Do you think that within 2030 we will find crypto currency almost everywhere in the financial sector?

IMHO, that's still not that much of years for the development in terms of adoption. That's still considered as a short time but we don't know what will actually happen.
What we're just sure about with cryptos is that they're growing faster, especially with the main thing in this space which is Bitcoin. We might be getting the idea right now that many companies in the financial sector are have their share already on it. Some may go crazy as the others that's been known to be investing millions to billions. It is what it is but 7 years from now on, there could be a huge growth that we have never expected and the market will grow vastly and I'm optimistic with it which it goes with two halvings by that time.

Its hard to be a bounty hunter these days cause of the market situation.

Not just that but because too many scams are still there for the past years.

During the bull market there are alots of good bounties in the Forum that pay precipitants well ,Its hard to find them these days .Lets hope the bull market returns soon and we could make more profits participating in bounties.

It's because that many don't pay attention when the market is stagnant. There could be a few of them that becomes successful but after that, what's next?
In relation to the market situation, that only means that there should be more bounties during the bull run because everyone expects that more money flowing to the market and will invest even to unknown projects that do have a bounty program.

What if there is no crypto bull run for next 10 years ? Will you give up all your investments and get out of crypto because of this ? Or do you you have even more broader horizon and can wait longer to see the next bull run ?

I'll keep it there and will do some other things that might be more productive than waiting for the bull run. Bitcoin's growth was rapid and was one of the best so if it becomes laggard then that's not a problem because no matter how slow it is, the opposite of it will come for its growth.

Personally, I am very much positive with bitcoin future but we should also be prepared for all situations. Nothing can be guarantee in present times and we must also be prepared for worst situations.

I am prepared for all the situations that can come. The experiences and roller coaster rides that we've been with through it have taught a lot of things in life for me. It had increased my patience and that's why if nothing happens for a decade, I probably might be doing something else but my holdings is there and remains.

This should be observed but sadly those who take care of the rooster really forget their family needs. All they have in mind is to make the rooster strong so that it can perform well in the fight. This will boost the owner's ego and popularity if his fighting cocks always win. They do their best just for a bragging right until their pet gets defeated. I feel sorry for the families of these people, and I wonder why they don't just choose to be a fighting rooster breeders rather than being addicted to cockfighting. This way they can earn money from their rooster breed through sales.

It's common in our country that this has become a way to earn money, not just for the actual cockfighters but also for the breeding side. And this also creates them connection to the people that they will face in their fights. So, referral after referral, they'll be also asked to breed other opponents rooster if they have become known to be a good one. I've got relatives that are into this, they're not the ones betting for the fights, they're not the owners of the roosters but they're just simply the breeders that have been trusted by the owners that are likely businessmen, seafarers and etc.

Need patience for few months left this year waiting bitcoin still stable in lower price, I don't huge expected with bitcoin in short time success break out to higher price.

For short time, there shouldn't really be some expectation because you'll never know what it is about to come. There's a lot to come to Bitcoin but more of it on next year. And that is because of the halving that will take place around April of 2024.

keep holding the ownership of the assets that we have until we get a profit when we sell them back

And choose the assets that you want to hold for the long term. Not all of them are significantly going to grow but many of them can be a way to make yourself profitable with them.

I usuallyy short but i see that market looks like how it looked like before bigger pump and short liqutation.
Be careful to short we will see green market soon now Im long with SOL,ETH,ADA Im ready for pump
Market is support zone now definately
it's like some altcoins rally definately

Good luck with that, any analysis that you think is good for your trading style must follow it. But sometimes these analyses we make don't go according to what we think. It may be turning bullish soon, but it might not. As long as you have an idea of what you're seeing in the market and you're doing it according to the plans you've set, there's nothing wrong with that. A pump or a dump, any of the two that has come then make sure that you're not leaving the chance of taking advantage of both of them. Just like what we've seen in Bitcoin for the past several days, it had turned green but eventually the market changed it course a bit but it's starting to recover now.

Maybe he just wants to try something new and that's the best team that he's seeing as a championship team that can bring him another ring. Just as what KD has thought of before. Yeah, he won't be traded right away but if the time comes and talks have happened, there could be a mutual and beneficial agreement that they can end up with. But as statements coming out like Kerr saying things that he'd like to coach Giannis and Giannis going to their team, well something might be cook in the nearest future with these collaborations, transfers and trades.

