1481  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My Past three months bitcoin journey on: October 09, 2021, 06:37:08 AM
Regarding setting personal goals regarding how much BTC to accumulate or how much dollar value that might be worth, there are a variety of ways to set such goals, and I frequently suggest to set those goals to be relatively modest (and reachable), and sure you could establish a tier of goals, so that once one goal is accomplished then you shoot for the next level higher up the tier... and with the passage of time you can measure your progress.. and even within the goal setting, it is going to be good NOT to put unrealistically high expectations on yourself or your BTC's performance, and to realize that in normie land it can take 30-40 years for people to get to decent financial security - and sometimes even a decent number of those people who are prudent and work hard towards building financial security do not end up being successful (at least not in a kind of getting to fuck you status that allows them to really live financially independent).. so if you actually can get anywhere close to reaching fairly high goals that you have over 15-20 years, then you would have been successful in cutting in half the timeframe that it frequently might take normies to reach such goals. 

For sure, BTC seems to be a great vehicle for such.. even if it is NOT all of your investment vehicles....or maybe in the beginning BTC would be all of your investments, but as you increase your values, then you might choose to spread out some of your investments into properties or some other reasonable other investments so that all your value is not in one thing.. perspectives are going to vary regarding various reasonable and prudent measures to take in a variety of possible diversification and balancing directions (thinking both psychological and financial measures).

When I first got into it, and even by the time I actually got around to deciding how much I should aim, 1 Bitcoin was actually a realistic target for me. I cannot exactly remember the price but it was not yet even $3000 as I can recall. Which is a big amount for me, but something I believed I could accumulate in 2 years or so with normal forced savings (using it to DCA).

The "problem" with Bitcoin was it got much higher after that:) And the "funny" thing is that most of my DCA buys are heavily above the 10000 price range,,, which would have quadrupled my original 2 years estimate for 1 BTC. It was difficult for me to adjust goals but still I maintained my 1 BTC, keeping the milestones to targets on the way to 1 BTC. Signature campaigns have really helped (they reduce the need to buy), and unrelated winnings in Bitcoin gambling also, so it has cut short my estimate and I believe I can get my target by the next halving.

Balancing is definitely important,,, and constant fine tuning, and ensuring your personal situation does not suffer as a result. People forget to take care of the mind's situation also when it comes to money. You cannot eat ramen for 6 months to buy more BTC, for example.

Next Sunday will be very interesting, odds are backing Italy and France, we will see if this will be the case.

Sorry if I misunderstood then,,, maybe shameful for us is a bit different thing. If you are a Spurs fan like me then you forget to be ashamed and instead start feeling sorry to everyone and embarassed for playing the way we play Smiley

Italy and France,,, nice parlay it would seem in the opposite direction? Smiley
1483  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can BTC hit 70k$ this Christmas? on: October 08, 2021, 05:57:43 PM
I do not think this is the real target though,,, 83 that a lot of people are talking about and of course 100000 as many said earlier in the year,,, this is the ultimate Christmas deal.
seems very much optimistic at the end of this year. well, at Christmas, the price of bitcoin last year tended to rise, although not so high. however, this time was different. some predictions suggest that it could cost more than that, and be close to $100k. however, we do not know whether the prediction is correct or not. but if the bull market comes, I think before Christmas, bitcoin prices will be above $70k, or even $80k.

Yes,,, basically you are repeating what I just said. And of course nobody knows about predictions, that is exactly why they are called predictions and not guarantees Wink

We have been in a bull market for the whole of 2021 by the way,,, did you not realize we made a new ATH and are less than 10,000 away from it?

Some of you guys have a big sense of humor!

Must be fake. Pancakeswap for CAKE even on Auto which is the highest farm is only about 70% now (down from 100%++ when it first started).

Check for the green tick sign next to it so you know it is a verified pool,,, but this means you trust Pancakeswap to give the verified one of course!
1485  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Most Bullish Altcoin of the moment on: October 08, 2021, 04:01:26 PM
Personally I see developers burning the supply of their coins as something bad, and the reason for this is that this means there was a mistake on their end about the supply size, after all why burn it if you think the supply is fine? In the case of bitcoin there is no official burning mechanism and the supply will never go above the limits established by satoshi, so you can see that everything was perfectly planned from the beginning, and for the coins doing it this does not seem to be the case.

