I just realized that today is my 5th anniversary as a member of the Bitcointalk community, most of you don't know me and probably have not seen any of my posts, but I can assure you that I had a wild journey which I never saw coming, form a random newbie with a silly user name asking some stupid questions, to top 10 most merited user at some point, I don't even recall how all these events played out, not even sure how I managed to write 7000 posts despite being busy most of the time, but shit happens.  My story is probably isn't new, many members built better profiles than mine in a short time, but the thing you need to understand is that it isn't difficult AT ALL to have a good place in this forum, you don't need coding skills or to be able to speak multiple languages, you don't even need to know how Bitcoin actually works, all you have to do is remain consistent and do your best to learn and share knowledge. I would like to thank everyone who is contributing something to the forum, keep up the good work.
Now a new journey begins, and hopefully, 5 years later I would be able to write another boring story like this one.  First of all congratulations you @mikeywith for your successful journey. You have played an important role in the forum with dedication for 5 years passed by sharing and imparting your knowledge. You have already crossed more than 7000 posts which is not easy. Also you are also ahead in terms of reliability that means trust level. @mikeywith Your profile currently has 1834 activities and 5069 merits. Undoubtedly, your long journey in Bitcoin Talk forum discussions has played a great role and the tireless work you have done today has created this milestone. Your forum account is now a focal point of inspiration and motivation for many. Hope you will go ahead and play more important role by imparting your knowledge and talent in the forum continuously. |

indeed out there I don't care for those who say negative things about btc because I know they don't know enough about the performance of bitcoin to allow them to say that. they look odd at the principle they maintain which is to fully trust the decisions of the bank.
I have similarity with you in this concern. I strongly believe in Bitcoin. I still buy bitcoin and if the price of bitcoin drops drastically tomorrow my interest in Bitcoin will not decrease. Though i won't find that dip anymore. But I have always taken the DCA technique for my bitcoin holding. I suspect that those who talk negatively about bitcoin are either trying to find the bitcoin from the dip or they just don't know about bitcoin. Whatever the SEC or the Fed says that won't stop me from holding Bitcoin. World leaders are now worried about Bitcoin. Many of them are regretting why they didn't collect bitcoins from the dip. So even if the price of Bitcoin rise up, I find a dip. I will continue with my strategy until I collect bitcoins according to my expectation. |

You make a really good point that it will take some time for everyone to fully adopt the use of cryptocurrencies as legal tender because not everyone is familiar with them or knows how to use them for transactions. I'm not sure, but I believe that the government of El Salvador should host seminars for citizens to provide them with introductory lessons on cryptocurrencies. Most shop owners will have interest since its legality is coming from the government till today I love the decision that has been taking by their government.
I can agree that when El Salvador made BTC a legal tender in 2021, many people did not know what it was and how to use it, i even believe that the government that made the law didn't even know so much about BTC then, but the knowledge has been growing in El Salvador since then and i feel most merchants now have the knowledge to accept BTC if they want to, probably for most merchats who are yet to adopt BTC payment, it may be because of lack of interest, rather than not being familiar with how to implement it, which is very easy. Agree with you. When something new is started, it takes time to implement. It will be the same in El Salvador. Initially people didn't know about Bitcoin now after knowing they are showing great interest and it continues to this day. Citizens of El Salvador are now well aware of Bitcoin. People who were unfamiliar with Bitcoin even a few days ago are now starting to dream about Bitcoin. Many people are also planning to start using Bitcoin in their business and maybe it will be implemented in a short of time. One of the great things about Bitcoin is that Bitcoin has been taught to the general public in El Salvador, in addition to government agencies, but also privately. The results of which will soon be reflected in El Salvador and El Salvador will have a better blockchain experience than some other big countries. Moreover, they have already announced that they have waived tax on all types of technological goods for Bitcoin and Blockchain based work which has won worldwide acclaim. |

Some days looks like a curse day, I wanted to keep it to myself but I felt it more reasonable to share. I involved in some business investment which initially the promise was really good after week of deal, I just back from work, I saw a call from my colleague we did the business together and I call back to hear him crying on phone. That the business we involved into is fake and the office is close, the MD has disappeared, for two minutes I was shivering with sweat because that's the highest amount I have involved business so far. Am regretting to have used in bitcoin by now I would have be on advantage with bullish price.
I have not gotten myself this days. Do you feel down when such sudden hits happens to you?
It is painful to accept such a situation. You have made a big mistake as you invested a big amount of money without knowing anything. You should have known that never ্give money on someone's word. He can be your office colleague or whoever. At present there are various types of fraud at every level. Your colleague may also be involved with it or he may also be cheated. Fewer people make such mistakes in the present age. If you had kept investing in Bitcoin, you would not have faced this loss., no one could have stolen your money today. You were the owner of your own money and not depend on anyone else. I personally also lost in trading business but it doesn't feel like a loss anymore where I learned something from it. |

