421  Economy / Economics / Re: Why we should prioritize investment over saving on: January 30, 2024, 07:57:40 PM
Saving is just the start to financial freedom because you're teaching yourself on how to be financially responsible for yourself. And I think everyone who is starting needs to understand the importance of it. But after you start the discipline of saving then you'll eventually learn the importance of investings. Because you'll then understand that when you save, you're not going to be rich.

So too me we should think of investing more of our money than saving it, so that  inflation wouldn't eat it up.
And as you save, that's one enemy of yourself and your money. Because nothing is being done by your money and it should be done through reinvesting so that it will appreciate. As in savings, the interest rate you earn there is little and not enough compared to the inflation rate and that means the value of your money is lower than how things have gone up.
422  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When it comes to selling , is it best to convert or sell for cheaper fees? on: January 30, 2024, 02:59:19 PM
A few of my altcoins are pumping and I want to take some profits to put into others that have not pumped yet but wondering what is the best way of doing this on Coinbase?
You said that you want to take profits, so do it and you might just convert it with a stable coin first before deciding again on which coin you want to reinvest that.

Is it best to convert from one altcoin to the other or is it best to sell the altcoin then buy the new altcoin I want to invest more in?
Either will work depending on how you did your research. Just as I've said, my strategy will be putting that first into a stable coin and will wait for that time before buying the next altcoin. Still, any of the two will work but the result will vary on which altcoin you're going to buy next. Why buy altcoin first when you can distribute your profit first with Bitcoin?

Don't mind about him, he was just discouraged that there's a wager requirement for his withdrawal and as you can see on him, he's still joining bc.game's prediction thread.
Ok. My experience with BC.GAME is not so good, so I don't use them, but if other wants or promote them it's don't bother me. I just agreed with your statement that it is how things would be done at.
Apologies if you don't have a good experience but that doesn't mean that it's also bad for us. Many of us here tells that we've got good experiences on it and it's probably just some unfortunate moment for you and I hope that you won't stop you from trying and visiting again. How's it going with your desktop, have you tried it already or not yet? And yes, that's how things are done and it's a case to case basis for each user.

Looks like I have to bet $5 to be able to join the bc.game contest. The prizes are quite large, but because this contest is held on a site that has many users, the chances of winning are very small, especially since bc.game does not provide details on how many winners there are and how many prizes will be distributed to each contest winner.
Yep, it's part of the terms and conditions and only serious participants are going to join this. But if you're a regular gambler, you typically spend more than $5 in a week so that's already pass on for that requirement. I wonder how much it will be for the distribution for the winners as this prize pool is a lot. Good luck everyone, everyone has got ample time to submit their predictions.

I could not agree more that every accusation should be with evidence or it should be marked as spam.
Also when a user accuse another user.
Don't mind about him, he was just discouraged that there's a wager requirement for his withdrawal and as you can see on him, he's still joining bc.game's prediction thread.
426  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Retro Gaming Web App on: January 29, 2024, 11:08:14 PM
There is still interest with the retro games and I am playing these games through the web. If you ever find someone that will complete your team and you continue to develop it, I'm thinking on how you're going to make it happen since I've seen some platforms like a co-op games such as Metaslug 1 and you can play it along with other players(P2) on that platform. But over time, I don't longer see that platform anymore. And as you integrate it with blockchain/crypto, I'm curious how you're going to do that without compromising the joy that you'll be bringing to the players/users.
427  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Honeypot websites are dangerous for our privacy - BEWARE on: January 29, 2024, 09:04:39 PM
Most of the websites and apps nowadays are keeping our data unless they're telling truthfully that they don't record logs. If there are still websites that don't take your details and erasing it as soon as you're done with them, they're likely a few of them.

Except being closed-sources, do you have some examples of "red flags" I can spot easily? Do you have some clues to be sure that a service is probably not good?
Think of each of them that you should be careful of, even if there are no red flags as long as you're into their premises and platforms, the possibility is high of recording every move you do on them and every detail you input.
428  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Who is top bitcoin competitor? on: January 29, 2024, 07:34:10 PM
There's the CBDC if you haven't heard of it yet but it's incomparable to Bitcoin. Yes, the government can unite and push people to adopt what they want to adopt. But the thing here is, they can't stop Bitcoin as it is decentralized and it is covering the entire global population and everyone is free to use it. So, if the governments are going to come up with their own solution, that only means that there will be more of them producing another currency and they'll still come divided and it won't be able to compete Bitcoin. That's why, no matter what they do, they're not going to get comes close to BTC.
429  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Everyone Calls My Child's Name Bitcoin. on: January 29, 2024, 06:16:07 PM
It is interesting, it's like in a community you'll be called for what you're known for. I find it scary when someone knows that I am into Bitcoin and they keep calling me like that or even my parents. They're aware that you're into Bitcoin investments and everyone is aware that you guys have money. We don't have to dive it that much on it but that's it, when someone talks about Bitcoin, then the matter is that it's all about money. No matter how optimistic we are, if it's your child that's involved. You better give a reminder to those people that they should call him by his name and not bitcoin.
430  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Adults of bitcointalk what are your candid advice to newbies in the forum? on: January 28, 2024, 11:20:59 PM
There's no need for any secret guide or advise for newbies to know because there's none. What you guys have to do as you stay in the forum is you have to follow all the guidelines and forum rules so that you'll be guided on what you do and don'ts. And above all of that, respect everybody. We know that some are high ranks but it doesn't define the knowledge that you have and there are lower ranks that have better knowledge than me and vice versa.

