Re: What's your advice to newbies who wants to trade.

WhoYouCantKill
on 25/07/2025, 22:02:04 UTC
As the topic says, newbies are always rushing into the cryptospace believing it's a get rich quick scheme when they trade. What's the best advice that you can give to these newbies to help them in their trading journey.

My advice is that newbies should only trade with the amount of money that you can afford to lose and don't use high leverage because trading is very risky. Long term bitcoin investment should be your priority.

Quick advice to Newbies concerning crypto trading from me:

Deal with crypto like a high risk environment rather than a quick way to wealth. Begin small, only invest as much as you can afford to let go in case. Please avoid high leverage it leads to liquidation too fast, set goal on the long term holding (mostly for Bitcoin and other solid projects) rather than daily trades and acquire, repeat exercise and be temperate. The trade market won't go nowhere

Briefly: play the long term game, hold regards for the risk and manage your emotions.

Re: Is Trading also addictive?

on 25/07/2025, 21:44:30 UTC
For over a year plus I have been an active trader's mostly I trade on derivative market, oh yeah the most risky form of trading, since you can blow off your balance to liquidation if the market goes against your position, but that is not why we are here with this topic, but let dive into it straight away.

Future derivative trading is liken to gambling since both activities have similar outcomes and results which is either you gain it all your you lose everything, but with proper management one can still make something out of this risky trading pattern but once you hit the jackpot, it becomes almost a go to point whenever you want to trade.

So the question is, can one becomes addicted to trading same way gambling can be addictive?

If yes what are the sign to know that one is becoming a trading addicts?

Absolutely, trading mostly in high risk environments like futures or derivatives can be addictive like gambling.
Reason is because our brain responsds to gains and losses in business just like with gambling.

Possibilities you are becoming addictive to trading:
* That point when you can't stop
* After losing you return to trading wishing to win it back, things may get worse
* Avoiding responsibilities like work, relationship even sleep suffer reason that trading is in charge
* When you mood get tied to results from your trading
* Neglecting your initial risk management rules
* You feel irritable when not trading, always restless

So trading can be addictive. When trading stops being a calculated decision and migrates to emotions take a step back and reassess.

Re: what makes a good trader?

This analysis is indeed a strong one and I agree with it .
Not having a technical edge, one may just be guessing. Understanding and knowing tools like Volume profile and Order Flow will give you advantage, only when you put in enough time to understand them deeply. No paid courses, just discipline and you are good to go.

Management of money, it is at this point most traders burn out. Though with strong system, poor risk management can ruin your account.

Psychology like you mentioned is what keeps everything intact. Emotions will constantly try you mostly when you lose a streak or after having a break-even trade like the POPCAT kind. Learning to be relaxed at this point and hold on to your rules makes the difference between Chaos and consistency.
You want to be serious with trading?, then focus on these three points. Without them it is turn to gambling not trading anymore.

Re: How do you hedge against unexpected volatility while trading futures
by
WhoYouCantKill
on 25/07/2025, 20:36:31 UTC
Futures trading can present huge rewards, rather with 20x leverage, the risk of quick reversals like POPCAT trade is massively high. When you begin to see repeated volatility wiping out your gains or leaves you exposed to liquidation, then it wise to try less aggressive methods or shift a little attention to spot trading mostly with solid projects like BGB, SOL, and SUI

Not really ready to stop futures consider these few steps to manage risk:
* Reduce your leverage
* Set rigid parameters and stay with them
* Hedge with options or inverse positions
* Refuse complete exposure

Most of it all it's smarter to prioritize funds preservation over fast profit. Combination of futures with spot trading may give you the best balance for the now

Re: Your best advice regarding Cryptocurrencies
by

on 24/07/2025, 22:12:14 UTC
We have always a lot to consider when it comes to cryptocurrencies, and sometimes you don't even know where to start to give newbies important advice. So: what is your best advice for cryptocurrencies?

My best advice is:

Not your Keys - not your Coins

Because storing your coins when you have your own access is always very important if you want to keep control of your coins.



So feel free to let us know what your best cryptocurrency advice is.
While your advice counts and is seen as important, my best advice would rather be: make sure to do your own findings (research) before investing.

Please don't depend on hype or what someone else say online, know the project, understand it, the risks and how the system functions, this will help you to make wiser, more reliable decisions and overcome being victims to scams or unproductive or unprofitable investments
Having a great knowledge of the storage or rather savings pattern could aso be of help too.

