I think it's better you know that you can't become a professional trader easily, also most of the videos you will be watching on YouTube will help you but most of them will only talk about profit, most of them won't talk about losing money, so if you are going into trading you should always have the mindset of profit and lost. Also if you want to learn trading easily you don't just have to watch videos and read pdf, you have to make sure you create account and put everything you read into practice, actually you will lose money but I think that's the best.
You will only become a pro in bitcoin and in crypto market through all the lessons you will gained from your crypto experiences. Regardless if you mostly win or lose, that is not important, the most important is you gain knowledge and skills, and you develop your own strategies because that will help you to be more successful in crypto. For now, I guess the listings of sources mentioned above could expand your knowledge in crypto so focus on studying at first.
1543  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Longterm Price Target on: August 26, 2022, 08:31:21 PM
This calculation of yours has really created a curiosity about the price of Bitcoin in the mind. It is true that one day the price of Bitcoin will skyrocket if the impact of Bitcoin continues. And it will also comes in to the volatilities. However, with the increasing use of Bitcoin, I think these volatilities also will be beyond imagination. However, I believe that no one can guarantee the long-term duration of Bitcoin or what the long-term price will ultimately be.
Bitcoin has always its uncertainties as much as no one can tell precisely as how long it will be beneficial or how expensive its price in the long term. But as long as there are people’s demand that continue to long for bitcoin, then it will always stay in the market, which also means its price will always grow and prosper in every year that comes. And the more bitcoin will be widely used and accepted, the higher value it will also reach.
1544  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will the price of BTC ever hit $40k again? on: August 26, 2022, 07:30:01 PM
Many speculations are showing nonstop. Some are saying that cryptos will again reach ATH but to some technical analyses, it will be hard for majority of cryptos to again break ATH. In reality, it is quite close to impossible to predict market behavior, accurately or atleast precisely. There are many factors affectinf market value and each of these factors are changing from time to time which further affect market prices. On my end, I do believe that someday Bitcoin's price will again soar high along with other cryptos.
Despite of the uncertainties happening in the market and those inevitable events that keep hitting and affecting the market, I still chose to be optimistic on the future price of bitcoin. I know $40k will be reached eventually and might even go beyond that, and I think that’s not impossible as bitcoin is the most proven crypto asset that reaches the highest and most expensive price. Maybe not happening this year, but in the next preceding years I guess bitcoin price will come up with a better one.
1545  Economy / Economics / Re: Education on: August 25, 2022, 09:39:31 PM
Education is not the only key to success anymore, then we all be believe that, if we don't go to school, we can't make it, the country is something else, we should find all means to be a successful person in life, education is good, but we have to find all means to make it, country which a graduate is riding bike, someone that spend thousands of naira to go to the school, is now riding bike, imagine,

So is always good to invest in once self, than working under someone, which you won't have time for yourself,

Just an advise

But do you think if you don't have proper education you will be successful? There's a lot of things you can learn on school and one of it is discipline and also on how to properly read also to write if you don't do this basic things for sure many people will exploit you because they think you are uneducated person.

So education is important but still it all vary to the person who do their job to enhance their life since at the end of the day if the educated person is lazy he cannot reach his want to be a successful person.
I would agree that education should still be given the topmost priority because you can’t be given big opportunities in life if you are also not a bachelor degree holder or if you have not gone into formal education. It’s certainly the key to success. However, success do not only come to educated people, as even those uneducated ones can still be successful in their own ways. If they have the skills in doing a certain job or they have their own expertise, they can still be great and would earn a lot of profits.
1546  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Teaching Bitcoin To My Friends| You're invited too on: August 25, 2022, 08:58:15 PM
For now, I will teach them about buying, selling, and holding Bitcoin, and I'll use YouTube for video tutorials. Also, maybe I'll buy a book about Bitcoin (if I can find it); if not, I'll have to download a book and print it out.

Actually, you can't be a good teacher if you are not a master of that field. So how about I suggest you postpone the teaching class until you fully understand Bitcoin, how it works, the risks involved and the best way to avoid such risk. Because in as much as Bitcoin is a good investment, don't forget that it is also volatile, of which the price value goes up and down every single seconds. So please never you be the teacher who teaches only the advantage of Bitcoin, but whenever you teach, always try to make people understand both sides, so that when the time comes, they will be able to make the right decision.
So once again. I wish you goodluck

