361  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: If you had $500, which coins would you choose to buy on: February 17, 2024, 11:14:31 AM
an altcoin that is not yet in the top 500, because it has the potential to make my $500 into $5k or even $50k, but of course the risk is definitely big (high risk, high profit) and altcoin that I recommend is UMB, because I see this project as a hidden gem, so when the right time comes, then the price will definitely increase very high, so of course UMB has a good potential to be used as a long-term investment and can make me rich, but if you want to invest in UMB, then I still advise you to DYOR before investing in UMB.
What are the odds of that happening? Don't you think that a cryptocurrency that has already earned its name and position in the market would be a better choice when making such a decision? Even if you decide to invest in a new coin or token, at least don't put all your eggs in one basket because if the token or coin fails and doesn't fulfil your expectations, all you can do then is regret your decision which is to no avail.

So, when you are investing in altcoins, you should always diversify the amount you are going to invest so that if some of the coins you've invested in fail to provide you with good returns, the others that work will have it covered and you will still do good and won't lose any money for the investments that failed.

Every subject has some privacy which should not be open to everyone and if there is a possibility of danger if privacy is open to everyone then it becomes mandatory to protect that privacy. Bitcoin is one of those privacy because it is becoming so popular and expensive day by day that anyone can steal or rob these bitcoins.Privacy should not be open to anyone. Sometimes heinous crimes like hijacking, kidnapping and murder are heard to be organized for Bitcoin. Kidnapping ransoms are often demanded in Bitcoins and in some cases the investor has even been killed for these Bitcoins. However, all Bitcoin investors must protect their Bitcoin privacy if they do not.There may be major unforeseen events in the future.
It's not just about Bitcoin, but all sorts of things that have great value should be kept private and one shouldn't keep telling every other person that they own a certain thing that is extremely valuable because you never know who is trustworthy and sincere with you and who isn't because we live in a world where money is everything since wealth brings power and power is what everyone wants in the world today.

That's why, any person, poor or rich, should be careful about what they are saying when they are in public or even when they are surrounded by people that may know them. You can't even trust your family members apart from your mother which is probably the most sincere and honest relation one can have.

In the end, perseverance seems to be the key here. He's not putting an incredible amount of money down every month, but still he has managed to obtain a lot of Bitcoin, 4.47 BTC from his last update.

Have you tried something similar?, maybe now thinking about doing it?, I think it's a great idea.
He did invest in an opportune moment, that does make it better for him. He does buy bitcoin a lot and considering 500 euro every month, I think it's cool that his 500 euro a month buys different amounts of bitcoin all the time when the price falls, and his fiat stack does increase anyway. He started at the bear market of 2018, which means he bought cheap, and then when bull run of 2021 happened he got super rich, and even though it did fall, it never went that low, so it looks like he is going to make even more soon enough.

This is the method I use, similar method, but the difference is that I had to cash out multiple times since he started for personal reasons, thankfully I have just 2k debt now, could have been 20k debt if I didn't invest into bitcoin.

That's painful to read.

Someone who probably has accumulated that for so long and then ended up with a huge loss and is far from breaking even. This is a lesson for everyone if you're going to sell, choose a better exchange and always check their liquidity.

There are exchanges that you can automatically sell it to them and don't have to go to spot so you sell it on an instant but the spread and rate is quite lower than of the markets.

Surely that guy have learned his lesson but on an expensive way.
As long as it is not us that happened this to, we could see this as a lesson without hurting. I know that it must be horrible for him personally, but he also becomes a cautionary tale for all the people out there who wants to sell their coins. Thanks to his misery, there are now probably a lot more people who would not do such a thing. This type of mistakes makes other people do not make the same mistakes. And at times, some people who never hear this, ends up doing it again, and that makes even more people hear about it.

This has happened to so many people now, and all of them were sad, but all of them made less people make the same mistake. I do not enjoy people losing money like this, but at least I can check out the bright side of it.

