Yeah, risks are inevitable but let's admit it that it's better to use different strategies in trading than only sticking into one. This allows us to stay consistent when trading no matter what the conditions on the market are. Experienced traders are more knowledgeable but this can make their ego go higher. They may also use larger amounts of money within their trades so I won't say that their risk are only small.

Even we all have those positive traits you mentioned above, I think we can't erase the fact that we are still gamblers because the market can still move on their own most of the times. There is no way to predict them accurately.

I am guessing that it would be even further ahead in the banking system world, because in the banking system you could still "hide" some stuff, like show as if you have a loan from a bank, when in reality someone else deposited laundered money for you, and basically you are using bank as a front.

You think that might be low chance but Deusche bank or something like that did this in tens of billions levels. Russian mafia used banks to put their money into it and then paid out big names in the world with loans that is not needed to be paid back. Such as Trump for example, took out a loan, and didn't pay it back, because it was basically given to him in a disguise.

It is true that we are not going to really see something huge for a long time, it is obvious that we are not going to end up with a big NFT world in the near future, it's true. However, that doesn't mean that we are not going to end up with something that is at least a bit revolving around NFT in some corner of the world neither.

I believe that NFT will keep being something that people care about for a while, not all people but some people and some of those people will have some money as well and eventually all these people will get together and use that money to buy NFT's and there will be a market for it. There is no doubt that this is a big possibility.

One thing is for sure, not everyone thinks that bitcoin is good just because of its price. I would be using t if it is 100 dollars, or if it is 100k dollars. This means that it is not about the price for me at all.

However, even for people like me when the price drops too significantly, that means bad for business and less people around, back when it was 100 dollars there weren't many people around, I was feeling a bit lonely with just a few thousand people that can be found online, but now there are tens of millions of people who use it, so that is a good period and that is why price going up is not just good for investment but good for business too.

Interesting thing Jokic is that people got used to him, I mean sure he can score decently, and he rebounds a bit like a centre should, but he passes so well and the games go through him, that was a new thing, a brand new type of "point centre" basically, he was the best, not the first of course, like Pau Gasol for example was one of the best passing big men we have seen, but at MVP level?

Jokic was the first ever. That is why I believe that he got some good votes, but people are used to him so they are not going to really vote for him too much this year. People are wanting to see something new, and if Doncic could get his team into at least 6th seed, I feel like he would get it for sure.

People like you are overreacting as always. I keep saying this all the time and I am sick and tired of it. Bitcoin is not what you want it to be, or what someone aimed to be, bitcoin is how we use it, and whatever way we all see it fit, then that is the way.

If you want it to be a currency and everyone uses it as investment, then it is an investment and not a currency, if you want to invest but it is a currency then it is a currency. I personally find it amazing and that's enough for me, just be "amazing" and that's it. It's clear that not many people see it that way and want it to do what they want it to do and that's not going to be the case.

Honestly I am even shocked that it took this long. I was expecting it to be ending a lot earlier than right now. It's fine though, maybe it didn't end that quickly but it is ending and that is what matters. This year as a whole from start to finish has been a whole bear run, and I have zero belief that it will continue to be like that in 2023 as well.

I am pretty sure that it's going to end up going a lot higher eventually somewhere in this year, that would make a lot more sense. I am not saying right at January, maybe it will take before summer, or even after summer but I am sure that eventually it will happen and that will make a lot more sense.

Agreed about this all with you because I also feel series like this is waste of time, money and energy specially if you are not going to have any positive impact in long run as well West Indies is completely crap side in test format, and they can't do things for positive change because they are now having the worst things around them with no hope of better future just ODI and t20 can give them better results and better way of stay into this game of cricket.

All team bowled out on 77 with match ended with the heaviest defeat and no batsman able to cross highest run by Chanderpaul in second inning what a batting by the former kings of cricket here in Adelaide most of the time stadium was empty as peoples are also feeling nothing entertaining going to happen which is also really poor hopefully ICC and WICB will do things for the improvement of their quality in near future.

Keeping our funds secured against hack or any other attempts is their basic responsibilities but charging us for unnecessary reasons cannot be an excuse for fulfilling one of their main responsibility. When they are not generating enough income from trading fees or listing fees, I guess they are not fit to run an exchange business.

Yeah, but these days crypto beginners have lots of options to get into adapting cryptocurrencies hence one or two exchanges having such practice in my opinion may not have any deep impact on the rate of adaption of cryptocurrencies.

$5k is unfair still there's some even forum members who predicted btc at $3k but I don't think they are a btc hater. They are just telling what they think they can happen according to their analysis. We shouldn't be angry whenever we see such predictions but we should be open minded and face the reality that anything can happen in btc including harder dips and not just hard pumps.

This is for us to prepare ourselves. When those event came in, we do not worry or panic anymore but we will only be calm and buy more coins. Those who claim that btc is a bubble and can burst are right but unlike any other bubbles out there, btc is unique because its value always recovers.

This is an usual complaint about demo accounts, but when you are not ready to comply with the reality of switch over then you may not be fit for the process of trading environments. I mean even in real market conditions, your emotions need to work differently for different days; I mean there cannot be same set of mental capability for trading all the days across years hence applications of demo accounts cannot be ignore just because of failing in emotional switch over.

