21  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Factors that might affect ATH in BTC price after halving on: April 09, 2024, 05:39:09 AM
Other factors that can influence the volatility of BTC includes the arrival time of the ETF right before BTC halving event , when the supply is cut short, then the demand for it becomes more acceptable, the upcoming event especially the USA election might prove a major factor in getting another ATH in the price of BTC after the halving,
It could be one and many others which is why we can't expect that the surge is going straightforward but must expect some price drops.
And that is why we never know when the ATH arrives ( or we are already there). But this is only one thing I would say, keep holding and just sell when the price hits your target selling price. The dumps and pumps are still a thing we witness, and so many factors that affect the price trend but if we are certain in our goal, it will be rewarded. Better don't mind all those things that influence the market price instead, focus on our goal.

The halving is just around the corner and the results are still uncertain but we are positive about it.

23  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to handle emotions when you lose during trading. on: April 06, 2024, 11:10:39 AM
No trader can control his or her emotions 100%. There are days we feel sad over our losses and there are days we get excited because of the profits we have made. So, getting emotional is normal as a trader but it only becomes a problem when we allow our emotions go out of hand to the extent of controlling our actions. Traders need to really understand that as far as trading is concerned, losses are bound to occur,  so their is no point feeling guilty and blaming oneself over losses that occurred, such acts will only escalate things and cause more harm. Rather, if a trader feels like his mistakes caused his loss, he should learn from such mistake and upgrade his skill. Getting losses is not a death sentence, upgrade yourself and enjoy the world of trading.

Feeling mad when we lose it is quite normal but getting our temper too high is not good anymore and it should be managed before it affects our mental health and decision-making. It is a normal experience for us traders but if we want to succeed, we also have to control our emotions to least possible we can do. That is why I encourage traders not to take this seriously, especially beginners because the more we think it always, the more possibility we can't move on. It is very important we know how to deal with our emotions, it can't be instant but at least, we worked on it to make it better and controllable.

25  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stop gambling if you don’t have free time to do it on: March 31, 2024, 01:36:56 PM
It is not just time that they need, stop risking money if they couldn't even provide what is necessary for them or their family.
We know that there are people out there who would risk or gamble their money even if they don't have enough to live an average life or indebt.
I know that they are aiming for the profit but why risk what they have, if they couldn't even pay their debt or have a comfortable life?
Living a comfortable life comes with a whole of sacrifices to be made, just stick to a particular strategy that's bringing winnings. I'm not into gambling because there's no time for that to be triggered, instead we should be settling for day Jobs because it's the sources of provisions. Before gambling, ensure you're free from debts and you sits in balance position to provides the needs and wants of the family. We're man and adhere to every responsibility of our loved ones, never relent but focused on doing the ultimate jobs.
You're not into gambling because you will see that this won't give you any benefits. But for those who see gambling gives them pleasure and happiness, they will try it even if they are a family man and only have limited free time. In fact, it is not necessary we have to spend a lot of time gambling and have a huge fund in order to enjoy ourselves but what we just need is to understand that gambling is not a source of income and that we have to be seriously doing this. Instead, make this our pastime just to relax our mind from the whole day working.
Gambling responsibly, that is what it meant.

Any financial decision we are taking always have there own risk. We need to be wise and ask questions before we intilend to invest in the cryptocurrency market. Anything can happen anytime so we need to make enquiry before we intend to buy and store Bitcoin so we could understand the market a bit so our investment would not lose value over a short period of time.
The future if Bitcoin is brighter so we should not be disappointed about what is happening since we are already in the bull market.
Caution and diligence before diving into the world of cryptocurrency should be the norm, because every financial decision carries inherent risks. Conducting thorough research before investing in Bitcoin needs to be taken seriously. Understanding the market dynamics, technological aspects, and potential risks associated with cryptocurrency investment can help investors make informed decisions and mitigate potential losses.

