When the chips are down, the bitcoin you have in your wallet may be your last hope, your saviour. The list of reasons why one may consider selling off either some portion of all their bitcoins varies from one person to another and it is actually endless. For example, I once heard of a woman who sold her bitcoins to secure the release of her husband from kidnappers. Personally, I wouldn't hesitate to sell off my bitcoins in a life-or-death situation. I can always get them back no matter how long it will take.

The first goal of trading shouldn't be to make profit.It should be to management risks. It should be to try out those trading strategies live and see how they work in the real world. To know what works and what doesn't and to adapt or modify it as the person sees fit.Any trader who makes profits on their first trade would end up being carried away and may not be ready to face loss.

I agree. I love the color blend. Super beautiful.

In this forum, users have used their Bitcoin to get items for the needy, for school kids in rural communities, for the provision of clean drinking water in hard to reach communities in west Africa and many more. I personally love seeing these good gestures. It warms my heart because I wish I could do it if only I had the time. This is a time of sober reflection for both Muslims and Roman Catholics alike because of the great spiritual exercise they are carrying out.

What to eat after breaking the fast is something that I feel worries most of them especially those without any means. But this highly commendable gesture from the OP will go a long way in strengthening their faith. Thank you for the gift of Bitcoin and the sacrifice.

Never have I heard that it will be mandatory for old people to use Bitcoin. Besides, Bitcoin doesn't need to exist alone neither would I consider it win if Bitcoin displaces our local fiat. Bitcoin should be able to coexist with the fiat and people should have the option to  choose which to use and when to use it. By people I mean old people.Whenever this happens, there would be ease for them to have and save their Bitcoin. There would be more Bitcoin machines and a whole lot of other interesting innovative technology to help old people navigate how to use Bitcoin. It shouldn't be a thing that should perturb anyone at the moment.

Lastly, if you have old people around you, now would sound like a great time to chip in one or two things about Bitcoin. Just some light tips nothing serious that would immediately cause them to be disinterested.

Yes. In this age and time that we live in, it will be too naive of anyone to not have at least a side hustle or a skill that can be turned into a side hustle when the need arises. At the beginning, do your 9 - 5 and keep doing it while you're building your business and personal brand. For example, do your 9-5 and return home and do 7 - 10 on your business or side hustle or just at improving your craft.

In fact, the goal shouldn't be to retire and live on your retirement savings, the goal should be to retire to your business that you have spent your time investing in.  This should be the goal, whether the goal is investing in learning Bitcoin trading, gold or other precious metals, real estate, agriculture whatever, that should be it.

Not trying to beat a dead horse but hey man, we get it you but bitcoin for your baby, it is great and a commendable act but honestly, you do not need any validation from the community. You have found what works and what you believe would have a positive impact on the future of your kid, you need no one to clap for you or cheer you on. Just go ahead and DCA daily, month, yearly as much as you like to your convenience. You do not want anyone thinking you are hunting for merits or better still a harsh comment.

I will tell you what you can do instead. If you encounter any issues say wallet, security, Hold or sell off with regards to your baby's investment, you can always bring it up here and the community will be glad to help you out. Aside this please do not try to seek validation here it actually irritates some users. I am sorry if this sounds too harsh.

This is like do what I say and not what I do. It is funny because in the two weeks or one month we would read another story or interview of someone whose bitcoin was wiped off because they threw caution to the wind and then went ahead to buy their hardware wallet from a so-called trusted online vendor with "five-star rating". I feel bad for the guy, and I truly hope that people learn from this silly, avoidable, and costly mistake.

When a person can't find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.” Viktor E. Frankl. I have never forgeotten this quote from the first day I read it. Taking alcohol is not good or bad. Everything should be done in moderation. But your friends seems to be overdoing it and I could guess that their lives - personal, career, family, and relationship lives would be affected terribly. It is not good for them.


You on the other hand have to do away with these friends if they add nothing positive to your life. Despite you all being married, sooner than later, you will come under peer pressure or influence to join them becasue you wouldn't want to feel like the odd person out or you will be tired of them teasing you.

