1  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Two Paths to Financial Growth: Trading vs Investing on: April 18, 2025, 11:44:09 AM

Bitcoin being a digital currency in the world has been used in the trading field for a very large scale but seconded to the US dollar in general. But from the perspective of the youth, bitcoin is the highest trading currency digitally. The profit is depends on the mathematical calculation of the trading. Mostly the tools.

Investment in the area of store of value Bitcoin is the highest even more than the US dollar because it is volatile and US dollar is stable coin. But it is the longevity of the investment that determines the investor's profit. You can still make profit within a short period of time but it will not huge as the long term investment.

Unlike the fiat that relies on the central bank and governments for its stability, Bitcoin is decentralised and independent on control which is both it's strength and its weakness.
Profitability will be basing up whether you do hold up your Bitcoin or would be trying out to trade it on active manner. There might be some differences in terms of the numbers because there would be factors that profits will be basing up.

1. The amount invested
2. The price on which you had made out such buyback
3. DCA
4. The amount on which you have decided to sell

We are all that trying out to deal up into something on which it doesnt matter whether its trading or investing on which in overall where we do share up on the same goal or target on which is to make money.
These factors above mentioned that totally affects on how much you could potentially earn. The time that you do keep on trying out to mind about others profits will be just that making you that getting stressed because you've been trying out to chase on what others been trying to make or totally that getting not contented on what you do have. Always stick into your trading or investing plans and wont be trying out to make those changes or alterations just because other people had been doing up something. If ever you do have such that changes according into your analysis then its  considerable but if its basing up into others analysis or whatever words that you have heard then its not recommended at all.
2  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: People's data or+ money, which is more important for safekeep by a casino? on: April 18, 2025, 06:55:05 AM
There are two important things that a casino has which can be a target for hackers, I learned this from the last discussion I started, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5538222.msg65280221#msg65280221

The two are - Money which they have, and then the data they hold obtained from KYC.

There is concern about the two, but different levels of importance placed, I think. The data they hold and risk losing is more important to gamblers than the money the money they have, and then to the casino, I believe it will be that they have more importance to the money than the data of the many gamblers. Now based on this, do you feel a casino is more likely to be careless with people's data than they will with money to hackers because most hacks seem to target money they have more?

Obviously, they have the responsibility to protect both players' money and their personal data with the same responsibility and care, even though they have different priorities when it comes to security.

While money is an obvious concern for casinos, I think players' personal data is even more important to protect because it can be used for identity theft, information theft and other malicious activities that would certainly have much more serious consequences for players.

In addition, personal data is more difficult to recover or replace than money and it is not only the players who lose... the casinos too because when players' personal data is stolen it opens up a huge loss of trust and in some cases even legal proceedings with heavy fines against the casinos that can sometimes be much higher than a money hack.

Money, however, although important, can be recovered or replaced in some way.
Still not an assured thing that trust wouldnt be broken even if they do have that able to pay up or patch up into those funds that been hacked but still it wont be giving out that assurance that peoples confidence and trust would be that totally removed or forgotten. There's always that scar on which that cause up that fear and breaking up the trust for those people who had experienced up on hacking incident. In regarding on the question about on what casino will be trying out to protect? Of course they would be coming for the money and they will be just that second in priority about data breaches into its users. They can just that simply say that "the hackers have that exploited the database or having the breach, and there's nothing we can do about it" , Then what? How you would be trusting up that platform again once you've known that your informations being leaked? We dont even know that these kind of exploits might be some sort of insidejob and thats why people cant just that easily trust up again and thats why casino business will be that so serious on trying out to protect into things on which are supposed to be protected because once reputation being tarnished then getting those lost customers back will be that not possible or it would be that impossible not unless if there will be some sort of bonus or compensation on what happened then there might be a chance but in most cases, people will leave out and finding up some another platforms on which they can trust up. Breaches do really happen because we do know that there's no such thing about perfect security but since these businesses are financially capable then it is jus that too impossible that they will be not that focusing into this considering that this business does generate out that huge amount of money that they could be having.
3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Western governments should love Bitcoin's privacy features, not fight them on: April 18, 2025, 04:40:22 AM
Thus: Western governments should re-think their stance about cryptocurrency privacy. If they want to fight authoritarian dictatorships, they should not treat their citizens like them. Instead, they should respect their freedom to transact privately.

