Re: Do Bitcoin Really Has Advantages over Fiat Currency?

While the price of Bitcoin can fluctuate dramatically, fiat currency is much more stable.
This is one of the most significant advantages of Bitcoin over fiat currencies: if you keep your fiat for an extended period of time, it will most likely lose value due to inflation, or the same amount you keep may not be enough to purchase whatever you want at the time you keep the money, whereas investing in Bitcoin will almost certainly yield a profit.

Quote
If there are other advantages Bitcoin has over Fiat Currency do well to educate us. I will gladly appreciate your contributions.
Even though the blockchain is open and visible, sending Bitcoin can be anonymous; no one will know the specific identity of the sender, whereas transferring money is not, which means Bitcoin provides security.
Sometimes I wonder about the fluctuation of Bitcoin does it not make it not predictable at any time? could there be an economic plan around it. I stand to be corrected i am just stretching my thought.

Do Bitcoin Really Has Advantages over Fiat Currency?

Do Bitcoin Really Has Advantages over Fiat Currency?

Simply put, Bitcoin is a virtual currency intended to function as money and a means of payment. It is a decentralized digital cryptocurrency that operates on a peer-to-peer network based on blockchain technology. This was addressed in his 2008 white paper by an individual or group using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin as a digital currency should provide an alternative payment system that works without central control, but can otherwise be used like traditional currencies.

Fiat Currency
A fiat currency is a currency that gains value when a government makes it legal tender and compels its use as a medium of exchange within its jurisdiction. Unlike physical-backed commodity money such as gold and silver, fiat currency has no intrinsic value. The governments of a country manage the credit supply, liquidity and interest rates more reliably and Its value is fundamentally based on people's trust in the issuing government and economic stability.

The USD, as an example, was previously backed by a specific amount of gold, and people could convert one into the other. President Richard Nixon in 1971 ended the gold standard in the United States.

Well-known examples of fiat currencies include examples of fiat currencies include the US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), Japanese Yen (JPY), British Pound (GBP), and many others.

Few Advantages to Consider
Firstly, Both can be used for payments

Bitcoin offer more security and privacy than traditional  currency transactions.

While the price of Bitcoin can fluctuate dramatically, fiat currency is much more stable.

Bitcoin can be trusted because it is tamper-proof.

A Fiat Currency can be reversed in-case of wrong happenings whereas, Bitcoin transaction cannot be reversed if any happenstance occur.

If there are other advantages Bitcoin has over Fiat Currency do well to educate us. I welcome you contributions.

Losses are inevitable but the important thing is that you do able to find ways on making yourself that able to survive despite of those losses because if you wont really be that finding yourself on such condition on which you are able to sustain and making that in depth losses then you would really be thinking or having that minding about stopping on doing trades. There would really be comes a time that you would really be having those thoughts that you should stop because its really that pointless on doing something which it would really make you lose money.
If you can make it work then you are going to be fine. People end up working on things that are a bit different, they work on things that make it a bit different in the sense that if they lose money they tend to be fearing the afterwards. Instead of fearing losing again, you should be considering the option to keep working on what you working on and then focus on being and getting better.

I believe that the best thing to do in this case is to make sure that we are doing fine and learning from our mistakes and avoiding them next time and you should be glad what you are doing instead. I believe that we can make sure that we make more profit in the future if we approach our losses a lot better on the long run.

I think i am doing better now than before in trading. When I take a look at previous mistake I made and the ignorance on my path that lead to those mistake I have to learn from it. I cannot call myself a professional now but I know I have improved. There are many good materials out there that one can get and study. Another thing is to practice untill you become better.

One of the challenges of using a Bot to trade is that it can malfunction in case of a spike or fake-out. Another thing is that when Market Dynamism changes it may not be able to detect this also depends on the program it is functioning with.

Deal with Past Traumas for Financial Stability

Are past traumas echoing into your present, hindering your decisions, happiness, and growth?

