Usually I never recommend anything for derivative markets for crypto traders but if you are ready to risk then I guess you are right that high risk traders may opt for taking long positions in derivative markets with relatively small leverages. Small leverages can help to delay liquidation instead of what OP was mentioning about adding excess funds.

But, we are not suggesting to only one person or any particular person. I mean open discussion is for all type of people hence we need to suggest the best and cannot stay calm just because of "not my money".

Not investing in any memecoin is a smart move, not many people would be smart enough to stay away from the latest hypes and for a while memecoins were the biggest hype of the crypto world and too many people got into it.

People who have absolutely no idea about crypto got into dogecoin for a while, and not like they lost money neither, they made a lot of profit from it when the time came and that caused them to believe in it a lot more. The ones that sold and took their profit are happy and they think they did the right thing, and if they stayed in profit then they really did do the right thing. But many that kept on holding lost most of their money and that's a trouble for the market.

We will always have cycles in crypoto where the price would go down and we would not be able to actually see it going up if we just sell it, we need to hold it so we could face the period when it goes up as well. I personally hold it right now as much as I can and I believe that it will keep on going higher and higher, no matter how low it goes, I just tell myself to wait longer and it will get higher.

This is why it's quite important to never lose hope in bitcoin. If you lose your hope, then bitcoin will not care about it, but you will lose when it goes up. I will never lose hope, and I will always trust that it will go up a lot when the time comes.

I know some of my friends who are all into both self trading and bot trading. It is kind of diversification in their view as results from cryptocurrency trading is not always same. As per overall performances by manual and bot trading, some of my friends shared like they are able to end up a month in profits which helps them to live out of cryptocurrency trading.

Unlike most other markets in this planet, crypto markets are having long bear market which could be the reason why manual traders are not successful yearly basis. When it is all about balancing your trades across different market conditions then I guess going for bot trading along with your usual trading will help somehow in my opinion as well.

You may go for it for the purposes of diversification after you have reached the threshold levels in cryptocurrency investments.

By directly investing, your risk and rewards will be high and if your are involving through the corporates who are all into crypto adaption then your risk and rewards will be significantly comes down. It must be a passive approach in my view.

Basically I am not planning anything like this as of now. I just wanted to maximize my ROI by utilizing my knowledge on altcoin industry to minimize the risk factors.

But he didn't abandon the coin. He will only abandon Twitter. If Twitter is handed out to another owner, Elon can still use the platform just like before and post shills there about the coin. I wouldn't wonder anymore on why those people seem to be very emotional and worries a lot because they only invested on a risky coin whose gains are only based on the hypes.

If only those people invest on a much better such as Bitcoin then they can attain a peace of mind. Doge coin isn't totally dead but what is the only thing that have died here is the hype. We don't even know if it will be revived again or not. For now, Doge coin can still be use for gambling and paying something but shouldn't be considered for long term hodling/investing.

I agree that no wise investor will go "all at once", it is definitely against to the basics of investment principles. At the same time, I guess every whale investors must be getting FOMO right now as if anyone starts buying in large quantity then they cannot do slow buying for better prices. So, I am sure that Elon might be planning for some portion of that big money for bitcoin investments and they are already into accumulation of bitcoin.

Recently we touched $18k by mid of this month which was an clear indication that whales are in action out of FOMO. This trend will heat up slowly in the new year for sure.

So, in last 2 cycles, 50% fall happened at the end of bearish trend? I am also sure that for the current market sentiment, if any negative news happens right now then we can see a bloodbath easily unlike at the beginning of the same bearish trend. Moreover, I guess it would be easier that any big negative news is capable of dragging bitcoin market up to 50% regardless of beginning or end of bearish trend.

The good thing is, even after a 50% collapse at the end of bearish market, we bounced back; so I agree that we do not need to worry but we can be glad as we are about to sail on green market in real soon.

What about before the halving or during it? We can not stop the people who are excited about it so this will trigger a buying pressure. Same on other coin events. Have you saw what happen to ETH price last time before the merge? It also got boosted right?

That is what I am talking about but unlike to ETH, people won't be disappointed with BTC because the momentum can surely continue. Oh wait, speaking of disappointed which I said earlier, someone will actually going to be disappointed here and they are none other than the bitcoin miners because the rewards that they are going to get are once again going to be halved. This is why it's called halving.

Agree, now in this season they are having decline in quality which is surely hurting them with having defeats against weaker sides and attack is also not good with defence is also having few laps here now time to bring few changes which must for bringing better results but management and coach both are not doing things for right direction as we are watching Barcelona and Real Madrid maintaining their squad and bringing quality players which giving them better response but sadly here Simeone is not doing any change and his strategy is also now not helping for bringing changes before break they have only one win from their last five games which is surely not good for them hopefully in this break they have better strategy which will help them for having positive changes.

They can't get someone right now, can they? It's not the transfer window right now as far as I know and not for a while longer. After that, depending on how Gabriel Jesus feels then maybe they could get another player.