Despite short-term price swings, many experts believe in the long-term potential of Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency market can be volatile and subject to sudden fluctuations, that's why we need to maintain a long-term perspective. Being in a bull market can certainly be exciting, but enthusiasm needs a realistic assessment of the market's ups and downs.
Because that is what we believe and that is the reason why we invest and hold for many years. Moving sideways is quite normal in a volatile market but this never be a big deal for us knowing that every drop is an opportunity to buy while every pump is an opportunity to sell. With this kind of market behavior, many people become rich but can't hide the fact that many also suffer losses because they don't understand the situation and quickly make the wrong decision (panic selling).
27  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin proven many times holders won't regret on: March 30, 2024, 09:39:42 AM

Bitcoin is made for everyone but not meant to everyone, their is no need doing much explanations cause if they should adhere and decides to invest, eventually Bitcoin experiences a DIP they will come running to you as to seeing their funds depreciate and most of them would want to sell due to the pressure. People usually pick interest on stuffs when the outcome of what they assume to be wrong defies their beliefs which they have held for some while. We shouldn't as well forget, their are those who did not invest in Bitcoin when it was worth a few dollars, not because they were ignorant but they decided not to, this same set of people are eagerly accumating and filling up their bags, all what it takes is the time to believe in Bitcoin then the rest becomes success story.
They will if they want and ignore if dissatisfied. Perhaps, there is no forcing people to invest but it is their decision and willingness.
That is why not all individuals see the benefits of Bitcoin because not all are also open-minded. In fact, in our family, I was certain that there were some misunderstandings and no support because sometimes we have been influenced by FUDs and scam issues that we heard around. So, let these people think differently, they will just see soon when we are improving. Just continue our doing as we reap off all the hard work we have done in the coming days.
28  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever done something crazy to bet? on: March 29, 2024, 09:30:25 PM
~snip~
Almost every person who has gambled once in their life must have experimented with that, having dreams and building skyscrapers in the air while thinking about gambling and how they can win a lot of money from it that will change their life. However, it mustn't have taken a lot of time before they realize that it is not possible and they are not going to see any success coming in their lives through gambling.

You get this realization when you get together a budget for your gambling activities and you aim to make a lot of money with that budget. You plan everything, how much you will earn each day and how you would stop after a certain point, you might even see your plan working for the first few days, but then, everything seems to fall apart and you eventually lose everything to the house.

Yeah, I think that is part of what the casinos want to create.

A reality in which you as a gambler can generate money by just being smart and gambling on the right bets at the right time.

No one else knows how to do it, but you are special Smiley
It never works for greedy people (just like me before). Maybe I was wrong or just said some people have the same experience as me; the moment I think about winning, ain't happen but losing. That is why I'd never thought about it since then.
Indeed, these casinos always win because they know that gamblers always lose control of their emotions which gives them no chance of winning. Gambling responsibly is always a reminder to us from casinos but unfortunately, only a few gamblers got into it because of the wrong mindset. 
29  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC dip again? on: March 29, 2024, 10:52:23 AM
For those of you out there who are planning on buying more coins
like me when the market dips, have you guys set a target price where
you will buy?
I'll buy more when turns back low at $50k but that seems impossible this time.
Quote
The price has not yet reached what is ideally the price I would want to
buy bitcoin in despite its recent decline and I am wondering if will
bitcoin still go down to at least $50k?
Indeed, we have these corrections but was not enough to pull back. It looks like the price of Bitcoin will get stuck above $60k.
I would say that was not a good time to accumulate more. Well, maybe for those who have not yet, this could be their opportunity. Besides, we're not yet in the new ATH, the price will possibly rise after halving. Earning is still possible at his point especially when we wait for the new ATH before selling.
30  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Streamer's fan took his own life due to addiction on: March 28, 2024, 12:45:57 PM
All streamers who promote while they are live are not good influencers, to be honest. It's just that most of them are lies. Of course, the usual thing that happens is that they encourage their viewers to play gambling, deposit, and grow their money because they are always sure to win as long as they use the link in the description that they put. But the truth is not really.

And others have had their lives ruined because they believed what the streamers who promote gambling online said, and others even had their savings run out because they were told that they would always win gambling and never lose. So those streamers don't really do anything good; they are just paid by advertisements. It's ok to gamble as long as we keep it to ourselves.
That is a common trick by these influencers and they show to their viewers of how easily they won the bets but in reality, that is impossible for casual players.
I ain't falling into this trick as we have been gambling for many years and the chances never change. As a gambler, we should know when to stop and limit our time in gambling because the more we are doing this, the bigger the chances of getting into addiction. Following these so-called gambling experts makes no sense because they are the reason why many gamblers get in trouble for believing that they are true to what they have spoken.
31  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving don't make wealth on: March 26, 2024, 11:08:35 AM
Yes, that is true, if someone already has enough money then saving is not the right solution but rather investing. For example, in the case of several people in my area, when the harvest season arrives, the money they collect is immediately transferred to gold, this is certainly a good action to maintain the value so that it will not decline.
Those that understand how important it is to have both. When they're done saving their money, they'd choose to have some investments as well.

