But, I think peer pressure some times can affect some persons and the responsibilities that comes with been married can be very pressing sometimes.
You nailed it.

If someone who's too reliant to the society, peers, parents and whoever influences his/her decisions might get into forced relationship and then marriage.

Because they like to compare themselves from the other people and that's a wrong thing if you're too relying with the impression of people and what they think of what you should have at your age and one of it is about being with someone or getting married already.

Where do you live?

Of course buying it won't have significant gains on you and that's why it's not yet taxed. But when the time comes and you're about to sell, there's the gain that you have to declare.

I'm also confused on this. But what if you have sold and you're in losses? Are you still going to provide some tax on it based on how much you've bought it since you're at loss?

Much better to consult an accountant on your area.

Also, professional poker players who came to trading have patience and perseverance, because they spend 10 hours a day or more behind the monitor, playing online. Moreover, they played several tables, constantly straining their brains. After this, trading will seem easier. This influencer I follow says the same thing. He said that he will not return to poker, but sometimes he can go to 3-5 tournaments a year in the USA in order to entertain his subscribers.

Croupiers who worked for many years and calculated probabilities and saw professionals could come.
Those little gestures that we do as gamblers just like what you have said from those pro poker players or even pro sports bettors. They all have the patience and they add up small things to become productive on their craft.

Playing several tables or bets within a day, honestly it is an exhausting thing. People say that gambling is easy and fun but it's no fun when you don't like what you do and it is not easy when you don't have that type of patience that it requires, right?

If there's an admission that you can't control yourself in gambling and whether you're a good earner, that's a bad situation that you need to consider.

Because even if you do good as a Bitcoin investor or you've managed to earn a decent amount of Bitcoin from your gigs and yet there's the uncontrollable activity you have as a gambler. It's very likely that all of your earnings will be gone.

What you need to do is to is to think that everything can be done for you to earn Bitcoin. Even your salary in local currencies or USD can be converted into Bitcoin.

It's part of mother's nature I guess that they're more caring and that's why they're recognized and treated more fairly than the fathers.

But there's no need to go into sides because both mothers and fathers are sacrificing things for their family. Although there are cases that there are both mothers and fathers that are irresponsible to their families.

I'd say that they're just like isolated case and the majority of us are into the caring and taking side of our families.
1266  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would happen if there was only one cryptocurrency, which is Bitcoin? on: November 24, 2023, 08:22:01 PM
It's not about boredom if it's Bitcoin but about the focused of most people that are involved in here. But because the early adopters have seen that there can still be some upgrade that they can do for Bitcoin but they can't apply on it, they have made their own solutions through different altcoins.

But if we only have Bitcoin that's existing as of now, we would have that much value for Bitcoin. But it's okay, we're going to that point soon that most of these alts will be eliminated and there will be a few of them remaining while supporting Bitcoin still as the top 1.
In the end Altcoin will only wait for their deaths after a few years they are running and receive market attention, because they only focus on certain technological categories so that if they are not needed again they will die by themselves, while Bitcoin is outline is the most revolutionary discovery and Can adapt to all kinds of industrial needs, as well as why Bitcoin will always survive because Bitcoin is not only made as a currency but as a store of value of all that exists.

I am aggree with the sentence that the existence of Altcoin shows that competition and development of the cryptocurrency industry is increasingly widespread, with the Altcoin project that is marketed by the developer so that the common adoption of Crypto will ultimately recognize Bitcoin because of Altcoin, I think it does bring knowledge to the development of popularity .
Yup.

That's what will happen to most of the alts when majority of the people understands the concept of owning Bitcoin. We'll still have a lot of alts by that time.

But there's going to be a purge that's likely to happen by that time because everyone sees that there's going to be a significance of owning Bitcoin rather than having majority of the alts and diversify on them.
1267  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would happen if there was only one cryptocurrency, which is Bitcoin? on: November 24, 2023, 07:34:49 PM
I cherish the competition that exists among the cryptocurries, the competition has been what has driven bitcoin into the the hearts of the adopters, if there wasn't competition it would have been a boring crypto space and people would not have taken bitcoin so seriously as they do currently.