The profound impact of past traumas on personal, relational, and financial decisions is backed by research. Trauma can have a profound effect on a person's mental, emotional, and physical health. Addressing past trauma is important to promote healing and overall well-being. A study published in the Journal of Traumatic Stress (2018) showed that individuals with unresolved trauma were more likely to struggle with decision-making in these areas of life.

First of all, Relax, Relax, Relax. It is normal to feel a range of emotions in response to traumatic events so you really need to get yourself together. Try to keep your mind calm.

Connection: Connect with others who understand and appreciate your experiences, creating a supportive network. Enhance communication skills to foster healthier, more meaningful relationships.

Future Vision: Harness the power of intention to create a compelling vision for your future. Take deliberate actions to manifest the life you desire, free from the shadow of past traumas.

Inner Strength: Develop resilience and self-regulation skills. Empower yourself to navigate life's challenges with grace and fortitude, regaining control over your decisions.

Initiate a journey of healing and personal growth. Consider seeking professional help from a therapist or counselor experienced in trauma therapy.

I believe with these few points you can work on yourself to be better and overcome past trauma. Feel free also to share your experience if you have ever dealt with trauma so that we can learn.

Have you experienced such before, what is the best approach a person can take to salvage the situation?
Have a stop-loss before trading. I've experienced that a few times already where I see a token going up, I bought it not knowing that it's at it's peak already, and then all of a sudden, it went down bad, and I ended up at a loss. Of course I'm a newbie at that time, and I don't know about stop-loss.

What's the best approach? Having a stop loss would be the best option though it will not change the fact that you will still incur losses especially if you made wrong decisions. You might've made a mistake especially in your decision making, but what's important is that you learn from it, and you will not do it again next time. Whenever you make trade, always make a stop loss like a 10% stop loss if things don't go your way, or a specific price target where your position will close when it reaches that price.

Now if you're expecting that bought at the peak, and still make profits from it, then holding it for a long time is by far the best option. With this one, you become a long term holder from a short term trader. Cheesy
One disadvantage of stop loss is that there may be a fake-out in which it can go and pick your stop loss and return in your original direction of interest. Well I like the idea of 10% stop loss because it gives room for uncertainty.

Unfortunately, I am not someone who dares to return after experiencing consecutive losses because consecutive losses are enough to damage a trader's mentality, especially if the capital he uses drops very far or when he doesn't stop loss and only sees his assets continue to fall unstoppably.
When a trader loses in a streak, it is best to stop trading, take a break for a while like few weeks or several months. The breaking time is necessary to absorb the stressful mentality and to analyze what caused those bad trades.

It's impossible to revenge the market when a trader has a bad lost streak as it will cause worse trading result and all capital will be lost in the market.

Quote
I know many traders who have succeeded in coming back and being able to make a profit, but it is not easy to be able to accept defeat and if you really want to come back, it is better to start analyzing the causes of defeat and continue to improve trading skills and use only the money we can afford to lose, or start by lowering the profit target so that you only take 2-5% profit on each trade but do it regularly by first doing a good analysis.
Analyzing causes of defeat needs time and you only can analyze it well if your mentality is calm. When your minds is like "I want to revenge the market now, to cover my loss", your analysis will not be accurate and it will be affected a lot by your mentality.

Problems with traders are they want to chase very high profit and don't want to have 'small' profit like 2% or 5% but they forget a fact that a biggest success is to protect your capital, profit is less important than your initial capital. So having 2 - 5% profit and protect your capital is more than good.
I think taking a little profit and being consistent with it is the best option. When we set our attention to hitting it big we tend to make a mistake that is damaging to our trading account and that is the greed factor.

It is not going to be something you should care about, but that doesn't mean that you are not going to be able to change anything anytime soon. I believe that we are going to end up with a good change eventually, just not something too radical.
However, the trader needs patience as well. Most new traders think the movement will change their lives and want to make a profit within an hour or a day. That's why leverage tokens exist, and people use them. Of course, holding Bitcoin for a long time is a good idea than ever, But it's not really trading. Day traders like to buy instant and sell on the same day to make money.