It has nothing to do with correcting mistakes,,, it is all to do with supposed decrease of supply, making it deflationary and "more scarce". Most of the times it does not work at all and is stupid like BNB burning.

But ETH burning (of fees) I think would eventually give a nice effect.

Bitcoin burning happens also,,, but by users and not as part of code mechanism (people sending to burn address on purpose).
1486  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Really small cap (less than 10M usd) altcoin faucets on: October 08, 2021, 03:21:20 PM
Both are just a waste of time, Faucet and Low cap coins. Usually low cap coin doesn't really do well in the market and the faucets, we all know that it didn't worth our time. There's a lot of things that you can do to earn good money. One of the things some people do here in the forum is participating to airdrop, bounties and contests I think they are much better option than faucets.

In case anybody wonders if this is true,,, there was a huge lowcap plus faucet site called POScoin or POSwallet. Hundreds of PoS coins you could claim daily,,, and even leave in wallet to stake without having your own wallets open.

I made over 1000% on all my original coins but guess what? Price went down below 95% for majority and even worse for more.

End story I wasted loads of time and electricity I guess,,, for no income.

Faucet to play = nice. Faucet to make money = false.

Clubhouse is dead! Long live,,, Gistcoin?

Is this a coin based in Africa or is it just that the community is mainly from Africa? Just out of curiosity because I have worked in similar communities with mainly communities in Africa (Nigeria) and supposed base in the USA.

The founders crapped out,,, leaving everyone with worthless tokens. If the team was based in Africa also this would mean a much more assurance.

Either side would have deserved to win but we thank them for giving us a match to watch rather than a draw to forget.

Yes, we can say that VAR intervened in the game, but the fact is that France managed to pull herself together and show a champion character. Belgium, after winning the first half, probably decided that victory was already guaranteed for them, but as it turned out, France had a different opinion. In any case, we watched a beautiful match with a lot of goals. Congratulations to France on the victory and reaching the final!

Yes,,, I was not saying anything bad about France's character at all. For sure when you win a match, everything you did as a mistake can be forgiven after all,,, all football teams have weaknesses and the point is to use your strengths to overcome and negate those weaknesses.

France skill versus Spanish revival it is!

The OP is talking about making others bet for him with his information and money (or probably your money as well) and is subject to match fixing - in which already a redflag not only on his behalf but also on the company/business he claims to be part of. I see that you only scheme the main topic without further looking forward on what the discussion is all about. But for now, the OP isn't really replying on the accusations thrown to his claims and is already a solid description of a scam.

What can you expect from most of the posers in Gambling section? Even in gambling discussion most people are just repeating stuff they read without actually placing any real bets on their own.

Friendly reminder to just report spam if you see and keep topic on board.

And remind everyone matchfixing (true or false) is also a crime and should also be banned in this forum I would say.

Cool, I reckon a kit man definitely has some juicy stories to tell Cheesy
I’ll definitely be tuning in to listen, he probably has some NSFW tales to tell from his years in the industry.

This is going to be so cool! I never knew anything much about any club's kitman not even my own. Remember last year or the year before Arsenal had to let go of their mascot and someone of the players stepped in to pay for his salary? These guys are big parts of club history especially some like Mark Forbes who I found out now worked for Southampton like for 12 years!
1492  Economy / Economics / Re: Is budgeting still effective in tackling the need to constantly withdraw money? on: October 08, 2021, 09:58:30 AM
I still work on a budget, and try to restrict myself from withdrawing and spending for unnecessary things in my life. It’s hard at first, but it’s worth trying especially if you’re just living alone like me. Though things will change once you have a family that you’re raising. Budgeting will then, be hard and there will surely be times when you need to swipe and withdraw some cash. You can’t really say no to that, as that’s the needs of your family. Hence why the family dynamics nowadays is different compared to the last few decades, as both parents need to work in order to serve some food on the plate.

I might also add that budgeting on its own is a very useful life skill,,, something they should teach you in school or at home. Most times I look back at my fellow housemates and workmates after uni and going to work living independently for the first time. Most did not know budgeting and just randomly figured stuff out and so ended up in debt every month before salary. Salary comes in and immediately huge chunk cut off for credit card.