Teaching can still be effective if there is an intervention between the teacher itself and the students, as the teacher also learns from the ideas of his own students. With bitcoin, as long as there are good video tutorials that will help OP to carry out to his friends about the concepts of bitcoin and all its advantages and disadvantages, then I think his friends will still learn and gain new insights from bitcoin. And if they are really determined, they can also continue doing DYOR at home to gain clearer understanding about bitcoin.
1547  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Taking the awareness of crypto and Btt forum to the youths on: August 24, 2022, 09:56:34 PM
I want my friends and well-wishers to know about crypto.
It is a good thing you have in mind, but I must also remind and advice you to be careful and cautious as you introduce cryptocurrency to your friends. Cautious in the sense that as you talk about crypto and have highlighted its potential to affect ones financial situation positively, many of them may be eager to want to skip to the part where you tell them how exactly to gain and may urge you to give them some financial advice, however tempting, you must avoid that urge to give financial advice to them as you talk about crypto, so tomorrow if it doesn't go their way, they wouldn't have you to blame and your relationship will be save.
It’s good to see that more and more people become more knowledgeable and interested in crypto but I just hope that they are not here believing that bitcoin could be a source for quick profits. Because if that’s the case, instead of earning an income and making decent profits from bitcoin, they will experience losses instead because they keep on rushing to make instant profits, which I think is very impossible for bitcoin to reap instant profits.
1548  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do real traders care about bear & bull market? on: August 24, 2022, 09:38:20 PM
I'm not much into Trading, but it looks like real traders always have their mind prepared for the best outcome unlike the market trend. Whether the market is bullish/bearish they try to make an earning out of the market fluctuation. This makes them to stand away from the normal traders. Even here they experience losses, but have got the tactics to overcome the same.
The pros in trading can always find ways to make profits in trading regardless of the market condition. However, I believe they can only start to maximize their profits if the market is good and is definitely stable, particularly when the market is bullish. Just like regular traders, profits will be easily achieved when the market is fine and stable, but it takes pro traders if you aim for maximum profits even where bear season is still around.
1549  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it advisable as a starter to engage in future trade? on: August 23, 2022, 09:57:45 PM
When I login to my trading App (Exchange), I do see an option for future trade and when try to give it a try, I will see a notification reading "Future trade can be very risky".
Is it advisable as a new trader to engage in future trade?
You've gotten enough advice on future trades hopefully this thread won't be made and abandoned. At least you should read and comment if anything is confusing or you don't think it's clear.
It's natural when the exchange warns that futures trades are risky especially for new traders who have very little knowledge of futures trades, don't try if you are still very knowledgeable it's better to try spot trades while continuing to learn a lot in trading.
Always start with the basic first. Just buy low and sell high because that will also bring good profits. Don’t rush into future trades because aside that it’s risky, it will not also going to work if you are not a pro in it. So take your time learning all the necessary knowledge and strategies and in due time, future trading will come easy for you.
1550  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Touching the life of random poor kids with all my 3wks campaign BTC on: August 23, 2022, 09:34:18 PM
Well done to the OP!
It was very generous of him to use his signature campaign wage to help less fortunate people.

There has been a few others on the forum who have done similar to help others, there was one
member who was buying Pizza for homeless people I think in the U.S.

This move by the OP has definitely sewn the Bitcoin seed with these young people, they surely
wont forget.
I guess OP is also living a good life and what he earned from signature campaign are just extra money, so     it would be easy for him to use his salary for the benefit of these poor kids. And for that, his action made him more close to the heart of the poor people which I think is a very good attribute. I can’t imagine how happy these poor kids are, and someday they will also do the same favor with you OP as their inspiration.
1551  Economy / Economics / Re: Entrepreneurship and women on: August 22, 2022, 09:50:49 PM
As a result of the difficult economic times, do you consider that there will be more women entrepreneurs competing with men in this field which it so looks like they currently dominate?
Honestly in todays time, we can say that the equality has been there and the problem about the subject of women vs men has started to be off and not sensitive topic anymore.

It's because whatever men does, women tend to do it and that's just equal. But I think, that it's not all about competition but many women won't be a housewife material anymore.

They can do whatever we do and being an entrepreneur, they can do that as well and those that are struggling will do whatever it takes for them to survive.

So, if we see more women shifting into being entrepreneurs, it doesn't really matter IMO.
Women are now seen excelling in entrepreneurship because they have also the capabilities and skills that they worked and developed overtime. So its not only for the men, but women of today seem very competitive too as they can successfully do whatever men wish to do. The equality is now more seen and proven, and for me there's no wrong with it because the women also deserve appreciation and recognition in the end.
1552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October on: August 21, 2022, 11:07:00 AM
On the other hand, Loma will be tested here because he hasn't fought for a while. But we have seen him destroying good fighters like Commey and Nakatani in his comeback fight after a shoulder injury and a lost to Kambosos. Now this could be his second coming. But I still think that Loma is still very much in his prime and maybe we will see another great performance.

I think you mean a lost to Lopez mate, Lopez then lost to Kambosos in his mandatory fight.