Inflation is one of the worst diseases of the economy because of its direct impact on the middle and poor classes instead of the rich classes, and because the poor do not have assets but mostly liabilities and expenses, inflation will be very bad for members of this class.

People from Nigeria may give you better details, but you must know the cause of inflation in order to find the appropriate treatment. Is inflation in your country due to money printing, or due to an imbalance in exports and imports, or due to external influences? Then improving your skills to find a better job while investing any amount you have in food storage. Reducing any unnecessary expenses will help you greatly in reducing the effects of inflation.
Inflation exists in many nations, if you look at the inflation rates in nations, Venezeula, Zimbabwe, Sudan, Argentina and Turkey has some of the highest, Nigeria is not in that list. It is of course important for those people to earn in dollars, to have a stable income. If you make the fiat of those nations your money will be gone for good, and that is not really something you could expect at all. However, if you end up with something that would be smaller, then you are going to end up with a good return.

Hopefully, we could see it change one way or another, and with that we could consider making some USDT income at crypto, and that will definitely allow these people to get a good return one way or another thanks to bitcoin.
366  Economy / Economics / Re: Surviving the economy with creative thinking. on: February 16, 2024, 01:16:31 PM
The world is a global village that is changing rapidly. Humans must be innovative in their ideas and should produce different techniques. Which can be implemented in order to develop commodities and create a competitive edge.this is to say creative thinking plays a prominent role in today’s world.
Technology changes many things in the traditional order and technology makes work easier because there are human resources who are able to carry it out. Technology can also destroy the jobs of other people who do not think innovatively because of competition. Without creativity and not having good ideas, our lives will be much more difficult amidst the rapid development of technology.
The problem is that when technology gets better, we do not get easier jobs, we do not live better life neither, we get unemployed. This isn't some dreamland where we improve the world so that people could do whatever they want, we do not have universal basic income, we have robots and AI taking over our jobs and technology makes us not earn as much as we could. Who earns? The boss that bought the robot instead of you earns, the robot makes more product and you just pay it once that's it. Whereas when we are talking about a human, you need to pay it all the time and they may not earn that much for you.

This is why it's clear that we need to realize this isn't some great situation for any of us. We need to figure out a way to benefit everyone from these improvements.
367  Economy / Economics / Re: Is increase in minimum wage a good method to fight inflation? on: February 16, 2024, 12:05:34 PM
Think of the top 1 percent. They must be drained of wealth to stop inflation.

Raise taxes on the top 1 percent punish them for excess wealth. They cause inflation as a weapon against the bottom 99 percent.

No more complicated than this.

Of course making the top 1 percent lose wealth no longer happens world wide so the bottom 99 percent suffer.
I feel like it is not accumulated wealth, but more about income. You can take the money from the richest %1 and distribute it to everyone equally, doesn't make anyone rich anyway, still is a very low number in the end, and only once so if you misspend it once you are done. You can literally get 50 trillion dollars, and spread it to everyone, and it would be gone in a year at most.

However, if you get proper income taxes, and I do not mean like "oh Nike pays no taxes because they have a Shell company" type of stuff, I mean like actually get the taxes from them, make the law in a way that whatever amount of revenue they made, they are still getting taxed on that, not their "profit" anymore. Find a way, when you do that, money will keep coming it forever.
368  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin Drop to Zero? on: February 16, 2024, 08:35:43 AM
Ironic question to consider right now but its highly relevant in terms of market appreciation of the whole spectrum of sentiment to trade that is possible.   Despite the highs occurring now we have to on balance consider the opposites also true, BTC continually has the dynamic of forgetting where it was just 6 months ago.   When we go up with strength we the collective market as a mass think it lasts forever and equally the giant amount of gloom in the most negative prices is excessive.  Both extremes represent inaccuracy, so I find this thread not obvious but still relevant to consider in the mood and volatility always present underneath the skin of BTC price action.
With all of that in mind, I still do not think that zero is possible. Just the value of having bitcoin is worth more than that. I understand that there are plenty of stuff that can ruin the current situation and that is why we think that there is a possibility that this may not happen, but at the same time I also believe that we are going to most probably end up with a return that will benefit us all.