Some opportunities come in every person's life, someone can use it and some fail. Your university friend made a big change in your life by letting you know about Bitcoin. Maybe many others like you have been aware of Bitcoin but haven't taken advantage of the opportunity.
Not only did your friend play a key role in your conversion, but you yourself were positive, which is why you easily adopted Bitcoin with you. I was also influenced by a friend of mine. I will be forever grateful to him. But the sad thing is that the person through whom I entered this Bitcoin world and change my life But the person who was not able to bring about any change in his life. That is why I think both providers and receivers should be positive for change his own life.

An investor knows better what he should do. If he is taking a big risk in Bitcoin investment which later becomes a big threat then it is better to take his profit and if you think it won't have much of an impact on investing in the long run, I'd say this is not the proper time. Some investors may be getting around 1x profit right now as a result of investing in bearish times but the way Bitcoin is trending now has the potential to double in the next few days. Bitcoin is capable of changing its movement at any time so investors have to take appropriate decisions. Some investors think to selling and buying from the dip. But current conditions portray bullishness accordingly so in my opinion it is not the right time to withdraw money from bitcoin.

Everyone expected to get government job. But is it possible for everyone to get this government job? Of course not and the government can't afford it either. But one thing should be kept in mind that to keep running the wheels of the economy of a country mainly dependent on the private sector.
As much as people developed of any country, there will be more economically more stronger government. If citizen can be an entrepreneur then he does not need a government job rather he can donate enough amount to the government. If you want to do something good, it is better to depend on yourself instead of depending on government jobs.

What you say is the reality. Nowadays the richest are getting richer. New investors have to do a lot of hard work in that regard where many people are not getting their due reward despite their hard work. Moreover, to build any business organization , a lot of investment is required which is not possible for common people. But there are still some people who can use their talent to reach their goals. It is difficult but still not impossible for the poor people to be rich.

Have been in crypto just over a year now so have yet to experience a bull market and up till now I have just bought and held.
Currently my portfolio is 10% down and am not planning on selling any until I 2x at least.
Bitcoin takes up 30% of my portfolio with the rest in altcoins.
What is everyone expecting in 2024/25 bull run? Is a 10x a good return or should we be hoping for more?
The current price of bitcoin is just a third of the ATH of the moment. And I expect that price will easily be overthrown as the ATH in the next bull run. I expect the bull run in 2025 will easily double the ATH. So, you can expect at least x6 of your current investment. That is given that it follows the usual trend when Bitcoin is on the bull run. But do not put too much on this but take as much profit as you can on mini bull runs so you won't regret it when your expectation does not happen. Many people hope for a bull run and soon reach a new ATH, but they don't have enough bitcoins, it's better for us to focus on continuing to buy so that when a bull run we get a real profit rather than just thinking bull run but not buying when the price is cheap like now. The Bitcoin bull run is certainly happen, if not today that will happen tomorrow. But the main fact is that how much you have been able to collect Bitcoin. If you think your Bitcoin is adequate amount, you can feel comfortable, but those who have not yet been able to purchase Bitcoin will have no profit. It is not impossible to expect a good return on your investment in any bull market. When a bull market occurs, its previous high is exceeded. |

A bear market can be a frustrating time for bitcoin entrepreneurs mostly, but those who are able to adapt and navigate the market conditions can still be successful, meanwhile. A bear market can make it even more unpredictable, increased competition and lower profit margins for existing bitcoin entrepreneurs.
I think there're more problems facing bitcoin entrepreneur in a bear market that I don't even know about as a Newbie.
Remember that someone is expecting a bear market and some expect bullish. Their attitudes are different but the purpose of those two persons are the same who dream about Bitcoin. Those who want Bitcoin from the bearish look for buying opportunities from the dip. And those who are anticipating a bullish movement have bought Bitcoin and are expecting maximum profit from it. Bitcoin would not be bullish if there was no bearish movement in Bitcoin. The Bullish Market basically get the strength from the bearish. So we should accept both of the bullish and bearish trend of bitcoin. When you learn to understand this, you too can expect bearish Bitcoin to strengthen your holdings. |

