While reading some articles, Just found the headline "Crypto market has grown in Africa by 1200%". The greatest opportunity for the people of Africa to discover more about crypto and new web3 technology. Moreover, there is a chance that people would also start paying and accepting crypto.
Bitcoin has grown fast and has become legal in major countries. This is an indication that people had already gained knowledge and interest in this new technology, and these merchants will accept Bitcoin as a mode of payment.
Maybe 10 years from now, only a few people will still be using fiat money while the majority are using a cashless system paying with Bitcoin. This is what we called continuous development and would tell us that Bitcoin is not a scam but a kind of useful discovery.
1522  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If You Could Start Over, How Would you Learn Day Trading on: March 05, 2023, 09:54:32 PM
In my locality there are good tuitions for trading classes. They are so good that you can take the free demos before enrolling or paying heavy fees for the course. They would show you the examples of successful peeps who learnt from them.

I think I will start with those guys and then slowly go for my own demo accounts and trading on them eventually. I think my current thinking is not very good for trading. I will have to start over all of those thinking from the scratch for sure. Basically given chance I will need to redo everything.
Perhaps, it was a good start to having a mentor or someone who could assess upon learning to trade. If it had only been taught in school, many people had wanted to enroll and take that opportunity. Yet it was not as trading was not a known thing until cryptocurrency has come and built such an aura to make it more attractive. That is why it was easy for now to learn about trading as it was pretty available online, we can watch videos and demos which we can apply in actual trading. And it was good enough to start our trading carrier, perhaps, we can learn more through experience.
1523  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Never Trade on Emotions on: March 03, 2023, 09:00:17 PM
Definitely, we won't succeed in trading if we will not control our emotions because this is a manipulating factor that could affect our mindset which could lead to making wrong decisions. Many traders had come and just fail, and blamed themselves because they are too emotional.
I'm going to admit that sometimes I lose control of my emotions but of course, it was different when we are in trading, we have to think about the consequences of letting it happen all the time as it was disastrous to our plan. 
1524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino games plebs like us must play on: March 03, 2023, 01:33:55 PM

-snip

And ordinary gamblers like us can only play moderately and don't need to overdo it while we also don't need to chase victory like other people.
chasing wins is fine for me but what gets worse is chasing big wins, especially pleb gamblers.
because gambling is like a game and we definitely expect to win as a form of our pride that we are able to win occasionally. but keep in mind that we will definitely lose.

so, therefore, what you are saying is true, you don't need to chase victory, but just enjoy your bets in a relaxed manner and if you get a small or big win, it's just a bonus when you gamble at the casino.

The pursuit of win or big wins is the same in my opinion, there is a price to be paid and sometimes the money used to pursue it is spent more than what will be obtained, we can just try to calculate how much is needed to be able to achieve what we want. but it won't always go according to our calculations because gambling is difficult to predict both casino games and sports betting, so stay calm playing and accept any results without the need to take revenge to achieve more because that can make us lose control and end up in something which is even more disappointing
That really happens in gambling because we usually just rely on luck and if we are too unlucky, winning is impossible. Calculating what we possibly get is useless because not even sure we win. In fact, though we have huge chances of winning in sports betting but the truth is that, not all the time we win and it means that we can't predict the game 100%. How much more playing in casinos that only rely on 100% luck like lottery and dice games?
1525  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP future looks shaky and uncertain on: March 03, 2023, 01:03:31 PM

This issue has been running for a long time since Ripple has been facing different charges but the good thing is, it's still being trusted by many investors and it's still actively moving and reaching a good spot despite the challenges that it has been facing. For me, as long as it's being listed on a top exchange, it is still worth buying and holding. It can still be profitable, especially during the bullish season.
Yeah to respect those investors as they kept supporting XRP while there are many cases being filed against Ripple so I use to have XRP in 2019 but after the price crashed as the problem from SEC arise?
I sell all my coins and never buy ripple again till now, or I mean never Hold again but I am buying sometimes because I need to use as payment in some transactions .
for them it is still hopeful but for me? it is Hopeless .
Nonetheless, it was to admit the risk is really high dealing with a project that has been a problem with the SEC. Their reputation has been in question and one day, this project might go once the SEC wins the case and makes all investors lose their money. Do I admit I was still using XRP but never I think I would choose this for holding, just for the sake of a low-cost transaction fee?
We can't be hesitant about their issue as it was best to invest in a project that has no problem with the SEC and we can be sure that we are safe.
1526  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can we experience $80k this year? on: March 03, 2023, 11:30:31 AM
...
The price of BTC just drop down to $22k few days ago, which is another opportunity for those that missed last year not to invest in a stable coins to do it now because, the price of BTC will surely reach $80k before the end of this year 2023.
Are you sure investors will experience $80 this year?
You are not just very optimistic about the future of Bitcoin but you are overly speculating about it. Just look at the market trend, it never grows that fast but very slowly, and it leaves no confidence that the market will keep rising as we gonna expect some lows as well. In this current situation, though we are very positive the possible growth of Bitcoin's price but it was impossible to reach it $80k - we are not yet in bullish nor we can expect it this year.  Therefore, I would say that it was far from reality, might say it reach $40k, that is quite possible
1527  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Willing to invest on bitcoin but having some challenges. on: March 03, 2023, 11:04:07 AM
All the things you need to prioritize are acquiring electricity and internet.
If you don't have money enough to do it, I think the best thing to do is to take the lead in your community and ask for their financial support as well. It is really tough for you to do it but I see the reward is even great and you have time to be more active in the forum. This is not an ordinary problem because many people has been in this situation as well but if you never get tired of finding ways to do this, you certainly get it in the end.
1528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 03, 2023, 07:36:07 AM
I've also got an eye out for LA Clippers -3.5 vs Golden State Warriors, LA Clippers look really good the departure of Reggie Jackson and addition of Russell Westbrook have made them a really better team, and according to reports it's seems he's going to be among the starting five for Clippers tonight... I've also got a Props on him to make Over 7.5 assist tonight.

GL!

We have the same bet. I like the Clippers, as I was hoping for a big bounce back, and they are a healthy team compared to the Warriors who have been missing Curry for many games already. Unfortunately, it's not our night because the Clippers only gave us hope in the first half but forgot to play at a high level of competition in the second half.

I now realized that we should never underestimate the Warriors, they have the heart of a champion.

Danny I is now playing, and although I have not seen much action from him, it's still too early to tell. Meralco has a good lead early, but I think Converge will come back and try to make it a close game. I haven't seen much of a 3-point shooting game, as both teams are playing with great defense, and this game is very important for both.
1530  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why all these crypto-twitter "influencers" are still exist? on: March 02, 2023, 10:15:57 PM

And despite us having a strong and smart bitcoin community, why can't we win over "influencers" by showing people that they are all fake and lie all the time? We just literally need to who facts to do that.

My opinion is that these Twitter people are turning the crypto community into a freak show and people treat it less seriously because of that.
The community did the best thing to protect people from falling into scam projects as it was promoted by influencers through awareness and reports. But this is not enough to handle all of them, they are growing and they are getting smarter. Besides, it was not only the responsibility of the forum, but it was also the responsibility of the investors to assess the project that they are investing in. And these influencers never stop as long as they got paid and the developers will never stop as well as long as they still make money from their fake/scam promotions.
1531  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Emotion and Trade? on: March 02, 2023, 09:40:38 PM
I guess for someone to call him or her self a trader you need to control your emotions right, now after having that emotion in control and other basic things a trader should know you have all under control and still loss more then getting profit.

*What else is required for such a person to control,is it still his or her emotions or what next?

*And what will be your advice to a person in that position or state and what kind of trader are you going to call such a person?
Emotional control is one of the most important things a good trader requires; if a trader has patience, he can achieve great things including good profit; because crypto trading is one of the riskiest tradings in which one can lose his/her entire wealth in a few seconds with a single mistake, adequate knowledge is required coupled with patience in order to be a successful trader.
It is a must in trading and we make a habit to become strong in whatever happens in the market.
Traders usually fail because they are impatient and most of them think that losing not gonna happen in trading that is why they are very confident about themselves but when the crises come and the price dumps, this gives them a challenge on how to control their emotions and many had quit from it. They let their emotions run over them and make decisions badly.
1532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drake Loses $400K Bitcoin Bet on Jake Paul’s Bout on: March 02, 2023, 11:31:06 AM
Drake isn't the only one who has lost a lot of money at gambling, there have been many gamblers who have lost millions of dollars before at gambling. besides, Drake has also won multiple times at gambling before, so I wouldn't be surprised.

the lesson we can take is, no matter how reliable a gambler is, in the end, he will also lose at gambling. because gambling is a place to have fun, not a place to multiply money in a row.
another lesson we can take from Drake defeat is use the money you can afford to lose. because no matter how smart and rich the gambler is, he will eventually lose at gambling

Definitely! Some even lose millions of dollars, and yet they do not publish it. Besides, what benefit will they get from publishing their losses? The fact that Drake published his loss means that he gets a benefit from his post. It's kind of a partnership between the bookie, I think, so don't take it as a big deal.

Regarding gambling, it's not a matter of the size of your bet, but rather how much you can afford to lose. If you earn billions, it's only natural to gamble millions or thousands of dollars. But if you barely earn a thousand dollars a month, then your range should be less than $100.
1533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: March 02, 2023, 11:07:51 AM

Breaking news, Danny Ildefonso will be back playing for Converge this Governor's Cup, what are your thoughts on this guys?

That's the news for today in the PBA. I'm happy that he is able to play, and now he is the oldest active player in the PBA, surpassing Hugnatan and Reavis in the list. I haven't seen him play during his prime days, so now I have a chance to witness how great he is. However, I wouldn't expect too much from him since he is not young anymore.

By the way, congrats @mirakal, big payday
1534  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The fruit of greed is never good,, on: March 02, 2023, 09:05:51 AM
Too much greed will certainly fall into a scheme like this. It was different from just being greedy for a certain opportunity but before they make a decision they also run into dip research. But in the case of your friend, he forgets to even do research as he jumps into it without a doubt believing this could make him rich instantly. Such a promising words could enticely make you think it was true and been our of your mind thinking if this is a scam. That is a winning trick that most scammers/hackers does and no way he could get it back.
1535  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you say about this investment plan on: March 01, 2023, 10:27:30 PM
Is it safe to invest in Defi projects that has it's own Stablecoin? There is one project I like but the thought of having a stablecoin makes me feel unsafe about the project, we all know how such projects always end up, the mess with Luna and it's stable coin still lives in me till date.
The cost that Luna had made could really make us think that investing in stablecoins is no longer safe but we can't just think that all of these stablecoins are can't be trusted, some are still worth it. But of course, we still need to act with caution and we should have to know deeper about the project that we are about to invest in. Risky, yes absolutely but this is actually what crypto is meant for. If we don't have the courage and if we are doubtful of such a project, it is better not to invest them.
1536  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you have any financial regrets ? on: March 01, 2023, 09:49:39 PM
It happens that we sometimes missed opportunities because of our financial capabilities. Yes, it was regretful but never we could think about blaming ourselves for it because not all opportunities are meant for us.
In your case OP, you have the capacity to take the offer but refused it because of a lack of courage. But never take it hard because there might be even better than that opportunity. Besides, buying that area couldn't make you rich unless you develop it so well. Meaning, you still need to spend another hundred dollars again and I'm not sure if you are still able to do that.
1537  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Favourite MEME COINS? on: March 01, 2023, 09:50:17 AM
Well many people are making Floki Inu a favorite meme coin. Floki Inu up 400% in this past month and 82% in market cap.
https://www.bsc.news/post/flokifi-passes-30m-in-tvl-floki-highlights-china-strategy
That is an interesting performance from a meme coin and I could smell hype on it making the price rise like that because honestly, it is beyond expectation and anyone who can see its performance could really think there is something wrong - a sort of price manipulation. We already know the risk we got in this kind of trick, it was good for early investors but for those who just invest lately, that is too risky and possibly lose their money if they will hold.
1538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Figueroa vs Magsayo WBC Interim Featherweight Title (March 4) on: March 01, 2023, 08:26:02 AM
I am in favor of Magsayo in this matchup.
I voted Magsayo by KO/TKO.

It would be a great fight if Magsayo and Vargas have a rematch, both are no longer undefeated, one coming from a big win while the other came from a huge loss. So, the momentum is probably on Magsayo, and I have a feeling that he will be able to prove to us that he is better than Vargas. However, for that to happen, Magsayo needs to defeat Figueroa first, who is highly favored to win.
1539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: March 01, 2023, 07:43:19 AM

Yes, saw that news too, and it's going to hurt the Lakers chances to make it to the playoffs. When you think that everything is working on their end, and we saw James still plays during their massive comeback and then limping out, and this could be the price to pay for that comeback of them.


He is getting old and became injuries prone to hunt him nowadays even though he takes care of his body more than any other NBA player right now. Too bad for them and they've just easily lost tonight against the Grizzlies. Maybe this year will not be their destiny to be playing in the NBA playoffs and even though they can manage to get to the play-in tournament, surely they will gonna struggle and probably will gonna be knockout without Lebron James to help them inside the court.

Without LeBron and Davis, or either of them not playing, will certainly hurt the Lakers. With what happened, I'm sure their chances of winning will drop, as they have lost their leaders. Let's wait for more updates regarding the injury. If he will miss games, hopefully it won't be for too long.
1540  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What happened to this Eth Investor? on: February 28, 2023, 09:48:14 PM
That is possibly correct OP either he is dead or lost his keys. I couldn't imagine as well to a person who has that great amount in his/her wallet can still afford to hold until now and it is certainly there is something wrong happened to the owner.

Actually, this is a very common thing that happens to old investors as they never think that this will happen to crypto because, in the first place, we never care about it until such time comes we are badly needed for it and seeing it valued more than what we think before.
