Tragic event unfolding in Turkey, my heart goes out to all the families who have lost loved ones. Life is not fair sometimes, one of the the worst things is that this came out of nowhere. Nobody had a warning about this, nobody could prepare for it, nothing could be done.

Mother nature is so cruel at times, this reminds me of the Tsunami that took so many lives years ago. All we can do is pray for the people who have lost their lives & hope the grieving families get all the help they need.

Interesting, it might be a good idea to start allocating a small % of your portfolio into SHIB then? It did so well a couple of years back, I do think it has potential to have a second epic run though, similar to Dogecoin in 2020/21. This is definitely something to keep an eye on, hopefully it will create another hype faze. Investors can be excited about the potential of this..

Definitely not a good idea to even think about storing crypto on browser enabled wallets. Seems like a recipe for disaster, don’t even consider it. Use cold storage or Electrum, Bitcoin Core etc. Nobody should store their wealth in a hot wallet, there are too many attack vendors to ward off. Your stash needs to be offline, on a paper wallet or a safer wallet like Electrum or Btc Core.

I think there is a lot of vanity & narcissism in these relationships. They’re not regular people, money & fame changes them plus they often spend a long time apart from their partner, in different parts of the world, working on films or music, sport etc.

I’d rather be broke & with someone I love than be rich & have life surrounded by material things. Obviously there are the exception to the rule & some celebrity relationships stand the test of time.

Twitter is full of scams, not just crypto related but fiat too. If something seems too good to be true then it probably is. We have influencers, people like Logan Paul rugging investors with shitcoins or NFT projects. You are responsible for your own investments but obviously paid promotions can catch your eye.

You need to be vigilant & keep your wits about you. Nobody is going to protect you so you need to do your own research into any potential investment. Do not get tricked or scammed by snake oil salesmen.

Price currently $23150 & I fear that we could fall sharply & regest $20000. The pump from $16000 was impressive but it happened fast. We need to successfully bounce off $20000 or there will be fears that this is just a bear market rally, meaning the bottom is not in & lower lows are coming.

Weekly close tonight will be important. I’m looking for $22500 to hold otherwise we could be in for a world of pain. Avidly watching charts as the day closes out.

I saw The Menu & Smile recently. I’m not going to spoil either for you by telling you anytging about them. I recommend both though, I’d give The Menu 6.5/10 & Smile a solid 6/10. Neither are classics but definitely worth a watch if you can stream them for free.

Maybe you’ve just been unlucky, there are lots of bitcoin meet ups in different countries. The people you’ve spoken to might be introvert & not want to meet people from the internet. Maybe they are bitcoin rich & see it as too risky to meet people.

Keep going, you might find people who are more interested in meeting up. I think you’ve just interacted with people who enjoy a level of anonymity which is their right.

I am keen to see Plane starring Gerard Butler, has anybody seen it?

A pilot finds himself caught in a war zone after he's forced to land his commercial aircraft during a terrible storm.

To be honest I don’t like to invest in much other than crypto if I am honest. This is a shot out of left field but it is good to invest on ourselves & by that i mean look after ourselves. We should eat well, spend quality time with family, do things we enjoy. Try to relax when not at work.

If we are talking strictly about physical things to invest in that aren’t crypto then real estate is good, you rarely lose money over time on real estate.

CW just won’t stop will he, the lengths this guy goes to have no limits. As said the reports are that he wants to fork bitcoin so he can get the 100,000+ early bitcoin’s that he says are his 

The scary thing is that this guy has a huge army of people who say they believe he is Satoshi on Twitter & probably elsewhere too. Can people be that dumb or are they just BSV investors turning a blind eye to his nonsense because they want their bags pumped.

Surely nobody sane believes his claims?

My kids are too young to fully understand bitcoin but they will know when it’s time. I will take a lot of time explaining everything to them. They will be very wealthy when they inherit my estate. Any kid who gets left bitcoin when they are 30 or older will be incredibly lucky. They will have a life that many of us didn’t & that’s what you aim to do as a parent.

Put bitcoin in cold storage for your children & when they are a little older, explain to them how to redeem it.

I keep hoping he will be sent to jail for a long time. These cases can take a long time though, we can only hope that justice is done & he is imprisoned for the fraud he carried out that ruined so many lives.

I know he made large donations to some of those in power but surely that’s not going to save him. The only way he avoids a long term is if the whole thing was a ploy by the FED to create this drama to create a perfect reason to regulate crypto hard. In that case he would have essentially been a paid actor, a plant.

Creating new streams of income is not easy, it’s not just something that can be started & guaranteed to continue long term. You can invest in stocks, crypto, real estate but you need a substantial amount of capital to start with. For the average guy it might not be possible but the first thing you need is a steady job. Minimise your spending so you can save up that all important initial capital.

I think it’s a good idea to risk a small % of your available capital yes. The case against the SEC caused a lot of FUD so most people have steered away from XRP. The fundamentals are the same though, it is a good investment with good utility. It has the potential to bring massive profits. For this reason I would be happy to buy now & wait, in the hope that XRP wins the court case & goes on a big run.

I am most certainly holding most of my coins, this is not the time to sell. Now is the time to buy if you are able to.
Never sell during deep down turns unless you really need the money to live. Bitcoin will rise again, we will see new all time highs. You just need to be patient & add to your stash of coins if you are able to.

Panicking gets you nowhere, the smart money accumulates during times like this to prosper in the coming years.

I don’t like to think about death & negative things like that. Obviously we all die eventually, it’s guaranteed but best to be positive & put your mind at ease. My advice is to surround yourself with positive people & do things you enjoy. Don’t waste your life because you only get one.

Try not to have any regrets, be a good person & do right by your family. Try & leave a good impression on people whilst you are alive on this world.

I’ve done well in life but I didn’t listen much at school. I knew that most of the things taught aren’t relevant in the real world. Once you get past about 14 year old math & English, it’s pointless trash that you get taught. My advice would be to pick a subject or a trade & put everything you have into that. You don’t need to be working hard in French class or music if you have no interest or desire to pursue a career in those fields.

 

People say this every halving, that it might not have any effect on the price. If something is in demand & you halve the supply then it is going to become more valuable. It always takes a little while for the full effect of diminished supply to be shown in price but it always happens. This will be my 3rd cycle coming up, I’ve seen it all before.
We will see a 6 figure bitcoin price before the end of 2025.

Everybody has to start somewhere, welcome to the club. You may have started small but congrats. Now is time to educate yourself more on bitcoin & really go down the rabbit hole. A good place to start is to read the original bitcoin whitepaper.

You need to research self custody of your bitcoin. Set up a DCA (dollar cost averaging) plan to buy bitcoin regularly. You’re going to need a lot more to make a big positive change to your life.