It's not something new, he really look for teams that can bring him more championships in the future. No doubt that Bucks is still good, but some teams that won championship, it's hard to repeat and that's what the Bucks and Giannis experienced, they were not able to duplicate their success for multiple reasons.

So how can he achieved greatness if he just won one ring? Lakers, Spurs, and recently the Warriors are the teams that won multiple championship and some of the players, specially San Antonio Spurs have been recently inducted to the Basketball HOF.

Yeah, that could be the case and that's normal for most NBA stars that still can play and are still in the league. They want to take as many rings as they can. However, there have been stars that despite being on that title and position, they have never won a ring. But that's a different discussion.

If I were the General Manager of the Milwaukee Bucks, this trade would never happen even if Anthony Davis improves a lot from last season. As he is already known to be injury-prone, I would not invest in a player with a history of injuries like Anthony Davis. Giannis has had some injury issues in the past but they haven't been as like Anthony Davis is. I would consider accepting the trade if it included additional players like Austin Reaves not just Anthony Davis.

AD sure is an injury prone player but just like what Lakers did to him and preserved him on the playoffs, maybe that's being considered. But yes, the worth of money that will be put and traded on him won't be that much appreciated in that sense.

It alerted me when stake posted an announcement on their TG channel about the warning to be careful of those scams going out in many accounts on social medias so, I've come to this thread to check everything and good thing that there's already a discussion about it.
Those that are into these attractions should make themselves aware that stake is not affiliated with any of those and made their own announcement, so losing money from any of those scams is not a problem of theirs but the person who's gullible enough and didn't do his research with due diligence.

I agree entirely with what's been said here. Personal finance was always a mystery to me until the day I lost track of my spending. It was quite a blow, realizing that I couldn't properly manage my money. I then started taking baby steps towards understanding it.
Reading books did wonders for me, and forums like this one also offered much guidance. The variety of financial wisdom through different perspectives is incredible. Videos indeed inspired me, but the real change came from self-discipline and accountability.

Great progress and good words speaking from your experience. While these resources will surely help us to go along with our personal finances and will help us improve. The guarantee will still start from our own initiative. Without such, you're walking blindly without any idea on where you're going at. Self discipline is the foundation of personal finance even if you have watched tons of videos, inspirational quotes, finance books but having none of it will make all of those useless.

Well, you won't see player making 5 3-pointers in a row every day, Clarkson was on fire today. It's nice to see hosts ending on a high note and finally taking win. And congrats to Japan and South Sudan for taking spot in 2024 Paris Olympics.

He's really lit and on fire together with the other local players like Abandon. I've just read recently that Philippines is going to play with the Olympic Qualifying tournament. That means that the hope and dream for Olympics isn't dead yet. They have to win the Olympic qualifying tournament for which they're going to participate. I know that it's going to be hard but maybe from there, they can give all their best shots. While Bahamas is already qualified for the Olympics and doesn't have to go through with the Olympic qualifying tournament, their team is where probably Klay Thompson is going to play with. And for Japan's growth in basketball, without even Rui Hachimura but only Yuta and one localized player, they are really a strong team and congrats to them as well.

I think this guy Abando should have played more minutes in the FIBA, I mean he is so electrifying that it could affect his team mates and that's what happen here. Clarkson is on fire, Kai Sotto had a good game. I thought it will be close because at the start of the 3rd quarter, Japan took the lead by the Philippines doesn't want to lose this one.

And suddenly Clarkson, he is on fire, hitting those 3 pointers and in matter of minutes he had like 20 points and then the Philippines pulling off a double digit lead. Hopefully this will carry the momentum of Gilas in order for team Philippines to qualify for the Olympics.

He really should have but the coach didn't give him that much playing time on their first matches. If he was just given a lot of playing time, I am sure that the chemistry of him and JC would have been great. He's just the recent MVP of KBL and that's why he's got a title and proved it to the world. Japan? Maybe you mean China, mate. Grin

Quote from: bisdak40 on September 03, 2023, 03:08:33 AM

Since Gilas is already eliminated and they don't have any more games in this tournament and i think people in the Philippines will surely be rooting for the USA to be the champion of this year's FIBA World Cup. They have a game today against Lithuania and i just wanted to ask the opinion of some users here if USA will be able to cover that -14.5 spread as I'm hesitant to put my money on them with that wide spread.

Lithuania won against USA and every fan has their own other team to support but don't forget that Gilas is qualified for the Olympic Qualifying tournament.

