Generally speaking, a skill can be a hobby as well because your hobbies are things that you do when you have free time and we all know that practice makes a man perfect as they say, so if you have something as a hobby, it means you are pretty much skilled in it. So they are interchangeable things. You can say that you trade as a hobby, and you can also say that you have trading skills because you do if you do it regularly and precisely.

Someone who loves drawing or creating art, but they might have a different profession so they draw or make art when they are free. Now if they are very good at it, we can say that they have amazing drawing skills even though they don't have a career in it or do it professionally.

So, I believe it is completely okay to have forex trading or any sort of trading or literally anything as a hobby if you like doing it but you don't do it as a profession.

How would the payout be determined anyway? If I'm to make a bet that the newly launched meme coin, XYZ, is going to hit a certain price in the future, what would be the odds for my bet and how would that be determined? Will it be based on how close my prediction goes or some other way?

Nothing is undoable in the world, but it will take a lot of brainstorming and a lot of work to get something like that done. Besides, as @mindrust said it already, we have futures and options trading platforms where one can almost do the same thing just for a shorter timeframe, and wouldn't one be able to get more profit if they buy the coins or invest in projects that they think will perform very well in the future? Even the same amount being used as the bet could be used to make the purchase.

The thing is, these scammers are pretty good with the tricks and plots that they use to victimize people, and one wouldn't even understand that they are getting scammed because they use such wording, they approach you in a very good manner starting a conversation that doesn't make you feel like they are here to scam you because they wouldn't get to the point straight away. The scammer will make you feel unaware of what is happening or what is going to happen so that you don't suspect anything.

I have seen and experienced such things and I know how smooth they are in this craft. You will find a lot of such scammers in Telegram if you join crypto-related Telegram groups and channels. Someone like me or you who is experienced and knows such things wouldn't fall for their traps but someone who is new in the space would think they might have something good to offer because they would target people by giving them offers that they can't refuse out of greed.

Seems like you have taken it personally although my intention wasn't to make you feel that way. When we talk about personalized suggestions and opinions, they are supposed to be a solution to the problem being discussed. I don't see any value in a personalized suggestion that isn't in any way solving the problem. That was what I was trying to say if the marker fades away, there is no point in having it in the first place because you would still lose track of the post you were redirected to, you might be able to easily identify the posts but it doesn't mean it's a universal solution, and that is what is being discussed here. 

Talking about having individualized opinions myself, I did face the problem being discussed here all the time, however, the solutions discussed seemed perfect to me, so I didn't want to repeat anything, but since I didn't find your opinion suitable, I thought of pointing that out since all of us have freedom of speech in the forum and I have every right to do that. 

Arey bhai hum bhi toh hain is community men.  Kabhi kabhar post b krleta hon lekin abitak koi support nai dikha mujhe. Kia zrori hai k community ka hissa banne k liye lagatar local section men post kiye jain? Main toh Meta section men Pakistan board se related jo bhi post hote hain sab men apna support show krta aya hon lekin community ki taraf se koi support apne liye nai nazar aya.
Khair, meri koshish hgi k main community men mazeed active rahon aur dosre sections k sath sath yahan posts aur discussions men hissa lon ta k main b logon ki nazar men aaon. 

What's the point of having a marker if it fades away or disappears and you will still have to find the linked-to post by re-entering the link in the URL bar? The actual reason behind this proposal is so that you don't lose the post that you clicked a link to and be able to find it easily even after scrolling up or down on the page.

You need to read this part of the opening post once again I believe because you clearly didn't understand the context of the change being proposed or implemented:

That is a sad reality, but who is to be blamed for that? I guess the governments and those who are in power and are misusing their powers by filling their pockets with the money they get from within their countries and then borrowing from other countries for development and other purposes. That is completely wrong but what can be done at the end of the day?


Such countries need to increase the production of goods within the country so that they can import goods as well to make the economy better. I'm pretty sure that any country in the world will have at least something to produce that they can export to get some funds in return for their economy.


Who doesn't want that?  Every citizen of a third-world or developing country would want their country to prosper and get out of all the bad economic situations so that they can live peacefully without any problems.

Research is supposed to be backed by data and analysis that shows what you are saying has reality in it and isn't based on assumptions, and I don't see anything like that in your post.  

Anyway, I don't completely agree with that because whether a person gambles for fun or profit depends on their mindset and style and not where they are gambling. You can find a lot of gamblers who gamble online just for fun and to push their time forward when they are free, similarly, you can find a bunch of gamblers in land-based casinos who are there to earn money and not to have fun.

It may also depend on one's financial status sometimes. Most gamblers in large land-based casinos are wealthy people who come there to make some bets and have some fun while having a drink with friends or a companion, whereas people who mostly gamble online are those who can only afford to use a limited amount for their gambling activities and they wouldn't go in a land-based casino with that amount, of course.

It's not as easy and simple as you are trying to put it. When someone gets scammed, they don't just give their money away to someone who comes to them asking for it. As said by other members, they have manipulative approaches and they will trick you in ways that you wouldn't understand that you are getting scammed. I know you can prevent that from happening if you have had similar encounters in the past, but if it's your first time and you don't see anything shady at that moment, you are most likely going to fall for it. And remember, a third person would know it's a scam if they are told but when a person is stuck in such a situation, they won't be able to easily identify that they are getting scammed.

Scammers are expert in their craft, and you would know it when you face it yourself. I was once getting scammed on Telegram. I was working with an agency, the scammer contacted me as the head of our team, and believe me, he had set his account in such a way that you wouldn't even realize that it is someone else. He asked me to lend him some money because he isn't able to access his account at that moment. I almost fell for it until I realized I already had an open chat window with the guy and it is not him.

The point is, they make situations where it becomes difficult for you to evaluate what's happening quickly, and by the time you realize that, they have already done their work and there is nothing you can do after that point.

When you are explaining or describing something to people who don't know anything about it, you are supposed to make it clear and leave no doubts. The halving doesn't split in half the supply of Bitcoin, but it splits in half the block reward that miners get, which means that the increment in the supply of Bitcoin is split in half. When you say it splits in half the supply of Bitcoin, it sounds like the total supply of Bitcoin will get split in half after the halving which isn't true.


I don't find that approach to be practical, to be honest. If you are already rich, have a lot of money, and have invested in Bitcoin to get more wealth, it's understandable, but if you are struggling in your life, made some investment in Bitcoin, and got some money in the bull run, you shouldn't be buying materialistic goods for your happiness but do something for your future first. All of us love a lot of things, but we can't neglect our future just to get something that we have always wanted to have because that's not the right way to do things.

To be honest, I'm not surprised by this considering the craze for meme coins among new investors after they have heard the stories about people who managed to earn millions of dollars with investments as low as $50 or maybe $100 which is an amount that most of the new investors can afford to lose, so they keep trying their luck with each newly launched meme coin thinking one of them might change their life for good.

It's just like a gamble, but most investors are completely okay with it because they want to be among those who managed to become millionaires through some of these meme coins. The craze is unstoppable among newbies, and you can see it all around social media.   You will find hundreds of thousands of people sending certain meme coins to the moon, lol.

Is that someone he doesn't know? I don't think so because based on what he has written in his post, he clearly understands how it works and that the value of the Bitcoins bought drops and not the amount of Bitcoins. Even an absolute newbie would understand this thing in my opinion.

Besides, the topic wasn't about this nor was the question asked by OP. He asked about what you would do in case the market goes down and you see your investment losing value and you see no sign of any bullish movements soon. A newbie without ample knowledge about the market would probably panic in such a situation and might sell at a loss. An experienced and seasoned investor or trader would make use of the opportunity and buy more if they have the funds for that.

Dips and corrections are a reason for fear in new investors while they are considered opportunities to gain more profit by old and experienced traders.

Both are equally important in my opinion.

English is not the first language for most of us here, but we have learned it through constant practice and speaking/writing here and there. To be honest, it's not that difficult if you have a general understanding of things and have basic reading and writing skills.

Coming back to the topic, a post that contains good content and is relevant can be considered a constructive post, but if it has no English or grammatical mistakes, it becomes better because the readers won't have difficulties understanding the sentences constructed.

A lot of people I see in the forum use a single word multiple times in their post. I know English isn't their first language, but one should at least have the basic understanding of how they should write a post and how to use different vocabulary for each sentence so that it doesn't sound bad or repetitive.

You are talking about it with a business representation mindset where a person needs to look good and professional to gain attention because someone who doesn't look up to a high standard will barely catch many eyes. However, that isn't necessary for someone in their normal life. You can't go around wearing a suit all the time just to show the world that you are living a luxurious life and that you can afford it, that isn't grooming your personality but it is showing off, and one shouldn't be doing that.

If you are earning a lot of money, have a bunch of businesses around the world, and have prepared for your future with your businesses and savings, and you can still afford to do that, go ahead, there is nothing wrong with looking good if you can do it. However, if that isn't the case, you are earning some money and spending it all on luxury items only to look good for the world, then you are making a mistake because your first priority should be to secure your future.

Spending money on grooming your personality all the time while having insecurities about the near or distant future makes no sense to me.

Yes, don't stop for a quick bet when you are with your children, and always keep telling them that gambling is a negative thing and one shouldn't gamble. They might come to know about it later on but they will remember your words and teachings and will hopefully not become gambling addicts.

When you want to gamble, you are not supposed to do it when you have your kids with you. If you feel an strong urge for gambling at some point when you are passing by the casino, just go home, drop the kids home, and then go back to the casino for making the few quick bets you were about to make.

Upbringing of children play a great role at safeguarding them from negative aspects of the society because they would have everything in their minds and wouldn't go towards things that their parents have asked them not to do.

I believe a person should never invest money in Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies that are not spare which means that one should only invest money in Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies if they know they can afford to do that without having any financial implications after doing that. Your savings and investment funds should be separate so that you don't invest your savings in Bitcoin and then be under financial pressure when you face an emergency in your life.

It's a mistake that a lot of people do and I never like it. I know that most people invest in cryptocurrencies because they want financial freedom in their lives and they believe it can be achieved through cryptocurrencies, it's true, it has the potential to get that done, but it doesn't mean you should risk your life-savings in it.

The market is volatile and that's why unpredictable. If you are investing money that you have been saving up for emergencies, and then the market goes down and unfortunately, you face a situation where you need that money. You would get a lower amount if you withdraw it at that moment which makes you lose money.

So, only money that one can afford to hold for as long as required should be invested in cryptocurrencies, in my opinion.

It's eye-catching! So it has been designed by someone else? I thought it was your work. He did a great job though.



They sure will, I wish you good luck with that. 

To be honest, trading isn't as easy as some people might make it sound like, and it's not a child's play to get together a budget, get into trading, and start growing the money. If it was that easy, I bet there would have been no unprofitable traders in the market but there are, a lot of traders who enter the market with high hopes but leave with their hearts broken because they don't get to fulfill their wishes and make their dreams come true through trading.

Many traders and investors, mostly newbies, enter the market with the thought that it is easy to earn money from here, and a lot of credit for that goes to some influencers and content creators who make it look like that by showing the positives and not telling them about the negatives of the industry.

Unless someone decides to dedicate a lot of time and effort to the learning process before they make an entry into the market, I wouldn't even recommend trading to absolute newbies.

Awaam is se barh kar kia kar skti hai k usne apne votes de k apna leader chuna lekin jo faisla awam ne kiya usko toh maana hi nai gaya balke badal diya gaya. Aese men mulk k mustaqbil k baare men kia kaha ja skta hai k jo log power men hain wo apne power ka is qadar ghalat istemal kar rahe hain k awaam k faisle k kisi kante men nai ate.

Ab aese men awaam aur kia kr skti hai? Mujhe pata hai k jalsa jaloos, ahtejaj, boycott, sab kuch mumkin hai, lekin aek insan ko road pe nikalne se pehle bhi so baaten sochni hoti hain so cheezen dekhni hoti hain kyunke peeche koi dekhne karne wala nai hota, aur inhi majbooriyon ki waja se aadhe se ziada awaam chup chaap sab kuch sehti rehti hai.  

Hi.
I have a question about the withdrawal process.

Since we are not given the option to choose the network, does it mean the wallet address we provide is used to determine the network, and fees are charged based on that?

What I mean to ask is, if I'm being charged $3 for a normal Bitcoin network transaction, I would pay less than that if I'm using SegWit, but since we are not given the option to choose that, does the platform automatically chooses the network and decides the amount of fee to be deducted from the total amount based on that?