We should stop giving him attention because whatever he says, there's always the reason for his gain with that. The media are all over him and that makes him the most with all of these attention that he's pushing through with his statements even they're not necessary at all.
He think that most people are idiots and will listen to him, probably some might listen to him but he should be aware that not all people are going to believe anything he say.
432  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: ACN trading platform: legit or scam? on: January 28, 2024, 06:13:12 PM
So reading all of those that you've said gives me the idea that you are probably added by someone who's knew your number. This happens in every messaging app platform where our numbers are required. They're collating every number that they get and check if it's registered somewhere else like in Telegram, whatsapp, viber, etc.

However, believe me, the situation I'm in now forces me to find a solution asap for the reasons I mentioned above.
If you're dealing with the situation hardly, this is really going to make you find ways to solve it as fast as you can. But don't let yourself fall into these likely scams because they'll even make your situation harder. What probably happened if to you have never asked it here? you might have more problems now.
433  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you ready for the Bitcoin bull market? What's your plan? Some ideas for you on: January 28, 2024, 04:46:32 PM
I agree with everything you've said that we will not be able to find out that it is the peak of the bull run. But whenever we do, that's nice and we're able to spot out the top of it because normally, we don't. We can take a guess when we get there but we can't be sure if greed will hit us or not.

I am new in bitcoin and I haven't experienced any bull run after the halving, and this will be the first halving and bull run that I will experience. But from the article that you provided, it shows that bitcoin has repeated history, over and over again, which means that we should expect such price movement during this period to the ATH. It is just that it will not be accurate or exactly like the previous ones, but from past event,it shows that it might be similar, and the odds are high.
It is a cycle and the patterns that we're seeing might change or could be the same and we're getting close to that.

Due to the fact that I can't really tell when the new ATH will be, I have decided to have a price target that if bitcoin price reaches, I will take profit, and if it doesn't reach such price target, I will just wait and hodli. I plan to sell only 40% of my portfolio, and hodli the rest. I don't play with altcoins because they are like gambling, due the pump and dump nature.
That's a good strategy, you have to set a price target because as said, you will be having hard time to determine if that's the ATH. The emotions will be high when we keep on seeing the surge and to the point that you may miss the ATH and not be able to sell, we can point that fault to ourselves if we are not able to take profits.
434  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: CORRECT AND NOT ATTACK on: January 27, 2024, 11:18:47 PM
Hmmm, did some of your replies made a higher rank told you something that you didn't like? And instead of correcting you, you think that he's attacking you? I guess that is where you are coming from. Or if it didn't happened to you, have you seen that some of the high or top ranks did some misjudgement based on your understanding the discussions? There's need more of the context about this thread you've made so we will understand why you have made this topic. Because if that is what I've said, everyone has to grow and understand that we're in a forum and you may feel that it's an attack but usually it's just how they correct people and we've got different cultures and values. You think that the replies are attacking you but you're just thinking like that where it's correcting you or some other newbies.
435  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The lessons I've learnt as a bitcoin long term holder on: January 27, 2024, 09:47:04 PM
Me.  Wink
You can add to it that as a long term Bitcoin holder, you're always learning. That's how we're going to survive a long term holder because as we learn from the others, we discover new things and when we develop that, we're the ones to benefit from it. One mistake in the past that me and for sure many others did was when we're panic selling. With some bad news that's being reported on the media, that's already making us nervous. But eventually, if there's a newbie out there, you'll be able to control your emotion and don't believe with every news that you read from these crypto news media outlets. Many of them are like paid, shilled, sponsored just to put everyone who has a weak heart down and pushed to sell their holdings.

Yes, it's a learning process to all of us, and it's going to be a curve line to us holders, and just like the OP has pointed, out there's are a lot of lessons along the way before we get to the top of the curve line, absorb everything we learn. Maybe it will take a full cycle to have everything in our belt, or maybe more to really understand and not make the same mistakes. And it's really a mind game, I mean psychology day in day out, grinding every week to just buy and HODL and then not panic if the price suddenly goes down and we see our portfolio, dwindling in value. Maybe in the beginning, we sold early, but as I have said, it's better to experience it real hand. Instead of just hearing it to HODLers that has gone to the process. Many of them are still in the forum, teaching us and hopefully, others will really learn from them.
I admire the new investors that have the idea on how it's going when we're approaching the bull run. Those that have skipped the toughest bear market that we've been through like in 2018 or there were some more in the past, like the brutal bear market and haven't experienced it. And yet, they have full awareness on how to invest in Bitcoin and how to manage their emotions based on their research and how the market moved for the past years. They might be empty when the bull run actuall comes and when I say empty, like they'll feel what we've felt about panic selling, or having some psychological battle to their own whether they should hold longer or start selling when the prices shoot.