Maybe a lot has changed as they got more big man on this one and more likely have taken some wins. But we don't know, even Spain the number one team has been beaten by Latvia. This means that this FIBA is really full of surprises and a lot of teams that have come to be expected perform at their best are not guarantee of a win. It's just sad that our national team hasn't taken any win and if they lose to China this Saturday, our team is gonna be part of history. Yeah, but very bad history of being a team of not having any win as a host country.

It was really unexpected for Latvia to win against Spain but surely the ball is round and you can never know what may happen if the game hasn't ended yet so Latvia got upset for sure, it was a full surprise, but another Surprise was the 1st win of the Philippines against China surely it was really a great game all have performed well including Renz Abando, Kai Sotto and lastly the monster performance of Jordan Clarkson for this game,

Yeah, this is something that was unexpected and made a lot of people believe that every team is balanced and can win the World Cup. Truly a good game against China because before the Gilas was having a hard time to beat them and when it's like we're hearing they were opponent, it's already acclaimed that the Gilas is going to lose with a lot of lead from China but this time, Gilas did the opposite still a good win after all.

Quote from: owengtam09 on September 02, 2023, 10:44:55 PM

for sure it was a great game for the last coaching of Coach Chot Reyes for the Philippines because, after the game with China, he had already said that he is now retired as a coach,

Being the coach only for Gilas but not entirely as a coach since there's still PBA (local league).

Quote from: Distinctin on September 02, 2023, 01:29:36 PM

Crazy game! This is what the Philippines have wanted, but it only happened in their last game when it wasn't that necessary. JC is on fire, and it was a bad decision by China not to double-team him. We know that JC is a streaky shooter, and now he will be unstoppable. I don't think China will be able to mount a big comeback in the 4th quarter.

Well, that's a nice win and yes deserved win. It's what we're waiting for and at least a host country that has won at least 1 game. While the nation is celebrating for this win. The fact is that they're no longer qualified to 2024 Paris Olympics. And what's a good news not for us but for South Sudan, they're going to the 2024 Paris Olympics. A young country, and just a few years that became member of FIBA is now qualified for the Olympics. Good job to them.

but I will be waiting until the price fall again, and if it fall again I will not miss the opportunity of buying bitcoin and keep for long term investment

That's all you have to do and don't just put it in all talks. Make sure that you're gonna do your initiative and promise to yourself of how you're going to react and what you'll do when the time has come for you to start buying. Because you may not ask, there have been a lot of the same people that have said the same thing as yours but never done the thing they've said because of some instances that have stopped them in doing so. So, as you've told that, make sure that you'll put your mouth where your money is.

You are right but generally it depends on the individual when it comes to investment. Many people promise not to do it but I think it is the right time to invest when the price of bitcoin falls. Investors know that when the price of bitcoin falls, it will rise again this kind of competition in cryptocurrencies is good for investors.

It's always been the right time to buy when the price is low. But what people have been doing is they wait for some signs if they should buy even if it's obvious that the price is low.

Quote from: Negotiation on September 02, 2023, 05:35:49 AM

By doing this the value of the coin cannot increase much but in case of bitcoin it is opposite because bitcoin has gained so much popularity it has an opportunity to stay ahead of rival currencies.

It will remain at the top and those that don't take that moment of buying and still asking when to invest and buy bitcoin. You guys don't see the time that you have to do it which is now.

Quote from: Cadaver20 on September 02, 2023, 10:03:39 AM

It would be better if the question was, Which coin is more profitable and trustworthy?
Because you should not only look at the profit, you should also see how reliable the coin is. For example, many people made huge profits from Dogecoin, but after the hype, many people fell into huge losses.

It's always the motivation of most investors and traders, to make a profit, the money. But it's true that we've got difference temperance and tolerance of the market. If it's about trustworthy, we all know that there are only a few options for it but the most choice will be Bitcoin.

Quote from: Cadaver20 on September 02, 2023, 10:03:39 AM

Everyone knows the current status of the once popular coin LUNA. So Bitcoin is a coin that can be blindly trusted.

This is an issue of trust, before Luna was truly known and trusted and they're even always in the news that said of purchasing a lot of Bitcoin. Not until everything has come to an end and the true agenda of the devs came out.

It is going to be exciting if they can do it this season and if it's possible to make some trade offers to the Bucks. But if not, we have to wait until a year until he goes free agent. Anything is possible for a team that wants him badly and he badly wants to be with.

