1481  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Let's always remember how important our lives are. on: May 12, 2022, 10:49:08 PM


The current state of the crypto market may result in more unexpected suicides among crypto coin holders and investors.
I'd like to use this medium to provide some motivation to my fellow cryptocurrency beginners. This is an unforeseen scenario that will be difficult to overcome, but let us remember how precious our lives are. If we lose our money but remain alive, let us have more hope because if there is life, there is hope; suicide is not an option; patience and commitment are the best options right now.
I'm not sure how many people have committed themselves as a result of the current crypto market situation in different parts of the world, but suicide is never a good.
Our lives matter to our society, families, and friends, so let's stay strong and bear with this predicament; I'm sure it will pass sooner or later.
Money is not everything. And even if you lose, you don't have to ruin your life just because of that mistake. The world has a lot more to offer so always embrace the possibilities that someday, you will come to realize all what you have dreamed for. And one more thing, crypto investment is not easy and definitely hard to make profits, so never enter into crypto if you can't handle its future risks.

A word of advice, Please use small test amounts to first open positions until you are familiar with how everything works if it's your first time, especially during these times when the market is very volatile. I say this because I am, I had a bad experience in 2020. I lost my whole position to liquidation within  a couple of seconds of opening it  Grin
That should always be the first thing to consider, as you will mostly lose than win from trading especially if you are still a newbie on it. So start with a small amount first as you are still like exploring the whole trading market, and when you are making profit already, you can adjust the amount after that. However, whatever you want, long term or short term trading, the result will always be the reflection of how well you know trading from the start.

Some people like to grab the opportunity when it's available instead of waiting for the perfect moment because we never know it will happen or how long it will be there, but I agree that 27K will not be the lowest low of this cycle, probably somewhere around 20K is good buy.
I guess its easy to say that let's just be patient and wait for the lowest price of bitcoin, but the problem is how can we determine that its already the lowest price? The thing that no one can tell that's why we tend to grab every opportunity that comes. But i think bitcoin price right now is already a good time to buy, maybe dollar-cost averaging can be already done if we don't have the bigger budget to buy this time.
1484  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think we should do with our investments in times of uncertainty? on: May 11, 2022, 11:52:03 PM
Quote
While it is true that no one is a fortune teller, the investor has no choice but to invest with an expectation. From analyzes and appraisals, assumptions arise. And, then, from the assumptions, the purchases or the sales arise. The optimist thinks that the price of his favorite asset will rise in the future. And the pessimist thinks exactly the opposite. The strategist instead prepares for both scenarios. What if the price goes down? What happens if the price goes up? What you want is to grow financially with the greatest possible stability.
In my opinion when we talk about cryptocurrencies it is not known what can happen, it is really uncertain that prices fluctuate day by day, since in addition to being very high one day it can be very low, it should be noted that there may be crypto assets that people tend to follow , which have a lot of movement in the market (this almost always remains at a resistance) but in the same way these markets remain in a very inconstant ups and downs.

From my point of view there are two types of investors, the first is here that when they realize that the cryptocurrency is in a bearish state, they feel fear and prefer to sell their investment completely, this either generates little profit than expected or at worst the cases lose what was invested, and the second is the visionary who, when the cryptocurrency is in a bearish state, buys and waits for a bullish state to sell at a high price and obtain very good profits…. In my case it would be the second since I consider myself a winner and as they say "he who does not risk does not win".

A few days ago I talked about this a bit but I didn't go into depth as such and I wanted to see what you guys thought. What would you do in uncertain times?

Just hold. After all, the market will always recover so there's no need to end up in panic selling. And besides, the market is always unpredictable as it seems. The bullish market will not always as it is, there will always a bear market expected after a bull run. So learn to adopt the changes in the market and ride with it, that way you will never be in a huge loss. And always be patient and stay being optimistic, that is a smart investor should be.
1485  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Short term investment suggestion on: May 11, 2022, 11:31:28 PM
Like holding bitcoin for at least six months to a year is what is known as the short term investment. Do no mind I use bitcoin and not mention any altcoin.

I will prefer to invest in bitcoin.

Best to wait and let bitcoin fall to around $30000 to $35000. Then you can invest. Short term may not be accurate, the price of bitcoin may not fall to that price, it may fall to the price, anything can happen.