And while the others are saving, you have to ask them what they're saving for. Because what I know with many, they're saving for a few things and that's to invest and for emergencies.

Otherwise, those that don't have any reason why they're saving is because that they just want to and like to see their bank accounts grow in number but they don't know that they're the ones losing its value in the long run if they don't put it in appreciating assets and investments.
Saving first before investing, is a normal thing people do. But some smart people invest first before saving. No, they keep investing rather than saving money because inflation will beat it. Well, anyway, the point here is what matters to us the most and we choose the way we think that we are safe. Because some people choose to just HOLD rather than invest because they don't have time and knowledge about this. There is nothing wrong with this because they just assure the safety of their funds. In fact, I was been into that situation when I invested in something that I'd never known how to work on it. Sadly, it ended in nothing, and lost my capital.
32  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: End Goal or Keep HODLing? on: March 26, 2024, 10:28:11 AM
For me, I think that I've got an end goal within me, no way that it's going to hold on for dear life for me forever, going to be really helpful to me if I can get my profits, the money that I can get from it would definitely build myself a home and all the things that I've been holding back through discipline of not buying them will definitely be bought after a long time. Of course, hodling long-term is still a thing for me but I'm not going to be all that, just set a price goal and you'd be good to go when it comes to investing in bitcoin, you might also be able to do other things when you're not just hodling alone, who knows, you might invest during the altcoin season and hit the jackpot.
Indeed, holding is a thing and many people encourage others to hold as well but I don't think that holding forever is a must. At least holding them until it reach our target is a good sign to sell. Maybe I was wrong but investing is not all about holding but also about selling. We invest because we want to grow our money but holding our Bitcoin forever makes no sense, we'd rather not invest if we don't sell.

I will definitely sell my Bitcoin when I am already satisfied with the price and invest again when it drops. Perhaps, this is common scenario to see in the market, buy, hold, and sell.
33  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We should be looking only at the brighter side on: March 24, 2024, 03:13:10 AM
I invested in Bitcoin believing that this would give me some fortune. Of course, sometimes I'm thinking about the risk and the possible losses but I'd never let such thinking influence how I looked into Bitcoin. I remain strong despite the dip and long bear season as I know it will recover.

If we could really afford to fight back our negative feelings and worries, that would end in panic selling and losses. That is why before investing trust should already be in our mind, doubts couldn't give us strength but weaknesses.
34  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever done something crazy to bet? on: March 24, 2024, 12:49:14 AM
There are a lot of crazy things I made in gambling and that is one when I say "all in" after winning putting all my money for the last bet. It is really regretting at the time I lose and talk to myself that never do this again. Unfortunately, things like this have been expected and still, it happens again and again.

Well, the point is that we have to enjoy the moment. Of course, it was hurt when losing our bet but should also recall back and think that we are not gambling to multiply our money but to be entertained. But if this won't work, I don't think we are suitable for this.
35  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler takes his own life after a loss. on: March 23, 2024, 07:09:37 AM
Gambling can never be for fun. People may play gambling for fun at first but once they play for fun they become so addicted to gambling that if they lose huge amount of money in gambling then they go into depression all they can do. We all should learn from this incident that gambling can never bring happiness and peace in one's life, so one should always refrain from such gambling so that his life and family will be better. Gambling is like a deadly cancer. Once gambling becomes an addiction, people cannot get out of it, so they should stay away from gambling as much as possible.
Well, I asked some of my friends who are new to the gambling world and questions about their experience. They are saying "We're just having fun". That seems natural for the new gamblers as their first impression is that gambling is for fun which is indeed right but what it goes wrong is when they can't control the temptation and badly fall into addiction.

Honestly, gambling is not a bad thing to do but because we fall into greediness and the wants to become rich instantly, that changes our mindset, and take gambling as a serious thing when in fact, it was just for fun.
36  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I don't understand you people... on: March 23, 2024, 06:16:45 AM
When I see that the price is flying down steeply, I sell everything and let it fall down. When it stops, then I buy cheap and I have earned...
BTC is going down now, so let it go and buy when it stops. We can all make money from it and then we will again get it up together! Unfortunately, there are always a few "geniuses" who go against the flow and they are buying when they should be selling, and that destroying everyone's earnings...
I'm seriously upset because a couple of such  " smart "  people just ruined my chance to make up for a 15k loss... I would like to kick them somewhere!
                                   


