None of us are sure of the reason for this sale, all we can do is to speculate. It is possible that these whales have gotten to their projected profit margin and they want to sell and make gains. And other whales want to buy at the current price because they are targeting the halving season. It is also possible that these coins are bought by some of the firms that applied for spot Bitcoin ETF approval in the US.

There is also a general belief that altcoins give more profit than Bitcoin. So these whales may be diversifying to altcoins believing that as the price of bitcoin gains during the halving period, these altcoins will gain triple or even more profit. It is also possible that some of these coins were moved because of strict regulations. Recently Kuwait banned crypto activities, so many investors will have to move their investments to avoid sanctions.

We can keep giving more reasons because we don't know the reason for the movement of these crypto assets.

My journey in Bitcoin started here. And I have not regretted joining this forum because I have been exposed to the basics of bitcoin. The forum has so much information on all aspects of the crypto sector that can be beneficial to anyone interested. This community also consists of early Bitcoin adopters so they have a wealth of experience. No questions about Bitcoin and other coins that cannot be answered in this forum. And the good part of it is that these top members are ever willing to teach, give directions and make corrections. This forum doesn't only teach about cryptocurrencies you can learn about the economy, politics, communication skills, and many more. It has also grown to be a community where people from different countries, religions, and professions connect.

Bitcoin is an alternative payment system that promotes privacy and decentralization. Bitcoin has the potential of becoming one of the dominant currencies, especially when it becomes less volatile but I am not sure it will become the only currency. It will keep existing with fiat and people will have the opinion of using anyone.

Your comparison between Saylor and Peter and Paul is funny. Saylor is promoting and protecting his investment because he wants to make financial gains. While Peter and Paul were promoting the Gospel because of eternal life. But I have to also confirm that Saylor is doing a great job. As he is promoting his Bitcoin asset, it is also having a good impact on the ecosystem.

Your claim that African nations hold so much potential based on natural resources and population strength is true. But these resources are not reflected in the standard of living of the people on the continent. Most unbanked people in Africa are poor and have no need for banks because they have nothing to save. Lack of basic amenities and illiteracy will not give bitcoin a good opportunity to flourish. Bitcoin will be a leading payment option in Africa if these nations gain some level of development.

The US and European market is interconnected making them depend on each other. Each time the US increases its interest rate it always has some negative impact on the European currency. Just like the US, European nations understand the world economy and they know how to manipulate it for their benefit. We are still expecting the much anticipated BRICS currency that is projected to give these dominant currencies the needed competition.

OP might be getting it wrong if he is measuring the economic power or the worth of a nation's currency by available natural resources. Currently, the most profitable resources are humans and technology. These nations might not gave gold, silver, oil, and gas but they have the brainpower to maximize these resources because of their technological advancement. Currently the artificial intelligence, medical, IT, and electronic private sectors in Europe are far richer than most countries that boast of essential mineral resources.

I don't think it's right to appeal to people to buy Bitcoin. You don't even encourage people to buy, they should be allowed to make their choice. People can decide to invest in order areas apart from bitcoin, so let them make their decisions. If you have the opportunity tell people about Bitcoin and you have done your bit.

Which organization do you want to compete with. They have the funds to buy as much as they can and nobody can stop them because it is a free market. I know there are wealthy bitcoiners but I doubt our capacity to compete with these multi-billion dollar firms. You don't need to buy one bitcoin to be part of the market. Retailers will always have the chance to buy Bitcoin according their capacity. There is no need to rush because there will always be opportunities to buy and sell.

Thank you for this recommendation. DCA investment pattern makes investment easy and spreads the risk. If you have a monthly plan, you will b surprised how much you have earned in one year. Receiving bitcoin payments for selling goods or offering services is a good means of joining the Bitcoin train. Many people wouldn't have had the opportunity to own bitcoin if not for bitcoin-paying services.

Manchester City didn't just relax after their won three trophies last season. Coach Pep kept on improving the team by buying new players. They have invested money to buy quality players like Mateo Kovacic and others to make the team strong. But other clubs are also making tremendous chances to make the EPL competition stiff. City might have a good coach and outstanding players but we can be certain that they will even win a trophy this season because football is unpredictable. Pep might have been winning at least a trophy each season but this season might be different.

Jurgen Klopp is a tactically sound coach and this has shown in the past result of Liverpool. Last season the club has so many challenges such as the departure of Mane, injuries, and an aging midfield. The striking combination of Mane and Salah that have been the powerhouse of Liverpool was disbanded by the departure of Mane to Bayern Munich. The club was then hit by injury problems that sidelined some key players. Also, the failure to use the January transfer to buy new players to replace aging players in the midfield like Henderson and Fabinho affected the team's performance. One can also say that Liverpool was just unfortunate last season.