The best is to have long term investment strategy, thinking of 4 years or more. With this, you can even buy bitcoin now, wait for ATH. After next halving, bitcoin may reach six digits. Bitcoin ATH was $69000, the price is at $42500 recently, that means there are corrections already, a good time to invest but on long term.
Bitcoin will always be good even in short term, but it will be more profitable if we hold it for long term. Because as its value keeps on appreciating, holding it for quite long years will eventually makes a single coin very expensive which means huge profits if we start selling. However, just decide to sell if you don't have funds it fiat, otherwise you may lose your future profits.

7. BTC will be seen as the most safest place to be, which it is actually.

Even safer than some stable coins.

This is the time when  a lot of people will understand why most cryptocurrency veterans have more than 70-80% of their portfolio in Bitcoin (or even 100%).

Bitcoin will most probably recover from this crash. Most altcoins won't.

In short term we do really some amazing altcoin opportunities. But in the long term, bitcoin is the king.
At the end of the day, bitcoin will always dominate the crypto market. Although its not really a safe haven, but in all crypto coins that are existing, bitcoin will always be the safest coin to invest. Other than that, shitcoins will always be the coins we should learn to avoid. Legends know that for sure, but for newbies, they will always have different views on that.
1487  Economy / Economics / Re: Will BTC be used as a world currency?? on: May 11, 2022, 06:29:45 PM
It might stay as an asset for a very long time. I'd suggest you swallow that truth first and just be surprised in happiness if ever Bitcoin will come the world's currency. It had been battling to exist in this world while others are trying to erase it, perhaps we should start with that.
Not that I doubt Bitcoin's capability of being adopted by small countries but it is the human mind that I doubt to accept it.
The belief about a physical money is still clinging to the brains of the people. Traditional way of trading money for food or other things with the use of a paper, plastic or a metal. That cannot be easily erased.
Bitcoin will only be a world currency if the government sees it, not on how we see it. Otherwise, they will remain an asset for a long time. However, some of the small countries have adopted bitcoin as a legal tender, if they can influence big countries, i guess that will mark the possibility for bitcoin to become a global currency. Bitcoin have become mainstream, so let's see what's the next big thing to happen for bitcoin.
1488  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it Really Trustworthy? on: May 11, 2022, 05:45:39 PM
Suppose you woke up tomorrow morning and found that Bitcoin had dropped to 0$, or that Bitcoin had disappeared or been scammed. How will you be at that moment?
This is unbelievable. Bitcoin will never turn into a scam and will never drop into 0 value. A single coin will only be valueless if there is no longer demand anymore. But with bitcoin, the demand is still very high. Although its price has dropped significantly in the past few days, but we have always seen it recovering. However, what you are saying could only happen to shitcoin. And bitcoin will never be a shitcoin, that's for certain.
1489  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The trend is your friend if you know how to identify it)) on: May 10, 2022, 11:44:00 PM
How to determine the trend for bitcoin?
Share tools or your opinion on determining the turn for bitcoin.
If we are talking about trend, then it's surely depends on the news you are getting on the internet. You may need to subscribe on some of those news medias in the internet that are covering about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general, also keep a track on influencer's social medias as well because they could give you some insight about the hype/trend in later date.
Social media is one way to be more updated on the current events and trends of bitcoin. However, we should only rely for those news that are legit and reliable, and stay away from fake news. Also, learn some trends through participating in some legit telelgram channels, or even watching blogs from crypto influencers who have made big achievements in crypto.
1490  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbies: Stay away and avoid all bounties! on: May 10, 2022, 11:11:48 PM

it was worth it back in 2017 but today is just not going to make you money anymore. the teams making these tokens will have to spend a lot of money probably more than they could get from the funds they get to enlist the token to an exchange. while you will have a ton of tokens rewarded to you, you may not be able to trade them. 