Even in today's modern world, except for a few people in Europe-America, the general public of the entire world does not have a proper understanding of Bitcoin.  Except European-American, anyone who have a little idea about Bitcoin also have misconceptions. Due to this problem, many people are unable to invest in a great platform like Bitcoin even if they want to. This problem may not seem like a big deal to many, but think about third world countries. A sad reality is, in my country 80-90% of the population are not familiar with Bitcoin. Is there any way to solve this problem? In fact, If everyone could have a free discussion opportunity about Bitcoin then everyone would get a better idea about Bitcoin very easily. Because a lots of people have interest in Bitcoin but they ignore it for the legal complications. This problem exists in most of the countries in the world. However, the positive thing is that despite being so many adverse situation people know about Bitcoin and are willing to invest in bitcoin. Different countries are now planning about Bitcoin adoption. In the meantime El Salvador has officially accepted Bitcoin and more countries are slowly connecting. I think in this way Bitcoin will create acceptance everywhere and people will gain better knowledge about it. |

The most important is breaking news. Bitcoin bonds issuer Bitfinex granted full license. Everyone was waiting for this bonds sanction and finally it was implemented. In this implementation this El Salvador has won and will always be on the side of Bitcoin.
There has been a lot of excitement and enthusiasm over Bitfinex Securities' license acquisition from the country of El Salvador. From now on Bitfinex Securities can legally offer its services to customers in El Salvador. Which has set another example to the whole world. El Salvador has also begun to have a positive impact in the cryptocurrency space as well. Interestingly, El Salvador has already established a framework for issuing bitcoin-backed bonds, and more importantly, they have waived taxes on all technological advances to attract businesses and investors to the digital asset, it is obviously a landmark move. I think El Salvador is making significant contributions to serve as a global hub for crypto. The negative comments of some countries about them and the adverse attitude of the IMF did not stop them. El Salvador is the first country to embrace blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. Such exemplary actions by them will increase people's interest in digital currency in future. |

Many people already believe in bitcoin because of course they expect a greater value, but we ourselves have to believe that even though the DCA is a small average fee, if we do it for years it will be big, imagine if we only do DCA for 8 years with $ 20 per week will generate $ 8k more that's the value of the total dollar what if the price of bitcoin goes up? That could be 3-5x more.
Those who lack of money, there is no better strategy to buy Bitcoins with following DCA method. We often teach our children by hearing a story that "Slow and steady wins the race" In this case I would say that those who start the journey with faith in Bitcoin despite having limited funds will eventually reach their destination but definitely that requires patience. About Bitcoin Bull run we have a little idea that it will be more bullish in the coming days which many of us can't imagine. Some people are thinking about $1 million price of Bitcoin and some one is anticipating that if the American dollar goes down then the price of Bitcoin can reach $10 million. Personally I believe in Bitcoin. I would like to see it as my only asset in the long run which will act as the only guide to fulfill my dreams. |

The match was really incredible. It was not expected that this match would be a draw. However, many fans of Man City are very happy because the match is a draw. In this match Arsenal got only 1 point which now puts them 6 points ahead of Man City. After that Man City will play Leicester City and Man City can easily win this match and collect points from here and get close to Arsenal's points. It is doubtful whether Arsenal can stay in the number 1 position now.
that's what makes competition competitive when they focus as best as possible to get full points but what happens at the end of the match they have to share points in this match. From this result, Arsenal points gain was 73 points and 6 points ahead of Manchester City. In that match, Liverpool played better than Arsenal, even Liverpool were able to carry out many attacks from the early minutes, but conceding first made the situation a little different on the field. but I am amazed at Liverpool game in this match. Liverpool played much better in comparison. Arsenal had a lot of bad luck. And because of doing badly in this match, they can go behind Man City. Arsenal's points tally made it look like they could be crowned Premier League champions this season. But they are performing very poorly at the moment which is why they will fall behind Man City and as Newcastle are performing well Newcastle and Arsenal also could be a tough challenger. despite looking good and several times having attacking methods, Liverpool looked very difficult to beat Asenal in yesterday's match and only ended in a draw. it is difficult for Liverpool to be able to compete with Arsenal and Man City, these two teams are the strongest teams in the Premier League. but if Liverpool only want to catch Man United points maybe it could be because currently MU in my opinion is not good enough and Liverpool is better. In football games, many times there are different situations. As we saw Argentina lose to Saudi Arabia in this year's FIFA World Cup. But Argentina won this year's World Cup so Arsenal's draw with Liverpool today is no guarantee that they won't do well next. But yes, Arsenal will be in a lot of challenge for this match with Man City. Liverpool are still many points behind Man United so they need more time to compete with Man United. Obviously, It doesn't take much time to change situation. After one and a half decades, Arsenal still haven't been able to win the championship trophy from English premier league. So they will try their best to bring victory in this season. Since 2004, Manchester City has won the champion's title 6 times, including consecutive wins in 2018, 2019 and 2021 2022. They have a chance this time too. The main thing is how well Arsenal will perform this season, particularly when the two biggest rivals Arsenal and Manchester City meet, it is possible to predict who will be the best of the tournament at that moment. |

