This year has gone already, a new year is at the corner. Alot of people made their journey to riches this year while some were left with disappointment(duped, scammed and was left with nothing).

For the Successful ones, CONGRATULATIONS but try not to relax on this success, 2023 may still be a big win for you.

For those that met disapointment in the year, it's not over. Every disapointment is a blessing. It has a purpose. 2023 has come with a lot of blessing for you. A lot of billionaires became rich after being rejected and disappointed.
Read the above post to see some billionaires that made it after being disappointed. 2023 has come with alot of blessing for you if planned well at the early stage.
Above are some of my post that may be helpful towards your journey through the new year.
Above are also post from other people that may be helpful.

CONCLUSION
Make a good plan for your journey into and through 2023 and you will be surprise at your success at the end of the year. HAPPY NEW AND PROSPEROUS YEAR IN ADVANCE TO US ALL.

My finances are doing quite well, despite inflation, but for the coming year I wish the forum members good health and good personal relationships above all.

As for money the best plan is slow and boring, little by little improve your financial situation, that's how I have done it and I have done very well, plus without realizing it comes a time that your wealth begins to compose and grow more than you expected, but the good thing about following a slow plan is that you are prepared to handle it, not like lottery winners or NBA players, which in a high percentage end up in ruin in a few years.

There is no competition in the quest for riches and money. If one is better in terms of finance compared how they were in previous years it is a big achievement. Imitating people's success is one of the reasons many couldn't break their target and some experienced disappointment in the year 2022. 2023 will come with new scam formats and more shitcoins a time to update one's knowledge of what is known already so that no matter the storm it won't throw us off balance.

Yes this year was good for me as well I have made some good progress this year with my career as well as my other dream goal such as setting up my own laboratory to pursue my own researches in it.

It was hard but I did progress in it up to some extent. There was time when I was down financially and literally asked for help to few of the giant lenders in the forum. Though nobody helped me since the amount was big and also it’s unsecured loan so they were right at their spot and I was right at mine.

However, I learnt important lesson regarding finances. You are on your own, when time comes you have to create your own assets.

I am happy that I did not get the loan, I stood for myself and im proud of it.

Thanks for 2022 and I am wishing to perform even better in the year 2023.

I also ended a year not too bad when many parts of the world are still struggling with war and inflation, I had a pretty successful year at work and at home. I congratulate those who succeeded in 2022 and wish those who are still struggling to have a more favorable 2023. And my greatest hope is that the war will end in 2023 and return peace to all of us.

As long as you live, you shouldn't give up and still keep the faith and hope that you'll be financially well.
Those scams that you've experienced before, it will be your weapon towards the next danger that you may face.
The same goes with those disappointments about the failed investments or trades that you've made.
Everything is a learning session until you finally learn the lesson and you're finally about to move to the next step of your life while experiencing the success of being well not just financially but also in other aspects of life.

I got COVID at the end of 2021. It negated sense of taste and smell. I also received the rare 3rd condition, where COVID negates sense of hunger and appetite for food. Despite not eating for 4 days, I still did not feel hungry and had to force myself to eat. In some strange way, the 4 day fast reset my eating cycles to be healthier. It may also have given me a good detox. Trends which continue into 2022. While issues like COVID are making the world a more difficult and challenging place, there might also be a positive upside to it. (I wonder if I'm the only fool whose health improved from having COVID?)

2023 could be more challenging than 2022 was.

I am hopeful all of us can find a positive upside to growing hardships, which might allow us to progress and evolve with the increasing difficulty.

Evolution. Adaptation. Transformation. Growth. Those types of themes could be worth embracing under projected future conditions.

I would be curious to hear how others expect events to unfold.

As long as we stay in crypto, of course there is still a high hope of success despite the many previous failures. Nothing is easy in business, and it is big business and it is involved all over the world. Of course the risk effect that we get is much higher. Starting from the risk of fraud, to the level of analysis of price changes. But we also need to analyze the changes in crypto prices for 2023, so that we don't get caught up in someone else's speculation, even our own.

Same here I would like to congratulate people who had success in the year 2022 I hope the year 2023 is a blessings for all of us.


It only becomes a blessing if the one experienced it has learned from it.  If a person does not learn from his mistakes, it won't be a blessing at all.  So hopefully we all learned from our mistakes this 2022 and devised a plan or approach in avoiding these mistakes again.


Same goes hopefully we all have a prosperous year ahead!  Happy New Year every one!

This is the challenge that we are dealing everyday with crypto, there’s no assurance and its full of risk that’s why only those who can afford to take such risk will stay longer and in crypto there’s always a chance to make profit just focus with your winning strategy. 2022 was already just part of our memory, and moving forward to 2023, I hope that this year will be a great one to start the recovery of cryptomarket, I am very optimistic for this year.