it's time to ask the teams for BTC as payment, not thier tokens. time to demand BTC from them or no exposure.  Grin
Bounty hunting has lost its golden days and will never be profitable again. The reason why most of the bounty hunters stay away from bounties as there is no decent income that we can get in exchange of our time and efforts. However, if things get back and owners will start to pay us in bitcoin, then why not? Bitcoin will never be useless and won't lose its value in time.
1491  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you want to live a peaceful life? Without drama? Then HODL and enjoy the ride on: May 10, 2022, 09:53:26 PM
This would be a great way if you are always going to be positive and see the things that BTC can give. You know that you are going to be able to "diamond hands" it all the way because you know where you stand on it. If you focus on one thing, you can definitely be unaffected by the price changes because overall, you can see the view and the positive things it can give in the long run. Just HODL.
That should always be the motivation if you aim for long term hodling, not to be bothered by its price volatility and all the market's highs and lows that will make the market always unpredictable. Good thing if you stay and focus on your goal, because in the end you will be gaining the highest advantage from not selling your coins. Not all people are capable for long term hodling, because even if we think its less risky than trading, but still hodlers could sometimes get panic too if they see that their investments are not working anymore. The reason why long term hodlers should have more patience and courage above others.
1492  Economy / Economics / Re: Get, Save & Invest. on: May 09, 2022, 11:48:33 PM
In saving, you're practicing the discipline on how to become responsible with the hard earned money you've got. It's actually a good start if you're not an investor yet you're starting to make sure that your money is well spent.

And being an investor, it is being learnt in the process when you've come to understand that your money sleeping in the bank isn't going to multiply by just being there.

That's how you're going to be open in investing but, don't listen to all people that suggests specific platforms where to invest because as an inexperienced investor, you may fall to scam investments and that's why before investing you need to make your own analysis and research where it's good to invest.
Since you work hard to earn that money, then you should always be skeptical to spend it especially if you are not sure if investing it in a new platform will work or not. That is why we should always DYOR first in every investments we attempt to make so that our money will not go into a waste. Although there's no guarantee in making such investments, but knowing what and where to invest will always lessen the risk of losing our funds.
1493  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Few Steps To Avoid Losses In Trading. on: May 09, 2022, 09:41:57 PM
Let me add one more

Do not trade with shitcoins

If you trade with shitcoins, it can be the beginning of losses, if the trade does not favour you, you could have lost most of your trading funds until you realize what shitcoins are.

Some coins are also just like not rising during bull run but continue to be stagnant or fall, until the bear crypto begin and the shitcoin continue to fall more than others. That would indeed be a pain in the ass.
You are not knowledgeable in the first place if you end up investing and trading with shitcoins. Although they may be profitable at first, but their value eventually drop as time goes. That makes them not suitable for long term hodling and trading. However, if you want to maximize your profits in trading, always go with bitcoin and established altcoins as their value appreciates more than your preferred shitcoins, so you can expect that you can trade them at a more decent value.

Greg can bring his talent abroad, so probably the reason why he is asking for a maximum that is higher than what NP can give is that he has an option to play abroad, or probably other teams could be interested with him. Actually, as of now, I think Greg now is a better player compared to JMF.

If I read it right from social media, NP negotiates with Greg offering him a max contract, but Gregg is asking for something above from that max contract, something that will be discussed behind the door. NP is willing to give him what the association is allowing, but not the perks that Gregg is looking. That's why he didn't sign it,

I'm not sure who's telling the truth here, but seems it's Gregg or his agent has some issues. If he's aiming for a better deal, he can try playing outside,

not sure though if space for a big fellow like him is far more important since teams are more likely to pay big players who can dominate and help them inside the paint something that other raises can provide and are more valuable for contracts to help the team.

Greg seemed to value himself so high, that he is negotiating like the team could not resist him. Well, NP is not a big market in the PBA, he should have ask the SMB or TNT, maybe he will get the offer. What if the TNT will sign him? I think TNT would be able to match the SMB and BGSM, and the next season will be more exciting.
1495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Celtics vs Bucks 2nd round Series. on: May 06, 2022, 12:41:16 PM
If the stats are accurate, then I would not hesitate betting on the Bucks in game 3.
I agree the Bucks are still scary and already did enough damage on Boston so they could definitely close this series within 6 games if they can hold their ground at home.

After they got crushed in game 2 they'll surely take back the lead again and their odds are definitely good enough to take @1.66 for the moneyline and -2.5 for the spread.