If someone doesn't know enough about the market movement or Bitcoin or crypto, they should not buy any crypto before they understand how it works. Not even Bitcoin. Else, they will end up keeping their Bitcoin in an exchange which I don't support as well.
Trading is not like we usually think if we are patient, it goes well. That would help but it was not the only thing that matters a lot, it is also how we strategies and make effective strategies based on the marker condition. Whether we like it or not, there is no perfect trade that ever happens, sometimes we lose and sometimes we earn. But if it all goes to losing more, there is a big problem with that and must be corrected or else, we can no longer expect a profit anymore.
That is one needs to get knowledge on analyzing the market because you can only win more if you really know what to do when faced with opportunity presented by the market.

Hello Folks,

The dynamics of trading the market change after a specific period. My concern is the spike that usually occurs especially when you are in one direction and the market moves in the opposite direction. Have you experienced such before, what is the best approach a person can take to salvage the situation?
I have had a few suggestions like opt-out, some have said canter trade so you can recover. Do well also to share how one can avoid this possible scenario.

Hello Folks,

Have you ever had a series of losing trades? In the sense that you go in one direction and the market turns in the other direction. You try to quit the trade and enter again only for the market to revise in your previous position or you have had a series of losing trades that you start doubting your confidence in analyzing trade.

Can you share your experience of how you were able to put up courage and come back to trading? I will also want to inquire what action should somebody take if he/she finds himself in that position.

If you want to win crypto trades, put it in mind that the trend is your friend, don't disobey the gravity of major traders when the market is moving in a direction, you will lose everything if you repeat that patter over and over, make the trend your friend and you will have instead minor losses which is a normal thing or process km trading.

I don't have much experience about loss but there was a time I was trading and following a set up by one trader, the chart was bearish, even a common trader will know that the market was signaling downward way but all of sudden, the market pump and results in loss that gave me negative pnl, i wasn't happy throughout the day because I feel it was manipulated. However, I learn something that day about crypto trading, it's always better to be bullish all the time than bearish unless something bad is actually affecting the crypto market.
You said it is always better to be bullish that's the lesson you learned in the crypto market. I know that the crypto market has many dynamics but I have not come in terms with the point you mention Can you elaborate on this point?

Series of losing trades you say? I have many already.

I can still remember the time where I was just starting to trade. Back then, I knew it already that I will lose all of my capital when I was starting that's why I just started with 10$, and I lost all of it because of bad trades. I might lost it all, but I got some experience from it, and adjusted from it. Fast forward, I tried to return, and trade again. I got profit, and at one time, I made my initial capital 9x... until I made a trade that made me lost all of my profits. It's very frustrating knowing that you had already an opportunity to cash out all of your profits plus the initial capital, but greed ate me, and that's the result of it.

How did I came back to trading? I didn't came back after that loss of mine, and until now, I'm not trading anymore not because I don't have money, but I feel that I'm still not ready with trading yet, or I feel that trading isn't for me. Anyway, it's your decision if you really want to pursue trading, but always take note that in every loss that you experience, you will learn a lesson from it. Smiley

I do not want to quit. I want to grow in trading up to a professional level. I will get to study and analyze my strategy over again. I will also try to get more materials and sustainable video that has proper trading plans and instructions. I believe this can help the situation.

How do you deal with the situation where people who you are close to like family and friends are constantly demanding for one kind of financial assistance or the other. It is not possible to help everyone, so how do you handle it and make sure that giving and trying to help people do not turn into a problem for you. How about people who borrow money from you and never return it or even show any effort to make payment back to you, how did you go about the situation?
First Rule To Borrow: Never borrow money or resources that you are not willing to loose.
Why: If the borrower did defaulted the impact will be minimal

Second Rule: Have a helping budget for family and friends. Once you exhaust that budget you move the person's demand to the next month or season as determine.
Why: It is he who is well that can donate blood. You don't have to burn out helping others.

