1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think will be the next hype in crypto? on: January 27, 2024, 09:38:27 PM
The next boom of alt-coin 2025 is unknown to everyone, but surely a particular will be lunch and trend as Defi and NFTs, in which Bitcoin halving is at the right corner waiting  for the cryptocurrency market to kick off as Bull Run session that we trigger the next hype Coin.

Been long time away from this forum. And though it has been more than a year, but it seems a lot have happened already. So checking out what is new here and what projects are in these days. Let us see what's gonna happen this year. I am excited going back and check what potential coins I will be looking at next ...
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BNB or ETH ? on: September 27, 2022, 11:31:10 PM
I chose both, although they are almost similar but also very different, the most basic thing is the transaction fee, BNB is cheaper than ETH. Therefore, there are far more BNB users, but on the other hand, ETH users contain whales. The ecosystem is also the same, nothing is different.
the ecosystem is the same but there's definitely some difference there, in bsc there are so many shit coins and newer projects meanwhile in eth even though there higher in fee but the number of quality projects are quite many compared with bsc, even though it can be argued that bsc also have fair share of good quality projects in there, but if i were to choose for investments i'd go with eth first and then bnb since actually both have equal potential as you said.

Are you sure that eth network is free from crap projects? I don't think so. Actually, there are so many eth tokens that are abandoned and dead already. Anyway, you will find crap project in any of these networks. It is how you will dig the foundation of each project to know their worth in the market. As for me, I will go for both, BNB and ETH. They are the top alts and worth your money, as compared to most meme tokens and alts.
3  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are candlestick patterns overrated? on: August 27, 2022, 11:51:53 PM
How can it be overrated ? Everything in trading depends on candlesticks. By looking at the candlestick charts, you can determine when it is good to invest or when it is bad.  How would we get the signals if there was no candlestick? I think this question has no logic because trading analysis fully depending on candle stick . So I can't agree with that it's overrated.

For people who understand the importance of candlesticks in their trading, it is not overrated but an important tool for them to earn profits. Because if you don't know how to utilize these candlesticks, you will indeed see it as overrated or not useful. But for most traders, it is their secret tool to understand the market of the specific coin along with their knowledge of what's going on with the project.

Quite impressive, your Blockchain has been launched, currently there are 425 wallets, hopefully it will grow quickly.
When did you start this project, because your twitter account just made a few tweets and started from this month. I also hope you share your project team.

Thanks for your interest!

This project is in it's starting phase, so it will be natural to find our social links relatively young Wink

The project, however, is only young in age. The ideas behind it have had a 2 and a half year process, as demonstrated by the presence of a large number of ready-to-use applications, launched together with the creation of the blockchain.
You can easily see the team at this link https://oho.ai/docs/oho-team/

Hope to see you soon between us  Wink

OHO Team


I saw that your team is very diverse, do you think it won't give any trouble later on in terms of the longevity of the project? As they are based in different countries, what do you think will be your biggest challenge when it comes to the implementation of your network?
5  Economy / Economics / Re: Asset and liability, one key factor for poverty among most Africans on: August 26, 2022, 09:40:22 PM
Conclusion
👉👉Let 70%- 80% of your income goes to asset. It is better to invest ones money on asset than getting liabilities that will bring no income.

👉👉Only acquire liability if the liability will add value to you, your business or improve the income made in your business.

👉👉Only acquire liability after gotten a good investment that is capable of providing enough returns for your home and the liability purchased maintenances.

First of all its is not really possible to expect someone to invest their 70% of their income, even if they invested 20 to 30% then they will attain financial freedom sooner and probably can live the life sfter retirement peacefully. So I just wanted to keep the amount to somewhat realistic which is 25%.

Better realize the difference between needs and wants so they can spend money economically.