You need to accept the real facts of trading environment that you might be facing losses in the demo mode and even experienced traders in real trading must be facing losses the time to time. So, losses in real accounts in beginning days is inevitable; you must keep your capital low and should be keen on learning lessons out of own experiences.

What you did there of stopping for a while is a good idea because if you didn't do that then you might be losing more than 1k dollars. Not just in trading but also in investing and gambling, being emotional is the number one enemy. When you are in profit, you will feel greedy and you will continue up to the point that your profits are turning into losses.

Predicting is something that is hard to do no matter what practice you are doing. There will always be times that your prediction will fail but you should accept it as losing is part of this game. Futures trade is risky so if we are a starter we should start with the easier one. It can be spot trading.

The percentage is unknown that’s the problem. Like you can analyse something and that is very important, but you also need to get a bit lucky as well that’s important, but I have absolutely no idea how much important both of them are, I am sure one is more important the other but that changes all the time.

Like if you did analysis on ETH then you would be doing the right thing, less luck required, but people who bought doge before it took off? That was pure luck if you ask me, nobody saw that coming and no analysis showed it. So, in some situations it is more important to study and research, and in some cases it is more important to be just purely lucky.

That is true, I do believe that while we have bitcoin this low, it is a lot better to buy bitcoin and hold it. Obviously, you could sell it later on when it peaks, and you could put some of that into alts, but this should be done after bitcoin reaches like 10x levels first, before that it is useless.

I know it is not going to be easy for everyone to do such a thing, most people either take too much of a big risk, or they take no risk at all. However, altcoins are futile risk right now when the reward at bitcoin is equally big and less risky, why take more risk for the same amount of return? That is why nearly all my money is in btc, and the only other big ones are eth and bnb, number 2 and 3 respectively.

When you cannot predict the direction of market, how you could make money? I mean you need the clear idea about where market is heading and without that you cannot make money hence being conscious about market direction is recommended but not sure why you are asking to focus on making profit by not bothering about the market sentiment.

You keep repeating about bitcoin negatively but you never mention about what contracts you are trading in futures. If you find BTC market is slow in crypto space, I am afraid that you may not find any other asset suitable for futures trading as in my opinion bitcoin market alone is too volatile compared to any other cryptocurrencies.

How do you say this? Generalizing just from your own experiences or by watching one or two friend's scenario also not enough to conclude anything against trading. You mention about consistent in trading which is subjective unless otherwise you refer long term trading. Similarly investing for years to decades also got very little chances to be failed in the case of right assets. So, eradicating poverty is possible by investments and for that I could be one of proven example.

Nothing is impossible everywhere; simply leave off all these reasons. If you believe just fundamental and technical analysis are enough to make profits in trading and investments then I would say there is another factor which is luck and you can hit your luck if your patience enough at least 99.9% of times. So, include the time factor also in your trading. All short term things may fail but fundamentally strong assets in long term will get you assured profits.

I think dex could offer margin trading as well, it would be difficult but not impossible. How could it be done? Well, simply you would be putting up a margin trading on a dex with betting mindset, and there would be people who loan out that money simply, and then if the price goes wrong direction even a bit, you would lose all your money, and the winner would pay the loaner and then the rest of it would be their profit, so even a 1% drop would make you get the whole money from the opposite side, and that is how it is done at CEX anyway, they just provide the risk factor, someone else just like liquidity provider at dex would end up doing it.

You are a bit too late if you are going to start caring about it now because of Elon, I mean he showed interest a year or so ago, and even before that, but now he hasn't shown any interest in it for a long time.

In fact, dude is interested in twitter so much that I am not even sure if Tesla or SpaceX is getting the same amount of attention. Obviously "he" owns twitter, not a huge group, whereas he owns only a part of Tesla and that could be the reason. All in all there is nothing on his plate about dogecoin at all, we should not be expecting him to pump it up. And that is the main problem isn't it? Investing into something with hopes that someone famous would tweet about it.

Not many people agree with that I am afraid. Look at the market and the recent small drop, do you think that if people believed price would have gone up they would end up doing it again?

Of course not, they would be buying right now and not selling so that means if the prices are even slightly down, they do not believe that it is going to go up. Obviously there could be some people who do, and they are buying, but if the price is going down that means more people sell than buy, so more people are not seeing it go up. If they see price hitting 23k in Q1 and yet still selling right now to buy later to make a profit in the middle, that would be the riskiest move of all time.

The main problem is that most of the time we see altcoins getting that money from bitcoin and that causes the stress. When people realize that bitcoin went up way too much for a period, they stop investing into it knowing that they can't make too much more profit from it, and then invest into alts because they can make a lot more profit there.

I have seen people make as much as 1000x profit on some alts, not common of course but I have seen it happen, not gonna see that on bitcoin. But at the same time I have seen x100 more people lose all their money on alts, and never gonna see that happen at bitcoin. If people are aware of the risks, then it's fine, but gotta be ready to take that risk.