Democratic type of government doesnt mean that it will be totally having all the things for it citizens to be able to have that freedom. Government do considers out some aspect but not on something that they can get a hold of Into the things that they dont able to control. They want to see everything and they want to gain up on everything on what their citizens been doing. Taxation do plays a great role and thats why they are that eager out on trying to extract as much as they could and since crypto could have that kind of possibilities on which people could be able to avoid it out then this is what they dont really like. Same goes into those transactions that couldnt be able to trace up or simply having that decentralization and anonymity on which it is totally opposing on what they are wanting. We do know that government doesnt really like or want to have this way and thats why its not shocking that they will be that still not wanting to have that full adoption in regarding on legalizing Bitcoin or crypto. So expect that they wont be that loving it al all. Now we are seeing some decisions about regulation but it doesnt mean that they will be that letting it loose all the way. They will be that wanting to get a hold as much as posisble.
4  Economy / Speculation / Re: continually being asked when 2025 ATH will be on: April 17, 2025, 09:13:43 PM
We are passed with March and so the count still is on going on. The hope is on  the 3rd quarter of the year.

We have the political backup now and we might see greater highs for BTC.

$150k? Or more.

We will see and we know that Bitcoin never disappoints every bull run, we've got some pushers now that will drive the prices up.
Nah.. I dont believe that much or having that hopes on political back ups on which those words that been said or given out into those people been saying about this and that, then i dont believe that much.
The advantage we do have now is that institutional money are flowing already into this market, but the shit thing on which do happens that it is somewhat that kind of being manipulative knowing that these fellas will be trying out to do on whatever they do want to do but somewhat basing up on how this market or crypto space do works then they cant totally get a hold of it completely in terms of control, but somewhat they do have that capacity when it comes into the aspect that they can be able to get having that some significant impact at the moment that they will be trying out to get down or pump the market.
Now on the question about on when ath do happens then pretty sure it will be on this year but we dont know about exact dates but we do keeps on projecting out on what are those dates basing up into the history or with the previous cycles ATH on which its been assumed on Q3 for this year. When it comes to potential price then there's no way that we can be able to predict whether it could shoot up to 150k or even more.
Well, for me then i do keep myself just that trying out to be versatile or someone who do just that go with the flow because we dont really know on what are the potential prices or value on which Bitcoin could have for this year. Just be patience and we will be that reaching out that time. Better to accumulate as much as you could before the market do shoos up and would be leaving you behind and made out that regret once more.
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How are casinos preventing hacks? on: April 17, 2025, 02:56:42 PM
Casinos are prone of getting hacked too.

This is just my speculation, even though I have no data to backup, I think centralized exchanges have more money than casinos, hence hackers prefer to hack centralized exchanges. Casinos can only strengthen their security, it's the same how centralized exchanges tried to secure against hackers.

Although the sites can improve their security, it's also applies hackers can improve their skills.

Yeah, that might be true. I believe the centralized exchanges have more money on their network, which is why they are the most prone to attacks from hackers. They know there's money there, especially those who support different cryptocurrencies on their trading website. Plus, they have a choice of attacking the traders themselves if they have a hard time attacking the owner.

Gambling sites, on the other hand, are just showing numbers on how much our money is, but all of the real money may be secured in a vault or probably a cold wallet that only a handful of their team could access.
We've seen breaches on exchangers on which there's no doubt that these places are considered as honeypots for these hackers because basing pu on the number or money that they've been holding then we can say that they will be normally targeting on which place do generate out more money but of course these platfors or business had learnt out those mistakes in the past on which if ever they are those mishaps that those other platforms being hacked do. There's no such thing about perfect security but as these business types do need up that kind of security strengthening then its something that needed up to focus on because this is where they do also build up their credibility and trust too because we do know that exchangers do build up trust and getting that much confidence at the moment that they can show that their platform is something that cant be easily hacked. There are those platforms that being hacked but eventually be able to recover but we do know that once trust is broken then it could be hardly be able to get it back on what is is before. These kind of businesses will be trying out their best for their platform to be exploit free, hacks could be done on human error or dealing up just like on what happeon Bybit recently on which it wasnt on technical but rather it is connected with human leaks.

7  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Don't join trading under pressure on: April 16, 2025, 07:53:09 PM
You captured it really well. Too many people start trading because they heard someone else make it without considering the whole picture, thinking it's a short path to get rich. They overlook the hazards the learning curve presents as well as the mental discipline required to stay in the market. I agree that before ever spending a single dollar, research and good education should take front stage. Long term development and wiping your account in days might truly differ depending on your knowledge of risk management and the workings of the market.

There really isn’t anyone who would want to trade without having heard or seen someone else having to show that they’ve been successful in trading and got themselves some good living.