Re: Procrastination of your Bitcoin investment
by
WhoYouCantKill
on 24/07/2025, 21:50:47 UTC
As the title of this post implies, procrastination of your Bitcoin investment, as we all know procrastination has killed  more destiny than failure has ever done, most people falls for this easily because they will be saying that the price of Bitcoin is too expensive now, so they are willing to wait a little longer let it dip in price, but once it dip, they still wouldn't invest, they will say that it may still drop further, and at the end of the day, they wouldn't even buy a unit of Bitcoin, so we should try to act as soon as possible in what ever we planned doing, not just in Bitcoin investment.
I can still remember when I had the opportunity to buy Solana when it was $12 in 2023 when Bitcoin was $28k, I said that I will buy it once I receive my salary from a job I was doing then, when I was paid, I was still skeptical about it, so I didn't bought it, in 2 months after towards the end of the year Solana rose to $200 plus, so why am saying this is because of procrastination, we should try to avoid or overcome it by all means, because it kills destiny more than failure does
Procrastinating always does more harm than failure, mainly in investing. While some people delay to purchase Bitcoin or any other assets, waiting for best price. But when prices dip, yet they hold back held in doubt. At the end, they miss out totally.
Work on your plans without hesitating. Waiting or overthinking for the perfect hour might cost more than making calculated risk. This may be for Bitcoin or another goal, steady actions wins endless waiting every time.

Re: Was unemployment part of your Bitcoin/crypto journey?

on 24/07/2025, 20:37:48 UTC
Personally, unemployment wasn't basically the primary reason why I venture into Bitcoin or crypto knowledge and trading rather it contributed to the many other reasons;

One essential reason to dive into Bitcoin or crypto trading is the ability to nurture wealth through price movements. Crypto market offers regular opportunities to buy low and sell high when the market is highly understood —which makes it highly volatile. Some other reasons can be:
Different investment outside the traditional assets like stock af real estate, need to learn about digital finance and the future of money, making use of the advantages of 24/7 global market, and standing against inflation in unstable economies
Note that: crypto trading holds risks, therefore education and carefulness are vital key when or before diving in.

Re: Is It Safe To Keep Crypto On Exchanges??
by
WhoYouCantKill
on 24/07/2025, 20:18:38 UTC
Preferably it's adviced to transfer Bitcoin or USDT to an individual wallet when you are holding long-term. Allowing crypto on exchanges such as Binance holds risks—your money can be frozen, lost in hacks, or disturbed by government crackdowns, mostly in Nigeria. Holding an individual wallet, you are in control of your private keys and secure your assets. Exchanges are preferred with trading or short-term use, but not adviced for savings. This is the rule: "Not your keys, not your coins." For stronger security, use trusted wallet, and make sure to always back up seed phrase.
By so doing your crypto remains in your possession and not someone else's system.

Here are some recommended tools to teach children about Bitcoin investment, categorized by age:

 kids about banking and financial responsibility.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5452899.0

Educating our children on investing and Bitcoin isn't a bad idea only if it's age appropriate and responsibly handled. My take briefly:

It will be considered as wisdom if kids are introduced to modern financial concept early, which includes digital assets like Bitcoin. Not that they should begin investing immediately, but to enable them know how money evolves, the risks of speculating and the essence of thinking critically.

Nevertheless, it's important to teach them about the difference between investing and gambling, how volatile crypto market can be, also that Bitcoin is not a sure way to become rich. Balance they say is key, include lessons on savings, investing traditionally and financial planning as well.

Conclusively: Affirmative but with counseling, context, and a goal on financial literacy not hype.

Re: Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell?

Our level of aggressiveness or whimpiness is a choice, and there are ways to be aggressive without overdoing it, and surely the more aggressive we are, the more we run the risk of overdoing it in one way or another.. yet I doubt that being aggressive is a negative because we are able to tailor it to our own aspirations, and try to keep in mind if we might be pushing the boundaries too much in terms of starting to have negative consequences associated with our level of aggressiveness.
You are absolutely right, aggressiveness itself is a negative energy that brings in bad results, which can damage an individual lives.

Though aggressiveness is an emotion, which can be control by an individual if they don't want it to escalate, because if not control or balanced, it can affect in different areas of life like relationships, work etc.

Also, having self-regulation can help in adjusting their emotions or balancing to prevent any negative things that will be caused by aggression.

Your bot might need to better learn how to comprehend what you are reading...   You are mischaracterizing, misunderstanding and/or perhaps you have no fucking clue about what I said.  You are just making up your own bullshit spin.