Just because there are possible bad things, doesn't change the fact that zero is way too low, if the question was to go under 20k again, I would say maybe, but the price going under 1 dollars? Like literally be zero? I do not think that will ever be possible. We are going to do fine, and not going to get to zero ever.
369  Economy / Speculation / Re: WILL BITCOIN CONTINUE TO RISE on: February 16, 2024, 06:44:03 AM
The real bull run is going to happen several months after the halving. The current price pump might be a short term price bubble, which is going to pop in March, April or May. I can't measure the impact of the Bitcoin ETFs over the BTC price, but I guess that the institutional investors will help at forming new FOMO phases in the BTC market. Last month, I thought that the BTC price will drop below 40K USD and right now the price is going above 52K USD. I'm not the best trader and Bitcoin always finds ways to surprise me.
That is something that many people need to realize but they are expecting it too soon. I think we will break the ATH at the end of this year, and be higher in 2025 as well. But they are expecting so high that, if you asked the public right now, they would say we may break it around halving and then be 100k by the end of the year. I think that can't be done and needs to change.

I think the clear choice right now would be making sure that we are dealing with a good profit one way or another and for that to mean something, we need to just keep on holding. Don't expect it to get that well, it is not going to get that well, it won't go up that quickly. Those prices will be reached, it is just not going to be as quickly as some people think.
370  Economy / Speculation / Re: DCA is the most important in investing. on: February 16, 2024, 06:11:32 AM
A new investor in Bitcoin should ask how old investors have been investing before they start investing so that they do not invest wrongly or invest with the strategy that is not as efficient as dollar cost averaging. The method and strategy of investment is of course as important as knowing how to secure your investment after you've invested. When you introduce anyone to Bitcoin investment always ensure to also tell them the method and strategy to invest in it just as you also tell them about how to secure that bitcoins after investing. These are some example of some important information that you do not keep to yourself but make known to anyone you are convincing to invest in Bitcoin.
I mean most of the old investors got lucky by investing very early on, that's the difference. We should not really consider any changes anywhere about anything. I get that it may feel a little different for now, but the reality is that we are not going to really see much changes here or anywhere. The problem is that when you are late, you should just do it long term.

Yes, you can't buy bitcoin and make hundred times more money, but you could keep on investing for as long as you can, and make that money eventually. This should be the most important part and we could make a good return with that. Hopefully, that should not be an issue all that much, just let them do whatever they need to do and do a long term accumulating investment.
371  Economy / Economics / Re: Some persons lacks financial sensibilities on: February 15, 2024, 01:56:26 PM
This is just how awkward and lack of financial sensibilities some women could be who just sits, makes demands and gets what they wanted without having the compassions of how hard it is to make the money's they spends so carelessly.
It is basically how they condition your brain with marketing, and that's why they all think of it that way. I get that it may not be all that easy for some people but at the same time we are talking about millions even maybe over a billion people getting that marketing. When they do it that way, it becomes normal.

Like for example a diamond ring wasn't a proposal thing 100 years ago, then slowly the marketing became so important for it that the diamond stuff that you buy to your wife became the symbol of how much you love her. That is all marketing, diamond doesn't worth that much at all, it's cheap to made and worthless resource, but they made marketing so much that they can sell it for whatever they want now.
372  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Opinions on the Pi network on: February 14, 2024, 02:44:02 PM
Let's talk about the Pi network. With about 48 million users known as pioneers, this altcoin has gained popularity already. Also, its easy mining structure makes it more appealing to users than a lot of other altcoins. Although there are good speculations about it, it still hasn't been listed on Binance or any other exchange platform for buying and selling. What may be the reason? Is this how long it took other altcoins before they came into use? It's been more than 4 years since its words came to the public. What do you think caused the long wait and how valuable would it be when it comes out?
Let's get realistic here. If it was a serious project and if they had the aim to release the token and list it in exchanges, they would have done it a long ago because 4 years is a very long time. A project can start and have all its developments done in 4 years, and this project hasn't been able to verify all its customers so far which is laughable, to be honest.