Most things that are always not known to many is that; you never can tell if they are exactly telling the truth when they aren’t someone in your locality which is well known to you. Even when they are well known to you, some individuals could be much secretive and would go private on some or their major source of income.

You end up assuming it to be what you know them to be engaged with, pressure yourself into doing the same and end up not archiving the same results as they do. It could really be different sources.
People would only be able to see someone when they are already that able to make it through or become successful but its true that we dont able to see on what are those challenges and harship of a particular trader that gone through or pass through before they do achieved out such success. Usually we do able to focus on when it comes to the success or those good things but behind those success then there's no way that you can be able to realize on how hard for someone to sustain and survive of all the challenges on which trading do gives out. Trading isnt a get rich quick scheme on which most newbies be thinking at first. On the time that you've been having these first impressions then this is where usually do end up on having those actions because of too much confidence and having those bad assumptions on what it is. You will definitely be able to learn up things accordingly once you do have that actual experience towards things. Trading is something that could put you on pressure due to market unpredictability and on the moment that you do made out some position and you've seen your bags are on negatives then you do defitely be having that disrupted emotions on which it causing up that kind of little panic or pressure at the moment with those negatives keeps getting deeper. One of the hardest thing that you should developed is on about your emotions on which this is one of the important things that needs up to control and enhanced because once you do fail on doing so then it will be keeping you to get affected with your trading journey or career path.
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: My friend thought TRUMP would be 500 dollars before trump presidency on: April 16, 2025, 06:45:17 PM
My friend invested $100 in the TRUMP token, which was worth $56 at the time.  However, he was optimistic that the token would soar to more than $500 before the election.  Unfortunately, the token's value has declined significantly, and it is now selling at around $10.  Even if the initial forecast was not met, the friend was able to break even and avoid losses.  It is crucial to consider the unpredictable nature of token price and the volatility of cryptocurrency exchanges.
Predicting the current price of TRUMP.  According to certain projections, the TRUMP token's price could rise by 226.74% to $33.52 by April 28, 2025.  However, the Fear & Greed Index shows a score of 26 (Fear), reflecting a negative outlook.
One of the main problems for those people who do made out some investment is that whenever they do believe into something like a particular price. They dont even know on trying out to check on whats the current total supply of a particular coin on which means that they do believe that it could hit up a particular price because of some too much hype and positivity. Good thing that your friend do able to make out some break even or able to get out before the price do goes up into the floor because on the moment that you've been able to make yourself caught into the dump then there's no way that you can be able to recover out. We do know that once these tokens are on the extreme hype and when that dies down then you would be ending up on holding up some worthless tokens or simply the token becomes shit at the time that the community demand and hype is already gone. Therefore, its really that too dangerous or risky for you to get in on the moment that you've seen such tokens that are just simply built up because of the current hype that its existing. $500 is too much and for sure this will be an eye opener for someone who do able to made out some investment and having thoughts that they could actually made easy money with that. For those who do able to get out on profits then its good but for those who do get themselves get caught on the dump then this ends up an lesson learned for them.
9  Economy / Economics / Re: Don't waste your time for small money only aim for big money Job it on: April 16, 2025, 12:29:22 PM
I don't see matter what i do only thing is wjere you earn most and fastest are best.
Because Remember business and Job is only to make money so you can Do your main thing wich is enjoying the life fullest and 2h of the day should be Maximum to spend for earning money but If you close few deals in that time for example oil gas brokering you could make even 1 mil daily wich is good

We all want to do that; we all want to earn big money in the fastest and most legal possible way, but we cannot plan to do that if we do not want to start small. You need to build experience, make connections, and earn a good reputation to finally crack a big deal.
You just don't make a deal out of nowhere; you need to have those factors I mentioned before you can land a deal.
This is the reason why those who got big deals are mature professionals and experienced professionals because they know how to close a deal because they have been training for this all their lives, so the first step is to be patient to learn all the stuffs that will you need to be a good businessman.