Get new friends who
- encourage you to leave a healthly lifestlye - exercise
- encourage you to spend time with your family and not away from them
- talk and exchange business ideas with you
- talk about making an impact in your society -  mentoring young boys on how to be the perfect gentlemen
- encourage you to acquire new skill or an additional source of income.

I think that there are three types of trading strategies categories.
- Classic: These are strategies that can never change. They are based on timeless, tested, tried and true trading principles that have been since the inception of trading. They can never change or be modified because once done right it brings it the desired reward.

-Old: These are just old trading strategies that used to work sometime in the past but do not work anymore. They were like the hot cake them and people easily followed them, but they were developed to for the different market to bring and so as the market changes, they become obsolete.

-New: These are strategies that comes up when old strategies are abandoned. They can also be used in addition to the classic strategies to make them work better. New strategies are like tips and tricks. They work at the moment and soon may stop working. They need to be modified frequently to help them stay relevant.

Why would anyone share who is not on their death bed or has a gun pointed at them, share their private keys with a family or friend. Trust and sharing have levels and this is the level where one has to draw the line.


Honestly, I have most of my password on remember on my computer. I find that it is less stressful when I have to log in. However, I am super cautious about the type of websites where I have it on remember.


I have two computers. I use one my most of my crypto and bitcoin related business and other for regular stuff. The one used for crypto related matters is kept in my private and I only have access to it. I don't share it with any other person. It is highly restricted. While the other one could be used by every other person.



This was one mistake I made in the beginning with Trust Wallet. Since I didn't know what else to do, I saved the seed phrase on email out of connivence or so I thouhgt. I am glad that my mentor cautioned me out it and I found a secure place to save it to. Even though my account has never been compromised, I still feel it is the safest thing to do.


I do not like authenticators because I am always scared that if I lose my device which has the authentication app, I would have lost all my access to my accounts. And I do not want that to be the case with me. I prefer two-factor authenticator to it.

I can say, $1 per day takes you closer to your dream.
I am excited for you because I feel that you have set a smart goal. It is clear. It is specific. It is something than can be achieve and within your means. There is no pressure whatsover on it.
This is worthy of emulation, and I encourage every other person who thinks they need to have a huge sum of money to invest in bitcoin to give it a trial. 

MLM is the devil. In the past, I have been deceived and I have lost a lot of money to it. I remembered I joined one of those platforms out of peer pressure. I saw that my friends were every talking about how much they had earned from just the little amount they had put in and I thought I didn't want to be the odd one left out. I signed up using their referral link and in less than 7 days, the site crashed. I lost and lost big.


So, I could understand my hesitation and caution I took before venturing into the bitcoin space. I didn't need anyone to convince me with receipts of money. I wanted to find it out myself. I researched a whole lot and ask plenty questions. YouTube was almost like my classroom because I would spend hours there. When I thought I already had a fair idea. I jumped it and I have never regretted it.

First game it's cancelo who was huge second it's Nuno. It's going to be really monstrous when we put both on the same game. Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes, who play higher, really changes the whole team. We talk a lot about Cristiano but I think he is there especially because he is very complementary with Felix who is clearly at ease.


Denmark went in being the favourites.
Infact, they dominated the game until the 72 minutes when the tables turned when Kazakhstan became magical. It was just unbelievable to watch them destroy Denmark in the closing minutes of the games. I love this game because it is just absolutely unpredictable. The most important rule is to never look down on your opponents.

I'd be totally fine, mentally, emotionally and financially if bitcoin crashes today. Absolutely nothing to be worried about. I have a great life outside the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Business even though small is going great. I got other skills that are in high demand too. Bitcoin isn't my life; it is life one of my side hustles. If it crashes, I'd take whatever I have learned and apply it somewhere else.

I agree to an extent. However, I must caution you to not give a messianic status to bitcoin.
I would say that it is one of the biggest means to fulfilling our childhood dreams.
Speaking about childhood dreams, I have often fantasized that we get to continuously run our generators that provides electricity for our farm using milisatoshis that it instead of fossil fuel.
The idea is that whenever, we start getting low on it, we generate a code and input it on the device and then it can generate electricity for another 7 days, 2 weeks, one month or whatever duration we may have paid for.
Please do not come for me, it is still a crazy idea in progress.
