My goal is to hold Bitcoin until it reaches £500k - £1m, i know it will take a long time but will be worth it
You have made a brilliant decision to invest in bitcoin, Bitcoin will definitely reach £500k - £1m one day but you should be ready to hold for long time, am sure nobody can predict when the price will get their but if you have patience then HODL and you will be proud of yourself one day.
I am sure that it will reach 500k-1 million "one day" but we shouldn't expect that to happen anytime soon. I mean it will probably happen in the future but it is not going to be anytime today neither. This is why we shouldn't be really expecting the price to be like that when investing today, just hope for a 40k for example which would be 2x and that is good enough to be fair.

I am not saying it is going to be a bad idea, all I am saying is that it is going to be a decent one that would go on for a while. It is going to be a problematic thing if you have expectations, have zero expectation if you can, buy bitcoin and forget about it and be rich eventually.
2582  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Video Gaming Sector Consumes More Energy Than Bitcoin Mining. on: September 08, 2022, 08:31:33 PM
That's why from the start I never agreed that bitcoin mining can consume a lot of energy, when compared to other companies, even bitcoin mining has a much lighter energy consumption level.
The question is why other companies have never been debated?
This graph shows how bitcoin mining actually works.
So when there is a debate that says bitcoin issues like that, then we can make a graph as a strong data reference.
The "idea" is that, even if it is lower than what other places are using, it is still a lot, we shouldn't just make more bitcoin mining energy spending just because there are others, we should aim at lowering all of them together. Do not show other big energy spenders, drop them too. However, it is not just about spending energy, it is also about the fact that we couldn't produce this energy from renewable stuff that could help reduce the problem.

The biggest two we have is sun and wind, if we could produce all worlds energy needs with solar panels and wind turbines then we wouldn't have any problems at all and we would be making sure that it is okay to spend as much as we want, as long as it is renewable.

Short-term investment in a bear market is not entirely wise, because after making a small profit from short-term trading, a bull market may follow, but in the case of a short-term trade, you can miss out on significantly larger profits. The advantage of long-term trading is that you don't have to worry about time fluctuations, all you have to do is buy and wait for the bull market.
If you do a short term trade, you do not suddenly stop, you keep on doing that and if there is a bull then they will keep on trading and making profit during the bull period as well. Many people think "well if I hold it now, I will make more money from the person that bought it in the morning and sold at night" but they do not realize that the trader will end up buying again next morning and selling next night.

So, if you are a good trader then you could make a profit from any situation and any money, but if you are not then you are going to end up with a bit of a problem when trading even on the best markets so the point is not the time but how great you are.

It was an incredible and breathtaking match. It was unimaginable that Afghanistan played so well in this match. After being given a target of 130 runs, everyone thought the match would be completely one-sided. But this is not the case. Pakistan lost the wickets of Babar and Fakhar Zaman early in the innings. Iftikhar and Sadab batted somewhat well but Pakistan could not take control of the match. Pakistan won because of Naseem's 4-ball 14-run knock. Pakistan will probably be the champion of this year's Asia Cup.
Mate, if you are watching Pakistan cricket team matches then surely you have to imagined about many things as any results can happen, and anything is possible in this match even Pakistan is playing against Zimbabwe or Australia they are hilarious and talented for these things for many years around the world. But good thing happened yesterday that they have new Hero Nasim Shah even Shadab is MOM for his best all round performance, but this kid is new hero for them and surely Afghani and Indian fans are going to have to dream about this for some days in future because today with his two sixes both teams are down and out of this Asia Cup.

Once when Pakistan was losing wickets very frequently I was sure today they are going to lose match just because of if they won then two matches are going to be crap, but they have done and now just final is ok other matches are just for formality.

