Bitcoin is the best investment you can make for the next 30-40 years in my opinion. There are some traditional investments that are a good option for a diversified portfolio. You can buy stocks, I specifically like managed funds like the S&P500. Historically it’s done very well.

I don’t really like precious metals to be honest but each to their own. Do your own research before investing in anything obviously.

Pigeons are really smart animals, they can be trained really well. Some people race them over long distances for sport. This kind of thing happens all the time, it’s a good way for criminals to get drugs into maximum security prisons.

Weirdly the drug trade is big even in jail & obviously it’s tough to smuggle drugs in. Our feathered friends are obviously very useful to these guys. I just hope they get fed well & looked after.

Far too young to die, even if it was drugs or not. She leaves behind 4 children, Riley, Benjamin, Finley and Harper.
I don’t think it’s nice for anybody to start mocking the dead so even if she was suffering from addiction, let’s allow her to RIP.

May her family grieve without people disrespecting her on the internet. Far too young, tragic & needless loss of life.

RIP Lisa Marie, have a ball up there with your legendary Father.

Seems really stupid, I hope the person who send these bitcoin is a whale because that is a lot of money to send to an address that will never use those bitcoin. Craig Wright has lost access to those keys (i’m kidding, I’m kidding ).

Every lost or inaccessible bitcoin is a donation to us though so thanks anon
That’s 4 more bitcoin effectively out of circulation & off the market

Ethereum has a good track record over a long time. Lots of coins/tokens are tied to it so I don’t see any risks at the moment. The only fear would be if Vitalik rugged the community by selling a large % of his holdings. Ethereum is his baby so the possibility of that is very low in my opinion.

Ethereum actually did a higher ROI % than bitcoin in the last bull run so I think there is a very high ceiling for it in future years. In my opinion Ethereum is a good investment.

I’ve never had a kidney stone but my sister had gallstones & had to have the whole gallbladder removed. She said it was the worst pain she’s ever experienced. It’s important to be aware of your body & see your doctor if you experience any ached or pains.

Kidney stones are very unpleasant but not life threatening. They’re usually diagnosed by having an ultrasound scan.

Just be aware of any changes you see & report them to a doctor. Delaying seeing a doctor can cause you much more problems & much more pain.

A nice breakout today, as I type this the price of bitcoin is $18,867. We’re up over 7.5% in the last 24 hours. Nobody can complain about seeing a rise like that in the current financial situation

It’s difficult to say if the bear market is over. We need to see a much more convincing rise before we can be sure. I still think we will go lower in 2023 at some point but obviously the higher we go, the less confident I’ll be about that.

Let’s see where we are at the end of Q1 2023. There should be a much clearer picture then.

I bought some salmon today & it was £8.50 which seems ridiculous. In my opinion the price of everything has soared. I admit, I don’t use low budget supermarkets but everything seems to be drastically more expensive than it was prior to COVID.

I guess we all just have to wide the wave & hope that in a couple of years inflation is back to 2% annually.
Diesel (gas fuel) prices are going down a little but are still significantly higher than a couple of years ago.
Energy bills (home heating & electric) are like 3 x higher than pre pandemic too.

It depends if you believe that Binance is 100% solvent & will never have issues like FTX, Celsius, 3AC. Do you trust CZ? BNB obviously relies heavily on the future & longevity of Binance. If you fully trust that Binance & CZ are honest & fully solvent then sure, BNB is fine to stay invested in.

Make your own decisions though, don’t just go off what people on here say. You are responsible for your own investment strategy & success.

That’s crazy, living in Tokyo is very, very expensive so I’m not sure if $7,500 is enough to tempt people to leave, who are obviously already quite comfortable financially.

I can see the temptation to live in a quieter, slower paced city or town. I’m just not sure how many people this government offer will appeal to as current Tokyo citizens are already kinda rich. It costs a lot to live there.

Maybe there is a minority in the city who suffer from a level of poverty, this offer could appeal to them.