How long will he be out? Last I know was like 3 months for the injury and it has been nearly a month already since that was said, which means only 2 months left. If that timing is correct then they shouldn't really get someone for only 2 months absent. If they could hold off for 2 months that would be better. However, if they are looking to get someone for long term, like even if Jesus was healthy type of deal, then it would be reasonable for sure.

Maybe that is the issue with the metaverse projects? I mean they can't really be ever over, because if you say "this is it" people will start to mock it and leave easily and the ones who are haven't entered yet will have a good reason not to enter at all. I have seen better graphics on single solo developer built games than what decentraland had, so it is quite possible that it would never take off.

I understand there are some "game" games, like NFT and metaverse all combined and people hope that you could live there in the game 12-15 hours a day and make enough tokens to sell and make a living like that. But to say that metaverse would be an alternative reality where you will live? You need better graphics for sure.

Are we 100% sure about that? I mean you are assuming that exchanges learned their lesson and won't do it anymore after FTX bankrupted, but if FTX can't then some other could still do it? I am not saying it didn't stop some of them, I am sure some of them learned how dangerous it could be and reversing their actions nowadays but that is just a guess on how many because I do not believe that all of them stopped, only some of them probably stopped.

This is why I am guessing that the best thing we could do right now would be hoping that we are on the right exchanges that doesn't do it and not on the ones that are doing it. Maybe it got lesser compared to past, but it must be still around and still being done by some.

Honestly, I haven't spent "that" much on Christmas, I just spent good enough, like some gifts, small gifts at those and some food and wine and so forth which were all come to like $200 at most and that's it. If that is a lot then it is a lot and I don't care, because I have very few days when I can celebrate with the group of people I love, and that didn't really disrupted my finance a lot neither.

Sure I have to postpone one of my debts just one month further but that's really not a big deal if you consider everything together, it is still a fine situation. I have to say time and moments are a lot more valuable than money, because you can get the money back, you can't get the time back.

People are acting as if scammers do not exist in the fiat world and that is the thing that bothers me the most. I mean fiat world has a lot more scammers and it happens every single day, so much so that there are companies out there who scam people constantly. This means that crypto of course has scammers, because everywhere and every currency has scammers, even non currency related stuff could be used for scamming as well, like scamming for influence or power as well.

All in all, you are not going to stop people from lying to get more. That is the nature of humanity and it will continue to do so until end of times. I am guessing that the best thing we could do right now would be just focusing on ourselves and how to prevent getting scammed.

Aaron Gordon doesn't dunk the way he used to, most people who dunk amazingly back in the day, become not so great players later on, like aaron gordon or blake griffin or westbrook. I know this is a sad thing to say, but the guy we all love and think as a big all-star name right now, Ja Morant, will be the same as well.

He looks great for not, but he will lose his hopes in 7-8 years and will become a boring player to watch eventually. Shooters keep staying good, rebounders too, passers too, but if all you do is jump super high and be athletic then you are going to lose that in no time and will become a player that is slow and useless.

It is quite difficult in this circumstances, that's why it is not talked about all that much. During Obamas first term, he ran against all clean slate opponents. Bush couldn't be elected again, so Republicans had to pick someone that could win, they had to provide a brand new nominee, and same with democrats as well. So both sides had to find a "new" person, and the "first black president" made everyone go out to vote, he got the highest votes out of anyone until Biden did this last time.

So, it is clear that we are talking about a bit of an advantage there. Now? We may have 2 presidents running for re-election, it's hard to crack that.

Really entertaining match by these two with Renegades faces first defeat in this season with fail to achieve target like 122 is surely a big setback for them because early their bowlers done amazing stuff and restricted Hobart Hurricanes by this total Akeel Hosein and David Moody were the heroes as both done good stuff with not allowed any Hobart Hurricanes batsmen to play freely but in reply Renegades batting also faltered by Shadab Khan, Riley Meredith and other bowlers those restricted them and win their second match of this season which is really amazing stuff for the Hurricanes.

Now tomorrow we will be having off day in BBL due to 25th December things could be again on their best with Boxing Day matches which could be full of entertainment for the fans around the world.

You are right on the topic that you may not want to share when you are alive, that much is true, it all depends on the family situation. I am happy to share it with my wife, not that share cares lol, but at least I could share it and let her know how to cash it out in case of anything bad.

But, some other person may not feel comfortable with it, and there are even people who sign prenup before they get married, meaning they won't even pay money after divorce. However, letting someone know what to do, your wife or your husband or children, or even lawyer if you have to is important because otherwise that money is forever gone, and that would be a shame.

I agree, it's quite reasonable amount to expect to be, it's realistic and it's not fantasy levels neither. I believe that it should not be that much of a trouble if we just go on a short bull run burst, it could possibly happen the way we want it to happen and I am guessing that it's not going to be too tough on anyone neither.

I am pretty sure it's going to be something that is a good level above 20k, because we have been under 20k for a while and everyone wants to see it go above, and not enough people are willing to keep it down, it's obvious from the fact that they can't keep it under 20k financially anymore, so they create chaos and gossip and rumours on media now to keep it under, which won't work for too long.