With a win by Usyk tonight, Ukraine's people must be in the high spirit now and come October it would be Lomachenko's turn to make his people proud. I don't see a Loma loss here because for me this is just a "keep busy" fight for him before fighting for the title next year, a rematch with Lopez might be a good one but i don't think Loma would go up in weight and chase Lopez so a fight with Haney is the way to go.

Yes, similar to what Manny Pacquiao and Nonito Donaire brings when they won, everybody is on a stand still, no crime in the street hehehe.

For those who are interested, here is the video of him arriving in the US. That time there were already news that he will make his comeback but at that time we don't know who is his opponent's name.

You can see in his eyes what the war has brought in him and his native country.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xyf9zPxI4o

Good for Loma because he is fighting for his country, after everything he has been through, he will be more inspired now to win the fight and to offer every fight for his countrymen, he is also a Hero but using his boxing skills to achieve success. As he is already back, hopefully he can continue his career and will continue to bring championships to his country.
1553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 21, 2022, 10:28:03 AM
It's hard to argue against.  Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter the NBA has ever seen.  He changes the game and requires the defense to pay special attention to him at all times.  This makes his teammates much better than they otherwise would be if the defense didn't have to focus on Step.  Offensively, Steph is hands down the best player in the NBA.

However, he is also a pretty big liability on defense.  You could make the case that his defense cost them the title in 2016 and that other teams target him.  So it's tough to say he's the best player in the world.  I'd rather call him the best shooter of all time.
Being the best player would really require balance stats for defense and offense. No doubt that Steph really has changed the shooting since he stepped up.

AFAIK, he's the one that I've seen that's really good in those threes and he has mastered it with his entire career. I guess on players like him, he don't have choice but only to master offense and let his teammates do the rest for defense.

I agree about him as the best shooter.

Yes, best shooter there is no debate about that, he really revolutionize the game with his shooting, going further and further away and even at the logo or 50 feet and beyond. For the defense argument, I somewhat agree but then again, we will go back to the eras. I'm not saying that this era or at least the last decade of the NBA didn't focus on defense. But with coaches like Phil Jackson,  Jerry Sloane retiring, and then we have coaches like Mike D'Antoni employing a run and gun, you need to score in less than 10 seconds or less, and playing without true center, the game has chance a lot that maybe the argument for Curry was the best player right now holds true as per Shaq.

Curry has proven himself, not only he is a best shooter but he also won multiple championships. The last achievement was a big statement that says he could carry his team, though they have the big 3 but it was Curry who is the most important of the 3, and he can really stepped up in crucial games.

Both Thompson and Green have some games where they struggle, but Curry is always their to pick them up and win.
1554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: August 21, 2022, 05:15:40 AM

Well, from the point of view of betting, it's something else, but I think that this time Martinez really wants to stand out and from what I've read the boxer has very good technique, at a professional level I'm sure he won't do badly, so I have seen, some give Ancajas the winner, but in my personal opinion Martinez is a clear winner for me, obviously without going through Ancajas's abilities, Martinez is a boxer who for now will be measured with a higher degree of demand, here he can discovering that there is a business model that is impressive, and the statistics are supporting it, I wonder if it goes 3:1 how it will be in less time, will the ratio increase?

On the first fight it was obvious that Martinez was the clear winner, it was not a controversial fight as even the fans of Ancajas believe that Martinez won. Well, we are now in the rematch, I'm just hoping that Ancajas will make the right adjustment so it will not again result in a one sided fight.
1555  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: August 21, 2022, 04:59:43 AM

A bit of a trivia Smiley. Coach Chot Reyes is 4-0 in PBA Finals in All-Filipino Cup and on the other hand, Coach Leo Austria is 5-0 in PBA Finals in All-Filipino Cup.
Now I know thanks for the trivia mate it seems those finals in all Filipino cup is for the battle of the best coaches in PBA as you said that coach chot eyes record has a 4-0 while coach Leo Austria has also a good record which is 5-0 and now this season they will face and one of the best coaching style will be the best and claim the trophy and as I observe in their previous match is seems we can see a very good fight, tight defense and good offense for both teams.
Good observation but it looks like Coach Chot Reyes will not be able to attend the early games of the finals but hopefully he can still catch up since he also handle the Gilas team which will start this week. Well, the finals are more exciting because of the two great coaches, the odds are out already and It’s a good odds because you can see that TNT and SMB are equally good and the odds can easily be covered. This will be a high scoring game for sure, let’s find out this one today.

Both are offensive coaches and they will equal the capabilities of their opponents or better to dominate them when opportunities come up. These two coaches have the system that will allow their players to play and find the advantages. More on rotations and finding the weak side to penetrate, we already discuss the offensive arsenals and how it will work in terms of offensive attacks.