Congratulations dude. More win to come this new year.


I can see you face a lot of challenges during the year, I'm glad you overcome this and I'm happy towards your success. Can you please share some of this challenges with us for others to learn from you as we make it towards the new year.

Crypto takes patient to succeed in it. Some make it quick as they introduce them to crypto. So they think it always come easy that way. Then they still lose it all through their impatient and greediness. Crypto isn't a get quick rich scheme. Although a project can turn you from thousandnaire to billionaire. The opposite can also happen as well. Avoid being greedy and learn to be patient can help when investing in the crypto space.

In 2022 I made many mistakes, my time was wasted by gaming and playing, without thinking about any success, because I'm getting older and years are easily passing I have to do progress to catch up with my success, I read the thread you suggested and it turns out I got key answers that are hard for others to do to pursue success namely;
This reminds me and will become my benchmark in pursuing my goals, making the same mistake is stupidity that will fall into a worse room, my mistake is being too comfortable with games so that it makes me continue playing games every day without a goal and finally arrive at lately I'm nothing.

Thank you

It does take patience. Hopefully all the new comers from 2022 have learned this and can
carry the new knowledge into 2023. It's going to be a good year, better than 2022 for sure.


That's for sure, it's up to us all to be vigilante and try be smarter than the scammers.

Personally I don't care about any $hitcoins, I don't get drawn away from my main focus
on Bitcoin and I would hope more people do the same.

If you can hold on for the long term beyond 2023, then it will be good for you. The market made 2022 a very dissatisfying year and it's up to you to make the future satisfying.  If you hold still then your 2022 plans may not be as very different as this in 2023.

But is waiting for a bull market a real plan?
I did ask myself as well when I read this question from Reddit, what do you think?

I was part of those that succeeded to purchased cryptocurrency in a low price 2022, because many wish to purchase but they didn't have the money to purchase just because of the high inflation that was affecting their countries economy. I think, this year 2023 will be a best year for all cryptocurrency investors because many governments are trying their possible best to make cryptocurrency legalize in every corner in their countries to eliminate this inflation in their land. I believe, those that missed last year opportunity can use this year to buy cryptocurrency and hold for long period because this year will not end up like 2022 that ended up in bearish.

I agree on the point of avoiding greed and learning to be patient when investing or when pursuing a project where the direction is becoming clearer. Because those who make projects and who are already billionaires like world business people also start everything with a process and are patient while going through it. So I agree more with the point you said where everyone must avoid greed and learn to be patient in dealing with every situation that exists.

I would say otherwise. If you already understand that you spend a lot of time on games, as I understand you to be a gambler, then you are already on the right track. Sometimes people do not think about the fact that they are wasting their lives senselessly. They use alcohol and drugs and do not pay attention to their health, thinking that life is long and that it is too early for them to become wise. But once they wake up and look in the mirror, they suddenly realize that they are well over 60, and it’s too late to start something new.
There is nothing wrong if you are into games, but you should always put a "stop" to it.
Now is a good time to start a new life, leave everything in 2022, start 2023, and get out of your comfort zone. Moreover, as I understand it, you have a good advantage in the form of your youth.
Happy New Year!

We should all remember, when we die, on our grave it will say our name, a good word or two maybe and our birthdate and our death date, you know that dash between your birth and death date? That's life, all of your life explained in a single dash, the period between those dates were the life you lived as a human, simplified by a single thing.

I feel like life is important enough to make sure you enjoy it as much as you can because you won't get to live it again, but it is also quite unimportant to not to worry because you have only one life and if you keep worrying about the future all the time then you will miss the present and never live.

We that are still here are lucky because there are also people who perish early and didn't enjoy life that much. For us who are still here. I bet we already enjoy our youth days and maybe it's now time for us to be serious this time. This can be the perfect time to start it because we are still on the first month of 2023.

There might only be few words written in our grave yards but that's fine as long as we make the most of our life when we are still alive. We already help ourselves and a lot of people who also need's a helping hand. That is what matters here. Then these people who still remain are going to remember the goodness that you brought to their life.

I would say I was wise in 2022 regarding cryptocurrency and the investment in it. I didn't have to buy just any coin that I saw on my way. I took my time, raised skepticism of such coins from my earlier experience with 2010/2011, buying just any coin with the hope that magic will happen and then the riches will come so it didn't happen rather the value of those coins dropped and I learnt my lesson and applied that in 2022 where I bought few coins. But this 2023 is likely to be a good investment year for altcoins.

