Newbies and those who have the brag attitude in them this is for you, don't ever and ever talk about crypto to people who know where you lives, that includes your neighbors because you will be marked, crypto is a like Fiat, if anyone wants to rob for Fiat bank is the way but crypto? You keep your keys safe at home, when criminals know this you are in for some trouble

I agree with you, especially in times when crypto is gaining so much value. I mean you don't tell people you have many ounces of gold at home either. But on the other hand, I can understand people who have become wealthy overnight through their crypto investments. It's part of the human DNA to mess around with it. But it must be clear that this can also have consequences and become dangerous.
Well, its normal for some people to sometimes brag about their achievements especially if that makes them a famous one. However, when it comes to investments since that is associated with money, talking less and living in privacy is what will make us safer than any other way. Otherwise, we will be the target of scammers and robbery because they already know everything about what's supposed to be a secret.
1442  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin the best investment at the moment? on: May 25, 2022, 10:37:08 PM
If you ask investors at this time they will say Bitcoin, as we know that Bitcoin continues to be trending in News and Social Media because more and more world's top influencers like Elon Musk continue to invest in Crypto like Bitcoin, and so on. Compared to other types of investment, of course the right choice is Bitcoin which has been proven to be the most profitable.
Despite of its high volatility, bitcoin remains to be the best asset or investment in the market. This is why a lot of crypto influencers have been known in the market but sadly, most of them are only for the money. However, if you want to be profitable in bitcoin, there's no need for crypto influencers to mentor you, your knowledge and skills are good enough to make a smart investor. Although experience still matters the most.
1443  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Should I buy BTC or DCA other coins? on: May 25, 2022, 04:32:38 PM
Since prices are down, I am going to spend some money for shopping. Not a lot, just what I can spend.
Now the question is, should I buy BTC (currently I don't have any BTC) or should I do DCA for ETH, SOL or DOT?
Now the reason I am asking this question is I have some of ETH, SOL and DOT, and I still consider that my ETH and DOT average prices are little bit higher, so DCAing would be nice option. But then, given that the I am little concerned what might happen to SOL and DOT in this phase of the market. Anyway, thanks. 
Since you are skeptical with those other coins, then focus on buying bitcoin through DCA. That way, you will always have a good amount of bitcoin in your portfolio because you never miss the chance to buy at every price drop. And with those altcoins you wish to invest like SOL and DOT, DYOR first before you decide to invest. I won't suggest to buy them or not, trust your own analysis so you won't regret in the end.
1444  Economy / Economics / Re: What happens if BTC's price falls to $8,000? on: May 25, 2022, 03:59:04 PM
I suppose I would buy a few more coins.
Then you're not alone. A lot would be taking advantage with the current price and buy more bitcoin for long term hodling. While others are in panic and fearful, let's be greedy this time. Though being greedy do not result into positivity, but i think this is an exception. Its good to always seize the opportunity and be profitable in the future, than to stay skeptical and end up missing another opportunity again.

Argentina is about to launch bitcoin education in their curriculum,  this is going to take place in 40 High schools with about 4,000 students.  This is  an Interesting news many  bitcoiners have been waiting for,  I think this won't just end in Argentina,  other countries will take this same good  within a short time.

Argentina  is the second highest  bitcoin  adopter in Latin America,  I the reason for the innovation is to make students  know  the importance of bitcoin. The economy of Argentina is suffering in the hands of hyperinflation.