Third Rule: Not everybody deserve borrowing. Check for reputation Capital.

You try to quit the trade and enter again only for the market to revise in your previous position or you have had a series of losing trades that you start doubting your confidence in analyzing trade.
This has happened to me several times, I have experienced many losses in this kind of experiences, so stop for a moment. Because of course there is something wrong or lacking in the strategies and tactics that we use, especially regarding the knowledge we have in trading. In addition, stopping for a moment here is in order to give ourselves time to be better prepared first, by controlling our emotions, so that we are better prepared in all respects for trading.
Then, let's pay attention to how our trading mechanism is, do we just follow other people or do it based on our own analysis.
Analysis in trading is also not easy, let's first evaluate how the trading analysis, related to fundamental and technical analysis, is it really good or appropriate or not.
In addition, our accuracy in the moment to take a position to exit will also have an effect, especially if we start future trading (even though future trading is very high risk and better avoided for beginners).
Loss management is very important especially to control our losses, we also need to see our loss portfolio so we can understand what coins or where we usually experience losses.
Later we will get used to it and will improve our trading strategy based on personal experience. Btw, use small funds while still learning to trade.
#however trading is a risky activity, make sure you understand the risks and are ready for it. If you are not ready to trade, it is better to avoid it and switch to holding (either short term or long term).
Taking time off the market is a good option. It helps to relax the mind and make rising emotions normalize. We all need good emotional balance to trade. Good emotional balance for me equals good psychology.

Hello Folks,

Have you ever had a series of losing trades? In the sense that you go in one direction and the market turns in the other direction. You try to quit the trade and enter again only for the market to revise in your previous position or you have had a series of losing trades that you start doubting your confidence in analyzing trade.

Can you share your experience of how you were able to put up courage and come back to trading? I will also want to inquire what action should somebody take if he/she finds himself in that position.
Almost every trader faced this problem for at least single time when they are losing trades In a series. So I am not also out of them. Even I still now face this problem when market behavior isn't predictable. In that time I try to focus mainly to minimize my loses because if I have funds I can recover it when market is predicable.

Some of my own experiences when I feel this situation about how to overcome:

1. Take a Break and never go for revenge trading: it's important to take a little break from the market to avoid emotional trading or to have a predicable market condition. Sometimes market seems too much volatile and totally unpredictable. That's why we face several losing of trades. So we should wait for the suitable time to start again.

2. Learn from your mistakes: When you face this crucial time you have to gather some experiences and learn from own mistakes. You should change your investment startegy because everytime "Buy Low, Sell High" will not work properly in short term.

3. Choose best trading pairs: Sometimes our targeted trading pairs may not be suitable for us. So we can go for most potential coins or tokens. We should avoid highly manipulated Cryptocurrencies and should trade with top ranked Cryptocurrencies.

4. Set Stop Loss and Take Profit: Soemtimes we can't control our greed and wait for more profit. So we should have a target when we want to grab our profits and when we want to minimize our loses by adding stop loss. Because minimizing loses is one the most appreciated job in trading.

5. Build your confidence and don't be depressed: Several losing may cause you depressed. So that time it's hard to take a proper decision. So we have to build our confidence and trust on our analysis. So be prepared for a solid analysis to enter the market again without any emotional decisions.

One of the outstanding points for me is to take a break and avoid revenge trading. Revenge trading calls for a whole lot of emotions it would be as if you want to reclaim everything back immediately only for you to enter into the market and make further errors.
At least we should stay calm and always trade from the position of rest.

i read some of these kids tried to injure themselves by inflicting broken leg to escape conscription. going that length so they could stay alive seems a smarter thing to do than going to the frontline.

going back to the peace talk table is more strategic for them. Spokesperson Matthew Miller says it all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3dokh57y2M

Going back to peace talk after the atrocities in Bucha,Irpin and Kharkiv?That is absolutely out of question,Ukraine would rather burn down every man and that would be the correct choice,when some invader invades you,you have to defend your country and it is not only in Ukraine,almost everywhere is a fight for the motherland,or fatherland depending on how you call it.

These news are lame attempts to bash on the Ukrainian army however it won't work,Ukrainians are showing us that they are extremely united and even the worse forms of terrorism which Russia has been using systemically there won't work,Ukraine will win no matter what as they are in their right,in their independent territories which they will liberate.

what do you mean they are at war both of them are defending their own. Ukraine just planned a counter offensive but failed.

you know that if russia loses, the country will cease to exist too right?  haven't you heard of yugoslavia that was already gone?



Either way it is going to cease to exist by judging the events happening there.They are not both at war,Ukraine was an independent country that was attacked out of nowhere,how can you call this normal thing to do?They are not winning anything,they are losing every day,their economy is on their knees, 1 RUB equals  to 0.01 Euro cent the lowest in many months and it is normal when you are wagering war so they have nothing to be proud from what they are doing and have done,they only kill innocent civilians the most as the atrocities in Bucha,Irpin and Kharkiv reminds all of us.

As for former Yugoslavia,I don't know the story well but from what I recall many countries in that confederation wanted independence which they got in the early 1990-s,so nothing wrong with countries wanting their own independence from a certain confederation.

you need to watch the news on both sides.
they are both at war and zelensky even dragging their war to the brink of ww3 by joining NATO. that's not normal. in fact, NATO refused him.
what's not normal to drag kids out of their houses and bring those kids to the front line and be dead. 

ukr is not independent. they were about to decide to negotiate peace talks but zelensky because ukr is not independent obeys his master to stop the negotiation. he can't decide on his own. there wouldn't be more deaths if it were stopped already.  he chooses freefall.


I am finding extreme difficulties in following your logic.Ukraine gained independence on 1991 if I am not mistaken on promises to destroy all nuclear armament which they did to honor the deal brokered exactly by Russia,Boris Yeltsin back then.Since then Ukraine is a free country and is free to join NATO or do whatever they like in their territory without asking permission from anyone be that a neighbor like Russia who demanded that they stay out of joining NATO.

Russia wagered a war to annex parts of Ukraine and this is starting a war,Ukraine was at peace,it is the aggressor in this case Russia who put them to war and I agree with Zelenksy,no one tells me what to do in my own home.

I don't accept the saying by Zelenksy that "No one tells me what to do in my own home". Iran is sanctioned by another trying to use Uranium from their soil. African countries face high sabotage from their colonial master with much detection on how they will run their countries. I will not forget the Libya story. I believe the west coveted started this war

I agree with you that crypto systems have such good security that they are almost unhackable. The main enemy of crypto is phishing and malicious malware that will let someone know your keys. And when the key is known, all assets will be lost, without notification that your assets have been sent to someone else's wallet

Whereas usually things like this can still happen to both beginners and those who already have experience. We must always keep a copy of the key and don't get into phishing sites so that the assets we have are safe. Crypto is a digital technology and in the digital world nothing is 100% secure. When hackers cannot attack crypto networks, they will attack asset owners to find out their wallet keys.

If you want to hold bitcoins for a long time, I suggest you buy a hardware wallet, and never keep bitcoins for a long time on a centralized exchange.

Can you suggest a suitable Hardware Wallet that one can purchase?

Thanks

Op when I first came to the forum I was well instructed not to use capitalization on the topic because it will not attract the readers of the thread. And we all know that you are trying to attract people with the use of capital letters. Even though nyou did not use capital letters definitely users will see your thread and make comments so there is no need for that. But you can capitalize each first letter of the topic and not all the words.

Op you tried for the finding. Blockchain technology specifically cryptocurrency blockchain is not easy to hack because of it decentralized security.

Well Noted, I will reduce the use of block letters.