And most of all better to know reality than illusion.  I wonder how can an average earner person survive if 70% to 80% of his income goes to assets.  People have to pay rentals, monthly bills, and personal maintenance, food, transportation etc..  For a normal employee or a minimum wage earner, it is lucky to have an excess of 20% of their monthly salary. In my place in order for me to safely invest my 70% income, I need to earn at least $5k per month which is impossible because the minimum wage in my country is only $10.15 per day taxes and miscellaneous charges haven't been deducted from that.   It is ideal to save and invest but the percentage OP is suggesting is way overkill!  Grin

This is very true. Not all people can afford to allot even 20% of their earnings to assets especially if you are just a minimum wage earner. Even if you say you are frugal with your life, still there are basic needs that you need to pay. You would be more than happy to even spare 5% of your earnings to your savings if your wage is just an average one. Most are just living from paycheck to paycheck, so you are lucky one, if you can spare some for your savings.
6  Economy / Economics / Re: Entrepreneurship and women on: August 25, 2022, 10:56:05 PM
I think the thing that makes women not many who become Entrepreneurship is because they are very careful, they will only do it based on their experience and what they learn, maybe most women are more thorough than men but Entrepreneurship needs skills out of the box and of course risks so that women avoid it.
There's a term called Male Idiot Theory coined by an American cartoonist that states that boys or men tend to do riskier things even without recognizable rewards at the end so it says things about the difference between men and women plus there's still discrimination in the workplace, men will trust men to lead them more than women.

Well, we can say men do make some mistakes when it comes to their decision-making process. We can't deny that they are guilty of some of these behavior. They are more risk takers, I guess. But with women, they want an assurance of what they do next. There are pros and cons with such behaviors, they may get lucky of such decision though.

If there will be no intellectual property attached to your medical research, would it be prone for other people to copy your concept or idea? Are you okay with it? And who are the people that will conduct your medical research? Do they have the qualifications to handle the job?
8  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why there is so much resistance at $23k price on: August 24, 2022, 11:26:03 PM
Yes, the price is going nowhere, for a time it seemed as if the price was actually going up and that it was a matter of time for the price to surpass the 25k barrier, but it did not happened and now we are seeing the price at the 21k level, so I think this confirms what a great deal of us thought, that the market is just ranging and it is a mistake to think that this is going to change any time soon as there is simply not a lot of strength in the markets right now.
This seem like 2018 for me, the price is really mimicking 2018 price, this makes me also think that the price may not surpass $30000 this year, but it can be up to $35000 to $40000 in 2023 which will still further to decrease back again to around $20000 to $25000 before 2024 halving. It is just a prediction, no one knows what would actually happen, but this year is not favoring bitcoin just as we predicted and likely would be all through this year like that as we predicted too.

This is the mystery of this market, no one knows which way we are heading next. Even long timers or so they say the crypto experts don't know where exactly bitcoin will be in the next coming months. We are all equal when it comes to speculation and all. So it depends on your gut feel how we will end up in the next coming months, and prepare for it.

It's been a while since we updated everyone on our progress so our lead dev @0xScotch is going to do an AMA.

Wen? Wednesday 24th Aug 5pm UTC


What I am hesitant with algo-based stablecoin project is their longevity in the market. I have seen them with good spirits at the beginning but hard to achieve success. But anyway, since the team explored this type of coin, they know possible bottlenecks that they will encounter on this project. And they may have solutions in place already.
10  Economy / Economics / Re: Thought: how far can you go in a career without going against your principles on: August 23, 2022, 10:04:01 PM
in essence life is to seek happiness and peace both physically and mentally, it's just that some people think it is achieved by becoming a slave to desire and throwing away moral principles, trust and honesty, so that financial and economic wealth is no longer something that must be fulfilled and fulfilled,, but becomes a power and greed

I think, in time, we will reach to the point on assessing our lives. Yes, we want to be slave by our desires, especially if you are still in your younger years, but then, later on in our lives, when we experienced a lot of struggles and challenges, we will come to a realization on what's important to survive and be contented with our lives. And finally, follow our principles and just be at peace on the things that we really value most.
11  Economy / Economics / Re: Will Hong Kong consider Bitcoin? on: August 22, 2022, 11:39:10 PM
Hard to really see this happening due to the current thick tension between the 2, in addition to Bitcoin already being banned in China.  This could be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back and cause all hell to break loose.

