Digitalization has taken over the world people make more money online now and content creating is among the most lucrative work now, the starting is always difficult but ones you have gotten enough views and likes you start earning money online this is one of best and smart way people are making now especially in my country everybody want to go into content creating because of how lucrative it is am even planning on how to start creating my own content because that is where almost everybody is focusing there energy and its really paying off.

Creating content is not just a trendy topic, but it is the shift of the economy towards digitalisation. I've seen a video on YouTube that showed the creators have generated over $250 billion last year, so there is no doubt that this year it will surpass $300 billion, which would make it a dominant force in the advertising and media industry.


In the US alone, the creators who worked full time grew from 200,00 to 1.5 million in just 4 years  Smiley

This model not only benefits the creators but also helps other small businesses through marketing, and helps independent storytellers to come out without depending on traditional studios, creating millions of jobs. Yes, there is tough competition and people get fatigued, but also this work pulls big money, innovation, hence creating economic impact. For sure, it is game-changer that will be long-lasting.

India is going to face a big problem. The chances of India losing the match are gradually increasing. In the first innings, the Indian batsmen failed to bat as expected. And now the performance of the Indian bowlers is very bad. The Indian bowlers are not able to take any wickets.

England's collection of 458 100 runs has been confirmed by the England team after losing 4 wickets and has lost only 4 wickets. Joe Root is unbeaten on 132 runs and Stoker is 46 runs. England will collect more than 600 in their first innings. After that, the team will probably declare the innings.

We expected better bowling from Bhumrah and Siraj. The two most experienced bowlers in the Indian squad. Both of them have bowled 22 overs but have not been able to take a single wicket yet.

Re: Is Buying Shares of a BTC ETF a good way to invest in Bitcoin?
by

on 25/07/2025, 05:26:59 UTC
If your sole goal in investing in bitcoin is profit, you don't care about decentralization and privacy. There is nothing wrong with investing in bitcoin through an ETF and there is nothing to worry about as some people say. So far, hundreds of billions of dollars have been invested in bitcoin through ETFs, and I believe that people who spend millions and billions of dollars to invest are not stupid and do not know what they are doing. Therefore, you can rest assured when investing through ETFs.
But if you are concerned about privacy and want to have full control over your assets. Investing through ETFs is no longer right for you.


I think investing in bitcoin by holding it yourself through a non-custodial wallet or through an ETF depends on each person's preferences and goals. Both are good and we just need to choose the solution that suits us.

Re: Should I depend solely on Bitcoin?

on 25/07/2025, 04:48:08 UTC

That applies if you have enough money to invest, but if you're aiming for higher returns, then high-risk investments are the way to go. Some investors still choose to diversify, but they do it within the market itself , for example, they might put 50% of their portfolio in bitcoin (less risky asset), and then spread the rest across different altcoins (high-risk assets).

I don't know what to call a 50% allocation to bitcoin and 50% to altcoins, but I don't think it's diversification. As I understand it, the main goal of diversification is to reduce risk but allocating all capital to crypto doesn't seem to help us reduce risk. Because the whole market is completely dependent on bitcoin, so how can investing in altcoins be called diversification?

Diversification is only true when we invest in unrelated assets/investments like stocks, cryptocurrencies, gold, real estate...

Reading the news  of the alleged transfer of $50 millions worth of XRP by the ower signaling a take profits actions as the coin touched5it all time high recently, his actions point to lack of confidence and deliberately interference with the market movement of the coin, this another example of centralized coins and how the owners can interfer as the which.
Nothing wrong with that at all as investors taking profit is part of the game. Even in Bitcoin, many sell during the bull run and wait to buy back in the bear market. It’s not just normal,  it’s actually the smart move for some. Not everyone is a HODLer, but at the end of the day, we’re all in it for the profit.