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/business/bitcoin-education-launches-in-argentina-for-high-schools
I guess other neigboring countries will also adopt this program once it ended up being successful. Not only the students will benefit from this, but even the country itself will have a brighter future ahead knowing these students could be their only hope for their country to improve and prosper through bitcoin. Educating them at their earlier age about how important bitcoin is could lead into digging up their potentials and their interests in bitcoin.
1446  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What you should do in this type of market on: May 24, 2022, 10:41:38 PM
I think that was a brave way to invest your money in this type of project during the dump I don't usually buy some altcoins that doesn't have that good project I usually buy alt coins that is good since even if there is a dump there is no way that it wouldn't recover as their project is a good one not like the one that was shilled all over the internet just to pump and after a dump it usually don't go back to its original price or trend.
Every time we invest and take the risk, i think that's one way of showing how brave we are. But no matter how brave we become, if we had invested in the wrong projects, everything will certainly end up in a mess. So as much as possible, never fall for easy investments as they won't be good for long term. Investing in projects during the bear market is always a big challenge for us, and so we should always DYOR and make a good analysis before we decide to put our money in those projects we tend to believe.
1447  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Another warning for every NEWBIE! on: May 24, 2022, 10:08:08 PM
I know most of us here already knew what happened to $LUNA but for the sake of beginners, I want to reiterate and give a warning about investing and going all in on this market.

I saw a post online in our local group about money investing and he shared his experience their about losing all his life saving money because of $LUNA investment, this is very heart breaking and that guy really want to end his life which I hope he wont do it. This is why I want to list some of the reminders about crypto investment and I hope every beginners here won't do the same mistake.

CRYPTO INVESTING - SHORT REMINDER

1. DON'T USE YOUR SAVINGS FOR YOUR INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES - Use your separate funds if you are going to invest on any market and make sure that you are ready to lose that money because investing is not a guaranteed way to make profit, so have some funds for this.

2. DON'T BORROW MONEY - Many still do the same mistake like this and when the market turns to negative, they are also drowning and the situation will get worst simply because they use the money which is not them. If you want to become profitable, save for your capital first.

3. DON'T BE GREEDY - If you already lose money, you should stop for a while and study again so you can know what's wrong with your strategy and start analyzing again so you can do better next time.


This is just a short reminder since I want to highlights the important things you need to know before investing.
There's a lot of news about suicide incidents because of losing money on their investments, and I don't want you to ended up on the same path so please do your own research first and again invest only what you can afford to lose.
These are considered the basics when it comes to making investments but still most of the newbies fall for it. Maybe because they don't see theirselves as long term hodlers but they are more on seeing crypto as a get-rich-quick scheme. The reason why they tend to be more aggressive and end up falling for their mistakes and lose their funds. The fate of Luna was totally unexpected, and we can't afford bitcoin to end up that way too. So as much as possible, invest with caution and never fall for wrong dispositions in life.
1448  Economy / Speculation / Re: What was the most deceitful speculation you ever fell for on: May 24, 2022, 09:39:20 PM
Mine was Bitcoin hitting $100k before the end of 2021 and BNB reaching an ATH of $1k  at the same time. I don't want to mention that of doge coin surpassing $1 and Shiba inu making it's way to 50cents. I think many fell for some of this careless speculations and relied solely on it neglecting our own research in which i too was a victim. What speculation did you fall for
You are not alone there. A lot have come to believe that bitcoin will surely hit its new ATH at $100k but it ended with a bear price. The reason why i never sell most of my coins when bitcoin hit its first ATH because i firmly believe that bitcoin will certainly end up with a new ATH before the year ends. However, not selling those times does not mean i'm losing either, but those who bought bitcoin when the price at its peak price and resort into panic selling afterwards, those were definitely end up in a huge loss.
1449  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador will be the richest country in the world in 8 years? on: May 23, 2022, 11:47:48 PM
I saw this post and what do you think? Is it possible for him to become that rich in such a short time?