In regards to bitcoin investing, we use the term aggressive to show how much a guy might prioritize investing into bitcoin so relatively speaking he chooses a higher level of his discretionary income is put into bitcoin, so the more and more aggressive he is, then he might make mistakes and overdo it or miscalculate and go beyond his discretionary income.  So, sometimes guys can inadvertently overdo their aggressiveness in their bitcoin buying, and I frequently proclaim that guys should attempt to invest into bitcoin as aggressive as they can without overdoing it, so they have to figure out how much investing into bitcoin and prioritizing investing into bitcoin is enough, but not too much for them and their circumstances..

For sure, so many folks do not invest in bitcoin at all, so it seems to me that it would be better for them to choose to invest into bitcoin, even if they were to invest into bitcoin whimpily rather than not at all, so from my perspective, investing whimpily into bitcoin is better than not investing at all.

In the end, each of us chooses whether or not to invest into bitcoin, and then we also choose our level of aggressiveness or our whimpiness in terms of how much of our discretionary income we invest into bitcoin.  We have to have discretionary income in order to invest in bitcoin, otherwise if we buy bitcoin out of money that we need for expenses, then we are trading/gambling rather than investing and we are also overdoing our aggressiveness from my perspective. 

There is no exact right answer, even though there are consequences to our actions, and historically, bitcoin has rewarded those who have invested into it and has rewarded those who aggressively invested into bitcoin even moreso, since bitcoin has been a quite positively performing asset, and aggressiveness was rewarded, so long as they did not overdo it.  Since we are currently at all time highs in our BTC prices, anyone who errored on the side of investing into bitcoin over the years, has ended up doing quite well over the years, and sure the longer that they have been in bitcoin, buying bitcoin and holding bitcoin the better for their finances, yet they also need to have enough income to be able to pay for their living expenses while they are investing into bitcoin over the years.
I think I got kind of confused at some point and misunderstood the whole aggressiveness stuff, as related to Bitcoin investment, but your explanation makes a lot more sense now and has provided a more vivid and clearer picture of what you meant. From what I was able to understand and grab from your explanation, aggressiveness in Bitcoin refers to how much of an investor's discretionary income is allocated to Bitcoin accumulation. When we consider an investor to be more aggressive in their approach, it means that they have prioritize Bitcoin investment or accumulation more heavily, but there's actually a very thin line between being overly aggressive in one's approach and overdoing the whole thing, and this can potentially lead to mistakes like investing beyond one's means.

According to your suggestion, you're implying that it's way more better to invest in Bitcoin, even if it's actually whimpily or sluggishly done, than not investing at all, and I find this to be very true and agreeable. You know, there are a lot of investors or should I say those who plan to invest, but they've not been able to make any step towards getting started, maybe because their idea of Bitcoin accumulation is being aggressive, so they can reach their long term goals faster, and since they currently do not have the resources to invest in that pace, they choose not to get started, and this is way worst than investing whimpily, especially given the historical performance of Bitcoin, even with a whimpy investor, it'll only take time and dedication before they'll reach their goal. The key I believe lies within finding a balance based on the circumstances and position of the individual and their financial stability. I see that you also emphasized on the importance of having a discretionary income to invest in Bitcoin, rather than using money meant for other expenses, which would seem more like trading or gambling, and I see a lot of sense in what you've said, because if an investor forfeits his expenses and uses the money to invest in Bitcoin, it might later cause him some financial strain, and maybe even lead to using money from your investment to foot those bills/expenses.

From what I understand, the level of aggressiveness is more of a personal choice, and although there could be some consequences to these choices, judging from the historical view of Bitcoin, it has always been rewarding to invest in Bitcoin, especially when a balanced approach is employed.

Re: Is There No Good Side Of Gambling?

on 23/07/2025, 12:51:17 UTC
Most of the posts I have come across here in the gambling section has always centered on negativity about gambling. If it's not about gambling making someone go broke, it will be about one negativity or the other. Sometimes reading the comments in those posts scares me, because of how some people describe their horrifying gambling experiences. This made me to come up with this post to ask this important question; Is gambling really that bad? Are there no good effects of gambling on people? Gambling can't just be all bad all the time. Well if you think it's all bad, why are you still gambling?
This your point is quite reasonable. Gambling wouldn't be said to be all bad automatically because it can provide entertainment, interaction socially and moments of excitement or making profit when engaded in responsibly. What seem like the problem is when it begins to cross into addiction or cause harm, being the reasons why lots of people focus on posting about its negativity. Like you rightly said: majority of people wouldn't involve in doing it, if all about it were purely bad. The major difference depends on its management—gambling can be recreational in one aspect while unmonitored gambling will destroy lives even lead to lose of property.