People of extreme wealth, power & utility always get rules & laws bent to help them. Ronaldo being there is huge for Saudi Arabia, it will bring them a lot of attention & interest. I saw something where the team he joined now has more instagram followers than a number of big European clubs which is crazy really.

I also saw it being reported that Ronaldo will potentially help lead Saudi Arabia’s bid for the World Cup to be hosted there. Maybe that’s the real reason why he is being paid so much tp be there. The business opportunities & exposure that comes from hosting a World Cup are huge as Qatar is now finding.

This type of scam isn’t new. It’s been happening for a while, most likely it’s able to be carried out by hackers if you unfortunately download malware on your device. When you copy an address to send crypto to he/she is able to switch around some letters/numbers in the middle of the address & send to an address they are in control of which is very similar to the one you use. It’s commonly known as a clipboard hack.

The only way to minimise the risk here is don’t go on shady sites using a device you use for crypto. Don’t download movies, torrents, files. Don’t use a VPN, don’t use the device for pretty much anything other than crypto. You shouldn’t be using the device you use for crypto for regular browsing & leisure. You need a seperare device for crypto, it’s the best way to keep it clean.

Inflation may lessen in coming years but the price of goods will never return to what they were, for example 10 years ago. I don’t see how the fiat monetary policy is sustainable over say, 200 more years. Wages don’t keep pace with inflation so it’s inevitable that eventually fiat will collapse like a house of cards.

Just by knowing & being aware of the above gives you an advantage. Bitcoin beats inflation, it is by its design, a deflationary asset. Plan & prepare accordingly for what is coming.

Buy BTC.

It’s like any of these meme coins, they are high risk but carry a high reward. It’s not a good idea to go running after green candles but this race could still have a while to run. What I mean is, it could still have a higher upside potential.

Don’t risk a large % of your portfolio in this but a small allocation could be OK. I just prefer not to invest in large supply coins/tokens where a big % of supply is owned by a small amount of investors/developers.

Some people make a lot of money in coins like this but the risk is that the large bag holders dump on you & you are not able to react quick enough which results in you being rugged. Just DYOR & be careful out there.

Most successful people in life suffer many setbacks, denials, defeats, losses before they succeed. I guess nothing really good ever comes easily. Success usually always comes after gruelling hard work & many set backs.

You might fall down in life but you have to keep getting back up to fight again & again & again.

Human beings are tougher & more resilient than you think. We can achieve anything if we are dedicated & push ourselves to the limit.

Please don’t invest in BSV, it’s one of the very worst shitcoins on the market. It’s propped up by billionaire Calvin Ayre. Craig Wright is just the face of the whole drama. It’s been an absolute joke from the very beginning, you don’t need me to tell you that CW is definitely not Satoshi Nakamoto. BSV has a small army of delusional, dedicated followers who are convinced CW is Satoshi.

Amongst the various disingenuous legal battles that the BSV team have been and continue to be involved in, they’ve proved themselves to be liars but also lowlives.

Seriously the sooner that scam-coin goes to zero the better. It’s been a stain on cryptocurrency for a significant amount of time now.

Losing a family pet is always such a sad time for the family. That’s what they are, a genuine member of the family.
You will be very upset for quite a while but just be aware that things will get better. Time is a good healer.

In the future you will be able to reminisce about the good times that you had with your cat. Nobody can take those memories from you, cherish them because they will stay with you forever.

This forum is a good place, full of mostly good people. You can be confident to come here & share real life feelings with us & you will get mostly good advice from the caring, genuine people here.

Most normies don’t rate bitcoin & will tell you not to invest in it. Most normies are also wage slaves & will spend their entire lives working in a miserable 9-5 job, paying ridiculous rates on a mortgage until they’re in their 60’s & able to retire.

I prefer to ignore these people & invest in cryptocurrencies, specifically bitcoin.

Many people think the bottom could be in now, I am hopeful but not convinced. We are experiencing a bit of a relief rally currently. Bitcoin is back over $17,000 & some alts have risen as much as 25%.

I think stay vigilant, keep some cash spare because there is every chance we could still go lower. It’s still so difficult to tell where we are in the market & if the bottom is in. We won’t know for a while.