This is what I am thinking as well. It seems China won't totally let go of HK. So it may be the hindrance when it comes to bitcoin adoption as China is banning the usage of crypto. Well, we will see how far the banning will go. Because HK is somewhat independent and they are more open to change and other technological advancement.
12  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin hit 100k or more in 2022? on: August 22, 2022, 11:05:37 PM
Anything can happen, sometimes the movement of Bitcoin is wild and uncontrollably, at this time the price is around $ 23k but it does not rule out the end of the year to reach $ 100k, I am always optimistic to continue to buy and make for long -term investment, the fact that prices can skyrocket in a short time Makes me never bodily and panic when the price is dropping.
It's good that you never panic when the price drops and keep making purchases because now the Bitcoin price is under $23K again and I think it will be much better if you want to buy it in very large quantities if you have high confidence in Bitcoin right now . Because Bitcoin still has the potential to increase more even though it is currently still experiencing frequent declines after increasing by a few percent.
I'm also optimistic about bitcoin and its possible new all time high but to be honest, i'm not expecting for bitcoin price to reach $100k this year as we are already close to the last quarter but still bitcoin is not showing high surges. However, its also an opportunity for us to see bitcoin still in a low price since it will give us chances to increase the quantity of our owned bitcoin through buying at its low and affordable price, and hold them for long term.

The possibility is always there but sometimes we need to look at things realistically, so we can prepare on what may possibly come in the next coming months.  $100k is still high for me considering we only have few months left. But we can't say it will not happen as we have seen, even a 24-hr period in this market can surprise us, depending on the news that will hit in this market.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The first physical business that accepts Bitcoin payments in my area. on: August 22, 2022, 09:54:00 PM
Recently I decided to take a work around my neighborhood since I am on holiday. I have just walked a few distance when I saw an inscription on a particular wine shop. It reads Bitcoin Accepted Here. It was like a dream come true because I have never seen a physical business accepting Bitcoin. I have come across some online, but never seen something like this wine shop in my whole life.
I could have bet that this business was owned by a young person, Your write up confirms it. Just as you were attracted to the shop because of the very bold "bitcoin accepted here" sign you saw, so other young persons who see it as well, will be drawn to want to try. An effect this could have for his business is that it has the potential of increasing his client base as I already highlighted its ability to attract young people especially. It can also drive adoption as other shops in the area noticing this business advantage this shop has over them which is accepting bitcoin, they may be forced to look into integrating it into their payment system as well.

One improvement that they can do though for the owner of the shop is to educate at least one of his staffs how to accept btc payment. Because it will be a bottleneck if someone wants to pay btc and his boss is not around. Even if the address is owned by the boss, he can surely see the incoming tx even if he is not physically present in the shop. The communication is fast these days because there are so many medium now how to communicate with one another.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as my new payment method on: August 21, 2022, 11:31:49 PM
We've heard here a lot of stories about Bitcoin acceptance as a payment on their place and I hope they understand how volatile Bitcoin is to know possible risks on the price.  Glad to hear a story like this, it will help the community of Bitcoin go strong and give awareness to the people in your place.  But one thing just to make sure, understand how Bitcoin works because it's very crucial in your business, all transactions are irreversible, once you've hit the send button and have at least 3 confirmations on the network, you can't undo it.

However, it always has an advantage if we've knowledgable about it, I suggest you study it.
Good luck with your business.

More than likely, he already knew the risks involved when it comes to crypto market. As he might have seen the up and down movements, he knows what he's getting into. Because he can always convert it to fiat upon receipt of crypto payment to avoid possible losses. Or he can wait, and exchange it when bitcoin is high. So exploring the crypto payment may give him benefits and it is up to him how he will prevent losses.
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Best Crypto friendly country? on: August 21, 2022, 10:55:34 PM
I conducted a search on your topic and the countries that came out of my search was;
   . Singapore
   . Switzerland
   . Netherlands
   . El Salvador
   . Vanuatu
As an avid crypto trader/investor, the above listed country are the crypto-friendly countries that could be perfect for you as they embrace the inherent volatility of cryptocurrencies. Those five countries have a good reputation being the most crypto-friendly country.
 More information is contained here: https://learn.bybit.com/investing/most-crypto-friendly-countries/

Based from the list, I only know El Salvador having bitcoin as legal tender. As the OP is asking which countries are having btc as legal tender also. Others may have loose regulations when it comes to crypto but the OP should look into these countries closely if he is planning to visit in one of them. They have their own protocols when it comes to crypto and you also don't know how wide is the coverage of the crypto usage among its merchants.
16  Economy / Economics / Re: Effect Of Delayed Gratification On Investment Outcome. on: August 20, 2022, 11:38:18 PM
There have been made studies in the past which show that delay gratification is in fact a key factor when it comes to explaining the success people get over time, and it is not difficult to see why, those which can delay the want to purchase something and instead save that money and then invest it end up in a better position later in life than those which were in the same circumstances but which spent their money immediately or even took on credit to make on their purchases, so it is important that before we buy something we want but do not need to think about it first and see if it is not better to save that money instead of spending it.