You make it sound so easy to make a profit in trading, when in reality it's not that easy. Sure buying low and selling high is the way to make a good profit, but how do we actually know when the bottom or the peak is reached? The timing question is the hardest to answer and most people are struggling here. Just look at the large number of HODL investors that don't have to worry at all about when to sell. Making a 15k USD loss in crypto currencies seems like a lot, why would you ever sell at such a high loss? In that case I would rather keep my coins and wait for the next bull run. It's now the second time Bitcoin reached a new ATH above 60,000 USD. We all know that crypto currencies like most other assets are moving in cycles and we can sit it out in case we missed our opportunity to sell. Afterwards it's always easy to know if we made the right or the wrong decision, but in the moment it's really hard to make the right call consistently. At least we shouldn't feel bad about all the people that are buying now instead of selling, because without them you wouldn't be able to take a profit. Personally, I am not going to sell any of my coins now.

Most traders tried to overthink and say, trading is an easy game. And that is the reason why most of us traders fail from such assumptions and thinking when we know in real that the market is unpredictable. We can't make good timing all the time and therefore, losses are not impossible. Even we spend 24 hours every day in trading and analyzing the market condition, maybe there is some changes but this won't guarantee that we've got a perfect buy/sell call. After all, that still lies in the actual scenario and depends on the decision we made as we can't expect that what happened yesterday and today will also happen tomorrow.
37  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: advice for a beginner on: March 22, 2024, 10:26:02 PM
Hello, I'm a new trader. I started a month ago. I deposited $100, and now I've lost $40. Any advice for me? I watched some YouTube videos and found a technical analysis video which helped a lot. I started not losing as much. Sometimes I even earn. But even though, I feel so lost. Like every day, I see some random coins get boosted. Some people earn from how they know that coin will go up. I'm sorry for my bad English; it's not my first language.
That is expected OP as you can't expect instant profit in trading when you are a newbie.
Have consider yourselves as you are still learning which loses is a part of it but it will gradually change in the moment that you also improve. Losses signify something that you still have a lot of things to learn in trading and that also tells you that trading doesn't work that easy and instant money. A reason why it should be clearly understood before trading at least we are aware that this will likely happen on us as we are still in the process of learning.
38  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Selling BTC for Alt Coins? on: March 21, 2024, 02:08:13 PM
I have around 2.1k in btc rn and was wondering if I should sell it and invest in a couple of altcoin projects, would that be a good idea? I know Bitcoin will never ever do another 5x in the near future haha so that's kind of why I would wanna sell. The market cap of btc would have to reach a very high amount for it to be life-changing money to me.
Actually, we're not in the position to say "Do it" but the idea of selling Bitcoin for altcoins is not really the best option. Instead of doing this better use other money to buy altcoins rather than selling your BTC. The reason why I don't recommend this is because Bitcoin is dominating the market. We may not be earning a huge profit or like it says the price raises x1000 but because it was the safest investment among cryptocurrencies it is a big factor to think about.
Maybe selling some for ETH and of some leading altcoins that is okay but putting it into shitcoins, that is certainly a big mistake.
39  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Success is a meaningless word without failure. on: March 21, 2024, 12:08:01 PM
Success is not magic and can't assume it is too easy. Successful people have suffered losses countless times before they become who they are today.
Sacrifices and patience are what we really expect from them. A person who is determined to become a good trader will never afraid to lose because they believe that there is no harm in trying especially if they know that there is a chance. They only just quit when there is no hope.

Listening to people who share their success stories we could really hear their sacrifices and difficult experience. That is really how it went through as there are no shortcuts for success.
40  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not place to make money is place to lose it? on: March 20, 2024, 01:11:56 PM

Is this true gambling is not place to make money is place to lose it?
It was not TRUE. Gambling is not mentioned that we lose nor do we make money from doing this but it was been advertised to make fun of it. If we gamble thinking we multiply our money, then that is very wrong. Of course, we don't think we gamble for loss but this seems to happen because we rely on luck. We know that this never comes to us always which is why some gamblers claim that gambling is a place to lose but they should also understand first why they gamble if this will happen to them. Honestly, people should not blame how gambling works but rather ask themselves why they spend money on it.