Starting small might just be the way upwards but some people don't know this. I know someone who got recommended to a huge company by someone he once worked for, he had the skill, he was punctual and disciplined despite the fact that he wasn't earning a huge amount of money. For you to get to where you need to be you have to start acting like it. I absolutely agree with you on your well detailed points. Good jobs don't just out of the sky, they come to those that are ready for it.
We arent that recommending to be trapped with that 8-4 or 9-5 jobs forever but since not all do goes into the path on trying out to have some business or simply being an entrepreneur then they will be sticking into their day jobs. Speaking about into those positions that only earn a small amount of salary then everyone do starts on there and there's no one that do take up a shortcut not unless if there are some recommendations but of course it will be fitting out into their skills on which other people will be able to see or simply could be able to justify that you are that worthy for the said position. This is why when you do your job then always be at your best and as much as possible on which having that kind of progressive when it comes to skills being enhanced that might be leading up into some promotions specially if they've seen that you are indeed doing well with it. There are just that those persons who do want to have that direct promotions or wants to take up some high position without even trying to look at on their current skills and capacity on doing up on their job.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have You Ever Sued a Casino? on: April 16, 2025, 09:34:08 AM
In court, the casino also have more information, proof and statistics of user behavior to counter gamblers accusation. Gambler dont remember all their moves, but casino have all of them written down. If a gambler goes in court and try to sue casino for something, casino have multiple evidences of gamblers previous minor or major rule violations, that they can use against gambler. That is their ace in a hole. Gambler present one case of casino wrong behavior, casino present explanation why their behavior was correct, plus bunch of cases when that gambler play suspicious (I think just by giving an example of suspicious action is enough to change judges decision in casino favor).

Firstly, why are you so certain that the gambler had violated (minor or major) the casino rules at some point? Secondly, if the case has to do with the casino not paying me my winnings, what does my playing style/ gambling behavior have to do with it? Thirdly, going to court isn't without a case or about something random and general. Is specific. So, suing the casino for "something" is more than general and can't stand anywhere.
So let's give an example. I deposit $100 from a wallet/ bank account/ or any other way the casino allows. Without any problem in my accounts (not dirty/ marked). I play a slot game, and I win $5k. I went to the Cashier to withdraw, but the casino wouldn't let me. I sent them emails, but they didn't reply, or they said to me that I was violating their ToS. We have a dispute, and I believe that they scammed me, so I'm suing them. What will the casino present from my gambling behavior that makes me accountable? Nothing. What does my case have to do with other cases where gambler has suspicious activity? None. In other words, if the gambler is crystal clear, have nothing to fear.
Btw, if the casino presents cases of suspicious activity or any type of violation from any player, the judge will fine the casino for not blocking him and continuing to allow the player to gamble there. Oops!

I believe, that almost nobody reads ToS, and there, I think, there are lines or clauses with very specific info about playstyle. I cant give any example, as ToS are different, but lets suppose gambler is allowed to gamble only from one location. Does everyone follow that? I think everyone play "if I managed to login, then everything is fine with me". That is not 100% right statement, but rather a hypothesis. Secondly, I think that casino monitor and write down gamblers behavior. Example, if you login and start clicking on news or go directly to slots - it is you and your natural behavior. If you start session with checking withdrawal methods, then it might not be you. That is what I have meant with playstyle. You dont pay attention to that, but casino does and have records of your behavior. In court, they might use that against you. They might try to turn case into "it wasnt you that was gambling, so we took decision to cancel all results and ban you", and try to ruin case in court. In theory they can do that. All I wanted to say that casinos are sneaky and will try to find hundred reasons to turn victim into criminal.
I would say that 99.9% of gamblers do skip out on reading up that terms and conditions and who would be wanting to read up that pile of text and trying to find on what are those things on which it is just that always the same with other platforms or companies when it comes to terms and conditions. So they do assume out that its just the same but there those terms that will be totally be used against on a gambler and if you are someone who do violate something and the casinos do focus on that or thrown at you then there's no way that you can have the confidence on fighting back on which you dont even know or even sure on what are those violations and if you cant be so sure on whats happening then you wouldn't be finding yourself that trying out to sue them out not unless if you do have that solid evidence that you have not doing something wrong or stupid against their terms then you can have a fight but if you do saw the amount isnt that something worth that you can fight on then its better to let it go and move on. We do know legal fights wont come cheap and totally put a whole into your pocket but if the amount that we are talking on here is something which is too big then you can totally have that fight as long you do have the money to push on. Just make it sure that you have all of the possible evidences and hadn't violated something then thats whats important.
11  Economy / Speculation / Re: "what if" the bull run delays to 2026 while we're expecting 2025. on: April 15, 2025, 06:33:58 PM
I can't tell if there is a possibility or not, but what is in my mind is that the marker has never changed; it is still unpredictable. So I won't say your prediction and others made are right or wrong; only the future can tell.

Since we got into the question "what if?". Well, some are happy while some are not, but in the end, people still accept it. However, this never worried me because I was even prepared for whatever happened in the market.

But until I see no changes in the price trend in this 2nd quarter, I am confident that we will be going into a bearish market again.