I totally see where you're coming from, folks. Those two critical losses must have been a colossal letdown for Al-Nassr supporters, and the anticipation for Ronaldo was, like, sky-high. But we've gotta keep in mind that football's an intricate game, and a whole bunch of factors come into play when it's about a team's triumph or defeat.
One aspect Al-Nassr could really hone in on is their tactics, their strategy, you know? They've gotta scrutinize their rivals like hawks, whip up a game plan that amplifies their strengths and zeroes in on their foes' frailties. They also need to amp up that team chatter and synergy, making sure everyone's singing the same tune, striving for the same dreams.
And, of course, there's always space for growth when it comes to individual player prowess. Ronaldo may not be the titan he once was, but he's still a precious gem on the team. By leveraging their strengths, collaborating as a unit, and perpetually honing their abilities, Al-Nassr can still seize greatness this season!
Well, they do have a manager that is not world class and a team that is not a world class level. Sure they spent a lot of money on Ronaldo, but if I were the owner I would have just hired a much better manager for a lot of money, and also get like 3-4 other players that are good, when you combine all that it still doesn't cost as much as Ronaldo, and the team would be much better. Imagine getting someone like Mourinho for 20 million a year, and then hiring some great players for 10-15 even 20 million a year, that means the total would be 240 million a year, and I mean 20 million a year salary on all of the roster plus the manager, that's a little bit more than Ronaldo, if you make it 10? That's nearly half as cheap as just one Ronaldo. I disagree - because if they spent so much money on Ronaldo They are not fools they know what gem they have brought to their club and Ronaldo is blessed to be landed on the scared land and experience some amazing stuff Before spending big money surely this could've been discussed much. Everything done at the right time made things even popular. Once after the FIFA World Cup the announcement came and it turned to be the big talk. One of the oldest football league which isn't much into discussion had been discussed and the viewership increased from all around the world. All have happened out Ronaldo into the team. Surely what have been spent on him will be earned within short time period, because each and every act is connected to revenue. I think in Saudi Arabia they have money to spend and a lot of them.They spend it really wisely by bringing Cristiano to be playing in their league for 2 seasons as those 500 million EUR spent for him in total I am sure they have made publicity enough to this league and I am sure for the upcoming season if voices are true that Messi maybe leaving in this league also,then the countries asking to broadcast this league will be huge enough and the revenue will come together with making the country better known in the football world. Even this very thread here has gone to 60 pages when before the Ronaldo move it barely had 1-5 pages in total. Saudi Arabia's club Al-Nassr has taken a good initiative for signing Cristiano Ronaldo in their football league and this is really a big surprise for all football fans. Although Al-Nassr spend $ 20 million but the league has added a different dimension to football lovers in contact with this star player. A year ago, the Saudi Arabian League is not known to football world. But whenever such an agreement has been made, the club's attraction as well as the league get much popularity to the world. As Ronaldo has taken a big figure from the price, he has created a big distance from other teams. He has already become the most important weapon of the club. |

Arsenal vs Liverpool was a great game to watch. Liverpool started off poorly but in second half they were beast with creating pressure and keep on taking some chances. It was Ramsdale who saved the day for us and secure a point for us with his amazing saves. Now it seems to me that it is gonna go down to the City vs Arsenal match which will set things clear about the title race.
It was surely an interesting one to watch. In my opinion, Liverpool was the better side of the two. They had initially started really poorly which had allowed Arsenal to score two goals to take the lead in the first half. I had thought Arsenal would ride on the goals and the momentum gathered in the first half and go on to perhaps score more goals and win the game. Liverpool came out aggressively during the second half and really pressured the Arsenals goalie which saved quite a number of balls going in. I think People had underestimated Liverpool in a way and thought Arsenal would have a clear win. I did think Arsenal would win the game with some good resistance from Liverpool but Liverpool put up more of a resistance than I thought they had and managed to hold the league leaders to a draw. Liverpool didn't get much out of this match and as they couldn't even finish in the top four their hopes of playing in the Champions League next season are over. Although they fell behind by 2 goals with Arsenal, they managed to equalize with a 2-2 draw. If Arsenal had won yesterday, they had the chance to be well ahead in the points table but it was not to be. Currently, the difference between the top two teams is only 5 points. However, there is big match left against City this season that will take place next 27 April. |