His free agency is so far away so many things can happen by then, with one of them being the Bucks winning another chip and having a top team. Why would giannis want to leave at that point. Or he gets injured and alters his desirability around the league, or any other thing that changes the current outlook. What we know now is the Bucks ain't in the market to trade him.

BTC will probably never become a globally accepted payment method and that's ok since it has many other advantages over traditional FIAT payment methods.

It's okay but even so, we can say that it's totally accepted globally since many countries and people have recognized it for its use not just as payment but mostly as an asset and that's okay. But yes, that's one reality that you can't everyone in terms of the acceptance of it globally as a payment method.

Quote from: Haunebu on September 01, 2023, 07:12:04 AM

It helped drive its adoption rates upwards drastically around the world which is what truly matters at the end of the day.

Yes, that's what really matters at this point. Before, the early adopters have only one thing in common and wished for and that is what we're experiencing and what bitcoin has achieved right now, it's global adoption and presence.

There is a halving coming next year to which many people who know and have bitcoins have set a target of the amount they hope to have in their holding by the time the bull run begins. I like to know if with this knowledge of bitcoin halving coming, if anyone is investing in anything other than bitcoins. I do not mean alt-coin but things like Real Estate, stocks, bonds etc. I know that Real Estate is good to invest in, but asides real estate, what else are you risking the money you should to invest more in bitcoins on?

Yes, I do and I have plans of investing in real estate. In my country, the prices of properties have gone up but they're much higher in the city unlike in rural areas. And if there are any other investments that I'll put, maybe it's for my personal development. Like learning new skills and developing it so that I'll be ready to jump into another career if I ever want to. I know that most of us have their own ambitions and like dream jobs and that's what I am trying to prepare for myself. For now it's just like a personal satisfaction but who knows if I'll be able to apply my learnings so, it's also an investment and don't forget to invest into yourselves as well.

you have to study money as you study women. Better to be a big player in finance, than a big player in romance. Nobody is called honey, like a man who controls money. money is a big tool. but, without it, the world will treat you like a big fool! the best way to make sense is by making money. otherwise you are making nonsense. Even scripture says money answers all things. money is not evil. it is the love of money that is evil. money is what enables you to convert your good thoughts to good deeds.

I agree that the love of money is the evil thing, money is essential and we all need.

Quote from: Smartgoat on September 01, 2023, 11:22:38 PM

How do you see it, if we use the time of studying women and romance, and think of money and how to make money. ?

You don't study women, you're the one that should discover what romance is all about. And that's gonna come naturally based on your experience and probably experiment. Just like in making money, there could be some disappointments and the same goes with romance and women.

Mahalaga nga talaga ang tamang investment, pag-aaral, at pagpapaunlad ng mga kakayahan para makamit ang mga financial goals. Malinaw ang iyong mga paliwanag at naging inspiring ang iyong mga salita. Nawa'y magbigay ito ng inspirasyon sa mga iba pang tao na naghahanap ng paraan upang mapabuti ang kanilang financial life. Magandang araw din sa iyo at salamat sa pagbahagi ng iyong mga kaisipan

Para makapag invest ka, kailangan mo talagang pag aral kung saan ka sasabak. Ang mali sa maraming mga tao, hindi lang pilipino ay yung pagiging madaliin at walang patience. Yan yung nagti-trigger kaya maraming naloloko sa mga investments na maling pamamaraan ang ginagawa.

In addition dapat din tayong magtiwala sa Diyos at manalangin para gabayan tayo sa mga nais nating gawin at hindi tayo mawala sa tamang landasin ng pagpapa-unlad ng pamumuhay. Medyo more on spritual guide ito and maaring hindi naniniwala ang iba (kaya paki-ignore na lang) . Sabi nga sa isang verse sa bible: 'Ask and You Shall Receive', Matthew 7:7. Kung ano man ang mga planuhin natin sa buhay dapat lagi nating inuuna ang Diyos at humingi tayo ng gabay at pagpapala para maging smooth ang ating negosyo. Ito kasi ang magbibigay sa atin ng kalakasan at mas maganda kung ito ang maging backbone ng lahat ng ating activity sa pagpapaunlad sa buhay pinansiyal.

Simpleng payo pero napaka powerful. Totoo yan at huwag na huwag tayong makakalimot sa Diyos. Baka may mga tao at kabayan man tayong hindi naniniwala sa Kaniya, okay lang basta ang mahalaga ay yung self reflection mo at paghingi ng gabay sa Kaniya.
