In such unpredictable market, future price predictions are normal. And some crypto analysts don't just do it because they want it but because they also have some good and reliable basis that might possibly work in the future. That's why try to be more open for future predictions but never assume that they will all come into reality, and never rely in them for your future decisions.

However, as per my own point of view, I truly believe that bitcoin has all the potentials to finally reach $1 million in price but it will be uncertain as to what year it will happen. And for me, 2026 might not be the year to see bitcoin hitting $1 million. It could possibly happen 10 or 15 years from now.

Stay at home most often if you want to avoid expenses like eating on fancy restaurants, or shopping on malls. What you want to do today might not be the same thing tomorrow. That’s one way of saving. Also, live life within your means. Do not spend above your income, otherwise you’ll end up having a lot of debt. Lastly, learn to invest more than saving a lot. Your savings has rare chances to grow, but when you invest, your capital might be double or triple in time as long as you invest on those high potentials to succeed. Hence, you will be more capable to save if you have a sustainable investment on the side.

One is not supposed to invest and rely on it for living. You need to land a sustainable source of income first before you decide to take risk in any investment. Note that no investments provide guaranteed profits, most of the time you lose a hundred times first before you will experience significant profits. This is just the same with bitcoin investment. You can't assure profits the moment you decide to invest. That is the reason why people decide to save first before they invest. Not literally to save to invest, but you will save enough funds to cover even a year's worth of living expenses, before you decide to put some of your hard-earned money to invest. Once you have done it, never assume quick profits since you are in a long term investment. Put a good amount of patience and trust your investment. That way, even if the price suddenly crash, you know that it will always change so you won't never worry. Once you are starting to gain profits, buy back again and do the DCA. That's the only way so you will never miss the market opportunities to invest, which will also increase and maximize your future profits.

There's no definite time as to how long you will learn in trading. It depends on your own capacity and capability whether you easily get the trading technicalities and its fundamentals or you always find it hard to engage in trading. As every individual is unique, so each aspiring trader may also has its own way to learn trading based on his own preferred way. And as long its never crossing the line against the trading rules, then any trade will never be a threat.

However, there's also this concept that everyone is free to trade but not everyone is capable to trade and earn a living from it. That is just the same if one desires to learn in trading. He can always decide to trade but there's no guarantee if he can be a successful trader in the long run, as trading is not measured by how long you are learning in trading, but its on how you hone and develop your skills and how you build up yourself to be a successful and profitable trader in the making.

Even if we try to assume that bitcoin has no competition in the crypto market, but people will still be comparing it into other types of investment like gold, stocks or real estate. So the competition will still be possible.

However, if only bitcoin will exist in the market without altcoins and shitcoins that will deceive the people, I would say the crypto market will be boring and bitcoin price will never be exciting. I would not even expect for faster adoption of bitcoin since people will more likely to favor gold or real estate. But if there are altcoins on the side that are seeing bitcoin as their model, then people will be more wise to chose which crypto is capable to give them decent profits, or they could have invest in both cryptos for investment diversification, and jut learn from their outcome which coin deserves higher allocation the next time they decide to invest again. 

The expected ETF approval might also be one reason why bitcoin price looks bullish. If the headlines about the fake approval made bitcoin price to jump high suddenly, then the more we will expect a great move when the real approval is already happening. However, that's not going to happen this year but most likely on the first quarter of early next year based on the news so probably, we might encounter first some price decline for bitcoin before it hits a new bigger price. And when that happens, a lot would be entering the market again not because the price is currently low but because they believe that after that, bitcoin will eventually create a significant price increase that's unstoppable. Although the assumption is not quite bad, but make sure when that happens, never invest more than you can afford to lose. No matter how affordable bitcoin is, always risk the money that is acceptable to lose.

I'd like to start by asking how much is your total bankroll?

I mean, $50k is a substantial amount of money, though it's achievable in gambling, the odds are relatively small if you don't have a decent bankroll. Let's be realistic here. While I believe there are successful gamblers who make a living from it, they typically don't start with $1,000 and end up with $50,000 by the end of the year. That's quite unattainable for most, which is why I'm curious about your total bankroll.

He's already paved the way by picking Tony Bishop as their import, but we're not sure if he'll gel right away, given he hasn't played with the team before. The good side is that he's from a defensive powerhouse, the Meralco Bolts, and we all know Coach Tim values solid defense due to the discipline it shows. I've got a feeling that the new import will slot in nicely, though, no promises, of course.

It wasn't a KO, just a knockdown; otherwise, Ngannou would have already won and the fight is over in the first round.


That was a close fight; either fighter could have won, so we can really hear different sentiments from the people, especially since Ngannou scored a knockdown. However, it's very evident how Fury controlled the later rounds. I mean, Ngannou wasn't as aggressive anymore, and Fury was just racking up points with his jabs. That was the difference-maker in why Fury was able to rally in the score despite the knockdown. It's very rare to see a fighter get knocked down and still win the fight, but it's exceptional for Fury.

Everyone has been waiting for it to happen. Not only for those who have bought bitcoin at it last all time high price but also to those who have been holding bitcoin for couple of years now, surely they also want to take part in selling but that will only be possible if a new all time high is reached after the bitcoin halving is done. But if they will decide to sell at the current price, it's clear that they will still be in profits since the price has already crossed the $30k price resistance.