We are still approaching on mid year on which means that we are still far for this year to be over. There are those projections that it might happen on Q3 but we dont know if it would be delayed on Q4 or even on Q1 of 2026. No one really knows on what actually this market would be taking into. The important stuff on here is that we do really know that this market cant really be that predicted no matter what we do on which its normal that there might be some unexpected changes if we do speak about derailing up its usual cycle. If it happens that bull run would happen on 2026 then so be it, but assuming that its been delayed then people might be thinking off that the bull run might be over on which it is on the time that Bitcoins price do hit up on $109k on which these are pretty sure the common words that goes out into most people mouth about Bitcoin is over and wont be having any chance to go up even more. Just like on what some people been saying on here is that people are being just that too impatient. They do just that totally change of hearts at the time or moment that they've seen that Bitcoin isnt making that huge move or simply that having that moving sideways. Instead on freaking out or having that stressful mind about the upcoming bull run exact date. Why cant just people wont be able to sit still and do make out some accumulation since the price is still not that shooting up into the stars? They will be starting out to make accumulation at the moment that its already up on 100+k+ level and this is where they will be starting out to have those regrets that they should have done it earlier when the market was still low.
12  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Positive mindset is needed during trading loss. on: April 15, 2025, 04:52:40 PM
Losses are something that every trader or investor cannot avoid, everyone has experienced it, not only in the investment world, especially in real life everyone has the potential to experience losses either financially or material losses.

You must include losses in your trading journal, so that you have the right steps to deal with situations like this, never invest all your money at one time, you must have a reserve fund allocation that you can use to buy back or for living needs in real life, at least until the price returns to the point you bought, so the potential for you to cut loss does not exist.

And it is true, it is the mindset that shapes the action, the psychology of trading becomes very important to increase the resistance to losses or profits earned, this will be formed over time, the higher your trading hours, the better your mindset will be formed.

No trader exist in this World who got only profit in his life . There are millions of trader who are in their positives and they faced loss and then they learned from their mistakes and did not do mistakes again and again which made them successful in life . Don't panic if any trader faced loss because that is part of game and he will get profit one day when he will be skilled person and then he can teach trading and can earn money from teaching because teaching has more demand.

There are many people are traders and they invest their money for short term and they want to live their life by trading but that is not safe as long term investment because market could be dramatically change.
Loses are inevitable and this is something that you do put up into your mind and its true that before those traders become profitable or someone who do become a professional, they have experienced the worst of these markets and on the situations that they've been through specially on losing money. Success isnt something that you can get in a short period of time on which simply means that you dont need to rush up yourself on learning up and become profitable because this is something that cant be able to obtain in a short time and with less work. Getting negative at the moment you do lost is normal and this is where stress and disappointment will happen on which it causes up for you to have that kind of disruption into your mind that will be mainly affecting your trading decisions. Positive mindset is easy to say but on the moment that you do experience a series of loses then this is where you will be able to find out that you would be gonna having a hard time on trying out to stick into your plans. You've been definitely be thinking on how these things do happen specially if you have applied your best analysis but still ended up on a loss. Emotions and mindset will be mixing up and making out those kind of questions on which it causes up that disappointment. We are just humans and we do normally be able to feel out these emotions, but eventually you can all made out some adjustments at the time that you had been able to gain enough experience.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Not everyone get dumped on by Trump coin, some made furtun on: April 14, 2025, 08:46:39 PM
The “significant growth” occurred practically at launch, currently, the currency is worth less than 1/3 of its value in January 2025. Now it has lost approximately 2/3 of its value.



For investment purposes, what is the function of the currency, its utility? What value does it generate for the blockchain ecosystem, and as a financial asset?

If there is none, it will be just another pump and dump currency!
Main thing that people cant just that realize and they would be rather sticking into those ideas that they do have in mind that they can be rich with these type of coins or lets say pump and dump tokens obviously. They are becoming that delusional at the moment or time that they've been believing that these coins could bring out a fortune. Lets just that talking about on the positive side of things first on which we do know that if there are people who do lose up big time then the other side there's those who do made out some easy money with it and it cant be denied that even get rich because of it but that would be only on few numbers of investors specially to those who do get in early or those who have been able to invest and buy these tokens when they are still dirt cheap. They made out a fortune and its undeniable but the majority of those people who do dive in are just that losers or ending up on holding up some shit tokens into their bags. Lets see the example on here is that people are now seeing their investment 1/3 of the price now specially to those who have bought on the peak. They dont have any choice but to hold up their position and this isnt a new story on which these prices will gradually going down to the ground on which it makes that even more lesser and lesser as the time goes by. You will be rather having those words of regret that you should have sold it out while its still 1/3 and these are the words of regret that would commonly goes out into your mouth. Always think off or consider out on which at the moment or time that hype dies down then expect that a project without having actual utiltiy or just being created to be a money grab and just being attached with some names that makes that extreme hype then it will eventually die in the end. Yes, there might be some exemptions that it might recover when it comes to community support and hype but still wont be that giving out guarantees and most of the time these types do fail and eventually die.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Shift from Anonymous to Regulated Casinos on: April 14, 2025, 01:11:15 PM
When I first started gambling around 2015, anonymous casinos and sportsbooks were the norm. Some of you might remember DirectBet - it was huge back then before eventually shutting down.