The match was very entertaining. After New Zealand were set a target of just 233 I thought we might see dominance from the Australian players in this match. But the collection of the next 4 batsmen except for Australia opener David Warner was only 11 runs. Despite such a poor performance from the top order, the responsible performances of Alex Carey and Cameron Green helped Australia to win the match.
No doubt match was full of entertainment but here is a matter of concern as well for Australian selectors because now their top order fail back to back two times and this can create problems for them in coming days with now they are trying to have a good unit for World Cup which is going to play in India, so they need to do much better changes for this event and have to replace few players with youths as well which can give them better performance in this format because Smith and Labuschagne both are going down badly and giving better performance in test matches instead of this format which is now looking for young blood with more energy and better skills for this format.

Cameron Green entry is very good for them, but they need to have two or three more players like this for their future plans and now giving few players rest just for test matches is also going to be good for long term plans.

It is not all electronic equipment are made up of silver or gold. I do not think anyone has seen bitcoin physically except the digital copy. For that, bitcoin would have existed without those two liquidity.
Yeah, not all electronics are made of silver or gold because that was too expensive already but some do only need other components and they can still be able to work fine. Btc is a digital currency so it doesn't have a physical form although there are some btc fan boys who are minting a physical coin with a btc logo on it and then they engrave private keys there or maybe some kind of a qr code for it to work like a physical version of btc.

I think the op is saying that btc should give credits to gold and silver because if not because of them, there will also be no btc but I think the title of his thread is different but anyway I disagree with that.

Owl token is also traded on MEXC centralized exchange https://www.mexc.com/exchange/OWL_USDT but volume is very low less than $100 in 24Hr, not a pleasant sight even though many keep it for staking but if the trading volume is low this indicates that this token is not very well known, if anyone wants to sell it they will have difficulty because of low liquidity and the price of this token can immediately drop very low,
Some guys above are also complaining about how low the volume of this coin was so I think the better answer for this is that the coin is not good for trading purposes but this coin might still be good at long term investing because the gambling site is still being promoted regularly and who knows, what if they became more successful soon? Other than hodling, maybe this coin can also be used for gambling on their own site? If all we want is to trade then there are better coins that are specifically built for that and they aren't casino tokens. 

even though many keep it for staking but if the trading volume is low this indicates that this token is not very well known
I don't think they aren't well known because you said many stakes the coin and also like I said earlier, the are being advertised here in the forum.

Australia needs 16 runs in 42 balls. That is quite achievable. But the problem is they only have two wickets in hand.  Green is still in the middle. So if Adam Zampa can hold on to his wicket, Australia should have an easy victory over New Zealand in this match. But it is easier said than done.
A very nervy win by Australia as they lost top five batsmen on just 44 while they were chasing target of 232 a serious matter of concern for them as their top order fail in last two matches they have to check their mistakes and need to bring better players those can perform better in these situations. Green is going to be golden boy for them as this youngster is achieving many good things which can bring him to the top of this game New Zealand's batting done much better in these conditions but still need more improvement as now we have short time in ODI World Cup.

Kane Williamson improving his performance but need some more from him as leader new batsmen are also doing good for them but still they are having gape which happen after retirement of Rose Taylor.
2589  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: September 06, 2022, 01:54:31 PM
I personally think there is no chance of Afghanistan winning against Pakistan. I am not underestimating the Afghanistan team. They are quite a good and strong team I know. But the Pakistan team has more experienced players than Afghanistan.
I think Afghanistan's main strength is their spin attack. On the other hand, Pakistan batsmen can bat well against the spin bowlers. Pakistan's batsmen batted brilliantly against India's spin attack in the last match as well. Moreover, Pakistan's bowling performance is quite good. I don't think Afghanistan's batsmen can do too well against such inexperienced bowlers.
Afghanistan need to win both their matches, in order to advance to the final (need 4 points, if I am not wrong). And it is going to be very hard. If they are lucky, they will win one of the two remaining matches. But winning both is close to impossible, especially against two of the top ODI sides. Right now Pakistan and Sri Lanka are on the top with two points each and they need just one more win to qualify. For India and Afghanistan, it is hard. And Sri Lanka has a golden chance, if they are able to win just one more match.
No doubt one of the best event in recent days and we need events like these in Asia which will give very good popularity and better environment to all fans around the world right now situation is not easy for any team even Sri Lanka and Pakistan at top of the league table, but things can change any time in this event with today match is surely going to be very tight between these two teams with Sri Lanka is had no quality like India but after winning two tight matches their confidence level is very high, and they will try their best for having better finish in this tournament.
 
