somewhere safe in your room and hide it. If you do this, you are 100% protected, but everything else you do will make it harder.
2115  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The best altcoin to look out for on: January 03, 2023, 03:52:52 PM
As a new trader I would like to know from our experts, the altcoins with good potentials in this 2023.
One simple trick, you must need to consider is, look at the coins/tokens which are backed by some real work usage. Elon is pumping dogecoins by hyping it with news of accepting dogecoins for his ventures. So, it is backed some real world usage.

Another example is, exchange tokens are backed by discount offers by same exchanges. We can trade them with the confident of continuous demand. So, instead of depending on only technical analysis, if you go along with fundamental things as well then your chances for enjoying consistent profits will be better than technical only based traders. Plan up and enjoy!
I think he doesn't really hype it with real working usage at all. I understand that some people expect him to do it, but he won't do it. The only thing he could ever possibly do would be "you can buy twitter tick with doge as well" and that is not really a working usage, I can do that with fiat too, it is just adoption and not utility.

Utility is like how you use ETH for all the erc20 token movements and you need to spend that ETH so you need to buy it which creates a buying pressure and because of all the nft+defi+dex type of period we have seen ETH do a big ATH, since everyone bought it. That is a real utility and doge has nothing close to that and will never have one.
2116  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty hunters, how much you really earned in the last two years? on: January 02, 2023, 08:24:42 PM
I open bounty forums every day, but I don't think I can start, I don't know how to choose the right one. I have very little experience and am still learning. I hope that the projects I find can last for a long time. See everyone discussing that the bounty campaign was the peak six or seven years ago...
You can do any campaign you want. There are not so many bounty campaign right now to be extra selective. Only few new campaign appear every day, so test your luck with each and every of them.
Just plain numbers - I have earned few hundreds during 2022, but I was selective and probably participated in 15 or 20 campaigns only. I have earned several thousands in 2021, but I think I took part in 50+ social media campaigns. In 2023 - you should join every single bounty to get any significant result.
The difference between 2021 and 2022 is clear to everyone, this year has been shitty for me and I haven't made much, hundreds as a total for contributing to maybe two dozen different ones, back in the day I would make hundreds from each I contributed and right now it is not like that at all.

I believe that the best thing to do about the current situation is just to focus on how we could fix these things, and how we could just participate in crypto as a way to make money by working, and if they do not pay us well then we should not participate at all and when they see this, they will have to offer more or just don't do it, we would at least save our efforts.
2117  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price, January. $20000 or above possible? on: January 02, 2023, 06:35:31 PM

Will bitcoin price increase in January?
Is bitcoin getting back to $20000 in January or not?
I can see that not all investors, especially those who have lost their money in the FTX scam exchange have moved on and forgotten about it. They are still in the recovery stage and this could be one factor that holds them to invest for now due to continuous decline after a huge surprise. I can't make myself not lose hope but as the current situation remains like this ( low demand), I would say reaching $20k this month is quite impossible. But of course, I won't say it never happens, yet we just need more time and maybe this will happen before the 1st quarter end.
I think no matter how much they focus on it, eventually they will have to move away from it one way or another. I get that they might still be in recovery mode, and some maybe not even recover ever because they lost a lot, this is billions we are talking about after all so there will be a lot of people who will be forever gone but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with such a big drop neither, it is going to be not matter.

I personally feel like those are not the people we are looking at, we are looking at something like having a good amount of approach from the big hedge funds and so forth, if they do that then they can start the bull run for sure.
2118  Economy / Speculation / Re: 2023 Bitcoin can take a position discussion. on: January 02, 2023, 05:51:22 PM
How to put this in simple words? I think we should leave bitcoin on it's own.
(.....)
This is how it must be, but the market is being the market. No one is an excuse. The best thing here that Bitcoin is still running, even how much percentage Bitcoin already lost from its peak, Bitcoin is still here even though there are a lot of centralized exchanges that are already shutting down. That's what I can see, it means people still trust Bitcoin.
The "discussions" are the reason why we are not entirely sure what's going to happen. If we would just buy and hold and leave, then when we come back we could find it doing great as well but because we do not want to and we end up with making some mistakes along the way because we keep staying on top of it, that causes a lot of trouble.

I believe that the best thing to do right now would be staying away discussing bitcoin prices, it is not going to impact the price just because we talked about it so what's the point on investing AND talking about it. Just get some, then go watch some movies, eventually it will get better one day and then you can sell.
2119  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: January 01, 2023, 10:49:23 AM
India is obviously not going to create any problems by themselves. They are going to always try to stay on the neutral ground by themselves. So as far as I understand if they do something like opposing the Afghan players trying to play in the IPL it is going to cause some problems between the Indian government and the current Afghan government. Because I believe the Afghan players playing in the IPL are going to bring in money for Afghanistan as a country and also the cricket of Afghanistan is going to improve. But the Taliban are not going to like the idea of players not being able to play in the IPL. And India suddenly does not want that right now because they have a lot of their own problems to fix.
But, what will happen is also surely unpredictable because things are changing very quickly in world so many decisions are making mess up like we have in this case as well but most chances things could be improved in near future with Taliban are looking for support which is not coming as they are doing things but as we all now situation is changing in neighbouring country Pakistan hopefully things could be beneficial for India in Afghanistan as well.

India is big country, and now they have ability to lead in Asia as well which is important for the balance of power China is taking few benefits but most chances things could be changed for India as well in Afghanistan, and they will be able to play their positive role in This region which will increase their strategic partnership in Afghanistan, and they will again play their sports in India as well with most chances we will have cricket and soccer in near future.
2120  Economy / Economics / Re: Save your environmental economic cycle on: December 31, 2022, 01:15:34 PM
Okay, maybe most people complain about conventional stores because the prices offered are higher than the prices offered by online stores, it's natural for you to be in a situation like now, economic turmoil occurred in various industrial sectors and was accompanied by inflation. definitely looking for the best price to save money in the current circumstances.
After I read the book a few days ago, it turned out that it is normal for a business to be disrupted by new innovations and if for business people to be unable to balance or adapt to changing times.
The weird thing about where I live is that online stores have higher price in our culture because it means they are providing an extra service. Yes I know that if you go to a store and buy something, the store would have to pay rent and salaries and bills etc etc, whereas if it's just a warehouse, it's cheaper because instead of 20 stores and 200 workers, they could have 1 warehouse and 10 workers and they could reach out to everyone.

However, they are saying between shipping and providing you with sizes (if you buy a clothing and it's too small, you can send it back and get a bigger size) and you not being needed to leave your house and all, these are all extra services instead of you leaving house and going to a store and trying and buying and coming back, so they charge higher for online stores.