Tether buying btc to back up USDT with valued asset.
It can only means that USDT might decouple of the USD.
Could be Bretton woods moment here.
This is what Do Kwon and associates did to Luna. They've bought BTC to backed their project (Luna) and we've seen what happened next to their project affiliates which includes their UST.

The next year we could see USDT value against USD will grow.
It is tied to USD and that's why I don't think that it's going to be against with each other. But if there can be scenarios that are going to happen, the more likely to happen is the devaluing or depegging of it to USD.

But are we going to see that? I don't think so, it's the most used stable coin and many prefer it so depegging is unlikely.
1269  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What are your big plans for the Bitcoin halving coming up in a few months? on: November 24, 2023, 06:28:26 PM
What are your plans for the upcoming halving?
Nothing unusual but to keep on accumulating as well and try to keep away from the temptation of selling early.

I have got plans when I should sell and that must be after the halving and when it has pumped a lot. I have some numbers on my mind but whether they're reached or not, I'll have to decide whether to sell or not.

But even so, I am likely to sell no matter what happens because I have got some plans to buy something big for myself.
1270  Other / Off-topic / Re: Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming on: November 24, 2023, 05:52:20 PM
What a coincidence, I have been watching GTA 5 streamers since yesterday.  Tongue

I am not yet done with GTA 4 and haven't played that much with my GTA V and GTA 6 is coming.  Roll Eyes

I have watched some reels about the GTA 6 and some devs also leaked images of it. Yeah, possible that it's for real and we have to wait for the oficial announcement til' it finally come.

Do you mind sharing which streamer do you watch the most?

I used to be more of a 'summit1g' fan back then.  Grin
No streamer that I watch but if you want to watch one then just go to twitch and check the categories of GTA 5.

They are just popping on my account but a portion of their replays that I watch. And that's the one that I like to watch and not entirely a stream of theirs.

Anyway, I'll check that guy you've mentioned.

Live frugally mate.

Even if you've got a lot of money ready to be spent. Don't be too hasty with that and always think of the needs instead of your wants. Because when you follow your desires to buy those wants of yours, you're going to spend carelessly.

And if you're going to think of saving, just save it. If you have a salary, get some portion first to save like 5%-10% and less it first before the expenses.
1272  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Something you don't have to forget on: November 24, 2023, 03:22:57 AM
Yeah, many have already lost their Bitcoins forever because of forgetting the keys, seeds, etc. of their wallets.

If it is not for those early adoptions, the market wont grow this much. But thanks to them and to those lost bitcoins forever, they have already contributed to the market for having that retained value.

Probably some have died already without even telling their wallets password and recovery seeds.

Good job then for helping the bird.

It is possible that it just escaped from whoever entangled it with the hair. But if not then it just usually trash that has it on some disposable boxers or plastics from salon.

Anyway, small acts of kindness and help we do to our nature will be back to us in a better form just as you did to the bird.
1274  Economy / Economics / Re: fiat vs commodity on: November 24, 2023, 01:15:28 AM
It's called inflation.

That's why in the past commodities and their prices weren't that much. And due to the inflation that happens yearly or anytime of the year, the price increases and that makes the value of fiat even lesser.

As for bitcoin, it's a deflationary cryptocurrency and we know that in the future the value of it becomes higher due to having a limited supply.