Afghanistan already done which was possible from them, and now they have no chance for going into last two because lost against Sri Lanka is give them big setback after good first round performance but here as Pakistan is unpredictable we can expect better chance for Sri Lanka to go into last two.

Making Tokens is easier than creating Coins, that's why many people are creating so many tokens, compared to Coins, because it's very difficult to make them, and we can see many projects popping up to develop and sell their tokens to investors, but unfortunately it's easy to create tokens become the ground for fraudulent projects, that's why tokens are often misused...
Nothing is hard if you have money. You can just pay some devs to create a crypto for you but that isn't necessary anymore since we already have tons of them and most of them are just useless. Better if we don't contribute our own mess anymore but let us only make this crypto world more clean by supporting only quality projects.

the two most common blockchain-based digital assets are cryptocurrencies and tokens
Cryptos and tokens must have their own main use and they aren't specifically built for investing or as an asset but people are already used to this, knowing that their value can also grow over time. Cryptos and tokens shouldn't also be separated when you mentioned it because tokens are still under the cryptos but you can separate an altcoin from a token.
2591  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: September 05, 2022, 10:32:50 AM
Zimbabwe has closed the gap with South Africa in the ODI Super League points table, but the former has zero chance of qualifying to the next stage. West Indies at 8th place has 88 points from 24 matches. Even if Zimbabwe wins all their remaining matches, they will have 75 points. Next matches are Australia vs New Zealand (which is irrelevant for qualifying) and India vs South Africa (which is very important for South Africa). For Sri Lanka, the next series is against Afghanistan and they need to win at least 2 out of the 3 matches.
Right now, Zimbabwe is not having any interest in this ODI Super League points table because they need good improvement in skills quality, and then they can do something better in future otherwise they will struggle for long time as they are already.

Australia vs New Zealand series is also not having any impact on these both teams rating or points as both are already in better position but third series which is mentioned here India vs South Africa is very important for visitors as right now they need to improve their rating which needs to win matches in India which is not easy for them as well as Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan is also very important specially after very interesting end of matches between these two teams in Asia Cup even format was different but still look like right now both teams are having same level of quality and Sri Lanka could be under pressure as they have to win these matches otherwise they are going into qualifying round.
2592  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: September 05, 2022, 09:06:20 AM
Indian batsmen started well and I expected India to score 200+ easily. But India's middle-order batsmen performed poorly, as a result of which India could not add enough runs to the scoreboard. Pakistan's batting department performed their duty very well as a result of which they managed to win the match. Pakistan played brilliantly in this match so Pakistan deserved to win this match.
As India starts from first over they attacked Naseem Shah I love this strategy by them and with this all I was also expecting India is going to be first team in this event who is going to touch 200+ figure because today they have done few good changes and have Pant which is also good and Kohli is also doing good throughout this Asia Cup which was plus point but some sloppy batting by Kohli and good bowling at crucial part of the game by Pakistani done good for them, and they were able to restrict them at 181 which is also thanks for two fours from Bishnoi otherwise most chances this was going to stop around 177 or 178.

Still we have to praise a good comeback from Pakistani bowling and then batting which steal the show with today both main bowlers fail to give any impression with figures of Pandya 44/1 and B Kumar 40/1 these are surely not good as you are having figure of 181 at score board.
2593  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Worried about Moreno on: September 04, 2022, 09:31:53 PM
This Moreno coin is really not accepted in almost all existing exchanges, because of the risks caused by several parties, especially the privacy they create, as if they can manage it all, we will not know that this coin can be used for money laundering if it's privacy that Moreno does, that's why all governments don't like it...
The government doesn't like it and also wants it to be delisted in some exchanges not just because they couldn't regulate it due to its privacy but also to protect people from the possible money laundering and fraud using this coin. We understand that privacy makes Monero unique but if that's the reason why they're always getting delisted, I think it's something that they should change.
I would guess that "freedom" was the reason why it was started but some people took it too far. I mean yeah it is great that privacy is an important thing in monero, but just because it has some privacy doesn't mean that it would make any sense at all for people to use it for bad stuff.