Detecting AI posts is complicated because there are several detectors with inconsistent results. Some tools will report that a post is AI generated while another result will show that it was written by a human. This will pose a big challenge to the community making it difficult to come to a consensus about posts. These AI tools are designed to copy humans and every day there are advancements in this technology making it difficult to dictate. The AI technological sector is an emerging market that will mature in the future. We hope to have some trustworthy AI tools that can be precise and accurate in detecting works written by bots.

Manually finding AI posts can be very difficult because some users usually edit the results to give them a human face. At first, I kept suspecting that long posters might be using these tools but it turned out to be wrong. This is because some people like doing long posts. I also began to assume that most well-written and error-free posts might be connected to these tools, but it also turned out to be false. I have also seen members that were wrongly accused of using artificial intelligence to write posts because their post was long, looked generic, and error-free. And when the community investigated it turned out that they were written by humans. The bottom line is that there is no known standard to rate AI-generated posts.

Good advice OP. One might not be good at English grammar but we are expected to put effort and improve our writings. Using English grammar software like Grammarly and Whitesmoke online checkers might help correct some errors and some of these software are free online. We should also review our posts to make corrections. Natural English speakers should also be patient with us who are learning how to speak the language. It has not really been easy to become proficient.

A simple grammatical error can change the entire meaning of a sentence. And when readers don't understand some sentences, will be incoherence which will lead to misinformation and most people are not patient enough to read through the lines of some posts. Mistakes happen but we should try to limit it by putting more effort into our posts. But it because a problem when it becomes a common occurrence in our works.

After your calculations, if you discover that you can afford the service and still make some good profit, you can seek a reputable recovery service provider. It will not be also a bad idea to get the service of legal professional if you have a good number of coins. There is a need for a legal document to be signed that states the terms and conditions of service. Nobody can be trusted with money.

Investing in these areas requires basic knowledge. If you don't know how these sectors operate you might end up losing your money. Cryptocurrency has a bigger risk especially when you are dealing with altcoins. Investing in Bitcoin is safer than trading or holding altcoins. Altcoins can easily be manipulated because most of them have a low market cap. Stock exchange and real estate also have some degree of risk.

Investing in a reputable retirement firm is not a bad idea because one day we might not be strong to work full-time. So there is a need to set aside a part of our income no matter how small and invest them in these funds.

Keeping gold and other precious stones is a good investment option because the price is stable and hardly depreciates. It will be a good hedge against inflation. But one challenge is your ability to keep them safe. And keeping it in banks would attract some service charges.

Saving money in banks is a waste of time. The interest from these savings accounts cannot be compared with the rate of inflation in some nations. The money kept in the bank will gradually lose value and become worthless.

Quality education can lead to new skills and higher qualifications. New skills could give a high-paying job or another source of income. Qualifications and certifications can also bring better employment opportunities.

Investment doesn't yield immediate returns because it needs time to grow and mature. If you way instant profit then you will soon be scammed by some get-rich-quick schemes. Every investor needs to be patient to avoid panic sales and FUD.

Every gambler has a peculiar reason for gambling. If you research why people gamble you will have different responses from respondents. Many people gamble because they see gambling as a source of income to meet their basic needs. Their main motivation for gambling is to get quick money. I high number of these set of people are found in poor countries where there is a high rate of unemployment and poverty. These set of people resort to gambling because they have nowhere to get income. While another set of people gamble because of fun and entertainment. And you can find the majority of them are in prosperous nations where unemployment is minimal.

I think the poor gamble more than the poor because most poor people depend on luck to get riches. Some people don't care about hard work but believe in luck. But most of the rich have an understanding of how to get wealth so the don't depend on fate but work hard to get wealth. Many rich people don't also have spare time to gamble but the poor have all the time to engage in betting.

You can attract companies to advertise on your website based on different factors. The first consideration is your content. Your content must be standard and error-free. Some blogs offer nothing good or new to the public. Such websites will have fewer views and no firm will want to advertise on them. What will attract companies to your website is the number of views and how popular your website is. Companies want wider visibility, so to attract them, you should build and increase the online visibility of your website.

If your website contains bitcoin news or information , you can contact the business that offers Bitcoin-related services to your website to evaluate whether it would help them in advertising their product or service. If your website is educational and popular, companies will contact you because they know that your website will help to promote their business.

Based on the further questions OP asked I deduced that he intends to attract companies to advertise on his website so that he can make money from his website. I don't think he wants to run any campaign in the forum. He wants to know about campaign in the forum so that he can apply the same strategy to his website.

From all indications developed nations will continue to depend on underdeveloped nations for manpower until they can solve their problem of underdevelopment. And I guess it will be a herculean task to increase the population in these first-world nations because the current generation of these countries doesn't want to have more children. In China, the years of the implementation of the one-child policy have affected the social structure. People are no longer interested in having children for different reasons. So the overpopulation in most third world nations is a blessing to these developed nations.