When you have that much money, don't keep them in fiat. But don't forget to at least save for some things that you need to spend it with cash and when you want to have high liquidity of your money.
thats right even deposits in bank can't truly contend against the inflation which means even if we supposedly invest our money, we still losing our share of wealth value anyway.
I think trying to find alternative investment where it can give us better return is essential in this case, considering the fact that inflation has been rising quite high these past few years due to geopolitical reasons.
investing in cryptocurrency, stocks and many more might prove to be beneifical at time like this even more so when the crisis could hit anytime.
but I think many people still don't have a clue about that, even don't have a clue that their salary should supposedly rise with the coming of inflation but many of them have unincreasing salary.
when it comes to fiat vs commodity, i'd honestly hold into commodity, just for the sake of avoiding inflation altogether. but can't refute the fact that fiat is still that convenient.
Yes. That is the reason why it seems our money becomes less if we deposit them in the bank. The value of it depreciates due to inflation. If you are a saver, it is okay to practice that principle but you should save to invest.

Because if you won't do something to make use of your money in investments, the banks are the ones that will make use of it and in return, they will give you very small amount of interest.

Investing in any asset you know is recommended.

If I wanted to know something from people on this community, can government track us if we questions against there rules and laws or if they find it inappropriate.
Yes, they can track you if you have registered to an exchange and you fully submitted your identities to them which indicates the address you have.

That's what KYCs are for and that's the compliance that the exchanges does for the favor of the government if ever they want to check some of their customers or everyone that uses them.

It can be for tax purposes, tracking of criminals, etcs.

Their curiosity is going to put them in danger if they are not going to be educated.

This is a problem for how many generations and still, it doesn't stop a lot of teenage pregnancy.

It is good to let them know the dangers of it if done before their marriage. Not just physically, mentally but also financially.
That is why we need to provide proper education and not just something  that tells them this and that.

Children must learn this in lighter way than how we have learn this from our experiences .

Let their young mind be ready first and yes let them have better understanding .
As parents, we need to educate them first and have a conversation to open their minds why they need to think of it before being curious.

It's not the life that they're going to like when they do it unprepared. No one is stopping them when they're on the right age and they're financially and mentally well.

But when they're still not on the right age, there are a lot of consequences that will stop them to live the best life that they can as they grow older.
1278  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Someone just paid 83BTC for transaction fee, on: November 23, 2023, 10:22:18 PM
Millions just to make a mistake? Come on.

Someone who owns that much is aware on how to adjust fees and how to make transactions. Whether we give the benefit of the doubt from this transaction and whoever has done it.

It's very unlikely that someone will assume these adjustments and fees are normal and won't take a second or third look before pressing that send to proceed for the transaction.
1279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can a gambler be a good bitcoin trader? on: November 23, 2023, 09:41:44 PM
As a gambler, I did traded many times before but then stopped because I did have a lot of bad trades. But that does mean that I am a bad gambler? Yes and no.

I have good trades as well.

So it can happen that a gambler can also be a good bitcoin trader or even an altcoin trader. Anyone can do that regardless of his profession or his hobbies and activities.
In short, yes, I think it can. It is very similar due to the fact that you need to make decisions based on probabilities. But everywhere we need to learn new information and improve our level, only this can lead us to success in gambling and bitcoin trading. If before this in gambling the player simply pressed one button and spun spins, then in bitcoins he will most likely press buy/sell chaotically. And if he also puts up a large leverage, then this is the same as betting the entire deposit on red in roulette.

There are even several living examples, one of them is a successful influencer who was previously very successful in poker before learning about cryptocurrencies. I am amazed by his level of knowledge and thanks to it he earned 10 times more than in poker.
Yeah, so it's the come and go from other professionals that are good in something and going on with trading and gambling.

When you're good in poker or any gambling games that requires you to think and analyze. That means that you can also analyze the trades that you're about to do for your reference.

That's why it is open for everybody to take their own journeys in trading if they're a gambler and they want to try something new. And from this forum, many of us are both.

Remember that there's this belief on who creates the viruses and the antidotes? They're both the same people if you've watched it somewhere from various movies, etcs.

But some of these antiviruses are truly good in giving us notifications on which apps should be avoided based on the contents of it. They're detecting it and that's a good help.

If someone randomly downloads on the web named "antivirus" in general, a lot of unknown names in the antivirus field might be suggested made by cons.