So what I think is that they are just fooling their customers and the token is never going to list anywhere and they won't allow all their customers to have their tokens migrated to the mainnet because they know people would barely trade the token if everyone has free ones and there will only be dumping and no one will be ready to buy them.
373  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: help me choose the best possible ALTCOINS for 2024/2025 on: February 14, 2024, 01:14:10 PM
There's no best altcoins anywhere, we are only taking risk on their investment after in which we are satisfied with the research conducted about them and we think the  risk is worth going for, so when we make research, you may discover something completely different from what I've seen as well, and the level of both of us taking risk on investment upon any alt may varies, you can check the best 100 altcoins for an hour in their order of preference.
I agree with what you say, most altcoins are not reliable when it comes to long-term investments because they are highly volatile and unpredictable with their prices and movements. You invest in an altcoin today thinking it will give you good returns, and you find out that the coin has rug pulled or the project went bankrupt, etc. I say this because we have seen such things happening in the past and people have lost millions of dollars in such incidents.

So, when someone asks me about which altcoins are the best for the next couple of years, I tell them that I don't recommend any, I may name ETH as it's one of the oldest and most trusted cryptocurrencies, but apart from that, there is none that I believe will stay around for that long even if there are, it's still risky.
374  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Many new projects are now available for users for testing on: February 14, 2024, 09:48:42 AM
Can we expect any rewards , for participating in them in Q4 2023?
Participating in what projects?
Dude, don't waste your time by testing new random projects!
I think you are better to participate in established projects because their history and their future are clearer.
I'm not sure there is a big chance to take profits by investing in new projects. I'm getting skeptical because many of them are just scams. I prefer to suggest people for participating in old projects that have good development.

Anyway, it is already 2024. Have you got profits in Q4 2023?
You need to let us know whether you succeed by testing those projects or not.  Grin
You are right, people should try to avoid trying out new projects, it really doesn't end up with all that good result in the end and makes no sense to me at all. I understand that people will not be really all that smart when it comes to investing into new projects, so the best way to go about that would be avoiding them if they can. If they could do that then they would do a lot better and people need to focus on the stronger ones.

The best way to go right now would be just making sure that you are handling it well enough and that would result with you doing fine. I hope that people do not just put small amounts in dozens of projects just to make sure that one of them will do fine, because they could all literally crash to zero.
375  Economy / Speculation / Re: Signs you should know to take profit from your crypto investment on: February 13, 2024, 04:55:25 PM
We wont really be needing any sign if we do speak about securing profits with our investment. Secure it out when you are already that contented.
TP when happy and with those common lines might really that something that basic but this is something that you should really be prioritizing.
Some people do held their position until they would be caught on the dump and ending up on holding for another cycle.
So you should really be wise on making those decisions.
We could definitely take profit when we feel like we have profited enough or we think that the peak is near and we are going to crash. Too many people end up thinking that they are going to end up with a trouble and we should probably avoid that as much as we possibly could, there is really nothing else we could do about it. I hope that the best thing we could do right now about this market situation is to just focus on when to get out, and if we could find a way to do that then we are going to be fine.

Hopefully, life will be a lot quicker and we get to that bull run period, because waiting also makes some people need money eventually, the longer you wait the more chance there could be something in your life that requires money.
376  Economy / Speculation / Re: Going against the grain. on: February 13, 2024, 02:29:43 PM
I think now is a good time to take some profits and set it aside.
That's your decision to take, any individual who has invested in the market knows what their initial target has been and what they have always wanted to achieve with their investment, and based on that, they can decide whether they need to take profit at the current price or wait for it to go up further. Even if it goes down from this point, we should be expecting a higher price because we are still anticipating the long-awaited bull run.