437  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There is nothing like it since the past 12 years on: January 27, 2024, 01:55:46 PM
You surely had it the easier way thanks to your parents but, still count all of your hardships with your own journey. And when you've like this is a do or die thing, you got me there because we've got the same opinion when I've known Bitcoin for the first time and understood that it's an investment. Looking at its past where people have probably bought it at a cheap rate might have been holding several years ago when I was still new. And by that time, I've realized that it's never too late and just like today, some newbies might think that they're still too early because like in the past that we've thought of the same thing. It might not be easy but if they've got conviction just as yours, it's never too late but things can be easier if you believe before it finally becomes stable in terms of its pricing soon. But IMHO, we're still quite far from seeing that happen.

……. then that might be remembered by your first customers. What matters as you start is you build your reputation and trust slowly but surely, it's going to take you a long time but if you can endure that, all depends on how you handle everything. Are you going to do it on your own as you start?

This may take some time and require your support. First of all, we must have a domain name, such as stareatme.com. Do you think this domain name is okay?
It's best for you to put everything into scratch so that you've got everything into plan and all you have to do is to follow step by step procedure that might help you do these things easily. If you'll ask me about the domain name, that's your preferred name right? So basically, it is what you need to own and that's okay.

Then there may be some early users who will be playing the game while it is being developed.
Yes, once the platform is done. You can actually start some tests and asks everyone to check out your casino and it's either you give some incentives to the early testers or give free credits.

You can start any type of game that you want to have. IIRC, there was this type of game that has been launched here before but I've forgotten the name of the game. Usually, anything that's new will get the eyes of the crowd of gamblers but then when it's no longer fun or profitable, you'll just be left behind. Well, as for experiment, you may want to have that but most of the gamblers here are looking for the reputation of the one that starts it out or the provider of it. But don't get discouraged with it and see how the entire community will look at it once you have it.


Thank you for your quick and sincere reply.

I’m going to start one and wish you be interested in it.

How about we call it “StareAtMe”?

Is this name cool and attractive?
Let us see soon if that's gonna be attractive. I don't mind what name you'll be naming it as long as it's catchy that's what matters. If you're asking if that name is good, it depends if the game has connection to that verb, stare. But if that's what you want to name and it's kind of unique then that might be remembered by your first customers. What matters as you start is you build your reputation and trust slowly but surely, it's going to take you a long time but if you can endure that, all depends on how you handle everything. Are you going to do it on your own as you start?
440  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Ledger Recovery - Send your (encrypted) recovery phrase to 3rd parties entities on: January 27, 2024, 07:59:28 AM
So I give you a good suggestion:
DO NOT FOLLOW THE STEPS YOU FIND ON THIS PAGE - https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/4445777839901-Update-Ledger-Nano-S-Plus-firmware

If you only use BTC, do not count the wallet to Ledger Wallet. Use Electrum, for example.
If you had a problem and had to restart everything... well, you'll have to choose whether you want to continue using Ledger with these new conditions or not.  Roll Eyes
Yeah, I wouldn't be updating my firmware with what they've said and I haven't opened it for years actually. I'm already contemplating on another hardware that has a better feature and doesn't have this updates that go against the purpose of having an HW.

The comments would be even more negative if Ledger hadn't already shadowbanned tons of users who complained about their seed extraction firmware.

I was a long time Ledger user, but once they announced that nonsense, I moved my Bitcoin to a new seed & switched to a different hardware wallet.  You couldn't even pay me to use a Ledger anymore.
Oh, so there has been shadowbanned comments there and they just can't do that to most of the redditors since they're a lot.

A lot of people are going to stick with Ledger because they haven't seen Ledger's Recover & seed extraction scheme get hacked yet, so it much not be anything to worry about.  They're missing the bigger picture.  It's not about coins being safe today or even this year.  It's about staying safe for years to come.  When something goes wrong, it's going to be uuuuuuuugly.  And by the time anybody realizes Ledger's Recover was hacked, it'll be too late.  I assume hackers will gather as many keys as possible before they start draining wallets in order to prevent Ledger from realizing they've been hacked.
I agree, I've trusted them for years but it all came downhill when they've introduced this ledger recovery and have forced the updates through their firmware for which many have believed to be safe before this thing has came. I feel bad for those folks that are trusting them with this feature.  Undecided
