I think the best thing to do is just to start investing already since that is the time where you are going to learn in your experience, when you start you going to realize the things your read or research.

There is no accurate way to predict how the market will move, but you could probably do that at some point if you are updated in trading daily and you have experience of how the market could react to the news, etc.

You cannot expect the market to just pump overtime for years and not expecting a dump if your a daily trader you could relate where you need to make research and read the news to predict how the movement of the market. It's a risky investment so the best thing is to start right away in my opinion, it just a matter of how you're going to plan your strategy like for example converting to stable coins, knowing what cryptocurrency to invest in, exit strategy, etc.

I do a lot of this passive income in the past years and I think it is a good passive income since you could earn an interest in holding different kinds of the token, but for me, it just wasn't that worth it in my experience and it's also a big risk since you are locking in investment in the website or wallet and its not decentralized meaning you could lose that money if they get hack or something.

For me, it just not the best investment to do since we have something a new concept like NFT's where a little similar, I mean it works for me, and NFT's is more profitable especially if you try blockchain games where is combine with defi where you need to stake and then receive a reward or just straight NFT's.

But still staking cryptocurrency is still great especially if you're aiming for long-term investment and if you invested at this like this where the market is just so low the potential profit in the future was big.

It's a tough journey for this forum but still around after 11 years, The cryptocurrency is getting bigger so a lot of people are also interested in joining the forum and from different countries.

We have a lot of great moderators here in the forum and we have theymos the admin that maintain the forum, We are all in cryptocurrency as well, and doing or dedicating your time in this forum is a big commitment to moderators and members that still here in the forum, I guess it is just because we all win here as we continue our journey we learn and earn at the same time.

The fact that satoshi is the one who started the forum is I think a big factor, where also consider as one of the top cryptocurrency or bitcoin forums out there.

I agree with that, most of the time gambling is just luck and you can't always win when gambling since not all the time is gonna turn on how you wanted to.

But when you gambling there is always a bet that is why it becomes entertaining to a lot of people because there is a chance of winning, gambling would always lead to making money that is just the nature of it.

The problem is when people start seeing it as something like as a job since there was no guarantee you could easily mess your life with that, gambling here in my country was already pretty popular especially online there are a lot of youtube who make gambling sports where you could make a bet.

Most people who sell or panic sells are just newcomers in the cryptocurrency space and don't have a lot of experience in the past Bullrun, we know that bitcoin could easily explode at any moment, and selling at a much lower price will just bring down the price more because of panic selling.

But at some points it's gonna stabilize maybe around 35k$-40k$ for a few months and then explodes again at any moment, in my opinion, bitcoin has a lot of demand compared in the past year and I could guarantee that it will skyrocket just because of low supply alone.

I would like to see it at a much lower price so that I could buy more bitcoin, I still accumulating bitcoin, I just buy and buy because of the low price and it's gonna be a big profit in long term.

It's actually great when banks have this your if your able to do this with your banks and that could actually give you a lot of versatility to where you could put your money or if you want to transfer or withdraw your money.

That thing you easily be done in this kinds of services, but mostly the thing about this is it will become centralized and you have no control over your funds and that's not a good thing for some investors or holders since they want to have the private key to their own wallet.

Doing centralized or decentralized has both pros and cons but there are also people who don't want the responsibility, for example, if you lose your password or pin code you could just go to your bank and verified it then they will give you a new one, in the decentralized wallet if you lose your private key there's no way to recover your bitcoin anymore.

I think this is just what Elon musk wants and what his plans for a long time ago before he even started making tweets about dogecoin.

I'm afraid if Elon Musk is just doing this price manipulation, it could be a huge problem. I don't like it since he picks dodge over bitcoin which is a meme coin so we could clearly see a useless token to have a high price in the market which is really dangerous and risky.

I was hoping for both bitcoin and dogecoin will be the pick, but the base of what happened is just really sketchy in my opinion announcing that they will not support bitcoin just because it is bad for the environment which is already a thing a long time ago, I'm pretty sure those are just lies.

Do your research in cryptocurrency, bitcoin, etc before starting investing, Start saving to start an initial investment in cryptocurrency, and start right away as soon as possible.

Most of the common mistakes of new investors are investing everything in cryptocurrency without even doing research and not knowing how risky investing in cryptocurrency is, Selling your investment at a low price where buy the crypto, not doing "Buying low sell high", being too greedy to the profit and not having an exit strategy in cryptocurrency.

There are a lot of members in the forum that has the experience that could help you in your trading but at the same time, you should do your own research and in your way, you will gain experience.

I would agree with that since there are a lot of newcomers here in the cryptocurrency or like for example here in bitcoin, After crossing the ATH of 20k$ the market just exploded and that is the time when the bitcoin is trading and a lot of newcomers are also investing in bitcoin.

Bitcoin just exploded up to 60K$ which is pretty high from the past ATH of around 20k$, newcomers that don't have enough experience and just new to bitcoin are not used to dumps, because they think that the market will just continue to go bigger and bigger. That is why a lot of newbies lose a lot of money after the Tesla bitcoin announcement newbies easily panic sells dropping the price to around 30k$.

So I think Amateurs are a huge cause of these bubbles but at the same time they were needed to reach new Heights and increase the marketcap as they gain experience, the growth was huge and the next time the market comeback it will be a huge bubble again. We could totally reach even a 1million dollar price in bitcoin but it will be a big bump of the pump and dump that is going to happen before reaching that.

Removing the merit would be a disaster because it can easily be abuse by the members and It is a big issue in the forum in the past years, because members can easily rank up a lot of members abuse signature campaigns and bounties here in the forum.