Such can never happen with bitcoin, since bitcoin creation, and the multiple all time high, Satoshi wallet have remained untouched and a deliberately liquidity provided by the bitcoin creator, being decentralised and with zero owner interference, if wyou want to hold any coin, just hold bitcoin.
We can’t really use Satoshi as an example since we don’t even know if he’s still alive or not, and his coins haven’t moved at all. But there are definitely a lot of people who continue to HODL Bitcoin. Even some institutional investors are likely doing the same.

Yes, this is financial market and we are all here to make profit, so taking profit is never wrong and that is happening with bitcoin too. We all know the news about an early investor (from 2011) waking up and selling 80,000 BTC, worth over $9 billion this month, and what guarantee is there that the seller is definitely not Satoshi? Does anyone have proof that Satoshi only owns 1 wallet, and he/she doesn't own any other wallets?


Bitcoin will always be number 1 and no one denies that because it is obvious, we don't need to give unnecessary examples to prove what no one disputes.

Re: "Is Bitcoin the ultimate savings tool?"

Bitcoin is not just a speculative asset. It is most often a digital savings account. You know Bitcoin has a maximum supply of 21 million coins, which means you could not print it unlimited. So the actual power of BTC is financial control and inclusion. You could build savings in BTC and send remittances abroad at a fraction of traditional fees, crypto remittance wage often drop below 5%, in contrast to 6-9% for banks. And its longterm bitcoin holding has often paid off. you know Bitcoin averaged all over 49% annual returns over the last decade, outperforming customary assets like stocks and gold. Steady accumulation over 5-10 years could be both a practical savings strategy and a path to growth.

Re: Everyone talks about "utility" in crypto…

on 24/07/2025, 08:35:04 UTC

To me, bitcoin is the only project with real utility and application. The rest of the market is only suitable for speculation and gambling no matter how they try to dress it up and make it look more appealing.

I am not denying the potential or underestimating the crypto industry in general but in my opinion, we are still in the early stages, like the "dotcom" era. Most of them are just speculative and overhyped, with no real value or practical application. We need more time before talking about the practical utility and applications that cryptocurrencies bring.



what's your own standard way of judging project utility ?

For altcoins, you should only invest the amount you can afford to lose. That's enough, you don't need to spend too much time researching and learning about them because even the topcoins are not guaranteed, so new projects are not worth mentioning.

I personally feel that this is being brought up more and more to create FUD and panic. It may be true that quantum computers are indeed that sophisticated but until there is evidence that can actually be concrete why believe in something that is not even certain.
Breaking the bitcoin key is not as easy as imagined and they try to claim that it is very easy to do without providing real evidence and exaggerating it from now on is it not a ridiculous thing.


That's what I mean, there is no evidence or real threat from QC to bitcoin, so far. It's all speculation, theory and as we all know, reality and theory have a huge difference and gap. So, as long as there is no real concrete evidence, we need not worry about the threats that come from such empty theories.

We all know that bitcoin was once hated by the whole world like government, banks, traditional investors...they all don't want bitcoin to exist and want it to die. If QC can threaten bitcoin, why don't they pour money into developing it and use it to destroy bitcoin?  Obviously, they are not sure about that either, it is just a theory, nothing more. So we don't need to worry about unreal and exaggerated things.

Re: 21 million BTC, is it enough?
by

[...]
You are absolutely right that Bitcoin total supply is key but it is not only thing that sets its price. If its supply were suddenly much bigger its value would drop significantly from today levels which are based on its fixed 21 million coin limit.

Predicting Bitcoin future price just by looking at its supply is wrong because other major factors like how much people want it. Its usefulness and how many people use network and its security and also government rules new technology, wider economic conditions, and even scheduled halving events  all play big role in shaping its constantly changing value.

If only supply matters so their are many coins and tokens which have less supply as compare to Bitcoin supply but they are still low in price.

I also agree, if the supply of bitcoin was larger, the value of bitcoin would probably be significantly smaller, but the thing to keep in mind is that the price of each bitcoin could be lower but the capitalization could be the same as it is now.