Now, the landscape has clearly shifted toward regulated platforms. Yet some anonymous options still exist. So I'm curious, where does the community stand today? Would you still choose anonymous casinos, or do you prefer sticking with regulated ones?
Its not only on gambling platform but also in exchange platforms as well. Going back into those days that exchangers doesnt ask out any KYC but as years passing by on which the field did really made out such change on which government had set out rules already into these businesses on which it do have that kind of regulation on which these businesses doesnt have any option or choice but to accept on whats been mandated, or else they cant be able to operate and thats something that they cant avoid but to comply if they wanted to continue into their business. The shift did made out that kind of changes on which we users dont have any choice but to deal or bare with it. These businesses are just following rules and regulations on which they do need up to comply and as users then we do have those kind of verification on which it do really sucks. Come to think that one of the main reasons on why crypto gambling had become popular because of being anonymous and having that easy accessibility when it comes to payment options but now it do make out some tilt and even requiring some KYC first before you can request or having a withdrawal which do sucks.

~snip

Theory without practice is nothing. If a person has learned something in school, become educated, but cant use that knowledge, I would say that his knowledge worth nothing and he has wasted his time. Relying blindly on education only is wrong, because school or university give only basic knowledge. Everything else person learn only when he use his knowledge.

That can sound wrong, but I would go with skill and master it, and dedicate less time to education, because today it is easy to find educated person, than a skilled master.

You are not wrong at all.
The labor market demands for skilled workers, while education act as the icing on the cake. In as much as the society tends to make more emphasis on education and having a good degree, those with skills(especially experience) are what companies look for. There is this saying that changed my mindset about the reality of life and going to school to get a degree.
It goes like this: "school teaches you a lesson and gives you a test, while Life gives you a test, and when you fail that test, it teaches you a lesson. I believe this is the situation so many people have found themselves when they neglect skill even while it is related to their degree.

Like I will always say, nothing can take the place of the other. Both are important, but it is left for everyone to make their choices.

Both are important, that is not a question, but skill is more important. Education, that is 12 years in school, 4+3 years in university. Without hesitation I can say that at least 3 years in school I have spend not very useful. If at that age I had a place which profession I would do, I would skip some classes and years. To bad school education can not be so individual. From 7 years of university, 1.5 were totally useless. It was time to write diploma work. I was doing it parallel working, I think I have attended university less than 10 times during those 1.5 years, but had to pay for study... Not everyone as me were working parallel writing diploma work, so those 1.5 years they slacked at home. They would better be getting experience during that period.
All matters about time management but we do know that due to hectic schedule on which we are still schooling or lets say that you are getting your course masteral then you will definitely be thinking that you do need to pass it out. It might be true that education might be worthless sometimes but we cant be able to deny the fact that once you do able to get or have these titles or lets say that you do have masters or even having that bachelors degree, then you do have at least that chance or having that much more better odds on landing a job. Lets just that accept the fact that these are the standards today on which if you have planned not to go to school and trying out to pursue other careers then this is something that you do need to mind off and make it sure that you arent that wasting up your time too on which you supposedly go to school rather than on spending time. Im not saying that you wont be trying out to grind into things that pertains about business or investment but come to think that it will be that just that too hard since you dont have the capital even if you do wanted to start up with that kind of plan. Therefore, you best solution will be that finishing up degree, get a job, then try out to find another side hustle or income that you do find yourself having that passion and interest and trying out to grind out slowly and gradually and as long you do have that progress then better to pursue it out.

