Here's another idea if we're about to utilize layers: exchange BTC for XMR and XMR for BTC a little while later. Leaves no traces, much better than Wasabi + lightning altogether. You could then coinjoin the bitcoin, just to minimize the blockchain connection with the previous owner.

See, that's the problem. You think Wasabi implemented blacklisting and now their coinjoined coins are government friendly. We have absolutely no clue with what factors their chain analysis works. We only know that chain analysis is evidently not scientific; what Coinfirm deems as "clean" coins does not necessarily imply the same for other firms.

Hmm not sure if you are serious? “Rollbit will surely colmunicate with you”.  
If they did that, i would have had a reason for the ban.


People here needs to understand that the promotion was a sign up bonus, which i could have cashed out instantly since there was no strings attached.

To odds on a 1.01 bet is not abusive at all, and it maybe happend like 10-20 times out of a thousand bets. Its normal for people who wants to climb the ranks to bet like that. I do that on Stake as well, and thats totally ok. Its not unusal that people also lose on odds 1.01, that happend to me as well.   Like Chelsea is up 3-1 in 80 minute, you place a odds 1.01 and the other team scores 2 goals the next 10 minutes.. It happends often!

Its like betting on Crash and cash it out on 1.01, is that abusive as well? People needs to understand that such bets is ok! You can climb the ranks faster but you lose big money when it fails. Its normal and totally ok.

I dont intend to speak fore to them.. Im fine with that being closed for good when they ban people without explanation, and i leave with good profit. I just want to make people aware that they can’t trust them at all.. Getting banned without knowing the reason is crazy and i wish for nobody to have balance in there while this happend.

Also remember that Rollbit is non transparent at all. No names on owners, all support/admins uses nicknames and they decide the communication.. if they dont want to discuss with you, they stop answeing. Thats how they do.

I can see that the majority here support the DCA as a good investment strategy. Of course, there are some risks, as DCA doesn't guarantee a positive outcome and can lead to buying at an unfavourable price. Some say it's a strategy for beginners, but honestly, i think it's just good for anyone who doesn't want to drown in researching the market and emotional rollercoasters of making right or wrong decisions. It's also safer because if a person buys a lot at an unfortunate time, it's worse than buying a part at a good time and a part at a bad time.

People are trying to figure out the best way to invest in cryptocurrency because it can be very unpredictable. If you're an investor looking to reduce your risk, you might consider a strategy called dollar-cost averaging (DCA). However, using this strategy means you're less likely to make really big profits.

Dollar-cost averaging means putting the same amount of money into an investment over time. It's nice because it makes investors feel more comfortable. By spreading out your Bitcoin purchases over time, you're either buying when it's doing well, or you're getting it at a lower price compared to your first purchase, which is a good thing.

Some people prefer to invest a large lump sum all at once because you might end up with more Bitcoin quickly. But there's also a chance you'll end up with less. To decide between these two methods, you need to think about the risk involved.

If you want a bigger chance of making a lot of money, go for the lump sum. If you want to slowly accumulate Bitcoin with the least risk (even if it means having less Bitcoin in the end), then DCA is better. For most regular people who just want to accumulate Bitcoin, DCA is a good choice because it helps you get a decent amount of Bitcoin based on the money you have to invest.

What is your opinion?
And and which method do you prefer to be used in this present market conditions?

No it's just my crappy cut and paste from excel

I was showing if you would have lumped at first of any Jan 1 from 2019 - 23 what that amount would be at 8/1/2023.... It not cumulative, sorry.

I wanted to go back far enough to get an election and a halving in there. Looking at it now I want to redo it so it formats better. I'm also thinking of omitting 2018 and 2019, those were immature growing years, I don't think they are indicative how things are going forward really. redux coming when I some time

Let's discuss the results of this expansion on the global economy and the possible position of the G-7 countries. And do you think that this is the beginning of the formation of a new world order,

especially since in the speech of Russian President Vladimir Putin, he had stressed the need to deal with a common currency among the countries of the group in addition to local currencies ?

If you place a bid area on $20,000 I understand very well, you must be very careful of the global economic situation which will impact on a further decline for BTC itself but, I think it is still very far towards that decline and in the investment world a buying strategy with Low prices and selling at high prices are the general keys and the installment strategy with DCA is one of the most comfortable without having to worry about every moment we will buy.

The bankroll of MoneyPot is fluctuating for the profits and losses of the users. Now the bankroll has decreased to 37.5 Bitcoin. Users betting activity is gradually increasing, but the house of MoneyPot can't generate profits with the wagering activity of the users. I'm wondering how long the house edge of MoneyPot will keep the users happy by staying in negative .