The price of an asset is determined by its use case, utility, demand…combined with supply, and Bitcoin is no exception. Therefore, if we want to price an asset, we need to combine those factors together, we cannot price them based on only one supply factor and ignore the remaining factors.


Many centralized coins have limited supply but cannot be as valuable as bitcoin because they lack utility and real use cases. Or gold has a very large supply but in return it has too many use cases and practical applications...so its value remains high and increases over time.

Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

There are no money in serie A.
So if the owned dont' decide to put like 100-200 m € in the club, you need to sell what you don't want.
And you need to buy what the others do not want.

I can't see any team in Italy paying 70m for a player in these times.

Premier League clubs are spending big. Arsenal, City, Chelsea and Liverpool are all set to spend over €200m in the transfer market. But Serie A clubs are lagging far behind. Juventus, Milan and Napoli are perhaps the biggest spenders.

Napoli spent around €75m on Beukema, Noa lang, Marianucci and Lucca.
Inter Milan spent around €66m on Henrique, Bonny, Sucic and Zalewaski.
Juventus management spent around €90m on Concacao, Gonzalez, Kalulu and Gregorio.
No team has reached the €100m mark. Have Serie A clubs suddenly become poor? Or are the owners no longer interested in spending more money on running their clubs?

England are doing pretty well so far. Woakes, Stokes, and Dawson have each picked up a wicket and slowed India down. This is not an easy pitch like the first 2 tests, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal batted well. It’s a bit frustrating for India as both set batters got out after getting good starts. In a must-win game, you can’t afford to throw away wickets like that. Losing Jaiswal and Rahul early is a big setback, especially when they were looking comfortable. India needs someone to step up now and build a big partnership to stay in the game.

India must win this match  if they don't want to lose the series. And they must score big on this pitch. India must score at least 450+. Even if they can score 450+, it is difficult to say whether India can take the lead. I have seen teams score high many times on this Manchester pitch.

India lost KL Rahul's wicket for 94 runs. And the team lost their third wicket for 140 runs. At the moment, India's total is 190 runs. There are two experienced batsmen like Sai Sudarsan and Rishab Pant at the crease.

Sai Sudarsan is unbeaten on 40 runs. Sai Sudarsan has made it to the squad today in place of Karun Nair. And is batting quite responsibly. If he can bat decently today, Sai SUdarsan will be in the squad in the last match as well.

Re: Can Bitcoin kill other crypto?

Altcoins should be for people who are trading, be it a swing trade or whatever they prefer
Altcoins are known to usually be preferred by those who want quick profits. They are not very known for long term holding because they usually end up dumping after only a few months and they never get another ath. Only very few altcoins remain relevant today like ethereum. But it is also not reaching new aths from what I know.

Those who invested in ETH in 2015 when ETH was under $1, or those who invested in XRP at under $0.005, or those who bought BNB or Sol at under $0.1...Although their profits are not as large as those of early bitcoin investors, they can still make millions, even billions of dollars. And in previous bull cycles, most have delivered enviable returns. So is it correct to say that altcoins are not worth investing in long term?

In the current cycle, although ETH and many altcoins are underperforming bitcoin, the cycle is not over yet, so it is still too early to confirm anything. ETH has yet to break ATH but is already at least 3x higher than its lowest since the 2022 bear season. Meanwhile, if I remember correctly, Solana also went from $8 to $290 in 2024 before dropping back to $200 where it is now.
If we are fair and unbiased, is investing in altcoins as bad as many people say?

This cycle is not over yet and I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the ETH cycle outperforms bitcoin and altcoin season comes. At that point, not only will they break ATHs, but the prices of many altcoins could increase x10, x20, or even x100.

We are in the financial market and we should seize the opportunity if there is one, we should not be stubborn and conservative to miss out on great opportunities.

Re: How do you see slots game?

A usual experience indeed. I also experienced that whooping x1000 drop on Sweet Bonanza 1000, not just once, not just twice, but 3 times already. The winning pattern only cost a few bucks but since there's a x1000, the reward became great. And it happened 2 more times later on with a much higher bet.

The feeling is damn so happy, and that's when I started to become hooked on that game. Several game sessions have passed, and still getting a good win on that game even without huge multipliers. Until I slowly realized that my luck there was fading, but still, I decided to see my luck rate.

The end result is.... You know it already. Cheesy

Those 1000x extraordinary hits on Sweet Bonanza just illuminate your brain, but you know those designs, bells, lights, and intermittent giant wins on the slot machine will never ever let you relax. As you mentioned, "the end result" is pulling you in deeper even as luck turns pale. Until you limit your sessions and count your winning as banked profit, there is no need to be tense. Otherwise, that zone effect could leave you chasing the high long after it's gone. I always set my daily loss cap, if my balance hits the loss cap, I pause immediately, it really helps me to keep both money and fun alive. Actually, I can't deny it is really hard to pause immediately every time, so I diversify my leisure with many things, not only gambling, I just switch to another one.

Re: How is wealth distributed through Gambling

on 21/07/2025, 13:23:50 UTC
The poor gamble to improve their financial situation but they often lose their wealth and the casino developers get the profit and the government has to pay a certain amount of tax this is only a part of the money most of the money casino developers get. However, the number of gamblers can be more or less depending on the country and place and the government gets very little tax from the casinos. Because most casino companies pay less tax than the government due by manipulating.

Most of the taxes of a government come from ordinary consumers the amount of tax received from casinos is very small. To keep a country's economy running, there is a balance between the exchange of money such as going from the rich to the poor and from the poor to the rich and this is important for a state system.

Casinos do not every time send back consequential tax revenue to the public. In numerous cases, gambling taxes are extremely regressive, with a substantial clash on low-income gamblers who spend a immense part of their stash on gambling. meantime, casino clubs occasionally apply tax optimization strategies or lobby for lower charge, which helps along reduce public take. Even where revenue is raised, it often supplements rather than grow major public services. If you are concerned, you may notice that casino revenue many times fails to offset budget cuts or relevant structural upgrade over time. So yes, even when govt stimulate gambling revenues as a public welfare, the authentic redistribution to the poor is inferior, so making the "rich get richer" toy much more practical.

Re: How quickly do you forget a loss
by

on 21/07/2025, 11:30:26 UTC
It depends on the type of loss. I would forget very easily a loss where I have deposited 25 dollars and I did like 5 super bonus buys of 5 dollars each, this is achievable with IDR as currency to buy the super bonus with 5 dollars in most Pragmatic games and lost all of such buys. What I won't forget easily is again a deposit of 25 dollars and start with bonus buys again but this time I go up to 800 dollars and because of the greed I lose everything. This is something very hard to forget as I had all the options to get a withdraw and get away, even enjoy some of that money. These type of lost sessions are very difficult to forget as you completely mess up yourself and this is very difficult to get past, you keep saying to yourself, I have to stop and you can't.

To me, this seems like a fundamental bias in gambling psychology, loss aversion, and the sunk-cost fallacy. I am talking about losses, basically big losses, that hurt more than wins feel charming, You know, it just creates something like emotional pain when you blow a full 800 dollars instead of walking away. The more money you stake it will become harder to stop, and finally leave you with a 'gotta get it back' mentality. Yes, you could avoid this just have to strict on your rules, We have to consider each session as its own budget. Even if you lose it is just entertainment costs, if you consider it as failed comebacks, no one could help.

Re: Will E-shopping sites ever accept bitcoin?

I guess it won't happen, at least not for now. Bitcoins being treated as commodity by majority of asian countries. Even some countries restricted Bitcoin to be used for the daily transaction.

In this case, It sounds impossible for that ecommerce to accept Bitcoin as a payment method. It's following regulators, which saw Bitcoin not as a legal tender.

Like Europe and Africa, not all Asian countries consider bitcoin a commodity and do not use it as an alternative payment method. There are countries that almost completely ban bitcoin, but there are also countries that allow businesses and individuals to use bitcoin as a payment method.

Such as South Korea, Thailand, Japan, Philippines, Hong Kong and finally Singapore. While they do not recognize bitcoin as legal tender like El Salvador, they still allow people to use bitcoin as a method of payment in commerce. But not all businesses in those countries have adopted bitcoin, and that's a business decision, not a legal barrier.

And again why is no one actually talking about the bear market that will supposedly come after this bull season because as the statistical records shows, there is always a bull season after the four year complete circle and also a bear market that comes after it but although their is no certainty that the circle will continue but it's really absurd seeing everyone totally tied to the bull market run.

Most believe that history will repeat itself and the market cycle will continue until the end of the year. Meanwhile, we still have nearly 4 months left until the end of the year, so it's understandable why no one is talking about bear season yet. Or some people think this is a super cycle and will last longer than expected because there are big changes in the market with the participation of ETFs and governments.

But like any other financial market, sooner or later a bear market must come. Those who are always immersed and intoxicated in victory, and subjectivity will have to pay the price.

For the past 2 or maybe 3 bitcoin tops, the best indicator was the #1 Coinbase app listing on the Apple app store. It was either #1 overall or #1 in the Finance section. You could see the chart and it basically had a huge jump and Bitcoin topped either the month before or after. IF you search Google for this topic you can see a few people who did research on the trend. It was actually pretty accurate.

Can't think of any other method. There are ways where you can see exchanges having backlogs which can hint that retail is joining and they are short of staff to approve the accounts, that was perhaps another indicator. However there is nothing public which can really pin point this data you are looking for.

It is not only the Google trends for searches on these apps, the Google trends on the words bitcoin, crypto, cryptocoin, cryptocurrency and other words that are related and connected to the crypospace appear to have been good for monitoring retail participation in the past.



In addition to the above two signs, the sudden increase in the number of new users on trading platforms as well as the spike in trading volume in the market, especially on CEX, is also another sign. Or the unusual growth of lowcap memes or altcoins as newbies are often attracted to low cap coins with the expectation of making quick profits. Or the growth of small wallets and on-chain activity also increases significantly...in general, it needs to be combined with many factors and it will take a lot of time.

There are many websites or tools that provide this in-depth market data today, such as glassnode, nansen, messari pro, cryptoQuant or lunarCrush...but most of them are not free.

Another important thing to consider doing is to increase your income; after all when prices go up and you have to spend more money, you have to own more money to be able to do it. And the only way you can have more money is to earn more of it (increased income). Otherwise investment is there to protect your net worth not make you more money.

Additional income can mean different things for different people. It could be a second job for employees with a fixed paycheck or it could be expanding your business if you are self employed.
That secondary job doesn't need to be something fancy, it can be something simple as trading cryptos if you know how to do it (keep in mind that trading crypto is different from investing in it).

Most people only talk about investing in assets like bitcoin, gold or stocks and consider it the best way to deal with currency devaluation and make them rich. That is not wrong but in my opinion it is not enough, because where will we get money to invest if our income is only enough to cover daily living expenses?

Therefore, increasing income and reducing expenses, avoiding waste should be the first priority, because we cannot invest in bitcoin without money. Or how can we become rich by investing just a small amount of money in bitcoin?

In short, BTC can be said to challenge the global monetary system.

Bitcoin was not created to confront or challenge the monetary system, it was created to be an alternative, but that goal has also failed as it is only used as a speculative asset these days.


Bitcoin is a speculative asset like stocks, or some people use it as a store of value like gold, so how can it challenge the global monetary system? Bitcoin will not change or affect the current monetary system, nor will the fiat currency system face any problems just because of the existence of bitcoin. 

People turn to bitcoin simply because it is a potential asset and has the opportunity to bring higher returns than traditional investment assets such as stocks, gold, real estate.