However, if they will chose to hold even longer, that would mean bigger profits in the future. Bitcoin is always highly volatile, and that volatility is the one big reason why a lot of us are even excited to hold even longer knowing bitcoin price will always appreciate no matter how often its price fluctuations.

Well, that's one thing I don't like when you decide to invest. Investments should start with a good preparation not only on the sufficient funds you need for capital but also when it comes to your mental and emotional aspects. Make sure that you obtained prior knowledge about bitcoin and you are not faint-hearted so you won't be easily affected whatever the outcome of your investment. However, if you think of investing is like gambling, that it needs more luck than knowledge or skills, then you will never gained financial freedom in the end. This man is just so lucky that his investment had succeeded despite of his different mindset about investing. The only positive thing about him is that he trusted bitcoin more than any other investment and at such a very early time. I think that's one positive trait that we are lacking. Yes, we don't miss opportunities that bitcoin has to offer but we all know that our faith is not that strong and firm like him that's why in every market crash and price decline, we tend to change our decision towards reaching our goals in our investment.

I don't think he was replaced during his time with the Meralco Bolts, so I'm expecting that he'll be able to finish the conference in case Brownlee can't play due to suspension. Coach Tim knows the caliber of his import; that's why he hired him. With the Ginebra team, discipline is highly valued. Even if a player is an import and not producing, Coach Tim Cone could sit him out and opt for an All-Filipino lineup.

And let's not forget, Maverick Ahanmisi is already with Ginebra, and this guy plays good basketball as well.

It's understandable that he's taking a different approach now that he's a champion and involved in a high-stakes unification fight. Building hype and marketing is an integral part of professional boxing, and it can lead to more significant financial rewards. Even though he's engaging in trash talk, his goal is to capitalize on the moment and make the most out of this opportunity. If he wins, it would undoubtedly solidify his position and increase his marketability. However, if he loses, he may have to work his way back up, but the rewards from this high-profile fight are worth the effort.


How about the PPV? I believe there's a PPV of this fight, and those who aren't able to watch in the venue, they could watch through PPV sponsored by ESPN I think.

What are the odds you'll get for that fight? Currently, Tyson to win outright is only at 1.05, and 1.18 if he wins by KO. The odds haven't been very attractive, but this bet seems like a lock. Good luck with that. How about Tyson winning by decision? That one is at around 6, isn't it? It could be a significant multiplier for your parlay.

It's true that many fighters who earn substantial money are often skilled in the art of trash-talking. Marlon, despite not being a natural trash-talker, is making an effort to adopt the style that has proven successful in boxing. We can't deny that it's not just about winning fights; having an effective marketing strategy is crucial.

To engage fans and make them eager to watch the fight, creating interest is essential. Fans can be quite passionate, especially when they hear fighters trading verbal jabs, and that alone is a sign that trash talk has been a successful strategy.

There’s no problem with well experienced traders as they surely have their own trading analysis and predictions that are more reliable compared to the YouTubers online. But for these new traders that can be easily lured by too good to be true videos, then the problem never stops. That is why trading is actually not for everyone since what we need here are the real knowledgeable and capable traders that can sustain the market’s uncertainty. Not those traders who are more eager with the quick profits that they can obtained from trading, when in reality all they gained are just losses because they’re not capable to make successful trades.

However, we can’t also blame these YouTubers who claim that they know everything about bitcoin. They need that to attract their viewers as they can gain maximum income if a lot of viewers will follow their predictions. But the final decision is already on us whether we find their analysis highly reliable or we just need to focus on our own to achieve better and positive trading results.

You can expect to double your investment returns when you invested earlier at a very affordable price, that is when bitcoin is still at its $20k or below. When bitcoin halving is over, probably we will achieve a price that is close to the last ATH or even exceeds it. However, if you invest just months ago, then I suggest to stay practical on your expected investment returns. As long as you are seeing small profits, regardless of its amount, that is still a profit so you have to take part in selling your coins so you can also enjoy those little profits.

But if asked if you have to sell everything in your portfolio to achieve maximum profits, I believe its your own decision already. No one will manage your investment but only yourself. However, if you ask me, If am not in a situation that badly needs a huge amount of profits, then I will never decide to sell all my coins so I can still enjoy the future profits of my remaining investment.

This thread has been asked a lot of times but it seems people are still confused if trading is really for everyone. Yes, it's certainly is. But since trading is not easy and should be learned the hard way, then a lot of aspiring traders have develop doubts if they will pursue trading or not knowing the capital requires a decent amount and yet you are just going to lose it in the end.

This is why trading is not for faint hearted individuals. Traders should be brave enough not to fear the losses in trading, as it could be their best motivation to do more good in trading and do more accurate market analysis so they will know how to time the trading market.

It's great to see the results of the poll, indicating that 28% of the posters who voted are honest employees and don't gamble at work.

Being rich means you know how to manage your expenses and be able to save from time to time. Being rich does not mean that you can flaunt all the luxuries in life, but being rich for me is to live below your means and have no problems in meeting all your needs and wants. And since you are rich, you know how to use your money wisely and create more assets than liabilities.

However, being rich does not only limit into financial aspects. If you are rich, then you have also a rich mindset that will lead you to the life that you desire and an emotional stability that has capacity to maintain the balance even under some stressful circumstances.