I also share your thoughts on the development of modern technology that can mimic human intelligence and abilities. The introduction of artificial intelligence tools, modern machines, and robots can reduce the need for humans in the workplace. It is estimated that AI will take over about 85 million jobs by 2025. But I doubt if these modern technologies will reduce the need for humans because new jobs will also emerge from these innovations.

The Bitcoin market is also controlled by forces of demand and supply, the higher the demand the greater the price, and the lesser the demand the lower the price. When the government makes such an announcement that it is selling a large chunk of bitcoin it also gives rise to FUD. Some investors will begin to dump their coins because of fear of the unknown. But in recent times these news or dumps is having less impact on the market price. Most times the market recovers in a few days. The bitcoin sector is gradually becoming immune to the impact caused by these sales which usually caused the market to nosedive in time past.

FedNow is not a CBDC or connected blockchain technology. It is just a fiat payment system that seeks to promote faster transactions and bypassing of middlemen in payment systems. The service have been existing in Brazil, the United Kingdom, India, and some countries in Europe. Transactions that would have lasted for days to complete can be executed in minutes.

The government is doing everything possible to give people options to focus on fiat transactions. They want to compete with the swiftness of bitcoin transactions, so they are creating alternative payment channels. Making FedNow transactions to be charge directly from the central bank bypassing some intermediaries is targeted at giving people the feeling of privacy. While the free service offered by FedNow is to compete with the relatively cheap transaction cryptocurrency.

The government has the power to freeze funds in commercial banks suspected to be proceeds from crime, money laundering or to be used to fund terrorism. They also have the right to withdraw such funds because the commercial banking system is centralized. CBDCs are not different from fiat banking because they are still controlled by the central bank. The government will not just unilaterally freeze or withdraw from the accounts of citizens unless there is an allegation of financial malpractice. This is not a strategy to reduce people's funds but to control it.

In some countries, if you tell people that you own bitcoin, they will think that you are rich. Such individuals might immediately be a soft target of criminals. As Op said, there is a need to uphold security and privacy. There is no need to engage in open bitcoin awareness in a country where the coin is banned. Some of these laws forbid not only the use of Bitcoin but the spread of information that promotes it. Engaging in bitcoin awareness in such an area is dangerous and could lead to severe punishment.

We are encouraged to engage in the promotion of bitcoin but it should be done considering the laws of the land. And bitcoin education is not by force but by choice. Bitcoin awareness and adoption will keep growing as the currency becomes more influential in the global financial system.

Al Nassr is banned by FIFA from signing new players until they pay Leicester City a £390,000 debt. This should not be a problem for a financially sound club. They should be able to pay the debt without much stress. Saudi league clubs should also be careful because UEFA is not happy with the way players are moving to the Arabian nation. They can be given a strict punishment if any abnormality is dictated from their financial transactions.

It's just a friendly game and a warm up for the next season. Five goals is not a good score but the most important thing is to learn lessons from the game. Al Nassr coach should be able to analyse the game and make the needed changes. The first half was fine with a goalless scoreline but Ronaldo missed a clear chance to put the Saudi side ahead. But it's all good.

We have had different analyses about the implication of population on the economy of a nation. Some economists will argue that the reason for the underdevelopment of most countries is because of overpopulation. Hence they are advised to cut down the population through diverse means like birth control and so on. In other countries, economists are also predicting economic woes because of underpopulation. These nations have been advised to increase the birth rate through diverse means. Some nations are giving citizens diverse welfare packages to increase the number of children they have. Some are encouraging immigration to fill the gaps created by the labor shortages.

A close look at this situation shows that many of these overpopulated nations mostly in Africa and Asia are underdeveloped. While these underpopulated nations are economically buoyant. I think the reason for the poverty of these developing nations is not the population but bad governance and the inability to maximize and distribute available resources equally.  We cannot deny the fact that these overpopulated nations are economically important to these developed nations in terms of human resources. And they contribute immensely to the development of these first-world nations in terms of cheap labour.

How do you think these developed nations will fill vacancies in their nations and get cheap labor if the population of these developing nations is reduced?

I don't always believe what politicians say especially during campaigns but it is good news. Integrating Bitcoin into the monetary policy of a financially strong and politically influential nation like the US is a big boast of bitcoin. He said the dollars will be backed by bitcoin, gold, and silver gradually. He also promised to make the US bitcoin-friendly through tax exemptions and fewer regulations.

We have had some US presidential hopefuls proposing policies to make Bitcoin popular if they become president and the majority of them are Republicans. This news alone is good for Bitcoin and we keep hoping that any of them wins. I have not heard Trump's current views about bitcoin after he called it a scam. Maybe his views have changed after all his predictions failed.