look at the post here https://boletimbitcoin.com/2022/05/19/com-o-bitcoin-el-salvador-sera-o-pais-mais-rico-do-mundo-em-8-anos/
El Salvador is not a developed country since then. So even if they start to use bitcoin as a legal tender, i don't expect much from this country but just a little improvement that they can get from the profits they will gain from bitcoin in the next possible years. But honestly, i don't see El Salvador to be the richest country 8 years from now, its still quite impossible to believe. I would only have my high hopes if El Salvador has been a progressive country way back then and that bitcoin could become a tool to realize its country's goals that will put the country in line with those wealthy countries.
1450  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I’m done with trash coins!! Looking for something promising on: May 23, 2022, 09:31:20 PM
Currently investing very large in the face of risk because the value of bitcoin and altcoins is unstable and the decline continues to occur, moreover, you want to find coins that are low in value but can get a big profit is certainly very difficult to find in the current situation, then just look for potential altcoins for us to hold at this time and patience is the capital that we must use so that later we will feel the profits in the future.
With the current bear market condition, its hard to trust your money for new altcoins as most of them end up in shitcoins. If you are looking for more profits in the future, then stick to bitcoin. That way, you will have more profits than losses. However, altcoins are only good when it comes to ethereum but the rest of them are still risky to invest. Although all coins seem to be promising in the start, but the question is how long they can sustain their value in the market especially when a sudden crash occurs.
1451  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to proper trade in you asset in this market situation? on: May 23, 2022, 08:50:47 PM
Decisions you could make on a bear market.

1. Hold your position (If you have bought on higher price)
2. Buy on the dip (This is where people boggled up their minds in regarding with bottom price)
3. DCA
4. Dont care nor make yourself stressed on this particular times.

Each decision would be made will be entirely be depending on someone because not all would really be
ending up on the same results whenever they do follow someone.It all matters into your own
decision and perception on things.
In a bearish season like now, hodling will always be the best option, trading will only be successful when the market has slowly return being stable again. But for now, don't stress yourself OP, accumulate more potential coins if you want while we can make the best buy, because once the market has return to normal, then all these coins will come up increasing their value again. You can hardly do trading this time, but you can prepare yourself by buying those promising coins you wish to trade in the future.
1452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your NBA Champion this season? on: May 20, 2022, 08:20:04 PM
Things are getting exciting for the celtics fans now, after they beat the Heat in game 2 in a blowout win, Celtics are now rank next to the Warriors on the favorites ranking to win the NBA finals.

Who among you here think that Celtics vs Warriors is going to be the match up this season?

Things will get hotter in the days to come because the Boston Celtics will not play on their homecourt in the next 2 successive games and that is surely an advantage that they don't want to miss. Sorry for Miami Heat fans but I have to say that the Heat don't really have some hype and people are more excited on seeing the Celtics on the Finals.

There's a big chance that the Celtics and Warriors will match-up for the Finals. However, I would like to see some new faces and I mean Mavericks vs Celtics.

Well, that would happen if Mavericks will bounce back after a very disappointing game 1 loss. I don't think they'll make another surprise going to the NBA Finals, they already did with the Suns, I highly doubt they'll do it with the Warriors.
1453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 20, 2022, 08:09:56 PM
Next game I have Dallas +6.5.
This is a sharp bet. Everyone is on the Warriors in game 2, even myself felt that Warriors would easily beat the Mavericks in game 2, but my mind says that what if it's another trap, so I'll probably go with you mate, no looking back now.
That's the spirit!  Wink Although I am betting against it. Warriors -6.5.
But I am intrigued by how the Mavericks will be adjusting to this game. They don't need to go back to their homecourt to show it. Do it as fast as possible and shock the Warriors with how flexible they can be and their bench.
Expecting a close game in the first half but we know how magical the Warriors can be in the 2nd half. Splash brothers are still not showing their true performance yet.


That's the thing, shock the Warriors, well, if they can do that, they will be the first team to beat the Warriors on their home court in the playoffs. It happened yesterday on the Celtics vs Heat game, Heat got their first loss at home in the playoffs, and not only a simple loss, but it's a blowout one.
1454  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 20, 2022, 01:44:00 PM
I was wrong thinking Miami Heat will have a 2-0 before Game 3. My guess is, that the Heat and Celtics will take their respective home advantage then they will meet at Game 5 with a 2-2 series then that's the time we will have a headache on what team has the upper edge.