Honestly I can't be stressed when it comes to a market crash but there's a way some people react to things especially things pertaining money, when they observe there's no profits coming forth, they start panicking and thinking of backing out or even remove all of their funds from where it is. But regardless when experience such situations i don't go on deleting my exchange apps but instead what i do is face the reality and get myself busy with some other activities that will occupy me and relieve me of the stress.
When you have been able to overcome stress when seeing a decline occur, of course you have understood very well how to profit from the investment you are running and by choosing to do other activities, of course it will help us a lot in dealing with such conditions and for some people who panic and decide to withdraw their funds in such conditions, of course they will regret the actions they took when they see the price go up again while they have experienced losses because they have made the wrong decision when the decline occurred.
Overcoming stress is very challenging specially if you are just that new or have just that stepped your foot into this market then emotional status isnt something that strong or established enough because you do lack of knowledge and the skills on which you do normally be having that kind of reaction because you are that having that kind of reaction. Market crash could happen anytime because of possible market factors that would be that trying out to come out without expecting for it to happen. Stress could happen into an individual if you arent that prepared into the things that you've been dealing into. Always just make it sure that you do have that stable coins into your exchange platform so that whenever the market crashes then you can bag even more and those coins be transferred back into non custodial wallet if you are planning for long term but if you do make out some short term approach then you can always play with the volatility at your advantage. It all matters about how you do able to sustain and able to survive this volatile space. Emotions could be mainly be affected because its neither a winning or losing trade on which we can be able to see on what are the reactions that we do made out on such certain point or condition.
17  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can there be a problematic addiction to trading? on: April 13, 2025, 09:50:34 PM
At the same time, the host of the show thought that he had exactly the same addiction as gamblers. But I think that this is not true, and those who trade spot certainly do not have an addiction.
And in general, I think that there is no addiction to trading.

What do you think about this? What arguments can be given that trading cannot lead to addiction?

They're so wrong for thinking there's no addiction in trading, trading is one of the things that have the highest addition. I believe after gambling, drugs then we have trading addictions leading because many people that are claiming to be traders, are only losers that don't want to accept the reality that they can't trade. Assuming the current people trading tell the truth to their own selves, they'll be looking for a new profession and not wasting their money every time thinking that they're trading. There's a very big problematic addiction in trading and the addiction becomes worse for people that are not only trading the spot market but are taking on more risks through trading leverage or other higher type of trading.
Addiction could occur on different things specially into the things on which we are that dealing into on which it could neither be also in other typical activities in real life on which we do on which it do ends up on becoming a hobby then it do becomes an addiction. On the time that you've become that too focused too much on a certain thing on which its already that out of the usual dealing or time that needed up to be put on, then this is already a sign that you've been addicted to it. The bad thing on other addictions is that it do compromise your health and specially money on which we know that it is that very a bad problem at the moment that it already gradually affecting out other things as well. Now that we are talking about trading then this is something on which you cant be able to find yourself that needed up to have also that proper handling and balance about on the time that you've been spending through it. Yes, grinding about trading its not bad because this is a skill that cant be learn easily but always consider on balancing things.
18  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In which situation you think you lose more? on: April 11, 2025, 08:32:23 PM
There are times when we can't control our emotions - like when we're losing and become aggressive because we want to win more, or when we chase losses and make reckless moves. Neither usually ends well. How about you? Which type of gambler are you,  the kind who gets aggressive when losing, or when winning?

Back then I use to be under this aggressive state when I lose and usually it made me lose control of myself and then it's not like there was a positive impact but rather I was on constant loosing streaks cause I can't control my emotions whenever I lose. And of a truth this happens to every gambler in the long run and I don't like anyone to hold on to this habits for long. But right now life is an experience you know and you tend to learn from every experience so at this point I'm neither of them cause I had to understand everything that's involve with loosing and winning and keep myself at base.

I do believe too that gambler experience this aggressiveness whenever they lose because I become like this in the past when I’m still have a lot of free time for gambling.

The only time I have a full control on my gambling is when I lay low due to my increased work because of my promotion. I focus most of my time on work that’s why I manage to have less gambling time that makes me more calmer when gambling despite losing money.