There was no guide about how to earn merits since the merit needs to be given by some other members here in the forum, You cannot guarantee merits even though you have a high-quality post. Some of your posts are posted in sections where merits are not commonly given like games and rounds, off topics, etc. so I guess you could focus on other sections where you help members like Beginners & Help.

The best way to do it is just to continue your journey in cryptocurrency and then share your experiences and answers some questions here in the forum in that way you are helping the forum to grow and at the same time, your gonna have a high chance of getting merits.

The users or customers would always come back if they have a great experience in a casino or gambling websites, I guess with a new casino there is no way to know it is actually a legitimate one, but the scam casinos would always have a bad reputation and the humor are gonna spread really fast. People would always have bad reviews and would know if there are some sketchy things happening in a casino or a gambling website.

But with fake reviews people would need valid evidence, yeah it could affect some newbies from starting in the website but if they are someone who has a great experience with the website or casino they know that it is a legitimate website.

Similar to what reviews we have here in the forum, there are people who say that this gambling website is a scam but members would not believe that easily unless he proves it.

It might go 25k$ but it will never stay at that market price, probably just a few minutes because I think that was just too low for the value of bitcoin, And a lot of investors will immediately buy back bitcoin if the price too that low, even below 30k$ the bitcoin market already has a big resistance at that price.

I think this is just a normal pullback since we are just so bullish in cryptocurrency this past month, the dump was actually great since we could accumulate a lot more bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, I mean buy it at a very low price.

When the market back up again the price would be x10 and the marketcap will be x3 of whats the ATH of bitcoin, so this is a big opportunity for investors who believed in bitcoin and crypto.

Being into the crypto space really gives me a lot of opportunity like investing in bitcoin, trading in the market, and making a profit on it. So many opportunities like doing signature campaigns, being exposed to blockchain games, etc.

I believed without bitcoin or if bitcoin doesn't exist I guess I'm not exposed to this financial stuff and probably I don't really have something or even savings, since I just save a lot and learn a lot when it comes to financials and investment when I started in cryptocurrency and bitcoin.

But for sure at some point, I wanted to have a small business and probably buy a small apartment so that I could buy a passive income, or maybe just invest everything on real states.

It's expected to happen, 2021 we are still up and bullish even though after the Tesla announcement and the Elon Musk tweets about bitcoin where they will not support bitcoin anymore or accept it as payment.

I mean no need to worry since it is impossible for the market price to go very low these days, there will be a huge resistance below 30k$ for sure.

Honestly, I like this dump since I could still accumulate more bitcoin if this continues and that gives us more time to buy more of the other potential altcoins for a lot more profit. Dumps are not negative, and its not a good time to sell after all red market means buy and the green market means sell.

A common scams or probably phishing to get information from users, there are a lot of scams similar to this probably to get the prize your gonna need to pay a amount or they call you to and need your card number to deposit the prize.

This is too good to be true, most of the time it is all scams, so never entertain this type of email, don't click links from this kind of email because there are many clever ways to inject malware/virus or hack ur computer.

There are some people on youtube who mess with these scammers wasting their time by giving fake card numbers and sometimes the scammer is the one who gets hacked.

Based on news that i've read like the development and projects plans etc. Is it very unlikely to happened that El Salvador wil revoke it, I mean yeah there is always a possiblity but they are already starting project on bitcoin, and it is just getting started. There are always a possibility but it doesnt mean it is gonna happened.

They need to test it out first if it is going to work or something so if they where gonna announce that there should be a huge reason why.

There is a huge difference on Tesla and El Salvador in my opinions, but using bitcoin as a national currency could be the next big thing that could probably be the reason for other countries to step up and look what El salvador achieved when it comes to bitcoin. But for sure if that happened there might be a big bumps in the price of bitcoin if bad news is announce.

We are still in a bullish even after the dump because of the Elon Musk tweets or the Tesla announcement about bitcoin. Because starting in the early 2021 we experienced a very big pump so probably most of us are still a lot bullish.

I dont really think that the bitcoin could go down to the point like what happaned in the past 2017-2018. I think it is almost impossible to go below 20k$ in the market. But because we need to have a correction i think market could still go down around 25k$.

There are a lot of market manipulation happening so the dump might be a effect of that but its a good opportunity either eay since the market will always bounce back.

In my opinion, these meme coins are dangerous and moon, the pump in this meme coin are just because of hype since they were just meme coin and has no utilities.

I wouldn't trust a thousand dollar investment to this kind of token that has no utility, the market price for sure is just gonna continue to go down after the hype of the token, something like SHIBA I just can't imagine a long term investment to this kind of token and something that the developer to does really make sense.

I guess if your lucky it could totally work but the risk in this kind of token is just too high to try investing a big amount of money, but maybe the hype could be worth it if you're lucky just like what happened to the DOGE coin.

I mean most of the altcoins are dependent on the market price of bitcoin and you could totally notice that in the market when the market price of bitcoin pumping a lot of altcoins are pumping as well and vice versa when the bitcoin is a dump.

But at the same time, not all of the altcoins in the market are dependent on the price of bitcoin, I guess some are DOGE coin, XRP, etc. you could notice when the market is pumping sometimes are XRP and DOGE coin and going in a different way.

It could be because of the pairs or conversion of bitcoin to other altcoins but I'm not actually sure about the main reason for this but there is a huge connection between bitcoin and altcoins when it comes to the market price for sure.

I mean it does feel good if you received merit because it just means that someone appreciates your post here in the forum, I don't get a lot of merits recently so I feel good when I received 1, Of course at some point I also wanted to be a hero member or a legendary, but for someone who always receives a lot of merits, it might not matter anymore for them.

For some legendary members, it wouldn't really be that important since they are already legendaries, and probably the forum is already their hobby helping other members, etc.

The merits are not something that you could always get, still helping members and spreading information about cryptocurrency, making a discussion is the main point here in the forum.