Not many people can hold off when it comes to their investments, especially if they are seeing good profits from it. But for those who can wait, they can reap the rewards and enjoy the fruit of their patience of holding off. But this is only true if  your investment is worth waiting for. Because some need to be discarded once you see positive profit from it.
17  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Poll: In your opinion is this the end for Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency? on: August 19, 2022, 11:38:54 PM
I don't know, why such questions arise with you people. Even when the price of bitcoin touched the ath there were scams happening around bitcoin, there were money laundering with bitcoin, there were illegal transactions and more can be said. By that time none thought the bitcoin is towards its end. Now without any reason why this thoughts were arising. People need to educate themselves.

This is why it is understandable if the poll has just only one answer, No. Even if we experienced a lot of ups and downs in this market, I don't think we will see the end of this market. The truth is, we are just starting to engage some newcomers as before crypto has a lot of negative connotations attach to it. People are just now understanding the benefits of blockchain tech as many are now educating themselves about the truth of this technology.
18  Economy / Economics / Re: Why aren't people utilising cryptocurrency payment methods? on: August 19, 2022, 10:05:27 PM
Agree with what you say, because in some countries it is not meant to be a means of payment. Some of them even still do not allow their citizens to adopt bitcoin, so it is indeed very difficult to pass regulations.
My country is still in a neutral stage right now but there is still no talk of paying via bitcoin and it's likely that this will never happen so no matter how hard we do it it still won't work.
If Bitcoin is not added to the latest regulations for wider use including for alternative payment methods then whatever efforts we make will not be successful, so I think the government will not give dispensation for the use of crypto and keep it for futures investment not for alternative payments because of the potential replace the use of fiat.
Even they are afraid off about that probability of replacing fiat but still it cant really be possible if we are really thinking up realistically.Even though cryptocurrencies does have its pro's and benefits but it wouldnt be surely enough on taking replacement of fiat that we've been using through ages.It cant just be possible but instead it would really be just sitting around on being alternative.

So far, crypto payment is just another alternative to fiat payment method. I don't think that will change in the coming years. Why not be grateful that crypto is increasing its usage in the market? And the number of users as well are increasing. But to replace fiat, I don't think we will see that in our lifetime. We are going digital but the fiat system will remain for long time.
19  Economy / Economics / Re: How micro payments can help to alleviate global poverty on: August 18, 2022, 11:20:21 PM
in areas experiencing poverty problems of course they will experience difficulties in all aspects. it's not just about eating. they even find it difficult to go to school and seek knowledge and insight. because some of them are not even familiar with smart phones. so it is difficult for them to have broad insight, so that creativity is not channeled. sometimes this lack of knowledge is the main obstacle. so free education is very important for areas experiencing poverty.

but always the most surprising of those who live poor is that they actually have a good level of intelligence. it's just that they need to be given space and opportunity. and education to explore their own potential.

obligation for people who can afford is to educate and facilitate them.

creating a platform that helps them is also one of the solutions after education.

I can agree with you here. Education is one of the keys to alleviate them from poverty. However, only selected few are given the chance to pursue their education because of their economic status. Micro payments, I think, is not main contributor that can uplift their status in life. it is their education and means of livelihood. Some are just waiting for available decent jobs to come by, else, they are just contented to have those backbreaking jobs with very unfair wage.
20  Economy / Economics / Re: Google leads corporate blockchain investment race on: August 18, 2022, 09:54:37 PM
They're a tech company and they know what shall be supported and not in terms of the upcoming technology trend.

Well, no doubt that with this investment that they have, they're supporting the upcoming trend and more, they won't be left behind.

This is just a small move that they've got an,d what if the next thing they'll do is to acquire most of the successful blockchain projects (not tokens)?

They are one of the giants company so they have their resources on how to assess the market. I am certain, they did their research on this market, and they see good possibilities, hence, investing in this technology. They are not dumb not to invest if they see good potential of this market in the coming years. If they invest good amount, it means they believe on this market.