It’s very hard to change if you are still active on gambling. Decreasing your gambling time is one of the most effective way to fight this dillem of every gambler.
A must thing to be done but we do know that its not something that everyone could be able to pull on, specially on stopping or having that limiting kind of dealing up on the things that they've been dealing or being used to for so long. Who loses up even more money? For those people or gamblers who are on the current losing condition and trying out to deposit even further because they do believe that they can recover those loses back on which this is a very bad mentality that could definitely affect your overall finances if you are tolerating out such urge. Most of the time which gamblers do have that kind of confidence that they can actually be able to recover those loses back. Yes, this could possible happen but not all because luck factor isnt something that could give out that assurance that it will be happening at the time that you do chase up your loses. For those who are currently on a winning situation and been that in torn whether they do lose up more then since they are on positive then actually its just common sense that they do lose up much lesser but since if a certain person do think off that those winning amount is included into his losing amount + capital he had used then the situation in between two persons are just that the same. It did just turned out that losers earlier do have much more deeper loses in compared to those who had win up something then loses it back again to the house. Every gamblers do share up with the same story all over again and thats what makes this gambling industry to be come that so profitable because of this very common gambler behavior on which they've been that too greedy and being that too impulsive into the actions that they are currently taking on. When you do gamble then you should know on when to call it a day and completely stop at the moment that you had depleted your gambling bankroll or capital.
19  Economy / Economics / Re: Making Money Work for you instead of you working for money. on: April 11, 2025, 01:38:42 PM

Very importantly………..
keep learning, it’s a mindset shift that happens gradually.

All these thoughts came to me when I read Robert Kiyosaki's book about fathers. And it turned my thinking upside down. I simply saw the whole world differently and started looking for free funds to accumulate the necessary money mass for investing. Well, the only field for investing was Forex then, because it was before 2014. And unfortunately, I did not know then how bad domestic brokers are. That they do not withdraw money to the real market but just sit and count the money that was brought to them in the hope that I will lose it. And so I lost a lot but was able to acquire knowledge on trading, which was useful to me in the world of cryptocurrencies.
I've been through Forex and Options too i can say that i was profitable at first but in the end i have those loses too. One time i have been told by my friend on trying out on Futures on NAS and SPX500 on which i can say that im doing that well and this is also that applicable to crypto too on which i do made out some good positions as well. It doesnt matter on which one you would be that dealing into as long you are profitable or having that good position or positive then thats what matter the most. We do have our own challenges and struggles in life in terms of financial aspect and thats why people will be going into those options on which they do know that they do have the chance or odds that they could make their life way more better. Making money work for you is something a line for those who do have that financial capability on which at the time that you do have that money then you can either deal up with investment or business on which these are the only things that you can make out such possibility if you do wanted to have that passive income on which this is the way that you do achieve out that better financial status or condition.
20  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Telegram tap-to-earn projects on: April 11, 2025, 10:08:42 AM
I worked on Telegram projects for a while but I have not earned a single dollar from there till date. When I worked I thought that even if I earn a few dollars from here I will be able to earn a lot of money from all the things I am working on but I thought that and I can guess from the present that I thought the complete opposite and expected a lot more. Telegram Tap Tap Scam which is constantly cheating or deceiving people. I worked on paws Telegram mining for a long time but I got disqualified there and since then my mind has completely gone away from Telegram campaigns I consider it a complete waste of time.
Currently you will not find any good project in Telegram. Currently all projects are scams. Currently, participating in Telegram projects can not expect more than 1-2 dollars. You are right, currently participating in this project is just a waste of time. Notcoin and dogs were the best, you won't find better projects like these two projects. I participated in several projects in the past, but just wasted time. So currently I stay away from the Telegram mining project.
Once it becomes a hype then you do expect that there are tons of developers that would jumped in since people are pouring up their attention into its on which sooner or later when hype dies away then it will become that saturated and once it do happens the people who do get involved into bounties or whatever projects that they are doing and the tasks with it and ending up on having no gain with those because of becoming a scam then its not shocking anymore. Once the hype and interest are gone then you could expect that the market do filled out by tons of shit projects specially on Telegram based tap to earn projects on which its been having that tons that you can see right now. Surprisingly if we do check up on social media you can still see that there are tons of people who do still spamming out their referral links. You can see tons of variations or type of games that they are introducing, having some positive words attached to it but those people are totally trying to hook up newbies to sign up and thats not something new. When you are a bounty hunter then you will definitely be noticing this out because on seeing the rate of projects success couldnt be denied that its dropping because tons or almost of projects are becoming scams. Who would be on their right minds on spending up their time on something they've seen that its not profitable or worth anymore? I have tested out some tap-to-earn but not for the sake on trying to get an airdrop but rather i do enjoy up the game and dont mind much about on the earning that i could possibly get as long i do enjoy it out. Its not all the time though that we do go for money, im not saying into those tap to earn but rather into those TG games like having to build and some interesting games that available. We do know that not all will be that like those tapping to earn points and i dont see the fun on doing such stuff. With that $Notcoin mention then i have also joined up this one too and able to get those vouchers on which did actually give out some serious profits or money at the time that it did blown up.