Planning is an important thing to do right now because of course this will impact your condition in the future so indeed planning is something you have to do to navigate 2023.
When living without a plan, of course, this indirectly means that there are no goals to be achieved, on the other hand, in the absence of planning, there are no guidelines for what we want to do, which makes this not well controlled.
Currently my plan in crypto is still the same as before by continuing to DCA bitcoin before the bull run and this will continue as long as bitcoin is not more than $ 30k. This is for my plan this year the priority is of course for the long term.

As for my financial plans and daily life, I personally am now trying to evaluate what I am doing in 2022 with expenses that are sometimes not well controlled so that it makes me a little overwhelmed and of course it is possible to rethink buying things that are not really too used to reduce my budget in everyday life and maybe it will better prepare my mental and financial condition especially when seeing the recession now becoming more visible.

making steps to start an evaluation in the past year is the right thing. because with Evaluation we will know how far we have achieved and what we have not achieved in the past year. and what benefits have been obtained and we also know what to do next based on the results of our evaluation in the past year. Any mistakes and deficiencies in our steps so far will also be seen if we evaluate them more carefully. so that our planning in 2023 will be even better. because we know what to add and which to subtract from our habits in 2022. whether it's about the economy or other things.

and of course we also have to evaluate from various aspects. because the evaluation itself is divided into several types such as:

- Evaluation of inputs
- Process evaluation
- Impact evaluation

all three must be implemented so that nothing is missed when we do the evaluation. and the information we collect becomes more complete and we can use this information in planning in 2023 to improve our quality or achievements that are still lacking in 2022.

I can say I am just in okay-ish stage. Maybe not expecting too much will bring you this type of emotion. There's just no news to hype the cryptocurrencies today. All eyes or on what the economy will be after what we experienced. i.e. pandemic, war, price hike, etc...
2023. Nah. I am on the mood of not expecting again, I just don't see it yet. Maybe after this year we could see some changes but right now all I want to happen is the necessities to go back at it's normal price (if there's such thing) or higher wages to suffice for the needs. Then possibly demands will come soaring again.

happy new year to all friends

financial management in 2022 might be bad for me personally because I was too late to get out of my comfortable cycle and realized when the asset value was minus more than 40% ,
I think making a wish at the beginning of the year is only natural right?
so that the direction in 2023 is more focused in this crypto, lesson after lesson I get from incident after incident in crypto becomes my experience

A 40% loss on your assets is not small but that is the price many of us have to pay to learn more about the way the market works, next time set yourself a stop loss and no matter what happens sell your coins if that stop loss level is reached, this can be painful as no one likes to lose money and to admit they made a bad move, but it is preferable to admit this mistake early than to do so once your losses have reached levels in which your finances will be affected heavily by such loss.

Wishing for a better year is normal, relying on your wish is not. It is you who would decide where you would focus given that we are going under different circumstances. Sometimes, no matter how bad you want to invest, there will be something which would make you hesitate and that is just fine and better than to just engage into it without considering other factors

Well for this year, I guess many people are aware, nothing's still new to hype investors up, as we begin with 2023. Hoping for things to be better is needless to say.The best thing to do for now is to wait for the 'right' time; a time wherein pattern or trend is visible and a time when you are ready to both ups and downs of your speculations.

I had a good year in 2022.  I switched jobs and moved, which were two major milestones in my life.  I was quite worried about both the job and the move, for a number of reasons, but they've both worked out incredibly well so far.  My suggestion to those, take risks when they can really pay off.  Not necessarily huge risks, but calculated risks.

I can't wait for what 2023 will bring myself and all of us.  I have big things planned!

What's a good plan, by the way? Or more specifically, what's a good plan for the year that has just entered?

I don't think the ends or beginnings of years are to be given too much importance. The Bitcoin market, for example, doesn't shift from bear to bull or vice versa just because a year has ended and another one has begun. So rather than looking at it through the lens of time, I'd rather look at it through its price. Time only matters if there's an anticipated event that affects the price. Otherwise, it doesn't matter whether it's December or January, or 1st or 2nd quarter, or 2023 or 2024.

Of course what we are talking about is not the result of impatience or greed when investing in crypto. But analyzing the crypto market is not enough time one or two days. However, it takes a long time for us to make comparisons from the previous events with the present. If you have been here since the 2018 bullrun, of course you will understand the matter well enough to make comparisons to the 2021 bullrun.

Do you know that in 2017 many people have succeeded but not a few have suffered losses. There are many problems that investors face when they go in to invest in ICOs, and those who invest in certain coins, and so on.

But how to restore all of that, both previous incident, and events in 2021 until now? Then the solution, we keep investing in crypto. Losses in crypto will pay off with crypto. If we go and leave crypto, then all of that will not pay off and will lead to negative thoughts on crypto.

Everyone's future is in crypto, of course we are not looking to get rich in one day here even though some have experienced it.