This is not just good for Bitcoin holding,,, good for getting by in life financially.
1493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: October 08, 2021, 09:22:05 AM
I usually don't like quick changes in management but I respect what Watford did here. Something is clearly not working so a decisive move this early was needed to change the team's direction. Ranieri loves to be the underdog doesn't he? I think this is a perfect fit and top 10 is achievable.

Then you surely do not remember what happened 2 seasons ago when Watford were in the premier league, and their boss practically made their end of season such a magical run including a big win against Manchester United (3-0) and Liverpool (3-0). But with just a few games left to end the season they fired him and they got relegated.

Watford have never been smart about that but okay,,, Ranieri is a different issue now.
1494  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: October 08, 2021, 09:01:45 AM
Don't get your hopes up on Roma because maybe you'll regret it when they don't win the title this season. This is the Special One's first season at Roma and we shouldn't put too much pressure on him to do it in one season as the club management has to do with him. It would be great if they could, but probably not because they didn't have enough strength to do so. Just look at Napoli, they will maintain a consistent victory and try to win the title this season.

Juventus vs Roma, this will be a very difficult match for both team. Juventus are having problems with their form after Ronaldo left at the start of the season and are trying to fix things well so far. Juventus will be ahead at home, I have to see it win at home on 18 october.

I have to agree,,, their wonderful start to the season is nice to have and it is so good to see Mourinho back to his best and strangely no longer the old type of defensive mind he used to have BUT this is great form that should not last for too long past midseason.

Jose will get crazy again it is just a matter of time.

Champions League reentry would be great for them.

Impressive game. Unfortunately, i have to put up with any result. Today I was rooting for Belgium and it was one step away from victory, but France made a comeback plus won in the last minutes, a super offensive result. After such a match, it seems to me that France will be super strong, above all morally, and in the upcoming final it will be the clear favorite.
Belgium went from leading by 2 goals to a shamefull defeat by 2-3 goals which is due to several factors.. the awakening of the French team in the second half, weak and slow defense and some tactical mistakes also... After all it is a well merited win for France.

I really do not think we can say Belgium had a shameful defeat! They even had a goal ruled out because of VAR intervention, so they tried. France is a former and looking like a future world champion. No shame to lose to them and scoring 2 goals in return Smiley

Either side would have deserved to win but we thank them for giving us a match to watch rather than a draw to forget.

More than 2 months to Christmas and Bitcoin did over 17% gains in just less than a week. So,,, if it can pull off 2 more 15% runs from this price then we more than hit 70k.

I do not think this is the real target though,,, 83 that a lot of people are talking about and of course 100000 as many said earlier in the year,,, this is the ultimate Christmas deal.

As mentioned above,,, I also saw many Yobit traders (I stopped using the site a long time ago) complaining on the trollbox they lost money not just on the "dice" game with huge edge but on the investbox and ICO options which of course we all know were ponzi schemes,,, but of course people who got greedy pretended they did not know the risks.

Trading is not gambling,,, but many traders gamble.
1498  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My Past three months bitcoin journey on: October 08, 2021, 05:36:33 AM
Three years of $100 per week would currently put you at about 1.71 BTC of accumulation.

I understand that guys are going to have differing goals regarding how much BTC that they believe that they need to accumulate in order to comfortable in terms of their own finances, and if we are considering bitcoin to potentially serve as a long term investment that is going to potentially supplement your retirement or even allow you to improve your living conditions prior to retirement, then it could take a couple of BTC cycles to really get to accumulation amounts that are adequately and sufficiently comfortable.

52 x 3 x100 = $15600, a huge sum of money, but for me it was more like $100 a month in total, which is still a very big amount of money to put aside (where I am, so I'm quite proud considering that in the years before Bitcoin I actually saved maybe even only 20% of that).

Very good calculations because that is very close to what BTC I managed to accumulate,,, I still have more than Imagined ever if I saved as before. I suppose I do need a second cycle of Bitcoin winter.

1 BTC was always my goal, and it kept getting more difficult but no complaints  Smiley

Both games were very low points.
