Well price of Doge is now up 4% after it was down more then 23% in the last week. Today is Doge Day and there is some very 'bullish' predictions for new price of the meme coin.

This 'bullish' article says we maybe are preparing for gains of 350%. https://cryptodaily.co.uk/news-in-crypto/cryptopotato:dogecoin-price-prediction-is-doge-gearing-up-for-a-350-surge

Well, we did not see too much movement for the good or for the bad. I think this does show there was alot of hype for this bitcoin halving.
And I think this 4th ever halving did make more attention because of recent price of Bitcoin. I did think we would see some big gains after the halving but the price did not move very much.

We do hear about the crypto Millionaires that did get rich from investing in the meme coins. But how does he know to buy millions of these coins that is not worth anything, to now he is a Millionaire.

There is so many meme coins all we need to do it get lucky and pick the right one. Then we can make so much profit it is ok if the other investments in our portfolio don't make huge gains. But we have to be very lucky for that to happen to us.

Well if there is some history for bitcoin halving then xrp can make some big gains. If it has same pattern from 202o then we can see price of $5.2 per token.
We do not know if there will be the upward trend after bitcoin halving. But now we have to wait only few days for it.

Well now we do know it is not going to happen this way. Bitcoin halving in just a few days so we will not see a price of 100,000 for each Bitcoin.

But I do think we will see big gains in this year but not so soon as next Bitcoin halving. I do not have a exit strategy for when it does happen. I will still hodl my coins.

Well now we are getting closer to the bitcoin halving in now a few days. And Litecoin does show us some signs up volatility around this.

There is on chain metrics that does support a big increase before the halving.  https://ambcrypto.com/making-the-case-for-litecoins-breakout-before-bitcoins-halving/
 

For me it is important for us to have a good mind set more then skill set. If we do not have our minds on right then we will no be able to some things in life.

We can learn a skill set. But for us to have a mindset is to make us more positive and for us to have a positive outlook on life. To me this is more important then a good skill set.

Well now Ripple did unlock 500 Million xrp tokens from the escrow. For them to do this in middle of a month did make investors wonder why it did that.
It is because it is normal for them to unlock 1 Billion xrp tokens on first day of every month. It has done that since year 2017.

Well Litecoin did lose alot of its profits now in this correction. It did lose more then 25% of the marketcap in just last 7 days. But it is still a token in my crypto portfolio it is not dead.
There is still fast transaction speeds for it. And the fees to send LTC is only just a few satoshis. There is double the transaction size on the network so it means whales moving coins.

Well when my nephews are sick we like to give them some soup. It does loosen mucus in the throats and does help them with rehydration.
Chicken soup with some rice or noodles. And then some vegetables in it and spices it is healthy and will make you feel not sick anymore. I will not put some spicy food in it like those jalapenos peppers. 

More 'bullish' news for investors that hodl XRP in their portfolios. Ripples new USD-backed stablecoin will be some competition for the most popular stabelcoin USDT tether.

And many experts do believe the new stabelcoin and xrp tokens will be able to coexist. Main goal of ripple is cross boarder payments so new stablecoin is going to help in this.

I have some really bad memories of my childhood. I do not want to go into so much details but it does involve my parents not being good parents for me.

Not going to be able to get rid of these bad memories. I have tried to talk about them with Professionals but they still appear in my mind. It is easier for us to deal with good memories and not the bad memories. 

Well I think we have to be very careful if we give our friends and family crypto investing advice. Investing in crypto is not like you are investing in anything else.
It is so volatile and it might not be best investment for first time investing. I do not like to give my friends investing advice.
My family member got mad at me when his Bitcoin was down and did panic sell. And now he tells me about this when I see him.

Well I do think there is so many meme coins now. That there is good chance that most of them will turn into nothing but shitcoins.
But I am interested when a major token does a meme coin. Solana meme coins are big interest for people and new meme coin called Slothana. 
And there is some people already who is making millions trading it. https://crypto.news/traders-think-slothana-could-be-the-next-big-solana-meme-coin/

My strategy for this bull run is a very easy one. I am not going to look at my crypto portfolio cause I do not want to get fomo and sell my Bitcoins.

The more that I do check my wallet the more chance it is I am going to panic sell. Or if price of Bitcoin does get to certain price I might sell. I do not want to sell my Bitcoins during this 'bull run' when halving is so close now.

Well now it does look like to hodl this coin is the best idea we can make. This coin is making very big profits in the last month now worth more then $600 each.
BNB is going to undergo a hard fork next week. I do think this will make the price make more profit so still good idea to hodl this coin. It does play big role in DeFi and this is the future.

Well I do think if we have more money than we are going to be happier. You do not see so many very rich people in the world who is not happy.

Does money buy you happiness no I do not think so. But it is alot more easier to make it in the world if you are rich instead of poor. The person with money does have more opportunity that can bring him happiness.

I will stay away from any of the meme coins that are pumping. It now does seem like there is a new meme coin every day and we do not know which of them will become a 'rug pull'. I almost did invest in Pepe. I would have lost so alot if I did decide to do that.

I did like it when there was only some meme coins. Doge is going to be my favorite one to hodl in my portfolio. But not we see so many of them. And not many of them are real projects with a real use case so I am careful to invest with new meme coin projects.

For me I am a little worried about the next Bitcoin Halving event in less then 10 days. We just did see a new all time high for price of Bitcoin.
And now I really do wonder how much more higher we will go. There is many people that says we are going to see 100k per Bitcoin before year is over.
But I do feel there will need to be some correction. We can not just keep going higher without it happening.
I am still 'bullish' now and think we will see more gains soon. But I do not know if we are not going to see price of 100k before the correction.