Honestly I believe 2022 was such a terrible year for me, well for all of us but interestingly 2022 was much worse than any year before, even during pandemic I did better, so 2023 was such a horrible period to me that I have high hopes for 2023. Not because I expect 2023 to be great or anything, I just don't think that it could be worse than 2022, could it be?

There is a possibility of course, why wouldn't it be like that, but I think after such a low bar, if nobody I love dies, then I would consider it better than 2022 for sure. At the end of the day I will work towards making sure that I am as good as I could possibly be and that's going to be the only thing that matters.

Yay.  2022 is over.  Yay.  Yay.

I wasn't duped, scammed, screwed over, or anything of the sort but I wouldn't call this past year a particularly fruitful one for me financially.  And a big part of that was the simple fact that inflation spiked and as far as I know is still rising.  Every time I go grocery shopping it seems like prices of things have gone up, and it's eaten a hole in my wallet so big that I could probably crawl through it.

Let's just hope bitcoin starts dancing upward again, and that the entire crypto space doesn't get regulated into oblivion.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I think for 2022 many crypto users feel disappointed and lost in investing, and only some have been able to enjoy success in the past year, so whatever happens this year we still have to be enthusiastic and we will definitely get profits if we have faith because of all things we have felt bitter, so never give up before we can find happiness, rest assured that every loss will have a profit, so this year the crypto world will definitely have a big surprise, so we have to be prepared to do something that can give us big profits.

Every year we all have different twists and turns, but last year we as crypto users indeed experienced many losses in investing and some of them have sold their assets at a loss, of course this is not what we want, so this year we must get up so that all the wishes that we haven't achieved can come true later, rest assured that for this year big surprises will definitely happen so be prepared to hold some potential coins so that later we can get big profits, after we experience losses rest assured we will definitely feel big profits.

When a man knows his purpose for life then he is bound to succeed even when others aren't succeeding. Knowing the right thing to do and the right place to be at the right time determines your distinction that would therefore leads you to your final destination.
As years goes and as year comes everyone should at least defines what they need in life, walk and work towards it, it may be via crypto investment, real estate and what so ever.
Yeh we are already in the year 2023 and everyone has started another race of life while those who knew their purpose are already confident.

For investors over here I believe we have all learnt from 2021 and 2022 about the incident that occurred with luna and FTX and many more, so I will calmly say everyone should be mindful and wise while making investment this year and please do not leave your funds into any exchange.

Well everyone seen the worst, not just for crypto enthusiast, but for for there are a lot of test last year but we all made it. I think majority of us got sick or something or affected by the pandemic, some of us might be hit financially, lost someone along the way (I lost my sister last year), so it's pretty much f**k 2022. But hey, we should be optimistic that 2023 will be a big U-turn, and hopefully it will be better than last year and the mistakes that we made will not be repeated.

And for our crypto activities, yeah, the old and very effective way, just DCA, invest what we can afford to lose. Finances, that's the more important for us, write down everything if you can, settle your debts already, and again, save for the rainy days.

I have spent too much of my 20's and early 30's trying to get super rich, and I do not mean like just a bit of rich, I mean unrealisticly rich. I gave that up this year in 2023, that's my new years resolution. For at least one year, I am going to just try to live life the best way I could, go to expensive vacations, buy that thing I wanted to buy, screw up my entire financial situation, cash out all my investments, literally go back to ground zero and have zero money left and also the best year I have ever had. The past 3 years, 2020-2021 and 2022 all had been terrible, not just because of pandemic, that was bad but more stuff happened, deaths, cancer, many other things. I am done with it, I am done planning for 20 years down the road, I will do that again in 2024, but this year? I am just going to spend all I make AND all I saved, finish the year with nothing. I want to see 0$ in my name by 31st December 2023, and amazing memories.

Very odd to see someone who do have this kind of target and motives in life on going back to zero after all the years you've been through which you would just basically be spending it all unrealistically.
Im not saying that its not something worth since its your money that you had worked hard for, its your choice but you should be sure that you wont be regretting if you do go back to zero
and working hard all over again.

Its better to work and make more source of income which you do at least have the time that spending spree without needing on going back to square one.

Great to hear this. That mean you made good profit this last year. Congratulations dude, this is another year for you to make more profit if you dedicate your time to study most project well and not buying coin anyhow.

I also thought as much. We should all look forward for great project this year for good profit.

When you do make out investment then it would be always sensible that you should really be setting a goal or target that you should achieve on every year.Although not all the times it would really be happening or something that could be achieved but at least you've done your part on doing on what you should do in the essence of making investment and making profits.You wont really be progressive if you do really make
yourself that idle or doesnt do something at all.

For this year, lets hope that it would be a good one and not something a worst just like on 2022 but no one really knows on what would happen in next.