The Boston Celtics take that Game 1 loss as a lesson and look at what they did, defeating Miami Heat by a large margin right at their home court. The Celtics will be back at their home and maybe can get a 3-1 lead before returning to the Miami Heat arena.

Yeah, it was a different Celtics that showed in game 2, but the same, they took a good lead. But this time, they didn't let it slip away again. So they steal one game so now they have a homecourt advantage. Possible that they can get a 3-1 lead if the Heat can't adjust on the next game. Butler has been criticized even by the Miami Heat fans, so I expect him to bounce back in game 3.

That was a big lead, in fact, Heat has not won a single quarter, they were only able to tie the 4th quarter which was their best quarter. Butler still had a good shooting night though, he scored 29 points but his teammates were not able to contribute well unlike the Celtics where 3 players have 20+ points.

But I guess everyone expects Jimmy to have like 40 game performance again which is not going to happen because Marcus Smart is going to make his life miserable inside the court. Herro was a disappointed from the outside, Oladipo as well who I thought could have a breakout game. While Bam can't assert his dominance in the center again. Williams is playing physical and it seems he can't make a decent position to get a offensive rebound.

Smart is really a big help for the team, remember in the series against Bucks, he was also very aggressive and you can tell that he is working hard for his team. Marcus Smart had 24 points, and 12 rebounds.. .and 3 steals, for me, he was the best player in that game.

1457  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reason why I put all my money in Bitcoin as a newbie on: May 19, 2022, 05:43:06 PM
Putting literally all your money into Bitcoin is not a good idea, not in a sense that you should buy some alts, but in a sense that you should have other investments and free cash. Rule #1 is to never invest what you can't afford to lose, and no one can afford to lose all their money.

And as for alts, no one should be touching them, newbie or not. Fundamentally they have no value.
Bitcoin, no matter how profitable it is, will not always be a safe haven and won't always guarantee profits all the time. So putting all your money in a single investment like bitcoin, brings a lot of risk and that one could lose everything. The reason why you should learn to diversify your investments, not only in crypto but also in stocks, bonds or in real assets. However, i don't mean to discourage newbies from investing in bitcoin, but only invest on the amount you can afford to lose.
1458  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you know why Bitcoin price is dropping down ? Don't Ask Satoshi ? Just buy ! on: May 19, 2022, 05:10:35 PM
It is difficult to control oneself when the entire crypto market is heading into hell, bringing down prices rapidly. Selling now will only take a loss if BTC was bought at a higher price than it is now. You need to ignore the panic and stick to the plan. When you invested in bitcoin, you had a plan of action, didn't you? Or did you want to sell in a month or two, become a millionaire and rush off to your own island? That doesn't happen. Any investor must go through the ups and downs of the market. The financial well-being of the investor will depend on how he behaves at these moments.

I fully agree with OP. Don't be afraid - buy bitcoin! Smiley Discounts will not last forever.
  If you believe that bitcoin will create positive changes in your life, then don't miss this opportunity to buy more and hold. Be greedy while others are fearful. That way, you will never end up making regrets because you stick to what you think is right. Do not be bothered by how others criticize the crypto market and bitcoin, after all its your money that its going to lose, and its your investment that is going to prosper.

I don't experience any of what is mentioned above. I'm just a typical gambler who only risk what I can afford to lose, I gamble for fun that's it. However, I will not deny that sometimes I also do mistakes but the good thing is that it does not make me a compulsive gambler.
1460  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Western Conference Finals (Warriors vs Mavericks) on: May 19, 2022, 11:29:58 AM
The splash brothers does not have to work hard anymore because of role players like Poole who can score on a consistent basis.

And also, let us not forget the contribution of some players on the Warriors roster.
Wiggins 19 points
Looney 10 points
Green 10 points
Porter Jr.10 points.

And not only that, Warriors also dominated the rebounding department with 51-35 difference.