This is why the best thing about it would be to stay away from it while all those bad people are there. Monero can't have one way or another, they can't just make it privacy oriented and let the bad people use it, but then try to keep bad people away, if you can money launder with the system they have, that is not going to be ok for exchanges or governments, and if they remove that, then they are no different from other coins.
2594  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is Solana still among the top 10 coins in market cap? on: September 04, 2022, 08:58:04 PM
Solana is backed by many huge VC and they are connected too on many prominent project like FTX, Serum, Raydium and many more that can easily for them to sustain each other since they are the huge holders on there respective token. Simply think that if Solana is not profitable business while other connected project like FTX is still doing fine, there token value is not affected that much by FUD since there top holders is still holding on and doing fine. This is the advantage on Blockchain project that has a self sustaining ecosystem that is not too dependent on Bitcoin market.
Just because they have a network doesn't mean that they are good. I can easily say that they are a project with many talented developers, great designers and amazing marketing people who all have a network that allows them to get paid enough to sustain a level of development and improvement which would be beneficial to improve it.

But, they are also seeing themselves on a bigger place than they normally are, and acting as if they are already there. What they want to achieve is ambitious and if they can do it then it would be great, like the famous 65K tps, which would be amazing, but they act as if they already have it, and they do not even have like 2k tps right now.
2595  Economy / Economics / Re: MONEY IS THE MOTIVATING FACTOR, what do you think? on: September 04, 2022, 03:21:05 PM
I know many people including a millionaire usually talk like this, but I disagree with their opinions since there's no such money will follow you or don't try to chase money etc. Because the value you've making are to get more money, they're just act like they're very spend a lot effort to contribute for the world etc without any money, but when someone offer money to them, they wouldn't decline it.

All people do anything to get money, most people didn't improve themselves and but they're prefer to destroy other people who better than them.
Weirdly enough that’s not me, I improve myself for money and that’s how I did so far. Like for example I was asked to write, I wrote and I made money and I became a better writer by doing it over and over again. Then I was asked to make a website, well I wasn't asked, but someone was offering good money for it, and I did, and then I get paid so I learned how to do it better, then I was asked for other stuff and I learned those stuff and did it.

Good thing is, youtube is filled with educational stuff and people decline to do it themselves, like 100$ worth of websites could be done via youtube videos in a day, and they just don't want to, and rather pay.
2596  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: September 03, 2022, 12:03:31 PM
according to me it looks like Hong Kong people aren't interested in cricket. That seems to be the prime reason why the team doesn't have an ethnic Han Chinese. Maybe that's the reason, people who migrated from India and Pakistan have formed the team and playing for Hong Kong.
Hong Kong native peoples never been interested in cricket, but 25 years back when they were under English administration they were enjoying cricket, so China never change this policy just because of this they are still playing and in last 25 years mostly they have players from these countries like India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka with few years back there were Australian and New Zealanders were also doing some stuff, but they are doing good job as they are coming in Asia Cup frequently after beating few teams like Nepal, Malaysia, UAE and Kuwait which mean they have quality for this game.

But here again most guilty party is ICC and ACC they never bring any policy for native players as they need to implement things like minimum four or five players could be native for every country hopefully this will bring any better idea, and we have Nepal at their best level with all native players but sadly never been good to face these countries which have all adopted players in their squads.
2597  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it right time to invest in Cardano? on: September 03, 2022, 08:06:29 AM
Is Cardano (ADA) a good coin to invest in it for long term?
Yes, it is a good coin to invest in for the long term. If the price is still at a lower price, you can buy many amounts, hold it, and not touch it before the price increases. At least, that is what I did before, and I sold it at the highest price the last year. With the price now being down a lot, I already bought some more and still hold them until now. The price is still good, so you can do DCA and start buying from the current price. While waiting for the price increase, you can also stake ADA on Binance.
I would say that it depends on what the team is planning on for the future and what the other project creators think about it as well. Remember BNB had the smart contract BEP20 way way later than Tron ever did, but Tron never went against ETH and won, they always lost and we are talking about a situation where it is looking like BSC is either winning or at least hurting ETH when it matters.