Different people will have different thoughts about this thing I would say. Some might think that they should take profit and buy again if the market goes down again, and some might think that the market wouldn't go down anymore and they might miss on higher profits if they sell now.
377  Economy / Speculation / Re: What to expect this bull run? on: February 13, 2024, 12:44:51 PM
What to expect? Here are the 2 prediction that I'm thinking:
1. Bitcoin will reach the price range of $150,000 - $200,000 next year.
2. Ethereum might reach the price range of $12,000-$15,000 next year.

Sound's impossible right? Of course, it's just a prediction, and TBH, my expectations are kind of low when it comes to bull run. I mean I just want to lower my expectations just incase. Nevertheless, having a strategy during the bull run will be help for you, and if you believe that the bull run will happen next year then start accumulating Bitcoin, and other altcoins already.
Well, nothing is impossible because we have seen the impossible happening in this industry. However, one should always have realistic expectations, expectations that have a higher chance of becoming true, and your predictions, in my opinion, are good for the next cycle because it will be enough even if Bitcoin hits $100k, that should be enough for this cycle and we can happily wait for the next cycle so that this new all-time high record is broken.

The best time for accumulation was when Bitcoin was around $30k, altcoins were on great discounts back then but people were too confused about whether they should buy or not, and then the market started going up and people started accumulating at a higher price, the same is the situation for now.

Anyone here who retired with Gambling winnings ?  If not, how much you think is sufficient to retire as Gambling winning ?
I wish to be one of those who retire through gambling winnings like from lottery. For me as long as I achieve financial freedom with the said winning it's all good. But since you asked us how much then I think if given a chance $1M would be enough for me and my family to live a safe, and decent life.
It depends on several factors, like where you live, what kind of life you want for yourself and your family in the future, and price hikes, inflation, and other important factors of the future because things won't have the same value forever and we all know that as we enter the future, our money will not have the same value anymore if they are stored in fiat currencies since they lose value if not value, they probably will lose purchasing power over time.

So, for some, $1M might be a lot, more than enough, to live a simple and good life, but for some, it might not be enough, especially if one wants to live a luxurious life with all the amenities and everything because you can't have everything in your life with just $1M, no matter where in the world you live.
379  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What traders must know on: February 13, 2024, 08:20:42 AM
OP what is this, you've created a long list of the important terms and skills every trader must have you haven't answered the core of your own question, What does a trader know? Hmm is what you wrote is the answer?

Haha, Becasue what I think is a trader must know that he's a trader until or unless he realizes that he's a trader he is not able to fetch any of the attributes OP you've mentioned. I know I know this is a stupid concept but this is the only concept bro. Like my teacher of English he always used to say keep it simple that's the reason I've kept it simple. Hehe sorry sir I respect your contribution but this is old stuff so I thought why not to put some spice into it.
Basically the idea was a trader should know these terms or something like that I assume? I mean that's what it looks like, there are some cliche stuff, and they are quite boring to anyone who has been around for a long time but I would say maybe he did it for the noobs with some good intention I can't really know. In the end, we have seen a lot of people who has posted a lot of stuff all around, so it is not like it would be impossible for me to have something shocking, it is just how the world is and how we should approach it as much as we could, there is really no other way around it.

I understand that we are not going to see people profiting everywhere, but at least reading this would make them take one small step, not really bad idea, cliche but not wrong.

Does even freezing a customer's account curb irresponsible gambling or betting addiction?
Not at all!
First of all, a casino would never freeze a user's account just because they find out that the user is gambling irresponsibly. They wouldn't even notice as long as the user is constantly losing because the money is theirs to keep in that case, they would only freeze an account if the user constantly wins which makes them act quickly so that the user can't win more.

Even if they do it, just in case, a gambler can always go to a different platform and start gambling there, as you said. All they would need is to create an account which is extremely easy in cryptocurrency casinos, and then they can make a deposit and start gambling immediately without any restrictions or anything.