It will be revealed later and good luck to all who already place their bets on whoever wins the game 1 they are deserving as finals is ready
the last competition that both top caliber teams will be playing for the title crown.

We have to commend the job of Chot Reyes on TNT, although has has a lot of criticism on handling the Gilas team, but we cannot deny that the TNT has became a championship team when Chot Reyes assume the job again. So this time, it's going to be a tough battle for him but he has all the weapon to win this series.
1556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: August 20, 2022, 11:31:08 AM
Exerting more effort into the marketing will help them sell more, more PPV and gate entrance means more money, and probably more sponsorship as well. This is an anticipated fight and it could only happen once, so they have to take this opportunity to make more money.

Marketing is not a problem. Just announced officially that anticipated fight then brace for big sales and probably all tickets will be sold in just a day. This is a blockbuster fight that anyone waits for years. This will probably be the biggest fight this year of all the big fights that happened this year.

Before, it was just a dream and far from being happened. Now, it was close to happening and people's money is just waiting to watch this fight.

I always subscribe to PPV on our local cable channel for that type of event. I hope the price is not high though not expecting it to be cheap. Just between.

I believe both sides are still checking the pulse of the boxing community.
This can be their biggest paycheck for both boxers, so maybe, they are also careful on when and where this fight will happen.
And also, the arrangements on both camps. The purse split and all the other things attached to it.
This is no ordinary match for both of them. I believe a lot of boxing fans would be willing to pay for this fight.

They know they will make more money, what they are waiting is to ensure that they will maximize the possible income they can get here. We are only speculating, the money side is already a win-win for both, however, we know that whoever losses this fight, his future might be affected.

The wait is over guys, odds are already out just now. Check your sportsbook !

SMB is indeed the favorite but a slight favorite only.

SMB -1.5
over/under 194.5

That might change a bit defending on the bets that would come, so if you like SMB to win game 1, I think -1.5 is decent enough.

Let us not waste time, get that line now, whether it move in favor of TNT or not, it doesn't matter because that -1.5 is already a gift in case SMB will win since it can easily be covered. About the total, I guess this will be a high scoring game as both teams can shoot outside.
1558  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which one do you think its more healthy for a project on: August 19, 2022, 07:57:17 PM
Most especially new projects do you think its healthy to rush things up or take a lot of time and gradually release updates and follow roadmaps slowly? There are some complains that most projects aren't following the exact timing on their roadmap and some even takes this is Red Flag.
I personally think that a slight delay was not a problem as long as the project developers can deliver what they have written in their roadmap. The thing might be different if they were giving a very long delay. that may make investors feel bad with it.
You must also know that if that was also a red flag to the project caused by the dev was not competence to continue its development.
To think that the project already shows a red flag from the start, then there’s no reason to trust it anymore and continue to invest. Except for those good projects who are really trying their best to meet the deadline and follow the roadmap, they deserve to be understood and should gained our trust. Other than that, projects that are only rich in their promises but seem to have less in action, I think they are not worth of our penny.
1559  Economy / Economics / Re: Economic Politics: Rent a House for Free and Earn on: August 19, 2022, 07:15:44 PM
This is actually quite common here in my country. There are those who will rent an entire house and offer the rest of the vacant rooms for other renters. The kitchen, living room, and restroom are common areas shared by everyone. I used to rent a room in the city with this setup.

But normally among students and even workers, they just rent an entire house or a spacious apartment together and divide all the expenses equally among them. In this way, they can save a good deal and live quite comfortably. Nobody is making any profit.
True. Students nowadays have become wise in managing their finances. Instead of looking for a single room to rent, some group of students prefer to rent an entire house and just end up dividing all the expenses including the electric and water bill, and the rent itself. So they can save a lot, and those extra money can still cater to their daily allowance or for their various projects in school.

Have been involved with Crypto 6 months now and my portfolio is now only 20% down due to this run we are currently going through.

My main position is 55% in profit and I have been debating if I should take some to then buy back lower when we experience our next crash.

Just wondering what everyone else does? Do you take profits along the way and if so at what point? Or do you just invest to hold long term?

When I first started 6 months ago I had the intention of just buying and waiting 2-3 years till our next bull run to cash out but lately I have been thinking if I can also make money along the way then that would be even better.
It’s definitely your own choice if you intend to hold for long term while taking profits along the way. It’s a good idea indeed but let me remind you that it’s not as easy as it is. You have to be very careful and find the right timing to take your profits so that you won’t sell at a loss. Otherwise, if you happen to sell at a bad price, you will never make profits at all and your hodlings might be compromised too as you might also sell them when it’s not yet the right time to sell.