I like your prediction, yes, a 4-2 score is possible if Bucks will win the next 2 games. They are good at home, so they'll certainly fight for their home court to ensure a win. Bookies does not see that, they are still underestimating the Bucks making them underdog in the series.

For sure punters knows that but they still believed that the Celtics will win game 3 despite the fact that it will be a road game for them.

But I like the spread -2.5, I might take this one as Giannis will probably have a monster game in front of home crowd.

I'm expecting that as well, Bucks need to win game 3 so they can secure the lead in the series. They cannot be complacent that they stole one game on the road, if they'll win game 3 and game 4, they only need 1 win to win the series, and they can do it at their home if they lose in the next game on the road. We are just making our prediction now, but let's see how the game would bring us, it should be a fun game and I'm hoping a close game.

Not worth a risk to play Joel Embiid in game 3. It is reported that he has broken some bone in his face and so it will bother him if they forced him to play.

I know that this is a pivotal game, but what if the injury worsen? I guess this will be the end of their season if they lost again in the next game.

The injury is on his face, he can wear a protective mask if he wants to. I saw a lot of players in the past that wears mask just to be able to play, he doesn't need to be so aggressive, he mere presence on the coart would already boost the morale of his teammates and they will play hard to win game 3.
1497  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: May 06, 2022, 04:55:26 AM
He can go up in weight, win the belt and hopefully Inoue too will go up, so the clash might happen in the future.
That will happen if Casimero and Inoue will become champions in the same weight class.
As soon as Inoue is done collecting all the belts, he will be like Canelo Alvarez that will go up in weight.

But for now, Casimero will have to work his way to be the challenger to the belt. If he chooses to stay in bantam, then maybe he will be rank as number 1 so who knows, he might get crack at Butler and get back his belt. But that is base on WBO, if they still want Casimero and allow him to fight and force the hands of Butler and his management.
So much job that has to be done for Casimero, but letting go and accepting what happen is a good start.

1499  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The way things are going with new crypto is worrisome on: May 05, 2022, 10:34:26 PM
Almost everyone I knew now creates their own tokens  Grin these guys aren't even crypto developers to begin with, they have no coding experience or knowledge now this makes me worry, imagine how many crypto tokens that are created by inexperienced personal, I think we need to buckle up for there will be huge rain of scam tokens upon us than what we've seen before...... Sigh! I wish that only few qualified people knew how to build blockchain projects.
Where have you been? It's been happening since a long way ago, and it does decrease in any sensible way. Back then people are creating useless shit-token in the name of ICO, and now Defi and party NFT.

There is no way to decrease such utter coins/tokens to keep popping up in this space, the ecosystem is built to make people able to build whatever they want. The problem is such ignorant people believe that the utopian of the token utility is going to happen while in fact, the majority of them are built only to scam.
If majority of the people in the market will always be profit centered, expect that there will always be crypto developers who will keep on creating tokens without real utility cases. And there will always be victim of scams that will always complain in the market. However, if all those buyers choose to educate themselves first about the coins they plan to buy, and not just buying without making DYOR, the creation of useless tokens will be reduced, and scamming will be lessen.
1500  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Elon Musk bought Twitter on: May 05, 2022, 09:42:22 PM
I guess Elon is trying to be more influential by using a famous platform this time. He could use it to boost and hype his target coins again just like what he did to Dogecoin. I'm sure that he'll use it for his own benefit. He will use the said platform to be heard and to influence more people. It would be good if he will boost potential and trusted coins and not just meme coins.
Without a doubt this is a move that he will use in his favor, what we do not know is how this is going to happen? After all even if we know of his interest in dogecoin I think he has way more money invested in bitcoin, so if his platform accepted payments in bitcoin then this will be a great move forward for us, however it is also interesting to see how this will play out in terms of politics as the Republicans were celebrating the acquisition of twitter by Elon so I wonder if he will take sides or will he remain neutral?
With Elon's smart thinking, definitely he has already plans for it before it was happening. But i believe there are still other hidden intentions of Elon  aside from dogecoin and bitcoin's price increase, and it will be certain for us in the next months possible. However, in case of being neutral or take the sides, Elon will surely be dealing with it without offending the other side, and of course his decision will always make him the most beneficiary in the end.