Yeah.. your head is like a concrete block that is not penetrable.

It seems that I have explained a million different ways, and nothing seems to sink in because you already have your mind made up regarding what strategy you are going to employ and your inability to understand and appreciate that a newbie coming into bitcoin is likely going to be way the fuck better off just getting started rather than trying to figure out if a BTC price dip is coming or not... and once s/he has accumulated a certain amount of BTC and learned about BTC for a while, then maybe s/he will be in a better position to either change his/her strategy to supplement with buying on dips, rather than DCA or to completely replace the DCA strategy with some buying on dips kind of a practice.. that still may or may not be a form of DCA, depending upon how it is deployed..


It might matter in the context of someone waiting around for a Dip might end up fucking himself (or psyching himself) out of buying bitcoin on a regular basis and perhaps employing more aggressive ongoing BTC buying habits.. so maybe the whimpy guy ends up strategizing and not really buying as much as the guy who just buys regularly and perhaps supplements a bit more from time to time with extra purchases on dips.  Do you need some examples, or do you just want to act like the ONLY way to go is to buy on dips based on your retroactively looking at the BTC price moves and the figuring out the points at which some hypothetical person would have bought his/her BTC?


That seems to be true... and there are likely still at least another 10 years of front-running billionaires, even though some of them are seeming to start to "get it."... even though it is hard to know which ones of them are actually getting it rather than seeming to get it but not really getting it.   

Today makes it two years since El Salvador made bitcoin a legal tender in the country. Since the adoption of bitcoin in that country. The president of the country Nayib Bukele has accumulated about 2381BTC which he has spent $101 million for the purchase with an average purchase price of $43,357. The price is down by 40% which the BTC price now worths $61 million today.

Even as this is happening, the president is not compelled or pressured to sell them off, but still optimistic about the future of bitcoin and will likely love to add more to the bitcoin savings until a target 100,000 BTC by 2024 is met. Will this approach, confidence and doggedness by the president of El Salvador make other countries to follow his footsteps. No one has loved and gave much confidence in bitcoin as a government like him, and I admire and respect him for that a lot. We hope other countries leaders will follow and trail on his path.

Went through the article and it looks funny regarding some of the claims like the BTCitcoin market will rally in correlation with the stock market and i cannot understand how a rally in Nvidia will have a positive impact on BTCitcoin as they never launched a BTCitcoin miner nor planning to launch one.

Actually these graphic card companies benefited greatly because of the cryptocurrency market as many of their high end cards used to sell like hot cakes as miners used to purchase them in bulk while the actual gamers find it hard to get hold of a card.  

Accepted. Please update bio information and make a post with the total number of posts.

They are directly funding blockchain analysis companies, which are the exact same companies providing flawed evidence to the government to prosecute privacy devs for writing code. They are enforcing government sanctioned blacklists and censoring their users. They are enforcing the concept that bitcoin is not fungible. In what way is any of that not nefarious?

Sorry, I don't think it's going to happen. I have had my share of problems with their representative Kruw in the Wasabi thread like some other members here, and have a very bad opinion of him. Still, I don't see Wasabi as a malicious entity that would require it be removed from bitcoin.org. Proper warnings about their activities and partnership with blockchain analysis should be posted though, and I would support that any day of the week. Any time they call themselves a privacy tool should be corrected that they aren't, etc.
  

Personally, I don't have any problem with the idea of ongoingly looking at the BTC price and the value of your overall BTC holdings as compared to fiat, and even part of the sentiment of this thread involves considering the extent to which there might be some value in terms of trying to time dips versus just buying BTC regularly without much if any reference to the price, and I have difficulties considering that both might not be done and/or accomplished without necessarily devolving into trading practices and/or panicking based on BTC price moves.

The closer we are getting to halvening, the higher the chance to see some early bullish movements. And the chance of bearish movements should reduce too, it would be quite strange to see Bitcoin moving to its 16K support when the halvening is half year away. I voted for sideways and think there still many months of sideways ahead, and eventually a bullish breakthrough like in the previous markets. There can also be smaller breakthroughs followed by pullbacks - $32K then $40K after some time and so on.

I continue to believe that #bitcoin's 4 year cycles are just coincidences and have little to do with the halvenings.

Global M2 money supply has actually been having its own "4 year cycles" as of late, and those cycles have been reflected in most risk assets, including bitcoin