Supporting illegal casinos can bring quick money but it does so with more risks like lose of platform, ruin your reputation, or even land you on legal trouble. For social influencers, losing account with millions of people following can mean trashing decades of trust and tireless efforts. This is a clear warning that not all money is worth it.

Re: Excitement in gambling and How to Control Yourself ?
by
WhoYouCantKill
on 23/07/2025, 09:18:07 UTC
The question here is how do you relieve your excitement? Do you continue to play or do you stop there? The particular habit I observe in gamblers, professional or amateur, is that they are concerned about winning but do not feel the need to relieve their excitement. They are prepared to lose money and in the same way, they avoid limitations in order to earn money from gambling.

I feel excitement every time when I lose or keep winning. Do you also feel excitement when you win or when you lose?

The excitement of winning is really overwhelming and require lots of discipline to stop at that point before incurring lose weightier than the win.
But I think why some can't or won't stop is not all about the excitement but is about the greed of wanting more when it is even obvious that the next try is totally uncertain and blurry

The best time to stop is when you are very excited about the wins at that point a break is very essential, because not stopping there can ruin everything and bring torment or torture of loosing 

If you ask me when is the best time to stop, I will say it is when you are high on the joy or excitement and calm down before going again but not same day or even week

This reflection is very important but weighty, some people have come to point when gambling begins to affect them in hurting ways like financial stress, strained relationship worries or even shame, it really requires honesty to admit to what you experienced with debt as a result of gambling some people won't and some can relate.

As sad as the story you mentioned sounds, it shows it can only be caused by addiction, this happens when gambling has taken a person over, some lose their sense of judgement and empathy totally but that isn't an excuse for violence, rather should highlight the dangers of unchecked addiction both for the gambler and for others around too.

I personally have not gotten into gambling so much but I have seen how it has wreck the lives of some one that are close to me in aspect of financial stress, so off course with that I just don't want to have taste for myself because I don't think it's worth it

Re: Which is more regrettable?
by
WhoYouCantKill
on 23/07/2025, 06:54:41 UTC
Let's say when gambling, you follow a specific pattern. Let us use lottery for example. You bet on the same specific set of numbers. What would be more regrettable? Betting on the same set of numbers for the rest of your life and not winning or... changing up the set you bet on only for your old set to win?

Basically, would you rather bet on the same thing again and again then regret not exploring more or explore different kinds of bets then miss out on a win?

This is like the two side of a coin, any side of it can bring a win at the same time a lose but one among these hits harder, my point.

They can be both mind draining in their own way, but I think loosing out on a win with numbers you trusted old ones at that feels worse most times. The regret of it hit harder knowing that you had it but yet let it go.

Staying on the same old numbers and not winning is really disheartening, still you won't have to blame yourself with thought of "I wish I hadn't changed"

So I think exploring and loosing out on a win frustrates more than remaining consistent and not winning.

Re: Government banning of casinos are at their own loss.
by
WhoYouCantKill
on 22/07/2025, 13:46:51 UTC
Placing ban on casinos can be one of those decisions made depending on the context of the country and goal of government. Two views can be considered

Firstly, bans make sense when gambling is becoming a source of widespread of social vices ranging from addiction, crime, or maybe financial ruin for vulnerable persons. Governments can intervene when cost to society over burdens the federal or state revenue or value on entertainment. Though certain federations with strong religious and/or moral values can place bans on casinos standing on cultural or ethical reasons.

Finally, placing a ban on casinos may not automatically solve those problems, because people can switch to online or underground gambling, which can be hard to monitor or regulate and more dangerous. Governments can tax, monitor and create opportunities for jobs and tourism from legal casinos. Instead of a complete ban, certain federations focus on strong regulation like age limits, time spent on it, support for addicts with tight monitoring.

If they don't intend to create more problems than they wish to solve, they can consider having a solid plan on how to handle illegal gambling, revenue lost and public demand when thinking of a ban

Allowing your child to use your ID to pass KYC is not just supporting underage gambling—it's empowering it actively coming from legal and ethical principles.
It could be treated as fraud by most firms because you misrepresented the actual account holder, to some countrys legal consequences are attached to such act for both parent and child, the account can equally be banned or winnings seized when discovered.

Personally it is tempting to refuse such huge win considering it is a life changing one, but we should have to ask ourselves some tough questions before engaging into it

* How did they get access to it?
* Am I not encouraging this behavior if I help now?
* What could happen next time they try again?

Sometimes "helping" means refusing and setting boundaries, especially when it feels hard to do it

This is just my opinion on this comment thought.

There are also these franchise leagues to look at:
