Both are skill based yet former is considered sheer gambling while later is not. Fantasy sports has become norm, while on the other hand if people come to know that you bet on sports you'll be met with eyebrow raise.

^ that's my opinion. What's yours? Do you consider both of them same or different?

I'm confused, how do people think sports betting is pure gambling and fantasy sports betting is not? they are basically the same thing and the only difference is that the match on fantasy sports happen virtually and while the match on sports betting is not. anyway, I do view both of them as gambling.

Hi I have been toying with the idea of investing in BTC but have waited due to some investors saying the price will drop to 12 - 16k again. do you think it could still drop to this or are we more likely to move on up to 40k?

thanks in advance.

You are a beginner, and your faith in Bitcoin is not strong. You don't know what you actually want, or, shall I say, you don't have any decisions of your own.

There is a saying, "No time is ever too late." Anytime one has the money and decides to invest, that's the right time for the person. We don't need to wait for 12k, or 13k, or 20k, because those figures might never be seen. The more we wait for those price falls, the more likely we are to see a price pump. The low price you see today might never be seen again. Anyone who wants to buy and hodl BTC should actually not be thinking about price; most times, it delays the decision to invest.

If you actually want to invest in Bitcoin, I will advise you to buy when you have the money you are willing to risk; don't invest what you can't afford to lose. We know no money is considered useless or worthless, but always invest in something that won't hurt you the most if things don't actually go in your favor.

If bitcoin crash today, what will be your fate? Poor or rich. Most people on the platform have submitted all their life savings to bitcoin investment. There was once a man in my area who sold his house to invest in a local platform called BARAZAR in 4 months missive the so-called BARAZAR was shoot down and now he does not have a cottage. So I ask again if bitcoin crashed today what will be your description rich or poor?

Hi All,

I'm brand new here, I just wondered if many people trade Crypto in the 1 Minute time zone? what is the preferred time zone, for most traders?

Thank you

Most crypto currencies are valued using dollar including Bitcoin .Does this mean that fluctuations in the price of dollar will affect the price of Bitcoin directly or indirectly.since most other currencies(not  crypto)  still are priced using dollar expecially during exchange.
Or does the pricing of dollar value have no effect on Bitcoin 

Hey, you are wrong, you should take back this statement. Bitcoin can't be priced by itself it has to be paired with a fiat or valuable commodity to know the value. This could be USD and the rest. Look everywhere, no currency and commodity are used to measure the value of bitcoin more the USD, same is what I know for other cryptocurrencies. The US dollar is the most recognised currency in the world, for this reason it will always be on the forefront in knowing the value of valuable assets like cryptocurrencies.

Hello everyone am new here, more like a trader that got by with a bit of knowledge through personal experience (success and failure's) since 2020 but got introduced to this forum by a friend,pointing out that I can find information's and be able to communicate with other enthusiast in the crypto market. I look forward to my experience here.
P.S I have really poor knowledge on bitcoin technicalities, am more of the chart reading and gut feeling type. so I hope am not breaking any of the rules posting here.
Was really curious to understand if technical analysis is vital or just a means to reduce risk. Thanks in advance

Everything can be learned as long as it is always accompanied by perseverance, dedication, determination, and above all, passion. Because when you have all this, it is not unlikely that you will easily understand the so-called technical analysis when you are doing actual trading here in cryptocurrency.

Because the knowledge of understanding technical analysis or whether it is fundamental, it is an advantage to an individual trader when you know how to read charts and analyze graphs,

After 10month later btc again touch 30k range, Although I was happy to see it rise to the range of 30k, but a deep pain and fear was created in my chest, actually the fear is that I don't feel comfort when the price of bitcoin goes higher because after investing at that price, if btc's value goes down. It's like the bitcoin pump couldn't make me happy.
I would like to know your feelings on this matter. 

Actually bitcoin is simply following its own trend like it has made in the other halving phase. So, I expect that Bitcoin will range between 30k and 40k during this year, and maybe next year we'll see something of cool. Also

don't forget that we should see how the real economy goes, if things doesn't go well how can Bitcoin raise?

As the title says, Twitter partnered with eToro and starting tomorrow (April 14th) users will be able to trade crypto and stocks directly on the platform.

Twitter needs to first control spammers, bots, scammers and it's security. There have been in the past & present of scammers able to influence trends using bots. Just imagine what will happen when someone uses this new feature. Accounts getting hacked is something which is very common. Genuine accounts getting banned is also an issue. Spamming & trolling is a common on it.


I think it is too early to implement a trading feature like this. You never know suddenly Elon might tweet that Dogecoin is the official currency of Twitter after this trading feature gets activated.

The resources needed to satisfy all the want of human being are said not to be enough compared to all the want of humans we have many want we would like to satisfy at any given point in time which we may not be able to meet up with due to economic problems scales of preference simple is setting our needs inorder of priority.

I do not think that this saying is correct. When our requirements were primitive, man discovered wood, which was burned to obtain fire and the beginning of energy. After the needs increased, coal appeared, including steam locomotives and internal combustion engines. Then oil appeared and the aviation industry developed. Therefore, when human needs increase, resources develop in return. necessary to cover these needs.

I remember 100 years ago, people did not know about oil, and even when it appeared, they were not aware of this wealth, so the next wealth may be close or even outside the planet.

Correct me if I am wrong

I am not a football fan and any form of prediction is still a gamble to me, but I have gamble on few different online casinos and I believe that gamblers on casinos gambles with the casino games, meaning it's between the gambler and the casino, but with football it is different, your bet is on the performance of a soccer team and the gambling platform will only win your money if your football team loses, right?

This makes it more cleaner to me, there will be no tampering of the system or fine tunning their games to make gamblers loses more than they win.

Can anyone confirm if this is right? Or wrong.

Some days looks like a curse day, I wanted to keep it to myself but I felt it more reasonable to share. I involved in some business investment which initially the promise was really good after week of deal, I just back from work, I saw a call from my colleague we did the business together and I call back to hear him crying on phone. That the business we involved into is fake and the office is close, the MD has disappeared, for two minutes I was shivering with sweat because that's the highest amount I have involved business so far. Am regretting to have used in bitcoin by now I would have be on advantage with bullish price.

I have not gotten myself this days. Do you feel down when such sudden hits happens to you?

yeah that's right. Everyone will certainly experience sadness and regret that is quite heavy when they have to lose money due to being deceived or because of other things. But we must take lessons from the events that have occurred. so be more careful in the future. and we also need to study the types of fraud that are frequent these days. Ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes are types of fraud that have been trending for a long time. but unfortunately there are still many who are deceived by this type of fraud. This happens due to the lack of knowledge and education about it.

Last month my trade was great, I make some dooh but this month is cashloss experiment. I don't really understand the mystical magic behind the technological process of this trading as if someone or something is regulating the system. The system dash you small cash this week and collect big cash from you next week. Is not sweet to bear big loss than gain,  and this things happens anytime the market looks like bitcoin wants to boom.

I see that there is no complete expert trader, at a point everyone experience loss both robots. That's means the market is kind of seasonal, it can favor you today and hit you tomorrow.

If you expect the market to behave exactly the way you want it, sorry but you will never be able to get that. There are multiple reasons why a market behaves in a certain way, and behaviours tend to change over time, just like how a human cannot always stay happy or sad, the market cannot always keep going up or constantly go down.

That is the reason why it is called unpredictable. And of course, everyone has to suffer from losses, no trader can claim that they have never had to face a loss in cryptocurrency trading, especially if they were not experts as every expert was once a beginner.

3. Trading Bitcoin:
I included this as one investment strategy because one would have to have invested some funds in Bitcoin, before it could be used in whatever format one deems fit for the best profit taking at the time. One way besides the others aforementioned for short term gain is to be a merchant trader. However, gains or losses from trading may be affected by the market volatility.

here we can see clearly the bitcoin price has crossed the 200 ma and successfully retested and now it's up , according to technical it seems bullish and begining of bullmarket,
I am thinking to invest in bitcoin for 6month or a year, is it good price to invest ? i will make profit from this point?
or is it possible for price to go low then this?
and i DCA or just invest all at once and why?
and please suggest some potential altcoins which have possibility to outperform this bull market please share your personnel though don't just share  some random shitcoins
and what is your experience in past halving ?
is it beginning of bull market?

what is mateix?ok i know what it is, mostly i have seen the videos of how people make a video, with secrecy music tune and they will make such anxious looking moves in the video like they are saving themselves from someone and they will say, we are the ones who manages all the un-necassary things to control your life such as

1. House Schemes
2. Sports cars
3. Fashion Industry
4. Plasma TVs

ok, if they made these things which they didn't because every mentioned item has its own history. let's just say, they were created as mentioned in their respected histories and then controled by investors.

because every new technology needs investors.

so to understand how banks can manage those things?

first we need to understand how investors can control them? i think maybe because they have share in the company and the one with more share, and more money is the one with more governance and control so they can convince companies and project makers to deploy such schemes such as TVs, Sports cars races, fashion contest and housing schemes.

Ok now investors need a system to flow there money via *banks* Which means banks is the main component of all centralization, capitilism and flow of money.

Then why people like Andrew Tate are kept saying to leave the matrix and come to reality. are we really in some kind of matrix. what is the important of this matrix. like we should consider the pros and cons of each over if matrix do exists

The main question is if there is. a. matrix then why it is present? what's the real need of it. how it benefits those big investors that controls banks. Ok lets say it keep the people busy just like the "roman games" (from insta video) why people are to kept busy and why not.

i find no error in doing work because that's how we will revolutionize in technology. and can acheive more success and easiness in our world.

wait wait. Easiness like IOT has provided us as an tech ology. and collecting our data so that they can make such decisions to sell more things to us. But why? maybe to earn money. but if they have already money to invest in first hand then why not saving it for future why doing such immoral works?

so are u saying these works are immoral?

overall my question is why banks are being accused as matrix and the investors are the ones behind all this?

there are many threads and news about people losing access to their wallets and forgetting or seed phrases,
and it's better for scarcity of bitcoin,  but how can we know or speculate that the wallet is lost, and it is out of the supply? is there any platform where we can find lost wallets, if no, then it's a good idea to start a website and list every lost wallets.

I sense that very soon the pump will start to shame all those folks who feel btc is failed project. We are expecting the bullish price to pump 60k straight up even against all odds. Those who are well position for the market can see the evidence this night is already 30k plus. I can only believe that bitcoin will do better than ever, though not withstanding we should invest wisely while waiting the pump.

If my plans works out am ready to buy more and store! But what's your take on the pump? Do you see it coming or am just doing illusion?
Let's hear from you.

This is why most people fails especially on trading thinking it's just an elevator up. I'd say we can see some chops along the road to 60k, it will not be just an easy way up. I wouldn't doubt if we could see a retracement again at $28k or $25k before hitting all time highs this year or the coming years. Again, it will have some rocky roads just like what Bitcoin did in the pasts.

A bear market can be a frustrating time for bitcoin entrepreneurs mostly, but those who are able to adapt and navigate the market conditions can still be successful, meanwhile. A bear market can make it even more unpredictable, increased competition and lower profit margins for existing bitcoin entrepreneurs.
I think there're more problems facing bitcoin entrepreneur in a bear market that I don't even know about as a Newbie.

Like the title says, this year 2023, are you bullish or bearish on bitcoin and why? I would love to hear why. I personally believe this is a bear market rally or something similar.