So in the end, ADA could be like BSC or it could be like TRX, we do not know which one it will be like. If they can build something amazing and attract many projects under their chain then it would be a high price coin for sure, if it fails to do that then it is going to be a bit of a tough deal for them to go up.
2598  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Keep or sell ethereum before the merge? on: September 03, 2022, 06:23:52 AM
There has been a stir in the entire crypto industry regarding the merge of Ethereum. When the news of the merge of Ethereum came, the price of Ethereum had crossed two thousand dollars. Ethereum is a very strong coin. The stakeholders of Ethereum also know and  Believes that when Ethereum merge, a lot of pumps can be seen on that day.And when Ethereum gets a pump, it will push the rest of the market up as well, because those who bought into Ethereum have a good chance that the price of Ethereum will go up.So selling Ethereum before this time merge will not be a good decision.  should wait for September 15th and not sell Ethereum before the merge.Because there is a chance of high volatility in the market that day۔
I do agree that 2k+ is given after the merge, maybe we have gone down a bit recently because of the mt.gox news but that’s how crypto is when something bad is heard in the news.

But, if something bad on the news caused it to go down then it means that something good in the news (like eth merge) will make sure that it goes up as well. That is what I am trusting with right now and it will surely happen, what I do not get however is the fact that we can't make it work in anyway or capacity currently, it would need to be done first and then spent a bit of time later. I always gathered as much ETH as I can, of course I do not have the 32 ETH goal that I have, but I am hoping to get there eventually.
2599  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does altcoins actually have the potentials of generating benefits to investors? on: September 02, 2022, 08:22:01 PM
The thing with altcoins is that you can not give a general answer to your question because nowadays there just so many altcoins out there already. There are great and already very big and established altcoin projects out there like for example Ethereum, Cosmos, Polkadot and Solana for example are all altcoin projects that already have a marketcap of way more than 1 Billion $. So if you invest in one of those projects, then the risk of a total loss of your investment is very small in my opinion.
Then of course there are thousands of new or very small altcoin projects and there the risk of a loss of your funds is very high, but of course there you always also have the chance for a potential moonshot, even though that chance is pretty slim.
That’s the thing about people not understanding the word "altcoin" and what it stands for. "ethereum" is technically an altcoin, the biggest we have, and it is worth 193 billion dollars in marketcap, that’s an altcoin itself, or bnb which is 44 billion and not bad.

Luaswap for example is around 1150th in the rankings and has 2.5 million dollars, not "B"illion, it has 2.5 million dollars, less value as a whole than over 30-40 million people in the world has for their networth, meaning people could literally swallow it whole if the price stayed the same (of course price would go up if anyone tried). So, altcoin can2t be generalized like that hence why this question can't be answered properly.

Bitcoin has created a lot good wave to it's investors during bull market, bad wave during bear market. Bitcoin is a seasoned coin that undergoes halving every 4 years, yet many have not gotten use to bull and bear market of Bitcoin coin, some people only get happy during the bull market as a result they forget to prepare their mind for bear market too. 1 Bitcoin = $26 (2013)   when only an average number of investors believed in it, Now that many investors are into Bitcoin investment, it cost thousands of $$  to afford 1 Bitcoin ( 1 Bitcoin not for everyone).
Well, if you are an old coiner or you joined here at a much earlier time then you already know the mechanics of it. You know that there are two cycles and that is the bear and the bull, and you know that there is also halving that takes place every 4 years. Any of these can be use on your advantage so you invest or sell accordingly.

For those who are only happy during a bull market then maybe they are new here and it was their first time to witness a dumping market but they will soon get used to that. They will realize that how can they buy a coin at a better rate if there will be no bears? It is not necessary to have a 1 btc but as long as you own something then you are already in.
